Rose was sitting at home with nothing to do. She was on benefits and all her friends were at work so she just watched TV.
Her mother walked in the room and did the usual speech about getting a job, but she just ignored her and watched her show. Her father came home and started the same speech as her mother. He worked at a removals company for the deceased, emptying the homes after their death. He put his foot down and demanded she work as part of his removals firm. She sighed but knew she best get along with it.
The next day came and after a quick signing of forms she started her day. She was 20 years old and had a chubby look to her. She had done some sports growing up, but gradually lost interest as she got older and had a few injuries. Her long blonde hair went down to her busty DDs on her 5'5” frame.
Rose found the job to be very easy. The guys left her the easier to handle items.
About a week into the job, they had to clear out an old woman's flat. She had a long life - living well into her 90s - but had died after an accident. Her family had emptied the flat, removing as much as they could. Rose and her crew were hired to dispose of the rest.
Rose went into the old woman's bedroom along with another worker and started to clear out the drawers. She opened one drawer and found a small wooden box. It had a fine layer of dust on it. The woman's family had left fingerprints on it, but had evidently decided against taking it.
She opened the box and found 3 bottles roughly the size of cough medicine bottles along with a few bits of paper. She read the bits of paper at a glance. A few choice words jumped out at her: bust, lust, strength. She put the box aside and continued to clean.
It didn’t take long to clear out the drawers and she started to work on the wardrobe. There were still a few bits of clothing inside it. After placing them aside on the bed, she saw an old photo on the floor. It was a picture of the old woman, dated about 10 years ago. The woman stood on a beach in a red bikini, one not suitable for a woman her age. However, the woman looked like she had about the same body shape as Rose did now!
Wow, she thought. Hope I look that good at 80.
She returned to cleaning. It didn’t take long to clear the room. As they finished up, she picked up the wooden box. Then she and her crew went back to their office to finish and unload the van.
Rose returned home with her father and went to her room to change out of her work clothes. She changed into a pair of blue shorts, blue vest top, and then put on her dressing gown. She was about to walk out of her room when she remembered the wooden box she put aside.
She placed it on her desk and sat down. Opening it again, she placed the bottles and paper aside. As she placed down the papers, she saw that one of them was actually a photo that was upside down. She looked at the picture: it was a woman, in her early twenties, wearing a red dress. However, she was largely overweight. She turned the photo around to read the writing - “To remind me of what I once was: 14/12/1945”.
She turned around the other bits of paper.
The first bit was a description of the bottles. The red fluid was called 'Beauty', the blue 'Strength', and the green 'Health'. She read further to find that these liquids would improve certain characteristics when ingested, the degree of change based on the quantity ingested.
Her interest peaked she looked at the final bit of paper. She turned it over and saw another photo glued onto the paper with a statement. The photo was dated 20/12/1945. It showed a woman in a black skirt and a white shirt. She looked beautiful, with a curvy body, toned legs in tights, long black hair, and, most impressive of all, a large bust. She compared this photo with the other. It was the same woman!
In 6 days she had turned into a stunner?!
Rose read on:
“Oh, the joys I have had. I was once a large whale of a young woman, and now I cannot walk down the street without causing a scene. It is hard to believe that only a week ago I couldn’t find anyone to dance with .... now I can’t walk a step outside without hearing a whistle.”
Wow, thought Rose.
She slowly looked at the liquids, amazed at the power they could hold.
