Jim decided to hold off changing his family. He wanted to change himself.
He got an idea. He set the balloon to control his age and muscles and began blowing. Pretty soon he was no longer a small blond 12-year-old, but a big muscular blond 17-year-old with a killer face, boulder pecs, washboard abs, football biceps, and legs like steel pythons.
Jim made his way to the high school football field, where football tryouts were being held. He wore a black T-shirt which strained against his biceps and pecs. He signed up under the name of Jackson Orwell (his real last name was Orwell).
Soon it was his turn to throw a pass, which he did so far and well that "Jackson" became quarterback of the Henryville Hornets.
Jim returned home. Soon he settled into a routine. He'd wake up in the morning and go to middle school. After school, he'd sneak into the empty locker room, turn into Jackson, then leave to go to football practice. He-d become Jim again before he got home, but at night he'd be Jackson again and go out and party. He'd return home in early morning, become Jim again, and catch a couple hours sleep.
Jim thought he could live his double life forever. But then, one day...
