James was stuck in a rut. His apartment was small and a little dingy. He wasn't as young as he used to be, he'd not long turned 38 and still didn't have a girlfriend. His physique had begun to get a bit doughy, and was finding more and more grey hairs. He wasn't likely to get promoted at his job, not over his younger, more charming, more energetic co-workers.
So when he'd found the Chronivac 4.0 online, of course he'd ordered one. Not to use on himself, but to mess with all the women who'd turned him down, or who he knew would have turned him down if he'd asked them out... He plugged in the emitter and the CD-ROM, pre-programming some changes he knew he'd enjoy. After all, if he played his cards right, he'd be able to coerce the poor ladies back here just to get reverted!
