Jeff didn't go to school the next week, as doctors were puzzled as to what happened to him. None of them knew of the Chronivac's power.
People were quiet around Danny and didn't bring the subject up in front of them.
One week later, their classmate Anna started to report feeling odd, a little hungrier, a little heavier. It wasn't time for her period but it was a similar feeling. A few days later, her friends reported similar feelings.
It was exactly on day 7 that she started to seriously consider the worst: could what happened to Jeff happen to her? Once she had the damned thought, she couldn't escape it. She wished to God she'd never interacted with Jeff. She couldn't know for sure, but she increasingly knew something was terribly wrong.
Late in the morning she went to the bathroom to pee. She wiped her genitals, then took a good look at them. She ran her hands over her face, her heavy breasts, her soft hairless legs. Part of her understood what was to come, and that there was nothing she could do about it.
She returned to class.
