"Hello?" A female voice comes from the other end of the phone
"Hi, are you Katie Springer? I think I took your bag by accident," Your voice cracks a bit as you speak. Was it getting higher?
"Oh dear. You didn't touch any of them, did you?"
"Uh," your voice cracks as it rises another octave "Yes. I had to to look for your contact details."
"Shit," said Katie "Give me your address. I'll come to you, you'll need my help pretty soon."
Surprised, you accepted her words without question, giving her your address. As you're about to ask her what this is all about, you hear the phone disengage, and a dial tone.
"What was that all about?" You cleared your throat, as you put your hand up to your throat. Were you coming down with something. Your hand stops as you realize it lies flat against your throat. Your adam's apple was gone. Rushing to the mirror on the wall, you were astonished to find you could only see you could only see your head and shoulders, where you used to be able to see your whole upper body. You had shrunk at least 1ft, maybe a little more. Looking into the mirror, you see no sign of your adam's apple, but that's not the worst of it. Your eyelashes are longer, your lips fuller and any hair on your face or neck has completely vanished. Was your hair lighter in colour than before? You used to have hair as black as night, but you swear it's a lighter shade now. Normally, you'd brush it off as a trick of the light, but with all of the other changes happening to you, you almost believe it. Maybe you're hallucinating? you think to yourself. You brush that off straight away. You had heard the brain could fool itself in pretty complex ways, but you were pretty sure it wasn't this good at fooling itself. You sat down on your bed, wondering when these changes would stop.
