All of a sudden Colin heard the front door open.
“Marilyn, I’m back!” A woman’s voice called from the foyer as footsteps approached from Colin’s left. “I’ll be back in a second.”
‘She didn’t mention having a roommate… and this one’s another woman?’ Colin thought. ‘No, I’ve had enough today, I’ll just say hi and be done with it.’
He turned to his left and smiled. “Oh hey there, I’m Colin what’s-?”
*Haaaa-choooooo!!!!!!*
“Oh Colin, don’t get in Giselle’s face, she’s getting over a… cold…..” Marilyn said as she saw what happened.
The blonde sat there sniveling as Colin sat there with green snot splattered across his face, a strand dripping from his open mouth.
“Ah- ahhh ahh ahh- ahh ah…” Colin squeaked in stunned disgust.

*ACHOOOOOO!!!!!*
Tina swept up the wad of snotty tissues as Colin groaned in pain.
“Are you sure he shouldn’t have stayed home?” Tina asked.
“He’s had DayQuil, he’s got a thermos full of soup, he’s fine.” Wendy asserted as Colin headed over to kitchenware with a thunderous sneeze.
Colin’s sinus burned with molten phlegm as he shakily set plate sets on the shelf.
“Oh great, here comes another one.” Colin sniffled as a blonde in a leather jacket approached him with a slip of paper in her hands.
She gave him a smile and said
“Hey, I noticed you from down the aisle and was wondering if you’d like to come to a party up the-“
*ACHOO!!!*
Colin covered his mouth as he realized that he’d covered her in snot.
“I’m sorry I’m kinda… sick?” Colin said as the snot splattered on her clothes started emitting a translucent neon pink glow that spread across her body.
‘Oh great, what’s the pink glow doing THIS time?’ He thought as he watched her bust… shrinking?
Sure enough, her chest shrunk from a DD cup to a C cup, the mass transferring itself to her thighs as her jacket started melting over her tee and jeans as it all melted into a frumpy grey blouse with a knee length skirt, her high heeled boots melting and morphing into a pair of Hello Kitty sneakers with stretched out knee socks. Her make-up melted away as a huge cluster of freckles dotted her face as her hair whipped itself into a frizzy side ponytail as her sunglasses turned clear with big boxy lenses.
“S-So I guess we could go to movies another time?” She said with a heavy lisp.
“Uhhhhh…. Maybe….” Colin said as he set the last box of plates down and scrambled away.
He headed to the back room and filled a spare cart with boxes of silverware as someone tapped on his shoulder. That’s when he turned to see a couple athletically built brunettes started tapping him on the back.
“Hey, we’re new in town, know where we can find the milk?” One of them asked.
“In the fridges past aisle… aisle … ai-sle Eigh!!!” Colin blurted out as he sneezed all over them.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry!” Colin said as he turned around to grab some paper towels “Aisle eight! It’s aisle eight!”
He watched the pink glow fade from their bodies as he took another look; the brunette twins has spontaneously gotten thick messy perms and noticeably lankier limbs, as if the extra mass had been vacuumed into there G cup busts. The top heavy twins went from tank tops to the sort of sweaters Christy was found of.
“Okay, follow up question… where would you find the Dino nuggets?” The brunette twin asked in a nasally voice.
“The second row of freezers next to the other Tyson chicken products, Ma’am.” Colin said. “Why, you guys have kids?”
“Yeah, kids! One-hundred percent for our kids!” The brunette said with a snorting laugh as he pushed the cart back to the aisle as he frantically started unloading the silverware.
“What the hell was that?” Colin whispered to himself as he started breaking down the empty boxes.
He sneezed about four times back to back as he carried the busted boxes over to the pallet Chet set up earlier.
“I gotta, blow my nose, I gotta use some saline, I.. I gotta…” Colin sniffed as he rounded the corner.
*ACHOOOOO!!!!*
The pink glow came and went without a moment to spare.
“Uhhhhhh my heaaaaad…..” Colin groaned.
“Colin? You look awful.” Chet said as he came in.
“I’m okay, it’s just me and… you know… Mark.” Colin said without a second thought.
“I think you should go on your break now…” Chet said.
“I’m fine Chet…. it’s just to two of us doing things like usual….” Colin smiled as he wiped the snot running out of his nostril.
“Fine?” Chet asked “Colin you just called Marcy ‘Mark’.”
“Marcy?” Colin asked.
