"Really? Just monkey feet? Not even a monkey tail?" The doctor just can't believe it.
"Yeah. I'm gonna have a hard enough time not bein' able to wear normal shoes or socks when the ground gets rough to walk on. Needin' a tail hole for all my pants sounds like overkill. Maybe someday, who knows?"
The doctor shrugs and says, "Well take off your footwear, I guess." Dale squirms out of his shoes and tosses his unfashionable striped socks on top of them. The doctor grabs an syringe and starts injecting it into Dale's forearms. "You know if you ever change your cock and balls or everything above your neck then you will not be considered legally human anymore?"
"Yeah I already got the spiel doc. Feet-n-head or feet-n-crotch. But that ain't hap'nin today."
Dale feels the mysterious injection going in. When the syringe is empty, the doctor who was already wearing gloves, puts on a medical cape, a surgery cap, and a mask. Then he pulls a strange tall lamp in front of Dale and flips it on. An alien green radiation bathes Dale's pores and feels really soothing on his skin. Then Dale starts to wiggle his toes. They feel stiff, and then they start to grow. He can see his feet starting to widen. The four smaller toes keep getting longer until they start to look like fingers. He curls them, and it almost look like he is making fists down there. What used to be his big toes crack and start to work their toward his angles, pointing toward each other as they do so.
The light clicks off, and Dale is left in wonder of his new hand feet. He waves his old big toes around, they now act just like thumbs! He makes pretty much every gesture he can think of. "It really worked!" he said.
"Yep, enjoy, whatever it is you wanna do with those things," said the doctor, pulling down his mask. Dale rests his hands (erm, FEET) flat on the cold tile floor and tries shifting his weight down onto them. He's going to have to get his balance and walk out on appendages he didn't walk in on. Hopefully Dale will enjoy the monkey paws he wanted!
