Megan couldn't help but marvel once again at the amazing detail the Chronivac went into. She only wanted to make simple changes, though.
The selected Head and selected Brown/Balding/Short. And Beard: Shadow.
She accepted the changes.
REACTIVATE SUBJECT?
She selected yes and kept Will on full aware.
Will stumbled forward, awake this time. "What was that?!"
Just then a large clump of hair fell off Will's head. He saw it and reached up and rand his fingers through his hair. He came back with a hairball.
Panicked, he ran to the bedroom mirror and watched as his hairline receded, leaving a peninsula of hair left and a bald spot appear on the back of his head. As the hair fell, it vanished in little wisps of dust; the Chronivac cleaning up after itself. He also noticed this beard area turn a dark grey with stubble.
"Megan!" he yelled to her. "This is not funny! Tell me what's going on! What's happening to me?!?"
