Nate and Apolo followed the regimen set for them. Eating the power
bars that they found in the bottom of the manila envelope precisely at
2 PM. Then they did exercises for about an hour. They rode the
stationary bikes for 20 minutes. Finally, and gratefully, they
staggered into the men's locker room stripped down and headed to the
sauna for the required 30 minutes. Each man found a bottle of water
with their name on it waiting in their assigned lockers. They were
instructed to drink the water at 5 minute intervals in the sauna.
Apolo grinned as he he held up the five minute egg timer that was
attached by a cord to his water bottle.
"How stupid do they think we are?" he said shaking his head.
"I don't care. They may be watching. I just want my body back. So I'm
going to do it exactly like they said."
"Alright, Nate, calm down. I didn't say I wouldn't play their silly
game," Apolo said.
Soon they were sitting in the sauna sweating out their aches and
pains.
"I don't think this fat guy ever did a sit up in his life before,"
Nate commented squeezing the bulge around his middle.
His egg timer chimed, and he took a drink. Apolo did the same from his
water bottle and lay back on the bench.
"At least this body is lean, but it's so damn weak. I could barely
shift those weights," Apolo complained.
After 20 minutes, the two found it was getting difficult to move, but
they both managed to drink their bottled water.
"Man, I must be dehydrated something fierce," Apolo said forcing
himself to sit upright on the wooden bench.
At the 25 minute chime, Apolo screamed, "My arms are stuck to my
sides. I can't move!"
Nate mumbled incomprehensibly. Ohno struggled to turn his body to look
at his overweight companion. The guy didn't look human anymore. He was
more like a big pink walrus.
At this point, the sauna door opened. In strode Jung-Su and Ho-Suk,
both Koreans were naked and rubbing their erect tiny penises.
"Thank God you're here! We can't move, call 911," blathered Apolo at
the two Koreans.
They laughed and high fived each other.
"You happy to see me," Jung-Su said with a ridiculous grin as he put
his hand on the side of Ohno's current body.
This was all wrong. Red lights and alarm bells flashed and screamed in
Apolo's mind. He was standing on the bench, but he was still shorter
than Jung-Su who was standing on the floor. He felt the hand on his
side, and realized he was now an armless cylinder of flesh. He
couldn't be more than 3 feet tall if that.
"Happy to see you, no pockets, so we know it's not a banana," laughed
Ho-Suk, "looks like Nate'll make me a nice chubby too." He slapped
sleeping Nate's blubbery body.
"I better lie you down on the bench. Don't want you shrinking too fast
and falling between the slats."
"No need to worry about that with Nate."
"Huh? What do you mean? Did you do this to us? You can't!"
"Dude, you should be honored," Jung-Su said as he tilted Ohno off his
feet and gently lay him on the wood bench. All the hair flopped off
Ohno's head in a big clump. He was bald.
