The moment the doorbell rang, I was ready. I wrenched the door open with such gusto that the postman eyed me, somewhat confused.
“Your. . . Package has arrived, sir,” he said slowly. “Please sign here.” He pushed a clipboard in front of me, indicating to the line at the bottom of the paper clipped to it, handing me a pen.
“Thank you very much,” I said as I hastily signed my name, and took the package from the postman.
“Have a nice day,” he said as he walked away.
“Oh, I will,” I muttered quietly to myself. “I most certainly will.”
I closed the door behind me and half ran to the living room, placed the package on the coffee table, and with lightning speed ripped the brown paper from the box.
Emblazoned upon the box’s side was the name: “Magicell® Transformation Industries”. I flipped open the box’s top and excitedly began rummaging through its contents. Among the items I retrieved from the box was an informational compact disc, an instruction manual, a USB and A/C adapter cable, and a rectangular device with a small LCD screen and multiple buttons covering its main surface. This was what I wanted. The advertisements for this little device boasted that it was capable of transforming a human being into whatever he or she desired. The device cost quite a bit of money, but if it truly worked, it would be well worth it.
I set the device down and opened the instruction manual. On its first page, read a message: “Thank you for purchasing Magicell®’s newest and most efficient transformation device! This hand-held construction of science and sorcery lets you wield the power to transform yourself into anything you can imagine. This guide will help. . . Well, guide you toward making your transformations as safe and pleasurable as possible. Your ultimate dream transformation experience is only minutes away. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual to begin.”
Wasting no time, I flipped through the manual, taking in every bit of information I needed to operate the device. After I was satisfied with what I had read, I powered the device on. After a moment, the screen lit up, and the Magicell® logo flashed across the screen. When the logo faded out, a menu popped up. The menu showed a number of options to choose from:
1)Inanimate Transformation
2)Plant Transformation
3)Food Transformation
4)Transgender
5)Animal Transformation
6)Mythical Creature Transformation
7)Dinosaur Transformation
8)Elemental Reconfiguration
9)Size Modification
10)Shape Modification
11)Random Category
Looking at my choices, I found it difficult to decide on any one category. I wanted to try out being an animal, but both the dinosaur and Mythical Creature sections seemed to intrigue me greatly. On the other hand, simply trying to imagine what it would be like to transform into an inanimate object brought quite an arousing feeling, even more so when I glanced at “Transgender”. I wouldn’t mind temporarily trading my male genitalia for a pair of breasts and a vagina. Although I didn’t quite understand what “Size” or “Shape” modification meant, I was curious to find out. All in all, I didn’t really care which one I chose, so rolling a random category was definitely an option.
My finger hovered above the device as I strained my mind to choose. Should I choose for myself, or should I choose a random category to continue from?
