Jay slammed the front door shut behind him. Storming to his room, he threw his book-bag on the floor and flopped down on his bed. Staring
up at the ceiling, Jay thought about what the coach had been telling him after practice. He had been working out practicing the different
passing plays that the coach had just shown him when, the coach crossed the field and waited for Jay to finish the maneuver he was doing.
When Jay was done, the coach said, “Jay, we need to talk for a minute. Do you know Hank Jets?”
“Sure, Coach. He’s the tall quarterback who goes to East. Why?”
“Because he has just transfered over, and he is joining the team. And as much as I hate to say it, but he is a better quarterback then you.”
Shying, “Therefore, I’m going to have to make him the starting QB.”
“But why?”
“He is taller then you by a good four inches.” Looking Jay in the eyes, “Your just under 5’11” and we always have to do plays that move you out
from behind the line. With him, we can start doing other plays that you would be unable to do.”
Needless to say, Jay made sure to take his frustrations out on the field that day, but on arriving home he still had not been able to release all of
his anger. Looking t the ceiling and thinking about everything that had he remembered from the past three weeks, he wondered if his dad still
had that program on his computer. Sitting up, Jay wondered if the Chronivac could increase his hight like it had decreased his body fat index.
Getting off his bed and going to his father’s computer, Jay pulled up the program. His dad had always said that though they were from a family
that was only a little above average hight, but Jay wondered if he could at least make it so that his mom’s family had been very tall.
Looking up that stats on his mother’s family, he saw that she had been from a very short family. Since Jay had no memory of her and she had
no other family to speak of, he didn’t think that anyone would mind if he made the genes that he got from her all far taller. Going through the
options, he changed the setting so that he would receive more height from his mother’s genetics, but before hitting enter, he noticed that he
could also increase his intelligence. Thinking it over for a few moments, Jay decided that it couldn’t hurt to have a few more IQ points.
