"How about we turn you into a tampon?" Jessica said, making the changes on the device.
"Ooh, that sounds interesting," Katherine said. "It might be fun. Yeah, go ahead and make me a tampon, then."
"Alright," said Jessica, "but you should strip first. I want to watch you transform, and your clothes would just get in the way of the show."
"Yeah, you're probably right," Jessica agreed. "You wouldn't want to miss out on seeing my beautifully sexy body reduced to a piece of cotton
on a string, would you?" She began to undress, and soon was bare naked in front of Jessica, who had the Chronovac pointed right at her.
"Well," Jessica said. "Here goes." And with that she pressed the "Transform" button.
Immediately, Katherine began to shrink rapidly, her mouth, ass and pussy sealed shut and her ridiculously large breasts shrank to nothing. Her
skin turned white and started changing texture until it was no longer skin, but cotton instead. Her arms and legs retracted into her torso, which
was quickly forming into a rough cylinder. Finally, a small string pushed its way out the end that used to be Katherine's ass as she finished
shrinking to her new size. The newly formed tampon stopped squirming around like a cotton worm as the transformation ended and it no
longer possessed the ability to move on its own. Laying motionless on the floor where Katherine had stood only moments before, was a generic
cylindrical tampon.
Alice walked over and picked up her former friend and examined it closely. "Well, Katie, you're certainly quieter as a tampon."
"Actually, Alice," Jessica said. "That's not Katie anymore. It's just a tampon."
"What do you mean?" Alice said, confused.
"I figured I'd give Katie a chance to try out the Chronovac's 'no sentience' feature", Jessica grinned. "There's no brain in there. She's completely
inanimate. Can't think, feel, or nothing."
"What?" Alice said, bewildered. "You mean that thing can take away a person's mind, too?"
"Apparently." Jessica looked down at the device. "I un-checked the box that said 'sentience', so I assume that means Katie's not in there
anymore. By that logic, as long as she stays a tampon, Katie technically doesn't even exist."
"How long did you set the transformation for?" Alice said, looking at the lifeless tampon in her hand.
"I didn't set a time," Jessica admitted. "She stays like that until we reverse it manually. . . IF we reverse it, that is."
"What do you mean by that?" Alice turned to Jessica, looking at her accusingly. "Are you suggesting we leave Katie a tampon forever?"
"Oh, come on!" Jessica said. "Which of us actually even likes her? She's selfish, overly vain, and is always an ass-hole to us, especially Mary.
Don't you think she'd be much more useful the way she is now?"
"As much as I'd like to agree with you," Alice said, "it's wrong, and you know it. How do you think she would feel about it?" She held the tampon
out in front of Jessica.
"Honestly, who cares how she feels?" Jessica huffed, snatching the tampon out of Alice's hand. "She's a tampon. She doesn't feel anything. As
she is right now, she wouldn't care what we did either way."
"I agree with Jessica," came a voice from the kitchen doorway behind them. It was Mary. "I've heard some of the things she says behind my
back. She'd just as soon leave me to the same fate if she had the chance. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I were still a butt-plug were she to
have her way."
"I just don't think it would be right," Alice persisted.
"Of course it isn't right!" Mary said, almost tearfully. "But I don't care. She deserves it. I say leave her."
"It's two against one, Alice," Jessica said, shrugging. "Still, I suppose we can still value your input all the same." She handed the tampon back to
Alice. "I'll let you make the final decision.
Alice was beginning to have second thoughts. Jessica was giving her the choice that would determine Katherine's fate, and although she knew it
was wrong, she felt equally as Jessica and Mary did.
"It's kind of a hard decision, but I think we should. . .
