I decided that the easiest thing to do would be to test it on myself. I could surely reverse anything I might change within 15 minutes after all. But what should I test, exactly? I stood up from the bed and looked at myself up and down. I wasn't really much to look at, which was something I'd accepted in high school. I never had any girls swooning after me. I didn't have anything remarkable about me physically. I wasn't muscular, but I wasn't fat. I was pretty nondescript overall.
That was my problem. Nothing about me stood out. I thought everything about me should stand out. So that was going to be my test. I said aloud, "I wish that I would have a body that could make both women and men fill with desire and envy, the kind of body that would be regarded as one-of-a-kind, as 'shaped by the gods,' as the best body anyone could ever have."
I realized I went overboard with the wording, but I wanted to get the adjectives right. I stood there and waited for signs of change to begin. What was going to happen?
