Julia stepped out onto the walkway and leaned against the handrail. “It really does sound crazy doesn’t it?”
“Just a bit...” Kara agreed.
The two of them glanced around. The pavilion and pool were deserted, something Kara knew was out of the ordinary. Usually there were at least a few people swimming in the pool or jogging along the paths. The only other people they could see were the aforementioned apartment 18 occupants who were quickly carrying luggage to a sedan in the parking lot.
“Maybe they think they can escape it.” Julia shrugged.
They were just about to head back in when the man from apartment 23 fell over. Kara and Julia thought he had tripped and went to help, but quickly found that his footing was inhibited by a rapid change overtaking his lower body. A large bulge was forming in his groin, pushing his legs apart as it grew.
“What... What’s happening!” He yelled, panicking as the lump continued it’s decent.
“Is that what I think it is?” Kara asked, noticing the bulge as they sprinted to his aid.
She tried not to stare as the ever expanding tube of flesh removed his pants. The only thing keeping his groin hidden was a few inches of t-shirt fabric. That was assuming the growing tube of flesh wasn’t his new groin.
“Hey... Are you alright?” Julia asked as she approached.
“This is insane!” He said, glancing down at the fleshy extension that was gradually taking on the appearance of a new leg. “What’s happening to me?”
“I think you’ve been affected by the change.” Kara said. “It looks like it’s almost done.”
She really had no idea, but he didn’t seem to be in any pain. Just panicked. But his concern was justified, he had literally sprouted a new leg.
“I... I think it stopped...” He said, “What the fuck is this?”
He answered his own question by bending the new knee, slipping his newly formed foot free of the now-useless pants. This maneuver let his shirt fall back, revealing that his divided groin now contained two dicks on either side of the leg. Kara blushed and looked away. All things considered, she wasn’t very different.
“Here...” Julia said, offering a hand. “Let me help you up...”
