ISISRAXTOSA: Nowhere To Run

Chapter One: This Strange Feeling

"We're almost there, Nathan," my mother said, driving to her boyfriends house on the hill outside the city. I never liked him.He was this weird scientist, just like the ones you see in horror movies. I almost feel like Dracula, or Frankenstein's monster, would come out of the building at any minute.

"Mom, did we have to move here?" I said. You can tell, I didn't like the idea of moving. Mom didn't say a word. I believe that's because Ihad said it about a hundred times before we even left the old house.We pulled up to the creepy building. It sure looked like the house we recognize in Transylvania. Now, where is Scooby and the Gang? I look around. Getting out of the car, I took my only bag with me. We sold most of the things before we moved, so we didn't have to pack any upand haul the stuff over here. Her "boyfriend" George, cameout of the building and walked over to us.

"Hi little squirt," he said in a friendly voice. He could tell I wasn't happy and rushed over to mom, giving her a big kiss on the lips. I felt like I was about to barf. I went inside the building, not wanting to watch the lovebirds. It was a hot day today, so I went to the kitchen for something to drink. Looking in the fridge, Inotice there is nothing but water. Oh wait, I notice a bottle of soda. "What brand is this?" I thought. I opened the bottle,and without thinking, I swallowed the whole thing. "Yuck!"It tasted awful. But it was so refreshing, besides the taste.

I went upstairs to look in my room. It was such a big house; I hope I can find my way. I can hear my mom and George coming into the house. Mom is giggling, and I can tell they were heading into the kitchen. I think I found my room. There were many rooms in the house, but the room I believe was mine was already filled with a bed, just like the other with a bed. But mine was smaller and a twin bed. Theirs was a king Size Bed. So I figured this room was mine. I walk into the room and start unpacking my things into the dresser.

Downstairs, mom was sitting at the table. George figured she was thirsty. He went into the fridge to get her a drink. "I hope you don't mind water. I don't have any other type of drink at the moment, otherwise,I would offer you more choices."

"That'sfine honey," Mom said with a sigh.
George grabbed a bottle of water and shut the door. He paused for a second and opened the door again. "That's strange."
"What's strange, dear?"

"I thought I put a bottle in here with a secret formula I was workingon."

"Whatis the formula?"

"Well, it's just an experiment. I believe I found a way to change the male gender into females, without surgery. This could help the transgender community. The terrible thing is, I don't have a formula to turn females into males. Even if I did, if someone takes the formula and becomes male, they can't take another and go back to the original gender they were born with."

"Ihope Nathan didn't drink it."

"Well,we won't know right away if he did. It takes a few days to kick in."The first thing he will notice is he starts to feel faint, and dizzy. Next thing he blanks out. That's where the changes start happening. But even then, he won't even notice. Except for a few changes. If he has facial hair, it will stop growing. His hair willgrow faster, and he will notice getting shorter. Eventually, he willnotice breasts growing. He might think it's simply man boobs or something. His penis will start to shrink and..."

Justthen I came into the room. I didn't hear the conversation. I was justgoing to the fridge for another drink. All they had was water, which sucked big time. I grabbed one and stepped out of the room. "Nathan,you didn't perhaps take a bottle that wasn't water earlier, did you?"I thought I would get in trouble, so I lied. "Of course not, Ijust grabbed water and headed to my room. Why was there some other drink in there I didn't know of?"
