A New Head

    by: Ëtalfni Author IconMail Icon
"Let's see then," Isaac began, grabbing the same hair clip. "I can control my hands, so if it's just my head..."

He went to the mirror and look a good look at himself. Isaac was hardly an ugly boy, but not all that attractive either. He had short brown hair and blue eyes. He had to find a lock of hair long enough to fit the barrette and snapped it into place.

As before, there was a second when nothing happened. Then a tingling sensation, akin to his foot falling asleep, spread throughout his head.

It started with a few red hairs sprouting from the top of his head. Like a fire, soon his entire crown took a deep scarlet hue. He reached up and touched a few of the locks. It was a far cry from his usual straw-like hair. The new style was soft and lush. It thickened within his grasp. That's when he realized it was growing.

Isaac watched as his entire look changed. It appeared like he had donned someone's wig, though it was very convincing. His hair did't stop growing out until it reached past his shoulders, then it styled itself to look like he had been using conditioner his whole life.

"This is unreal," he said. It was one thing to notice his feet had suddenly shrunk, but a completely other to see his hair transform before his eyes.

But the changes didn't stop there.

The first thing Isaac noticed was his large nose not looking quite as big anymore. His lips looked fuller, as did his entire face which was becoming more round as opposed to solid and sharp. The cleft chin he was sporting became far less pronounced. Even his eyebrows slimmed down. Most of all, his cheeks and neck plumped up slightly with a rosy hue.

Within seconds, it wasn't Isaac looking at himself in the mirror. It wasn't even a female version of himself, the features were too different. There was a completely other person looking back at him, a chubby redhead. And he looked just like her from the neck up.

You have the following choices:

*Pen*
1. Isaac can control his head.

2. Isaac loses control of his head.

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
