David had been digging through the dusty backroom stacks of the library when he had stumbled upon it. It was an old book that was for certain but it looked sturdy enough upon inspection. When David looked at the cover he discover that the book must have once been wet because the front was peeling and unreadable. The book was large but David was still able to open it and hold it on his arm; the words at first glance were unreadable but they where unmarred by any damage. Focusing David knew that the letters where there to be read but his efforts where in vain as the book remained unreadable. Intrigued none the less David spoke with the Librarian and kept the book for himself when he left later in the day.
The walk across campus was cold, there had not been any snow yet but most people thought it was only days away. Shivering beneath his jacket David hurried across the campus green to his dorm. Once inside the heat suffused him as he unlocked his room, it was his all 120 square feet of it. David considered himself lucky, he had heard stories of awful roommates and was glad he had escaped that potential problem. Setting the book down David once again strove to decipher the text which he could see but seemed unreadable, that was until it seemingly cleared and became understandable before Davids eye. Intrigued David immediately began reading. At first he thought it was a cooking book because all it seemed to contain was a set of instructions and ingredients list. But as he read on he realized that this was no book for cooking food it seemed to be for growing people. The book call the things body suits and David could only think of morph suits people wore for plays and Halloween. The more he read though he realized these where no innocent costume they where real wearable bodies, and the ingredients where not hard to get nor where the instructions hard to carry out. But seemed that there where several different types of suits that could be created, each having a subtle difference to the other. One was just a skin that he could wear, he would retain his body shape but his skin would appear to be that of the persons skin as well as hair and facial features. Another one gave the wearer the body shape and appearance of the individual, a third one gave the wearer the body shape of the skin and helped the wearer "move and speak" like the skin. There were many others including one that was just a head and face. But which one would David choose?
