"But Doctor....there must be some explanation for this...."
"I agree completely....Mr. Blackwell....there must be....but I don't know what it is....I've never encountered anything like it....neither has any of the medical sources I've consulted....I'm afraid it just has to run it's course...."
He'd been having trouble sleeping....no that wasn't right....he had awoken several times that week feeling weird....like he really hadn't slept at all....his thoughts were fuzzy and he had a funny taste in his mouth...but it usually cleared up by mid-morning....and other than fatigue he really just tried to ignore it and get on with it....
This became a regular event for him....usually three nights a week....sometimes four...it was disturbing but not as disturbing as the sudden weight loss.....he was dropping pounds faster than if he'd been on a starvation diet....and his hair was growing much faster than it ever had before....
It wasn't until the soft mounds on his chest had obviously become female breasts that he started seeing a physician!
Then he was passed from one specialist to another as they all poked and prodded him....it was during this time that his....manhood began to shrink....the doctors all measured and compared and still offered him no explanation....
"Have you been exposed to radiation?"
"No!!!"
"Have you been experimenting with narcotics?'
"No....what would that have to do with it?"
They asked him dozens of questions like that....until he finally mentioned the sleep problem he was still experiencing.....
"That could be very significant..."
More tests as the changes in his body continued....his male anatomy was almost completely transformed now....he tried to hide the changes but eventually it was all too obvious....
More tests.....the doctors were baffled and worse....some of them were looking at him very differently now.....he'd heard a couple of them breathing a little more heavily as they examined this new body....
Still the changes continued....his weight had been redistributed....as his waist shrank, his hips and his....breasts had grown....and he seemed to have shrunk a few inches in height....
It was at the clinic in Switzerland that they had found the unknown chemical in his system...and he realized that while he was there his sleep problem had finally cleared up...and he enjoyed real sleep for the entire ten days he was there...
Returning home he found the sleep issue returned immediately....sensing a connection a team had come to his house and swept it for any trace of the chemical they'd found in Switzerland....
Surprisingly they found traces of it on his pillow....
"Does anyone else live here Mr. Blackwell?"
"No, I live alone....why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering if it was possible that someone was giving you this unknown chemical while you sleep...."
He thought of those nights....where he didn't really sleep but still wasn't awake...was it possible....could someone be creeping into his house at night....and doing this to him...
His mind, his thoughts were starting to change....the man was really starting to disappear and a new female was taking his place....His suits were gone....replaced with pretty dresses...his shoes almost all had a heel although he did own a few pairs of flats....his nails had all acquired a layer of polish which he tried to color match to his outfits....
He was wearing outfits!!!!
So he waited that night....long past the time he would have normally been asleep....he waited in his bed trying to be calm as he pretended to sleep....
It was after midnight that he'd heard the sound of his door opening and soft footsteps coming nearer and nearer.....he could actually hear the intruder's soft breathing as he stood over the bed!!!
He gripped the revolver tightly in his hand and surprised the man nearly causing him to drop the vial of clear liquid!!!
"Who the hell are you...."
"I'm an admirer....I've been an admirer since the first time I saw you....please don't shoot..."
"What's that stuff? Is that what made me like this....is that what changed me?"
"Yes it is....I've been doing this for a long time....I fell in love with you a long time ago but you were a man....and I couldn't bring myself to approach a man and confess my love....and I was too afraid to change myself....so you see I had to change you...."
"I don't even know what to say....you bastard....how could you do this to me....I never wanted this.....is there an antidote...."
"No...there's no antidote that I know of....this was going to be the final dose....it would have changed you body and soul into the woman of my dreams....."
The transformed man was at the mercy of his new hormones and instead of attacking the man he put his head down and burst into tears....
Between his sobs he asked the intruder....
"Would you....would you hold me for a few minutes?"
"It's all I've dreamed of for all this time Sweetheart...."
He sat next to her and pulled her into his arms....he stroked her long hair and felt her smooth skin.....
She sighed and nestled her head against his shoulder as she raised the gun and emptied all six rounds into his chest!!!!
As his lifeless body fell to the floor she reached for the phone and dialed the police....
"A man tried to attack me in my bedroom and I shot him....please hurry!!!"
She hung up the phone and reached for the vial....he'd said it was the last dose and after it he'd be completely changed.....she put it in her bedside drawer....no need for the police to question her about it and after they'd gone she would decide whether or not to complete the transformation....for now she would just enjoy knowing that the decision was hers and hers alone!!!
