Turning to face the Host, Neil gives a wry smile. “Glint, I choose option…2”

Thunderous music plays on the other head speakers. 

“Option TWOOOO” the host cries out.

Neil, in awe of what's happening around him, didn’t feel his hands and feet tingling at first. Then, just as the audience clapping, he feels the painful pinching and sucking emanating from his ankles and wrists. It was a sensation he’d never felt before. It was like all the blood in his hands and feet was being sucked out by his body. 

“Are you ok Neil?” Glint asks with gusto. 

Neil doesn’t answer. He concentrates solely on keeping his balance as his feet shrink down to what feels like pinheads at the end of his feet. Holding on to his studio platform railing, he could feel just how dainty his hands had become. The metal railing felt like it was huge!

“Fun bit of trivia for our folks at home!” Glint plays out for the audience. “Neil was a size ten. His now size four feet are modeled after our assistant producer Kate. He’s also got her hand too!”

The audience lets out a huge cheer as Neil brings his feminine hands into view. They no longer look like his hands. Even though they are small, his fingers were long and narrow. His nails looked long and feminine. 

“How do you feel?” Glint asks as the camera focus on Neil.

Neil looks up from his hands and gives a shrug. “Erm, it's going to take some getting used to,” Neil says slowly. 

Pulling his feet from his now well-oversized shoes, he gets a slight memory from being young and wanting to wear his father's shoes. Pushing his shoes to one side and removing his baggy socks, he can’t help but feel strange now that his feet wouldn’t fit in them anymore. He’d worn those shoes for graduation and everything.

“Crew,” Glint calls out “Do we think we can get him some replacement shoes?

Neil looks down at the staging area behind him as crew members scurry around. Moments later, a young female with a clipboard holds a pair of black dolly pumps in his direction. They looked tiny in her hands, but as he grabbed them with his now dainty hands, they looked much bigger.

“Sorry,” The woman says quickly. “We didn’t have any men's shoes in your size. I hope these are ok for now.”

Neil sighs as he looks at the feminine shoes he’s been given. It’s not so much about wearing women's shoes on TV, but the fact his feet are now that small.

“It’s fine,” he whispers back as the lady scurries off.

As Neil slips the dolly pumps onto his shoes, the crowd cheers

“That’s good Neil!” Glint cries out. “I’ve got some good news for you! That change has just won your ten thousand dollars!” 

The screen in front of him lights up with huge dollar signs. Neil looks up and smiles.

“See!” Glint grins. “Knew that would cheer you up.”

Neil looks over and smiles at Glint. “It does a little,” he replies.

Glint claps and throws his head back with laughter. “More good news,” Glint chuckles. “Now you’ve got small feet, trainers are going to cost a lot less! Kids shoes are much cheaper!” 

Neil winches at his comments as the audience raptures into laughter. Shrugging his shoulders, Neil tries to remember why he’s on the game show in the first place. 

“For her,” he whispers under his breath. “Keep going….for her.” 

“Are you ready for the next stage?” Glint asks interrupting him. “Put the next stage up on the screen please!” 

Neil looks up at the mega screen animations plays out. Two choices appear on the screen, just as they did before.

“Neil,” Glint says with a serious tone. “Here are your choices for stage 2. One; losing six inches from your overall height. Two; Losing the ability to grow hair on your face, legs, arms, and chest.”

Glint pauses and smiles into the camera as the audience reacts in the background.

“Not sure about this one,” Glint comments. “How tall are you Neil?”

Looking down at his dainty feet in the dolly shoes, Neil looks up at Glint's wide grin. “I’m....,” he stutters. “I’m six foot one.” 

“Ooh,” Glint says reacting like he’s just missed an open goal. “So you’d be five foot five if you choose option one. That’s not so bad!” 

Glint then turns to the audience and plays up for them.

“What about it ladies!” he says excitedly “Would you take being hairless for the rest of your lives?”

The women in the audience let out a huge cheer as Neil stares up at the mega screen.

Glint turns to Neil and the stage goes silent. “So what's it to be!?” Glints questions.
