Refreshingly Warm New You (Preview)

His friends directed him to the Witchy Times Inc. page and there, William spent about an hour on some long, tedious Q&A form. It asked him tons and tons of random, odd questions that he couldn’t understand the point of, like his favorite bread spread or what cycle of the moon was at when he was born. It was bizarre.

Really hope this works, he thought with a sigh. After all those questions, it better work! He opened the bottle and gave it a sniff. “Hm, mint! Well, that’s not bad, right?”

He licked his lips and took a drink. A cough escaped him, his mouth stinging. That was spicier than expected.

Still, William was excited. This was the beginning of a new day. He was going to be in shape, be fit, look handsome, the whole nine yards. He was going to be something new, something he wanted, needed to be.

William took another drink and sighed. Still spicy, but not as much before. He licked his lips then his teeth. Tongue running across his chompers, they looked a lot whiter than before. Also, they were a tad sharper too.

He placed the bottle down on the table and waited. His feet gently tapped the carpeting, impatience already setting in. He blinked slowly, fidgeting as the color of his eyes shifted. From a light blue, they brightened to a fierce red.

“...wonder how long this is supposed to take?” He frowned. “Maybe it’ll happen soon? Kind of boring just waiting around for-”

GuuRGle. He looked at his stomach, placing a hand on it. He could feel it rumble. Rumble and… recede. His chubby belly began falling back, pounds starting to melt right off.

William smiled, his heart beating faster. It’s real! This is real! Everything is going my-

GUUUUURGLE! The rumbling increased and with a lunge forward, his stomach pushed right back out. It bloated and swelled into a small muffin top, fat dipping over his pants slightly. Not only that though, but something else as well. Hairs upon his stomach were no longer dark. Color came to them, shortening them in the process as they became cream-colored.

William frowned, feeling his stomach push back against his hand. Wait, it was just shrinking! Why is it back? Not only back, but his shirt felt oddly tight on him… and itchy.
