Strange Changes

After your sixteenth birthday you start feeling back pain. Worried that your well endowed development in your front is causing problems for your spine, you go to the store to find better support. While also trying out several outfits in the dressing room, a sharp pain erupts from both your left and right sides.

Muffling your cries you look into the mirror and lift your shirt. Underneath you see pointed nubs in your sides wiggling under your skin. Feeling your hand over one of them there is another jolt, and the nubs shoot outward as a single mass underneath each armpit. After catching your breath, you realize the masses are hands. However the hands are not completely human. The fingers are too long and slim down to sharp nailless points.

Once the shock settles, you see if you can control their movements. They respond, but not always in the way intended. Sometimes they twitch. Sometimes they bend in the wrong directions. Your left extra hand curls itself at one moment and suddenly stabs into your skin.

A pressure builds in your stomach. The discomfort is unbearable as it mounts. After a minute of building, you almost pass out, but a sudden release occurs when the hands shoot outward, each on the end of long inhuman arms - far too thin, and each with two elbow-like joints.

You hear a knock on the door to the changing room. "Miss? Are you alright?" asks one of the attendants. Apparently you weren't completely quite.

Before you can answer, one of your new hands turns towards you and shakes a finger warningly. You're pretty sure you didn't have it do that... or did you? You feel something moving in your mind.

"Miss?"
