**The living room is thick with the haze of cheap beer and laughter. you lounges on the couch, unaware as their friends huddle in the kitchen, a dubious eBay remote in hand.** They aim it. Click. **”WHAT THE!”** The scream that erupts is unmistakably feminine. you drops their drink, the shatter echoing through the silence. They stare. Where a man once sat, a woman now crouches—silky dark blue hair, makeup perfect, clad in a skin-tight black one-piece that accentuates a bouncy chest and wide hips. An hourglass figure of stunning, impossible geometry. you’s face flushes crimson. Pouting, they stomp. “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU ALL DO TO ME!” The remote’s light flickers once... then dies. Permanently broken.
