Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 20:23:54 -0500 (CDT) From: Abner Whateley Subject: Small Changes TG Alfonso Dukamon hated A. Franky Midgill with a passion. He had only known of his existence for five short months, but during those months he had looked at the young man with nothing but loathing. Both were trumpeters in the Weldon City orchestra. An inconsequential little assemblage to be sure, but it played very large in the life of Mr. Dukamon. It was in fact the most important thing in his life. Al had started out in life with such promise, and I.Q. that read off the scale, He had quickly skipped from grade to grade, entering MIT at the age of 16 he had quickly outshone even the brightest there. In the five years he spent at MIT was estimated that he had absorbed more then four people put together. No doubt about it, he was one sharp cookie. Too bad that while his I.Q. was stratospheric his E.Q., or Emotional Quotient, took a dive in the other direction. In other words Alfonso couldn't get along with nobody, nohow noway! In the five years he spent at MIT he had brought two professor to nervous breakdowns and if not for his impressive six foot, four inch, 280 pound frame would have been beaten up any number of times. On graduation, an event that was followed by a near riotous party on the part of the faculty, Al found it more then a little hard to find work. Yes, the recruiters had been drawn to this record like flies. However after interviewing him company after company had passed, some had run. So for the next three years Alfonso moved from job to job never being able to stay more then a month or two at any. Until at last by some quirk of fate Alfonso was able to find himself as a member of the Weldon City philharmonic. Al it seemed did have one thing that calmed him. The trumpet. He had picked up this talent in-between inventing two new forms of Trans- dimensional physics, and learning every computer language known. For some reason some non-arrogant part of him was able to get enough control of his personality to become and remain a trumpet player with this minor orchestra. In his first three years there he had, through the use of his love of music overcome his hate of almost everything else. he was by the time Franky showed up a fairly large (if still unloved) fish in a distinctively small pond. He had moved up until he was ready to take his place as first trumpet. Ready until the ghastly boom was lowered that a brilliant, vastly more experienced and talented trumpeter would be coming in to fill that spot. one A. Franky Midgill. Surprisingly enough Al was able to keep himself under control. Inside he was white hot with rage. Al kept himself under control because he had an ace up his sleeve. Playing the trumpet in a minor orchestra was not the only thing that Alfonso had been occupying himself with for the last three years. He had also been putting the vast amount of knowledge he had to a most particular use. Alfonso Dukamon you see had been able to decipher the mathematical code which underlies what what we call reality, not only that, he further believed he could change it. For the next five months after the arrival of the hated Franky the only things that Al thought about and worked at were his music and his work on what he had started to call The Interface. At the end of those five month he now stood before it in his basement. The bizarre conglomomerate of hardware looked like a twisted offspring of a pipe-organ, satellite relay station and a tasteless hunk of art deco. The most recognizable part of the monstrosity was a computer that bulged out of a part of it. Al stepped up to the machine and turned it on. He had not tried the thing due to his arrogance, which would not let him doubt himself. His plain was to overwrite the existence of his rival and place himself in his situation as lead trumpeter, after that? Who knew, after that wrong had been set right there would be a lot of changes in the world, but first would be the setting to rights the one that had lived in his head for the last five months. The Interface was now giving off a satisfying hum, it's surface was alive with shifting rainbow globules that rose and fell back into it as if the metal hull were a lake and they were it's glowing misshapen fish. And he had not even fully engaged the thing! Throwing the final set of toggles Al brought it fully to life. The effect took him by surprise. Where before the Interface had been awash in strange multi-colored light, turned to full power it now became a living nova of them. Al jumped back, the world within 4 feet of the Interface took on the consistence of Jell-O caught in an earthquake, about 7.4 on the Richter scale Al guessed. Standing outside the four foot wall of rippling reality Alfonso could feel himself being buffeted by the force of the Interface. His overweening ego took this not as a sign to beware, but only as proof that not only would his creation succed but succeed even more grandly then he had anticipated. Taking a deep breath he stepped into the multi-chromic chaos that enveloped his Interface. Within the four-foot nimbus things only got worse, it took what seemed like 10 minutes to reach the keyboard, and having reached it he found himself buffeted and shaken by the warping field in which he stood. His plan had been to type in a leangthy command detailing what should happen regarding the fixation of his hated rivel and himself. He now knew this would be impossible, barely able to stand in the Interface's corona he hastily typed in "I become A. Franky Medgill and lead trumpet." After three tries he was able to hit the send command. There was a flash and a sound like a plunger the size of the average domed stadium being unstuck from a vinyl couch the size Texas. Alfonso was tossed backwards by the last of the warp para-mutations that he was experiencing, and landed sprawling on his back. Taking in a much needed breath he hauled himself to his feet. The basement was in disarray most of the contents having been knocked about by the force relased by the Interface, which now set silent, the main body having turned itself off once it's orders had been broadcast. Only the computer was still active and glowing. Alfonso started to walk over to the computer to see what the screen now read, but as soon as this thought came to him he felt a profound throb move through the whole of his body. "It's starting to work!" he shouted in triumph and glee. Forgetting about what the computer said he staggered to a corner of the basement where he had a full length mirror bolted to the wall. He looked to see if any changes had taken place, all the while imagining the look on Franky's face as the forces started to wipe him out of existence. As he stood looking his clothing melted off of him like cotton candy under a hard rain. Another, stronger throb movied through his body and he saw himself shrink from his 6' 4" hieght by at least 6 inchs. "Good enough" he thought to himself, "Midgill is only about 5'10" this is just as it should be." Another throb passed through his body and a ten more inches dropped from Al's frame as well as what looked like close to 80 or 90 pounds. "No! This is all wrong!" The perplexed man said "This is too much." As he made that proclamation outloud his voice cracked, by the end of the sentence `much came out in a high piping squeak. Deciding it was indeed time to check the computer. Al was stopped from this as a cascade of throbs hit him. Mute he watched his reflection as the changes now pored over him. Still more he shrank. Was he getting younger? He still looked the same age. At last he stopped in his downward spiral, he could not have been more then four feel he thought, then the throbbing increased three fold. Blinded with pain Alfonso stood shuddering, almost as much from fear as from pain. At last it ended. Opening his eyes Al saw a form that was completely changed from his old self. Before him stood a woman approximately 3 feet 10 inches tall, she appeared to be about 25 years of age and had coppery red hair in place of the dull brown that Al had formerly possessed. While small her breast were large for a woman her size, perhaps 30 C, her ass was wide and shapely giving her a compacked hourglass shape. Her hair spilled down to the middle of her back. As astonishing as Al found these changes the one he found most arresting was the face. The little woman's face was a living monument to lust, carnality and craving. "What is this?" al spoke in her now chirping voice. As soom as those words were spoken Al was dismayed as a vibration began to surround her. Unlike the throbbing this seemed to come from the outside. Shadows stared to play over her transformed body; these shadows however could be felt. Just as the Interface had dissolved his old clothing now it seemed to was replacing them. The shadows soon took solid form; Al could feel them gainling weight and tightening on him. By the end of this cycle of change Al was even more foreign to his original self. First the shadows had formed into underwear. Al found himself in black silk seamed hose held up by garters, her lush rump barley covered by high-cut black lace crotchless panties. Her almost whisper sheer bra held her soft breasts out like trophies. Then a corset had taken form, followed in quick secession by shoulder length leather gloves, a tight leather dress slit to the thigh, shiny high heels completed the shadows work. Taking her eyes off these new developments Alfonso Dukamon saw that he was now also wearing make-up that looked as if the goddess of all whores had applied it to her face. The final touch was her hair, which was now piled on her head in an elaborate style. "This won't do!" cried the new Al. "I must correct this." and so she started to do just that. Only before she could make it across the basement back to the Interface she faded from sight and found herself falling through what seemed like a long, long darkness. The old rage of Alfonso returned at the state of affairs he had gotten himself in, but he would fix it, he would as soon...and then a new sort of wave moved though her, this time in her mind. Shortly in a house 20 miles from Al's former home a new working girl appeared as a member of an exclusive whore house. After she appeared, reality shifted and all, including herself, knew her as Little Twist, the most imaginative and eccentric little hooker in Madam Belle's house. Meanwhile back at Alfonso's former house the computer still glowed. Looking at it we see his undoing. The buffeting of the warp field it seemed had made typing more then a little difficult. In trying to type "I become A. Franky Medgill and lead trumpet." What he had got was "i bbecomee A fReaky Midgil aand leed srumpit." The computers's automatic spell checker had interpreted this as `Make me a freaky midget and lewd strumpet.
