Awakenings

You awaken way too early, the room still dark and silent. The entire bed is drenched in sweat and your sheets stick to you as if you were running through the rain. The smell from the sheets is rancid and awful. Not only that, but your skin itches like crazy.

You sit up, looking at the clock beside your bed. It reads 4:30 AM. Too early.

Why am I awake at this time? What is wrong with me?

You take a deep breath, trying to calm yourself. You feel so hot. Itchy. Like you're covered with ants.

As soon as you stand up, the air feels cold against your sweaty skin, making you shiver uncontrollably. The smell clings to you, making it hard to breathe as you move through the darkness of the house towards the bathroom.

The bathroom lights flick on as you approach, illuminating a small white cube with a mirror. The mirror reflects the image of you standing there, your skin shining with perspiration, or something similar to it. There's no way that's just sweat.

You step inside the shower, turning the water on as hot as it will go. The heat instantly soothes your skin and relaxes you, easing the itchiness of your body. You feel your muscles slowly unwind as you scrub yourself clean, rinsing away all the filth. When you're done, you reach for the shampoo and soap, rubbing them into your hair until they're lathery and foamy. You rinse it all out with warm water and then grab the body wash, pouring some into your palm and massaging it into your skin as well.

After 15 minutes, you're feeling much better and turn off the shower. You dry yourself with the towel and take another moment to look at yourself in the mirror. The issue with your pimples seems to be gone, for now at least. The skin on your face seems clean and healthy, the pores clean and unclogged. As you're prodding your face with your fingers, your gaze falls onto your hands - and you notice that there is no hair standing on the back of them anymore.

Within short order, you realize that your entire body from the neck down is devoid of any body hair! Even your beard, which usually grows a stubble in a day or two, is nowhere to be seen. Your armpits are smooth and clean, the pubic hair has vanished, your legs are hairless as well, and your ass is completely smooth.

It feels weird, having no hair except on the top of your head, but not in a bad way. In fact, it makes you feel very feminine, even more so than you already felt. You can't help but stare at your reflection in the mirror, admiring how beautiful you look. It's almost like you have a different body entirely. You can't help but feel incredibly sexy. It's a heady sensation, one that you know will probably fade away once the novelty wears off. But for now, it's exhilarating.

Just as you're leaving the bathroom, you notice how a nude, glistening and terribly stinking mother of yours sprints towards the bathroom door. She is past you in an instant, heading straight towards the shower.

Huh?
