What's next?

Bushy or clean?

“Would you rather be bushy or clean?”

At this point, Matt was not as scarred anymore as he had been when he got the first cards. By now, he knew he could not escaped or avoid what the card has planned for him, so he simply accepted it.

“Clean”, he said out loud even though nobody was there to hear it, but it gave him a feeling that he had at least some control left.

The card vanishes and a comfortable warmth spreads over his body followed by a tingle. Matt could not resist but to start scratching his arms. With each scratch he could see his body hair falling out. It started where he scratched his arms but rapidly crawled up towards his torso and then down his body. After only a minute nearly his complete body was void of any body hair, expect for his eyelashes, brows and head hair.

“Well that saves money on razors”, Matt ironically said to himself. But on the other hand, he didn’t wanna know how he would have looked liked if he had chosen the alternative. He continued drying himself, which was easier said than done as he had to step back into his high heels as soon as he left the shower. He put on his feminin underwear and some of his usual clothes and walked into his kitchen.

Taylor wanted to pick him up and accompany him to the library. Hopefully they would be able to find some useful information, before this damned magic would do even more serious harm to him. Up to this point his changes were significant, but nothing he could not handle. Matt was afraid though, that this would change.

Before he could delve deeper into what could be more serious changes he heard a knock on the door. Taylor arrived as promised. Matt got up and slowly walked towards his door to open it.

“Morning, early bird gets the worm! Did you shave?”, Taylor greeted him full of energy. He seems motivated to get go work.

“Involuntary”, Matt answered and backed up his fake smile by sliding up the sleeve of his shirt, showing Taylor his hairless arm.

Taylor nodded knowingly.

“Well, another reason to get to work. I also found a couple of other books that might help as well. It’s gonna be a fun day of reading.”

Matt was forcing himself to not get his hopes high, even though he would like to. But he was sure that he would encounter more obstacles on the way. Just reading the right book is just to simple. Of course this was also the perfect moment for a new card to appear by falling off his jacket as he put it on. And again his could read the cursed words…

“Would you rather…”
