DNA Chapter 1

Jim yawned and glanced at the clock, It was almost 9.00 pm. Overtime was all well and good, but he would like to get home once in a while. Across the sterile room Dr Anne Chamberlain was finishing the latest batch of samples. She looked over her shoulder just in time to see Jim yawn again.

“Am I keeping you up, Jim?” she said, smiling.

“Sorry Anne, what exactly is that batch designed to do?”

A small grin slipped across her face. “It’s a secret, if it works you’ll be the first to know.”

Jim gave up, it was obvious she was not going to share her secret. Jim had a fair idea what it was, for months Dr Chamberlain had been working on a project to rewrite a persons’ DNA via a benign virus. The advantages were obvious, any defect in a persons DNA could be repaired. At the extreme end Dr Chamberlain hoped that the process could extend life, or at least remove the worst excesses of age, to help her Jim had been hired as an assistant six months ago.

“You go on home, Jim. I’m almost finished here.”

“Thanks doctor, see ya tomorrow.” Jim left the sterile area and went through decomtam.

Only when he had left the lab did Anne open up an airtight container. In the container was a small vial of blood. She opened the vial and added one drop of a colorless solution. She then sealed it and sent it upstairs for a chromozone analysis. She had already done one analysis on the blood, which had yielded a perfectly normal result for a human male. For the experiments both Anne and Jim had supplied small amounts of blood, it saved the hassle of obtaining some through official channels.

The result reached her desk next day just before lunch. It showed the chromozones of a human female, an exact match for Anne’s niece. Anne remembered the trouble she had to get through to get blood from her, eventually she persuaded her 17 year old niece to show her how she drew samples of blood from patients. Julie, the niece, was thinking of a medical career.

Anne leaned back in her chair and smiled, it WOULD work, not just the minor changes she had been working with till now, a full body change was possible. All she needed now was a test subject. She was under no illusion that she would be able to get one in an official program. But she had to test this now, and she had a test subject in mind. She realised there was no way a 25 year old male would allow this to be done to him. But, she thought, since the change takes only a few minutes I could test it on him and turn him back while he was unconcious. The only problem was how to knock him out.

“But its saturday Dr Chamberlain!” said Jim in an pained voice.

“Yes, I’m sorry Jim, but my experiment is at a critical point. I’ll show you what I’ve been up to the last few weeks.”

Just remember the overtime, Jim thought to himself. “Okay, I’ll be there in about half an hour.”

Jim walked through the deserted building up to the lab, put on the clean suit and entered the sterile room. Where was Anne? She was always here, when at work. As he looked around he started feeling faint, he tried to make it back to the exit but collapsed unconcious before he could get there.

Anne had watched him enter on the security cameras, and rushed up as soon as he entered the lab. She suited up and put a respirator on then entered the lab. Anne reached under the main bench and switched off the cylinder of anasthetic, then switched the ventilatos to full.

She rolled jim onto his side and pulled off his clean suit, underneath he was wearing his jeans and shirt. The anasthetic should give me ten minutes, she thought as she rolled up his sleeve and injected one of the two clear vials into his arm. The DNA virus was spread around his body and immediately set to work rewritting his genetic makeup.

In front of Anne’s astounded eyes, Jim’s features began to soften, his strong jaw covered in stubble became smooth and more feminine, his nose became petite and cute. His hair turned blonde and grew longer. In seconds his face was that of Anne’s niece, but some- thing else had grabbed Anne’s attention, his shirt had grown tight as two magnificent breasts had quickly pushed their way out of his now hairless chest. The shirt could contain them no longer and several buttons popped off to reveal two soft white round globes of flesh with prominent nipples.

Anne looked down at Jim’s jeans, they were much tighter around the hips but looser in the crotch, a quick feel confirmed that Jim was now a girl where it counted.

Anne realised that her time was running out and she would have to turn him back now. She pulled out the second vial and injected it into the petite feminine arm, so unlike the hairy muscular one he’d had a few minutes before.

She waited a few minutes but was shocked to realise he wasn’t changing back! What had gone wrong, she thought franticly. Suddenly the answer sprang into her mind, the first virus was resisting the second. It was a simple enough problem to get round but it would take time, more time than she had. She heard a small feminine groan, Jim was coming round!

Now what was she going to do!


——————————————————————————–

Jim slowly woke up. Where was he? Why did he feel so groggy? He managed to crack open his eyes and look up. A blur in front of his face resolved into Dr Anne Chamberlain looking very worried.

“Are you all right, Jim? Don’t speak, there was a cracked valve on a bottle of anaesthesia. I saw you go down as I got here, are you in any pain?”

Jim managed to shake his head feebly, he felt the rustle of something soft by his ears as he did so. Anne must have put a jumper or something under my head he thought. He felt slightly alarmed when he noticed Anne still looked very worried, she noticed him looking and managed a nervous smile.

Anne looked down at the beautiful young girl looking up at her. How am I going to explain what I did to him? He would be absolutely furious. An idea sprung into her head, if it was an accident then he wouldn’t be mad at her, she could turn him back and he wouldn’t tell the authorities. She slipped one of the empty vials in her hand on the floor and kneeled on it. Jim didn’t seem to hear the small crack as the vial shattered.

“Umm, Jim there is another problem. Relax it will be okay. Its the reason I asked you to come in today. I’ve made a major breakthrough in my DNA altering virus. I had prepared several vials which should allow a full body transformation.”

The realisation of what she had discovered caused Jim to forget his weak state. This is what Anne had been working towards for years, but why was she telling him this now while he was still barely conscious from the gas?

Anne continued. “When you fell over you hit the bench and smashed one of the vials.” She held up half a broken vial for Jim to see. “And it totally transformed you, don’t worry, its totally reversible.” I hope, she silently added.

Jim was suddenly fully awake. No wonder I feel so odd, he thought. Who am I now, well I can’t have transformed into myself and the only other person Anne is close to is her boyfriend, I must be him. No wonder she’s looking at me so oddly. Paul, her boyfriend was the same age as Anne, 40 and was very handsome from what Jim could remember of the few times they had met.

Anne swallowed, here comes the difficult bit, she thought.
