I yawn awake with an unintended belch. Admittedly amusing me for this dragging on day today.

Ever since I was laid off I had to stay home most of the time and make due with commissions, odd jobs and volunteer work. Thank god I got myself a Pretty good house that I've remodeled for a self sustainable lifestyle if worst comes to worst. And the barn and mini garden certainly helps.

I can't help but feel that its not enough though. I'm, Just not happy with my life I suppose. I heard my phone ring and Answer it.

"Yeah?" I answer. "Is this Ethan D Sanchez? I'm Stacy from the Otasanch corporation." The caller asks. "Yes this is him? Is this about the voluntary glowing hair and pigment experiment?" I ask. "No but if you are curious the results were a complete success. So you can collect your gift package now. But right now I'm calling for a new experiment. This is a voluntary plastic surgery experiment to test if we can add actual functioning extremities like a tail or tendril to a person. So far we have only two volunteers. And we need three to proceed with it. Would you like to join in on the project?" Stacy asks.

"How much money would I get in compensation?" I ask as I grab my cup of coffee. "Considering the dangers and risks. We're willing to pay one mill up front and three mill after."

I spit out my coffee in pure shock. "E-excuse me? Uhm. Wow. One Million up front. Are you sure you can afford this? Let alone the three million after?" I ask. "Yes. We just got an investment from a new backer. We have more money now to do our more risky experiments." Stacy explains.

I look at my Safe and Open it. Seeing only one measly ingot of gold I invested in. And No actual money. I then check my bank account and see I'm barely scraping by, With the envelopes on my current bills threatening to be revoked if i don't pay. I sigh and Take the offer.

"Alright. I'll take it." I say. "Great! The date to arrive is XX-XX this May. We'll see you soon!" Stacy says. I sigh as she hangs up.

"I feel like I just signed my death warrent now." I groan.

(Later)

I Come up in a cab to the Otasanch labs building with a Bag of my basics and my cat Yami in a Carrier. According to the details I'll be staying in a Specified room for a good while after the cosmetic surgery to watch for lingering side effects and health problems if there are any. We're allowed to bring one pet and basic things with us to keep ourselves entertained like a phone or book.

I Head in and Check in at the front desk. Also receiving my gift bag of the glowing hair and pigment prducts I was promised. Dark blue hair dye mostly. That was the only thing I mainly liked. Anyways I take my stuff and Head to my designated room. There I Unpack and Set out my clothes for the coming days. I then set my bag to the side to grab the hair dye and Begin dying my hair.

"Alright Ethan. Now that you have read the procedures and such. Do you still wish to commit to this potentially life changing surgery?" The Head doctor asks. "Yes. It would be pretty cool to have a Tail to be honest." I say.

"Okay then. Please sign this waiver here and we can begin." The doctor says. I take the clipboard and Sign to where he points at. After that I'm led to a room to wash myself down and Decontaminate myself and Change into a Medical robe after I'm done.

I lay Face down on the medical bed and Lest the anesthesia kick in.

Hopefully nothing will go wrong.

(Later)

I Slowly woke up feeling refreshed. I was on my side and When I got up I immediately Hissed in pain when i felt something on me move. I lay back down and adjust my body to see what it was and say a wide base for a tail stitched onto me. And what's more. It Twitched.

"Ah you're awake. Sorry that you had to wake up during the integration period. The Tail's muscles are currently Adding themselves into your nervous system. You'll be out of bed soon but for now you'll need to stay there." The doctor says as he Threw away his bloodied medical gear.

"Ah. How are the other volunteers doing?" I ask. "Each are doing fine and well. When you head back to your room I want you to document how your tail reacts and if there is anything we should know about. And As we promised you are now paid a total of Four million dollars." The doctor says.

"Sweet. Hey, Mind getting my back and Phone on the chair over there. I got some bills to finally pay." I ask. "Sure. Here." The doctor says. I smike and take them. I open my bag and what surprised me is that the doll I made was in the bag. "How'd you get in here?" I ask myself as I dig through my bag for my most urgent of bills.

I felt a shiver and just as it came it was gone. I shrug it off as i Begin calling my providers.

"Okay what the hell?" I ask as i looked at my new tail. Last I checked the thing was bald. Now its all furry and a bit fluffy. But what really drew my attention was a flat Axe head shaped appendage on the tip. It also had a Hole in it as well for some reason. "Hmm. This is concerning but as for your health you should be fine. I'll have to keep watch over you for any new develepments but other than that you should be fine." The doctor tells me.

"If you say so." I say.

"We'll let you know about anything as soon as posible. Is there anything you wish to request for while you're here?" The doctor asks. "A Radio, GameCube Console, A Wiimote Nunchuck, a Fliphone with a camera and some headphone with good speakers and a wire frame. I got the tools to tinker with them and I figured I might as well tinker away if i'm gonna be here a while." I tell him. He nods and heads out. "Oh and a case of blank disks that can fit in the GameCube." I add.

I sit down onto the bed and notice the discomfort from before was gone. And my tail felt natural to move around and use. Its weird.

I have a feeling this isn't gonna be the last of the weirdness to come.

And Scene.
