When I came too I realised that my family were all tied up with me, along with Karyn. There was a nurse nearby with a table of syringes and other medical equipment. DeMorrell was holding the stone. "Apart from my men and Joan here, you are the only ones that know about the stone. You are the only people that could possibly prevent me from using the stone for my own ends..." I didn't know where this was leading but I didn't like it. "And I really haven't tested the stone to it's complete limits yet. Personally I wish to regain my youth and perhaps alter my looks to make myself more handsome. But I'm hesitant to use the stone in such a manner without first testing it and then carrying out medical tests to make sure that the changes are problem free. I also want to know what genetic changes occur from a wish... for example if I wish you to become younger will the cells become younger or remain old. What will the mental effects be. And if I wish one of you to be female does it change you on a cellular level."
This guy was creeping me out.
"Now since I've already taken genetic samples..." he turned on his tape recorder on his desk then turned to Karyn "I wish you were young, eight years old in fact." Karyn shrunk to the size of a young prepubescent child, breasts shrinking as well. Apparently her large breasts would only grow large when puberty hit. The nurse proceeded to take a blood sample. Then DeMorrell turned to me.

I slipped my arms from the ropes. Karyn did as well.
"I wish..." DeMorrell started.
I reached forward to stop him. I was not going to be in time. My mum was going to become...
