In the hall Jon met his mother Linda which had an apprehensive look and a letter in her hand, he noticed that there was the government stamp on it. “Jon, I would have really appreciated if you have let us know in advance about your life decisions,” she said and after a quick breath, she continued, “Don’t get me wrong I am happy to have such a sensitive son, your choice is so generous towards the humanity , but I honestly think you're too young. I would have preferred to talk about it together.”
Puzzled Jon looked at her, about what important decision did she speak? In addition, why did Jon see a government signature on the letter? It was surely because of your yesterday’s wish to make something interesting happen.
He couldn’t think about it any longer, because his Mother gave him a strong hug and said “Two man are already downstairs, they have come to take you”. Jon couldn’t say anything while his mother literally dragged him downstairs. There he could see two man in suite, like if they were from security or secret office. Did he applied to become a secret agent he thought?
Curious Jon decided to go with the flow, certainly up to now the day had proved interesting. The stone kept its word. Without many pleasantries the two agents escorted him to a service car and without further pleasantries they left. Only once in the car did Jon realize he had left the stone at home!
The two agents didn't really want to talk, and the two-hour journey was extraordinarily quiet. Finally, Jon saw where they were taking him, it was a large government building and without many pleasantries he was left alone inside a room.
He waited just a few minutes, when a young woman in her mid-thirties and wearing a lab coat appeared. She introduced herself as Miss Fine, researcher for the new government project called "Body Part Morphing and Support". She handed him a glass of water and a pill, saying, "Standard procedure, I need you to ingest this antiseptic before we can start."
It didn't seem like he could do much else but see what his wish would lead him to, so he took the pill and swallowed it. Miss Fine smiled and continued with her explanation: "First of all Jon, I want to thank you for joining the program as a donor. You know you are our youngest candidate. In a few hours we will start the procedure by which we will transform your body in a single part of a human body and connect it permanently to another person. This scientific revolution will allow many sterile people, who have suffered amputations from cancer or with erectile dysfunction to find a new body part. You will become a kind of symbiont therefore you will experience new sensations, manage some function of the body part and some lucky ones even communicate with their host. You will live a new long life, at least long as your host."
Jon was speechless, but what the hell of wish was this? He had to get out of here as soon as possible, but suddenly he felt a sense of disorientation that made him unable to express himself. Miss Fine saw it immediately and made him sit in a chair. "I'm sorry Jon, sometimes the antiseptic creates a kind of numbness, but don't worry I have all the other details and instructions written on your application form." She took it in her hand and continued reading it "I see that as a reason to become a donor you have written that you do not want to have worries in life, of not having to think about your future anymore and been taken care of. Very well, given your young age I have just the right body part and host. You will be…"
