Mark didn't want to be there. In fact, he never even had a desire whatsoever to check out a place like Club Spectrum. The only reason he was there tonight was because of a dare. His friends Simon and Andy (who were, like him, freshmen at the local college) bet that he wouldn't go in here and give the very-obvious drag queen dancing up on stage a dollar. Well, Mark never backed down from a challenge, and well, this seemed like an easy one. Sure, it was embarrassing, but it wasn't difficult or time-consuming. Just in and out, that's all it would take.
Little did he know, though, taking this bet would completely change his life. Because when he accidentally touched Anita's "fake" breast, he contracted the CTS virus. And soon, like Anita, he would look and act just like a drag queen.
As he walked towards his friends at the entrance (they had to come in too, to confirm that he did what they had bet), he felt a little woozy. He couldn't tell yet, but already his clothing began to change and some make-up began to appear on his face.
Andy nearly did a double take. Was it just the lighting in the room, or was Mark wearing eyeliner?
"Come on, let's get out of this place," Mark said, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible, not even realizing that he might be back at some point.
