After Chris opened the package, the first thing he saw was the laminated slip of paper. He picked it up and read it:
LIFE TOO BORING FOR YOU? BEHOLD - TRANSFORMATION SPRAYS - INTRODUCTORY SUPPLY. CHANGE THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AS YOU SEE FIT AND ADD A LITTLE SPICE TO YOUR LIFE.
"Transformation sprays? What the hell?" Chris muttered. He continued reading, seeing something about how the sprays change people both physically and mentally. At the bottom of the slip of paper was a website address. It stated that specialty spray supplies could be ordered online and it reminded that this particular supply was introductory. Some of the specialty supplies that were listed included ANIMAL TRANSFORMATIONS, CLIQUE TRANSFORMATIONS, EROTIC TRANSFORMATIONS, etc.
Chris, thinking that this was someone's idea of a joke, chuckled a bit to himself. If only he could change people anyway he liked.
He picked up the contents of the package, pausing for a moment to wipe the foam peanuts away that had stuck to it. He looked at it for a moment, oddly. It was a relatively small transparent case containing several small black cylinders. He opened the case and picked up one of the cylinders. They were spray canisters. And each one had a different label. He looked closely at the one he was holding. This one's label was TIMID. He looked at another one: HAPPY. And another one: AGGRESSIVE. But they weren't all feelings or moods. There were others, like SEXY, SHORT, TALL, BLOND, BRUNETTE, FAT, THIN. There were even ones that he figured were supposed to be racial attributes, like IVORY, EBONY, ORIENTAL, etc. There must have been dozens of these small spray canisters. Someone obviously put a lot of work into this joke. He wondered who could have done something like this. There was no indication on the package.
Chris put the TIMID spray back and picked up the one labeled SEXY. A lot of people around here desperately needed that one. He chuckled again. If only this weren't a joke.
Not really watching what he was doing (and why should he - he thought the sprays were part of an elaborate joke), Chris pressed down on the small spray canister and some of the chemical shot out ... hitting someone nearby.
