You woke with a start. From a dream that you couldn't quite remember. Like a cruel game, it slipped further and further away the harder you tried.
"Oh well."
As you began to turn to get out of bed, you noticed a strong erection barely fitting in your boxers.
"Well, whatever the dream was, it must have been a good one."
Taking your cock into your hand, you laid back and stroked yourself lightly, not wanting to waste the feeling. But, as you started pulling off your underwear, you noticed the time.
"Eight already?! I can't be late!"
You rushed to get ready. Skipping the shower and shave, there was only enough time to wet your hair, put on a fresh shirt, and head out. Your appointment was within walking distance, but a car would have eased the burden had it not been in the shop. After two blocks of half running, you started checking building numbers.
"Stupid car,,," You growled as your legs started to burn.
Stopping in front of a clinic, you double checked the flyer you had in your pocket. This had to be the place. It was an unmarked, uninteresting looking building. But, you walked inside and looked around to see the waiting area was packed. The air was thick and didn't help the sudden attack of claustrophobia you felt coming on. You were about to call it a day until you heard a friendly "Ahem" behind you.
Looking toward the sound you saw a strikingly beautiful young woman with large enchanting eyes. She was wearing a red sweater and a short skirt, smiling, pointing to the table next to her. Realizing that you were staring awkwardly, you navigated to the desk and quickly saw a sign-in sheet. Good thing you rushed to find the place... albeit late... you took the last spot for walk-in volunteers.
"Well that was close..." you said, but no one else responded.
You looked around the room for somewhere to sit, but the room was filled to capacity. Some people were even standing. Then you heard a familiar sound.
"Ahem."
When you looked, the same young woman, still smiling, moved a jacket and purse off of the seat next to her.
"Thank you, I had a pretty rough morning..." You explained, as you sat.
"You seemed pretty lost." She giggled.
"How did you hear about this place?"
"A flyer, it sounded like easy money."
"You're getting paid?!" You joked.
"Oh no... I just smuggle out doughnuts and coffee." She winked.
Just as you were thinking of something clever to say a loud woman's voice interrupted the quiet waiting room area.
"Hello everyone, thank you all for coming. My name is Dr. Chance. Can we please have all male volunteers through the door on the left, and ladies to the right. We will begin shortly."
The young woman turned to you and frowned, then smiled again.
"Good luck! I hope you don't grow too many tentacles." She joked. "I'm Chrystal by the way."
got up and disappearing through the female door. She had a 'go get 'em' attitude in her demeanor and so it made sense she was hoping to be first in line. You kicked yourself for not getting her number, and then hurried to be first in your own room.
As you passed through the door, a number of chairs were placed against a wall in the small room. After a few minutes re-reading the flyer and really thinking about what you were volunteering for... and what Chrystal had volunteered for, Dr. Chance entered the room.
"Thank you all again for being here. Only one will be selected for the beta trials after a few tests and measurements are taken. We will be taking measurements and performing a few tests. But you will know today if you are selected."
After being poked and prodded for half an hour... being sent back into the waiting room... and then going back in for more tests... only you and one other male remained. Then after the weigh-in they asked the other man to leave. Score!
"It seems you are the most suited for our experiment." Dr. Chance said, flicking through papers on her clipboard. "Now what we are testing is physical augmentation. We are trying to enhance things like hearing, eyesight, reflexes, and even sex drive though gene therapy. We've made some breakthrough discoveries in cross-gene manipulation. Do you have any questions so far?"
"So... You're gonna turn me into a horny Spider-Man?" You say, half joking.
"Not that extreme." She chuckled. "But something like a spider has genes ill-suited for humans. So we are using felines. Their genes are remarkably compatible." She explained.
"Cats? How dramatic a change should I be expecting? whiskers?"
"These are our first human trials, so we are going to go easy you." she said, smiling and making notes.
"I think I'm ready." You said, shrugging. "What's the worts that could happen? Nine lives?"
You signed a few waivers, and Dr. Chance gave you an injection. It was pretty painless, but you certainly started feeling the effects of the drug. After a few minutes you noticed a few changes, noises being louder, A stronger sense of smell. Your eyes felt strange. Everything was brighter. You were being observed constantly. Doctors and pharmacists coming in and re-taking your vitals, asking questions, and using all kinds of expensive medical gadgets to measure you. Then, it was finally over.
"Thank you for your time. Please return next week for a follow up. If anything changes, or you feel yourself becoming sick please call this number." She handed you a card. "Please see the receptionist about your payment."
As you found your way back to the initial reception area, it was a empty. A vast contrast from the sardine-like atmosphere from before. Walking to the receptionist, you place your hand on the table.
"I was told to ask you about payment?"
"Yes, one moment."
She shuffled out of her chair and hurried to the back room. Standing there for a few minutes, you became impatient and started strumming your fingers on the desk.
