Bill woke up and started his regular work day routine, feeling the peace and tranquility of a settled life with no pressing concerns. He was a normal 40 year old man with a wife and two kids, living in a big enough house and having a comfortable administrative job in the a small chemical production company. Bill took a shower and gave a small smile at the mirror, feeling he made the right choices in life.
At first glance you would never guess Bill had a boring office job thanks to his frame, he was blessed with a 6'3'' body with a naturally muscular build that made everyone think he worked on something that made use of his physical assets, like a bodybuilder or a security guard, but he never had the inclination or the required personality traits for such tasks. When he was younger he got offers and scholarships thanks to his body, but it soon became clear to him such a life wasn't appealing to him and he preferred something more relaxed, with more traditional goals in mind. That said, he was still proud and grateful for a body that was considered conventionally attractive, as it allowed him when he was studying at university to meet the girl that would become his wife and opened doors and opportunities in other areas, like the scholarships that allowed him to finish his studies and the positive first impression that allowed him to ace the interview to get his current job.
At the office he looked a bit out of place among the engineers and researchers, but with his affable nature it took him little time to make friends and enjoy not only how he could fool outsiders into thinking he was blessed with both brains and brawn, but also how he could help with little menial things like carrying heavy objects and organizing the shelves at the top in exchange for some curious stories and gossip about experiments gone wrong or how some of the projects the company was development could be world changing. Bill thought the scientists were probably exaggerating, but it was still fun to listen even if he didn't understand a lot about it.
"Hi Bill, could you help me sorting out some equipment today?" Mary, a petite scientist with black hair and glasses, came to his desk with the request. Bill accepted and after finishing what he was doing he went to help her.
"Hmm, these bottles have something on it, nothing dangerous right?" Bill asked. The liquid looked completely harmless but he knew it wasn't uncommon and asked for reassurance just in case.
"Oh? Yeah don't worry, we didn't achieve anything with that in the end" Mary told him and he nodded, trusting in his coworker.
"That's a shame. What was it for anyway?"
"What's the tag? Let me check.. ohh right, the holy grail" Mary chuckled
"Baldness?"
"Try again"
"Weight loss?"
"Nope"
"I give up then" Bill said with a grunt as he moved another heavy box and Mary giggled
"Fair, it was a difficult one. It was growth"
"Growth? as in getting taller? Oh dammit" Bill said after feeling one of the bottles dropped the liquid and some of it splashed on his hand. Fortunately for him Mary was right, absolutely nothing happened so he just took a tissue and cleaned it as if it was water, even if he knew he should be more careful than that he trusted Mary and was intrigued with what she meant
"Not really, like asset growing. You know, what people get plastic surgeries for" Mary said avoiding to mention the words that mattered, it took Bill a bit to get it.
"Well you can do everything with.. ohh. Wow, you can really do that?" Bill said amazed as he finished the work
"Clearly not..or at least not for this one, it was focused on just women but no change was ever noticed in the trials so the idea was discarded. There are other holy grails out there after all" Mary shrugged
Bill nodded and felt a weird tingling within his body that he couldn't explain. It wasn't harmful, but was something he never experienced before.
What happens next?
