The transformation took place within the span of a bright flash of light. It stung like a high-voltage electric shock, but no pain lingered. Nothing was left of Bill except memory; even his eyeglasses were gone. The image that Bill had grown up with was replaced in an instant with that of a fabulously gorgeous Middle Eastern woman, whose light bronze complexion was soft and flawless. Her eyes were bright emerald green, and her long dark hair glistened with golden overtones. Her muscles were smooth and well-formed; though she actually looked stronger than Bill, her physique was far more feminine than any woman bodybuilder. Even her shadow on the floor looked great.
