meteor77 by meteorseventyseven@yahoo.com Meteor 77 was noted just outside of earth's atmosphere by the American government. It was the size of Manhattan Island, and was metallic in nature. The president was notified, and he ordered that a nuclear armed rocket be aimed at the meteor to blow it up. His order was followed and the meteor was destroyed just as it entered Earth's atmosphere. Humanity had been saved. The meteor disintegrated into countless little fragments, and showered all over the Earth. What had been overlooked however, had been the nature of the metallic meteor. It had been radioactive in nature, and the level of radioactivity increased on the Earth. Consequently, humans all over were exposed to this increased levels of radiation. The levels of increased radiation were not high enough to cause cancer, but they were still high enough to cause other changes in humans. During the first year, no visible changes were noted in humans. However, changes were happening at microscopic levels. Specifically, the X chromosomes of humans started to mutate and change more rapidly. This in turn caused increased levels of certain enzymes and proteins in the human body, and also the production of new proteins and enzymes. Given that men had only one X chromosome, the increased levels of enzymes and proteins in them were not high enough for any change. The same held true for the new proteins and enzymes. For women however, it was a completely different story. Women had always had two X chromosomes, and this caused the increased levels of proteins and enzymes to be much higher in their bodies, and for the new proteins and enzymes as well. Roughly a year to the day that the meteor had been destroyed, women started to notice small changes, both in their bodies, and in the way they felt. The meteor had been destroyed roughly over Rio in Brazil as it had entered the Earth's atmosphere, and so the levels of radiation were the highest over that city. This is were women noticed the changes first, before anywhere else on Earth. Fernanda was among the first women in Rio to notice changes in her body. She was a 24 year old model, who was beginning to make a name for herself. She had to work very hard to keep her weight at 125 pounds, given her height of 5' 10". Fernanda was a very emotional girl, with a hot temper. The men that she dated usually found out about this the hard way. On one Monday morning, Fernanda got up at the usual time, and got ready for her modelling assignment. She put on her shoes and clothes, and drove to work. She could tell that something wasn't right, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. When it was her turn to go on the runway, she put on the clothes and shoes that were given to her. The clothes and the shoes seemed somewhat tighter than usual, but she didn't give it much thought, as she often had to wear tight-fitting things. She had a one month vacation until her next modelling assignment, and she thought about watching her diet and losing some weight. This caused her to be hungry most of the time, and it effected her already hot temper. One night, when she was out on a date with a guy, she lost her temper and slapped the guy. Without saying a word, she got up and left. She drove home fuming, and decided to take a shower to cool off. She had a habit of checking her weight sometimes after showering. That night, when she got on the scale, it read 130 pounds. She screamed in frustration, wondering how she could have gained weight after dieting. When she took off her bath robe and put on her pajamas, they seemed shorter than normal. Alarmed, she took out a tape measure and measured her height against the wall. She now stood at 5' 11". Over the course of the past month, she had gained 5 pounds, and grown an inch. Although somewhat alarmed, she comforted herself, saying that maybe people could still grow an inch or two in their early twenties. With regards to her weight gain, she couldn't explain it, but given that it was only five pounds, she decided not to worry about any more. Fernanda showed up to her next modelling assignment the next day. On her way to work, her tight shoes and clothes were getting on her nerves. When she was handed the clothes she was supposed to wear, the top seemed especially tight on her. She told the designer about it, but he brushed it off and said that the top would hold. After putting on the three inch heels she was given, and fixing her hair in a bun, she walked down the runway. Halfway through, she could feel that the fabric of her top was beginning to give, and all of a sudden there was this tearing sound, and her top tore in half and flew off her chest, and her magnificent breasts burst into view. Turning red with embarrassment, Fernanda covered her breasts with her hands and walked backstage. The designer of the dress was now fuming with anger, and gave Fernanda a piece of his mind. Being only 5' 4" tall, he had to look upwards into Fernanda's face as he delivered his lecture to her. He told her that she needed to watch her weight more carefully, and until further notice he no longer needed her services. Once again Fernanda's hot temper got the best of her. Turning red once more, she flew into a rage and slapped the designer across the face and screamed : "listen you little midget !! This is entirely your fault !! I specifically told you that this damn top was too tight, but you wouldn't listen !! The entire audience saw my breasts in full view !! The hell with you and your stupid dresses !! I don't need you assignments !! I quit !!" She slapped the designer across the other cheek for good measure, turned around and took her leave. As she was leaving she heard the designer scream : "listen you crazy Amazon !! you just committed career suicide !! You will never get another modelling assignment, not as long as I am alive !!"
