You are sitting in your seat wondering what this means. You are mainly just afraid. You are afraid that you'll have a leg for an arm for the rest of your life or worse, that you'll be blamed for this and hauled away to rot in some lab somewhere. As your mind is racing through these scenarios someone approaches you.
"Are you OK," you hear a tentative voice ask you. You look up to see the girl that took your order earlier. She saw the commotion and came in to investigate. She has a look of concern and uncertainty on her face.
"I ... don't know," you stammer. Even though you think you know how this happened it doesn't mean that you aren't scared and confused. She takes that at face value and makes her way over to the woman. The woman is in hysterics and tries to stand up. She didn't have a right leg however and flopped to the ground.
By now several more customers enter the deli. They stop dead in their tracks when they see what is going on inside. One man just turns and leaves when he sees the leg protruding from your shoulder. "What is wrong with his arm?" a little girl asks her mom. Another man opens his cell phone and makes a call. You aren't sure what to do and everyone is staring at you.
Just then the woman stands up with the deli worker's help. She hops on her one remaining leg and takes a seat. Most people stare at her instead of you. You stare at the woman again. You take a bit of pity on her as you know that you are at least in part to blame. You wish to yourself that she wasn't so mismatched and had two legs under her again. You immediately feel the power surging up within your body again. You can feel it flowing and working on something but you aren't sure what.
You hear a man gasp behind you and then a thump. When you turn around you see that he has fallen to the ground and has an arm, your arm, where his right leg should be. You look over at the woman and she has the Man's trousers joined on the right side with her skirt. She looks down with a mixture of delight and shock. Her right leg is now longer than her left. She and the man scream in unison. Everyone else starts freaking out. It is now quite noisy in here. Many people run out the door fearing that they'll also get caught up in the strangeness.
You realize that this is now the second time you've had an absent thought that caused a swap like this. It didn't register at the time but you'd wished that you could touche one of her legs before the swap occurred. Now you most certainly could. Then you longed for the woman to have two legs again, you just weren't specific as to which two.
You look at your right arm/leg again. On a strange impulse that you don't understand you swap your left arm for the woman's left leg. You mainly wanted to see if it would work. Sure enough, acting on the mere desire, you feel the power surge up inside you once again. In nearly an instant your left arm is now a gorgeous leg that matches your right. You conclude that your desires are acted upon by this entity that you are host to. If you aren't specific or are absently thinking about things then the results might not be so predictable. You go ahead and swap your left arm for the Man's left leg so that the woman has two legs under her, they just aren't hers.
Everyone is looking at those two so you bend down and walk on all fours. You think it is kind of strange. A few people notice you and stare. There is a lot of commotion but most people have just left.
