You desperately wish that she would calm down and that nobody would notice this scene. You feel a powerful burning sensation in your chest. It is powerful but it doesn't hurt. Suddenly she calms down and resumes eating her sandwich.
The girl that was working at the deli had come out to see what was wrong. She walked up to the woman and stopped dead in her tracks. She looked confused for a minute.
"Is something the matter?" She asks.
The woman who has your arm instead of her leg looks confused for a minute. "I ... " she starts but then trails off. "I am OK," she finally says. Neither really seems convinced but the cashier tentatively leaves.
"Weird," you mutter. You are a bit freaked out yourself. You look back over at your right arm which is now a female leg. You want your arm back but you are also curious. You somehow just know that whatever that cloud was, it is with you now, inside you. You also know that it is responsible for this. You also seem to be able to influence it.
With a combination of curiosity and impulse, you decide to see if you can control it again. You concentrate on swapping your own right leg for your right arm. You also decide to try to make it so that the woman doesn't notice. You aren't sure how much you can control this thing but you are determined to find out.
You feel the power surging inside of you and a twisting and tugging sensation on your right leg. It is nearly identical to the sensations that you felt earlier. You are a little bit less freaked out this time. You notice that the woman is calmly sitting there eating her sandwich through the whole thing.
You look down at your right leg. In nearly an instant it is replaced by your right arm. You see that shirt sleeve has merged with your jeans. You look up and see that the woman now has your right leg and is more or less normal. it looks funny and you almost laugh.
Your nose itches and you instinctively try to scratch it with your right hand. Instead you bump your nose with the heel of the foot that is now your right hand.
"Weird," you mutter. You decide that while interesting, you want to have an arm again. On an impulse you will that your arm leg and leg arm would switch places covertly. You feel the power surging and your body and your arm and leg switch places. When you are done you and the woman are basically both normal but you each have each others right leg.
You stand up and find that your right leg is shorter. You are no longer worried as you are fairly certain that you can control this. You decide to test out how oblivious people are. You get up and walk right toward the woman.
"Hey, I like your shoes," you say to her casually.
She looks at you like you are a bit of a creep. Then she looks down at your feet. You have her right leg and you replaced her dress shoe on your foot before walking over. She has your right leg so you have the same mismatched shoes. "Thanks," she finally says. She is in no mood for conversation but you have what you needed. She is completely unaware that anything is wrong.
