This choice: She started to grow taller • Go Back... It happened gradually at first; Melona felt as though she needed to pop every joint in her body. She stood up, trying to stretch, when she head the first crack coming from her knees.

She could hear it traveling throughout her body, a cacophony of snapping bones and stretching tissues. She half-expected to be in agony, but to her astonishment, it was..."pleasurable" wasn't the right word.
