Jackie Keys was her name. She was 25 years old, a bit out of shape, and stuck at a job she really never wanted but seemed to be stuck at.
She had a promising future back in college, shooting for the stars by playing for the volleyball team like she had in high school. She had the height for it, seeing as she was just shy of six feet tall, but she lacked the motivation. She was too prone to slacking off, sleeping in, and eating a bit too much. Her freshman 15 ended up being a freshman 30, and she just gave up after the first two semesters. She got a two year degree and dropped out, taking her lack of knowledge into a 9-5 that paid the bills but killed her motivation to try anything else.
After years of monotony and dead dreams, this pill seemed like it may change things for the better. For all she knew, Jackie could become an athlete again and shoot for the big leagues. Was it cheating? Yes. Did she care? Nope!
She took the pill in that odd, beige room, half expecting for her fat to burn away and for her to be left with a six pack immediately, but of course, maybe that was a bit much. She was led out of the building by an assistant, and then she was gone. She was assured that she would be contacted weekly and she had to track her own measurements daily. Worked for her!
A short drive later and she was back to her apartment, settling in on her couch as she turned on a show to enjoy.
