| Summary, etc. | Excerpt of The Body Institute by Carol Riggs<br/>Five more reps, and I should be done with this body for<br/>good.<br/><br/>I pull the weight bar down to my chest, working my<br/>biceps. Here I am, flat on my back once more, communing<br/>with my old buddy the Fluid Resistance Machine.<br/><br/>Twenty-six…twenty-seven.<br/><br/>Man, I can’t wait to get back into my own body and be<br/>myself again. Hanging out with my friends, spending time<br/>with my family. Dancing. Urban paintballing. Messing<br/>around with kinetics experiments at the Catalyst Club.<br/><br/>Out of the corner of my eye, I catch the jog-pump-stride<br/>of other Reducers toning and slimming. Hard workers,<br/>these ladies: 100 percent keyed in to their jobs. Above<br/>us on the third floor, I’m sure a bunch of men are<br/>exercising just as hard in their own gym.<br/><br/>A chirp signals the end of my programmed reps. I ditch<br/>the machine and do cool-down stretches while it resets<br/>for the next victim, then take a brisk shower and head to<br/>the first floor for my weigh-in.<br/><br/>I shake a rush of tingling nerves from my fingertips. If<br/>my stats are on track this morning, I can finally check<br/>out of the Clinic. I’ve toned up Shelby Johnson’s body,<br/>plus kept her weight stable this past week. Imagine—fifty<br/>whole pounds, sweated off in three months. Soon, Shelby’s<br/>Before and After images will spring up in vidfeeds<br/>everywhere, peddling the Institute’s new client group,<br/>teens fourteen to eighteen.<br/><br/>Put an end to obesity before you reach adulthood, the ads<br/>will shout. Look fabulous in three to six months!<br/><br/>I’m happy to say I’ve made important progress for Shelby<br/>and the pilot program.<br/><br/>The scanner in the Weigh Center doorway blinks as it<br/>reads the ID chip in my hand. This early, the garish<br/>green waiting chairs hold only a few Reducers. I nod to<br/>another arriving worker, a guy who has about ten pounds<br/>left to lose. Before I can start up a conversation, an<br/>electronic voice near the ceiling intones, “Morgan Dey,<br/>report for weigh-in.”<br/><br/>In Admittance, I step toward an available tech. “Hey,<br/>how’s your day going?”<br/><br/>He grunts and barely looks at me as he waves me onto the<br/>scale, like Reducers are a bunch of faceless cogs on an<br/>assembly line. “Morgan Dey in the body of Shelby<br/>Johnson,” he verifies for the data streamer. He records<br/>my vitals and steps to the wallscreen readout. “Your<br/>assignment is complete. Restoration is scheduled for oh-<br/>nine-forty-five today in the administration building.<br/>Arrive at least ten minutes early at Mr. Behr’s office.”<br/><br/>A wide grin takes over my face. In one short hour, I can<br/>shed my Loaner body and go home. I exit the Weigh Center<br/>and take the stairs two at a time back to the second<br/>floor. With a hasty handprint, I access my dorm room.<br/>After I dictate a log entry of my morning workout, I grab<br/>my Institute phone so I can send a voice-to-text message<br/>to Mom, Dad, and Granddad. I word the message carefully,<br/>since Leo Behr, the director, screens everything a newbie<br/>Reducer sends.<br/><br/>Or so he says. Personally, I think it’s a bluffy scare<br/>tactic he invented to keep his workers in line.<br/><br/>Excerpt from The Body Institute by Carol Riggs<br/>All rights reserved by publisher and author |
