Testing
Carlie sat in the waiting area, trying to steady her nerves. She’d volunteered for this, after all, and they were paying her $1000 to be the subject of this test.
But she still had no idea what it would be. All they said was that they needed a healthy, young woman who was willing to do unusual things. She signed up, but what did she sign up for.
She filled out the paperwork, wondering why there was a statement about mishaps and discombobulation, not knowing what that meant. What was she here for? She was told to wear something that bared her waist, so she did, but she still had no idea what for.
As she was called back, a few minutes later, she saw a few gadgets she recognized from hospitals and doctor’s offices, including what looked like an EEG machine. That’s when one of the scientists, a Dr. Benwae, sat her down and explained what was going on.
“You see, Carlie, we’ve heard reports of certain…interactions when it comes to magic being performed on young women. There are certain sensations that goes on when it happens and we’re running tests to see what actually physiologically happens.”
Carlie gulped. “But magic isn’t real.”
Dr. Benwae smiled, touching her hand. “It’s strange, but, in certain conditions, quantum field effects can allow what we perceive as magic to really take place. A lot of magicians do use illusion, but there are a few who actually use what they call magic to effect real things happening.”
Carlie took a deep breath. Was she signing up to have something happen to her? “Okay. What do you want to do to me?”
Dr. Benwae led her to the EEG, wiring it up to her head before placing a blood pressure cuff around her arm. “Now this next part is just for testing purposes, and you did sign the consent form.”
Carlie looked down, gasping a moment before he stuck a needle in her arm. He pulled out a blood test tube and drew some from her. “This is the baseline. Now here.”
He placed a pulse monitor on her finger, noting that her pulse was running a little fast and attributing the nervousness of what was going to happen to that. Carlie agreed and he had her lay down on the table. It wasn’t the most comfortable, but she’d laid on worse. “Okay, now what? A saw or something?”
Dr. Benwae placed some sort of frame, perfectly vertical, on either side of her waist. “No, this will be much quicker.”
As he turned it on, Carlie could only gasp. She felt a temporary burning sensation, but that passed quickly as something very pleasant overwhelmed her. She heard the EEG machine beeping and felt the cuff as the pleasing feeling escalated. She smiled, knowing what had happened. “Interesting. Your brainwave patterns in your hippocampus suggest something good, even though I know I just sliced your body in half. Your pulse and O2 levels show an elevation. Now let’s check this.”
He drew another vial of blood, checking it quickly. “Elevated levels of endorphins, oxytocin and serotonin. You must be feeling really good.”
Carlie just smiled, then pushed down on her elbows. Her halves separated and she felt really good. She put a hand between her halves, knowing full well that her body was in two pieces, but yet she could still twitch her toes and bend her leg. She could feel them. Dr. Benwae appeared over her. “You really do feel good, don’t you?”
Carlie smiled, nodded. “What else can you do to me?”
Dr. Benwae stroked his beard for a moment. “Hold on, I think I know.”
He moved the laser cutter to either side of her neck and Carlie smiled again. “Go ahead.”
As he turned it on, Carlie felt her neck separate. Her head came off cleanly, making it even more weird that she could still feel everything. She reached up, picked up her head, and moved it slightly. “even more interesting. Now let’s see what happens when we try to put you back together.”
Carlie looked at him, pleading. “Can I be apart for a few more minutes?”
Dr. Benwae looked at her for just a moment and smiled. “Okay. It would be fascinating to see how long this can last.”
Carlie felt her neck, feeling the skin there, turning her head all over the place, looking at her divided body. Yes, there was a weird sort of flat skin over her hips as well, so she reached down, feeling it. It felt ticklish, tender.
After a few minutes, she began to wonder if she might be able to put herself back together, so she turned her head back in the right direction and pressed it down onto her neck.
A flood of new, wonderful sensations went through her still-divided body as it rejoined, and she had to gasp in pleasure. As she lay there, still in halves, she had to wonder what would be in store for her.
She pressed her top half to her bottom half and almost had an orgasm it felt so good.
As Dr. Benwae took the equipment off of her, she impulsively hugged him. She had no idea what the events would have to be in order for her to have that happen again, but she had to find out.
She had to feel it all again.
