But alas, my time eventually had to come to an end.  The six wonderful woman were arranged around me, clearly as happy with what we had done as I was.  "Well," I was quite honest here, "We're almost done.  I know we have time for one more little thing, and rules being rules, I can only take one of you with me."

"Awww," they all chorused.

"Well, rules are rules," I said, "and my winnings do run out eventually."  I clapped my hands together.  "But, as I said, we have time for one more thing."

"But Master," Mary asked, "what will it be? There are six of us!"

"That won't be a problem!" I assured them.  "Let me show you."

I led them to one side, where my planned finale waited for them.  "This is a mulcher," I said as I pointed at the device. "You enter at the top," I pointed to the small steps that led to the open side, "and when you're all in there," I moved my finger to point to the small doors on the side, "you'll come out there."

"All of us, Master?" Lisa queried.

"Of course!" I said. "All of you!  Although not all at once." I shook my head. "It won't hold you going in at the same time."

"I'll go first!" Kelly said as she went up the stairs.  At the top, she looked in, down into the blackness. "I can't see anything," she said as she leaned over.  "Oh well, in I go, Master!" And with that, she hopped in, feet first.

She vanished from sight, almost without fanfare, except after a heartbeat, the machine whirled to life, and shook. From inside, Mary could be heard crying out in shock for a moment before even that was cut out.

"Next!" I commanded.

"I might as well," Lana said as she ascended.  She too looked inside.  "I don't see anything either," she commented.  "See you!" She cheerfully said as she jumped in.

Again, no sound, then the device devoured her just as it had Kelly.  A momentary sound of surprise, then nothing.

"You two," I said to the twins, hands entwined.

"Yes, Master." They replied in concert.

They went up, and didn't bother to look before they leapt. "Geronimo!" they said.

And then there were only two left.

Lisa and Mary looked at each other, then Mary went up.  Unlike the others, she sat down first, slipping her legs into the machine, then waiting.  I didn't have to wait long as the device whirled to life, and yanked her down into its maw.  She yelled as she was pulled in, her arms rising above her head to give her some semblance of control.

Lisa bowed to me.  "I am the last, Master.  If I may, a question?"

"Of course."

She climbed up the steps. "How will you choose who goes away with you?  Will this machine spit one of us back out at random?"

"Something like that, I admitted."  She looked curious at me.  "I did call it a muncher, right?  Well, it is eating all of you."  Lisa looked down into the device with some worry.  "Now, jump in."

She did as I commanded, and then I was alone.

I moved to the small door in the side of the mulcher, and waited.  This was going to take a couple moments.

It dinged.

I opened the door.  "Hello."

The woman unrolled herself, fitting through the gap in the side of the machine.  "Hello," she said. "Um.. I am ..."

"I think I'll call you Adrianna," I informed her.  "And this lovely machine here mixed up everyone who jumped in,"

"And made me," she finished. She stood up and looked at her body.  I looked to. It was easy to see where each piece of her came from. "This is how you intend to take only one of us home?"

"By making all of you into you," I confirmed.  "Winning the jackpot means I get to take one home with me, and I couldn't really pick one."

"So you made one," Adrianna concluded.  "Ah, I see!"  She smiled at me. "Once we get back to where you want to go, I can break back down into the ones who made me."

"That's correct," I said as I gestured to the door I first entered in.  "However, you are a new person, so it's only fair that I have some fun with you as well."

Adrianna looked at me, showing me her perfectly formed body. "I think I can agree to that. Master." She put one hand on her hip, "I have a lot of experience, don't you know?"

"I will soon." I said as I left the room behind, my prize following.
