Things Get Hairy for Amy
As she hurled the vial towards Jim, Amy was horrified to see a tendril of hair stretch out from Jim's upper lip, and shatter the glass vessel in mid flight. As the vial cracked, some of the solution splattered onto the loafers Amy was wearing. She looked down, concerned that the hair growth formula had managed to touch her bare skin. The formula that splashed on her feet seemed to have only made contact with her shoes, leaving her unaffected. With a sigh of relief, Amy turned back to her beakers and test tubes, searching for a chemical that would halt or reverse Jim's transfromation.
With Jim's hair growing longer, thicker, and more animated by the second, time was of the essence. Even though Jim had imbibed the orignial formula, Amy found an antidote that should ameliorate the effects, even if applied topically. She quickly pouted the vial into a spray bottle and misted Jim with the liquid. As the spray hit Jim's growing, tangling hair, it's effect was almost immediate. Jim's hair stopped growing, and started to retract into his body.
"Mmmgmf looks like it's working," Jim said, as the hair on his upper lip pulled back in to the point where he could speak again. Looking down, Jim saw that his entire body was covered in shaggy hair, but the hair was no longer growing.
"The formula should have reversed the process somewhat, but probably not completely. And I can't say what possible side effects it might have," Amy said.
"I better get home and start shaving," said Jim.
