Chapter 27: Delayed Improvement

Alex woke up after an incredibly uncomfortable nights sleep. He was constantly tossing and turning and drifted in and out of sleep over and over again. He didn't know what the cause was but he had never slept so poorly in his life.

'Even my neck is sore, was I lying in a weird way or something? Is that why I couldn't sleep?' Alex stood up, stretching his neck and other sore muscles while walking to the bathroom.

As Alex turned into the bathroom he was greeted by his own reflection in the mirror above the basin. This wouldn't be strange except for the fact that his body didn't look the same as before.

His body had become a bit larger than before in terms of muscle mass and those very same muscles held some decent definition to them as well. Alex had gone from looking like a living mummy to mimicking an amateur swimmer.
