The first sign was the weight.
Women lounging along Blackwater Beach suddenly found themselves adjusting bikini tops that had fit perfectly only minutes earlier. A strange warmth spread through their chests, followed by an intense swelling pressure that refused to stop. Soft curves became visibly fuller by the second, stretching tight against thin swimwear as confused beachgoers stared down in disbelief.
Out beyond the shoreline, a shattered cargo container drifted in the surf, leaking glowing white chemical foam into the tide.
BX-17.
An experimental bovine enhancement serum.
Designed to dramatically increase dairy production in livestock.
Now aerosolized into the salty ocean air.
Panic spread almost as quickly as the transformations themselves. Women clutched at rapidly expanding chests that grew heavier and rounder with every passing wave. Bikini straps strained dangerously against increasingly impossible fullness while posture shifted under the mounting weight. Some tried desperately to cover themselves with towels while others froze in stunned fascination, unable to look away from their own changing bodies.
The foam kept rolling ashore.
Every gust of sea mist intensified the effect.
Lifeguards attempted to evacuate the beach as more women succumbed to the exposure, their swollen curves forcing awkward, unsteady movement through the sand. Crowds gathered, phones recording everything while emergency sirens echoed down the coastline.
And worst of all—
the scientists monitoring the spill realized the serum wasn’t slowing down after exposure to humans.
It was accelerating.
