Checkpoint

"Sir, Madam, I realise that this might be difficult for you, but before you leave this hotel I need your details, and what changes have affected you."

The man and woman were both dressed in high quality suits, his a dark grey and hers a maroon. Both wore good quality shoes, and they had matching luggage. The only thing odd was that they both wore scarves around their faces, revealing only their eyes. The man shook his head.

"Sir, the government has imposed a state of emergency for very good reasons, and until you are processed you are not allowed to leave".

The man pointed to an open door - an office behind the policeman contained a desk, computer and associated hotel office detritus. The man indicated he would cooperate if they were in the office.

The door closed behind the three people, their luggage left outside.

"Sir, again, please can I have your details and what changes have affected you".

The man removed his scarf. There appeared to be no external change - a handsome young man with a square jaw and freshly shaved skin, and he smelled nice.

When he spoke, however, his speech was difficult to understand, as if his mouth was already full of something.

"Thir, thith ith yerry embarrathing. I know there hath been a terrible affliction upon the people in thith hotel, and I have theen therrible thingth, but I do not want thith affliction in any recordth. I demand my privathy".

"I understand that sir, and the government is capturing these records to ensure that we can maintain national security, and if possible use the skills and talents to national advantage. I need your name, contact address and the nature of the changes that have affected you".

"I demand to thee your thecurity team leader. I will not have thith defect in any government record".

"Sir, I understand your concern, if you wish I will get him now".

"Do that".

He radioed his request, and they sat in the office chairs. Eyes flicked between each other. After a short time the Commander entered the room.

"What appears to be the problem?"

"This gentleman and lady do not want to enter into the record of changes, Sir"

"You may leave".

The commander and the man and the scarved woman remained in the room.

"What is your reason for not wanting to be recorded?" The commander imposed his authority immediately.

"What hath happened to uth ith not a matter of government interetht. I demand that you let uth leave immediately".

"Sir, Madam, that is not going to happen. Either I have you locked in a cell for the next 24 hours, and then we begin this discussion again, or you give me your details now. I have hundreds to process, and you are taking up my time. Your choice. 20 seconds for an answer".

The woman gently took the mans arm and she looked with sadness into his eyes. She nodded.

"Thir, I will give my datailth and my wifeth detailth, under protetht".

"Go on..."

"Thilvia and I are on our honeymoon, and are nothing to do with the convention. At the time of the change, we were enjoying a loving and beautiful thexual act between two conthenting and happily married people, and after the change I have been left with thith".

He stuck his tongue out, except that where his tongue would have been there was a fully erect penis. As it stuck fully out he pulled back the foreskin with his finger and thumb to reveal a fully sized glans, with the unexpected feature that it was upside down - the frenulum was on top.

Silvia removed her scarf. Where her mouth would have been horizontally, now vertically was a vagina with labium majus and minus, and on her chin, effectively upside down, a clitoris. Unable to speak any more, she simply looked down and began to weep silently, breathing heavily through her nose.

"Sir, far from not reporting this condition, I insist that you and your wife get urgent medical help. How is your wife to eat?"

"Thir, the vagina connectth with her throat - thhe can take liquid food from a thyringe - thith we have already found out. And thhe hath no teeth, and her jaw no longer clotheth - thhe theemth to have no jaw muthelth.".

She had covered her face back up and wiped the tears from her eyes with a freshly laundered handkerchief from her jacket pocket.

"I'm sorry sir, but while this may be embarrasing for you now, I insist that you are processed as required, and are placed in the hands of the medical profession for your own safety and the safety and security of your wife.
