This short story takes place in a far away place, and a distant time when medicine in Greece was being used to cure people of their ailments. There is a particular boy, Jejomar who is discontent with himself and he encounters a practitioner who owns his own shop. Jejomar is given the "magic pill" with the promise that he would become what he wants. The boy, takes the pill and expiriences a change. The desired change. He notices his face and his body have changed. As he goes out to town, young girls take note. The boy is then faced with a new reality with a new set of problems. He is unprepared for such problems and confides in these girls. The issues become problematic as each lass he talks to wants a comitment. Such new set of problems causes the boy to go back to the practitioner demanding the changes be undone. The practitioner tells Jejomar that it cannot be. The adventure he expiriences with each girl is wild and uncouth. The boy continues to live with these problems and is forced to comit to a single lass who teaches him manners and ways of being proper. They fall in love and they live happily ever after.
It is a work in progress, and we do hope you keep tuned for updates on "Merlin's Medicine".
