The Bath Oil

It had been a rough day. The office had been hectic with the new orders for their latest clothing line coming in by the hundreds. It had meant an early start, Diane couldn't remember whether it had started at 7AM, 6 AM or even earlier. Now it was nearly 9 PM and she dearly wanted a long soak in her jacuzzi. Damn! She remembered she'd run out of bath oil. You just couldn't soak completely without a fragrant bath oil. She turned her car towards the strip mall where her favourite body pampering shop was but arrived too late. It was locked.

She kicked the door once and started to head towards her car.

"Perhaps I can be of service," a young man smiled at her.
"Only if you sell bath oil," she growled at him.
"As it happens, I do," he held up a fancy glass bottle with a greenish oil within.   The bottle was quite large and had a pictures of a leaping dolphins around its base.. 

"I'm trying to interest the stores in my product line. They're made from natural sea products."
"Not animal tested," Diane avoided products tested on animals.
"Heavens no. These oils are made using a traditional formula hundreds of years old.” 

He twisted open the cap on a bottle and passed it to Diane. She lifted the bottle to her nose and smelled the sea. Even the smell was relaxing!

"I'll take a bottle," she smiled at him. 

After taking her money, he wandered off to the doors that had a stern security guard waiting to lock up.  Diane smiled at the gruff face of the guard, who threw the door bolt as soon as she had passed through them. Looking about, she didn't notice the young man anywhere but she had relaxing to do. Once home, she filled the tub and started to undress. No sooner did the oil hit the water though then Diane felt dizzy. When she awakened in the tub, the water had cooled. She felt relaxed though a bit worried at passing out. Too much work over the past weeks.

It was then she made a startling discovery. Her legs were fused from crotch to feet. And halfway down her calves, her skin colour changed to a dark colour rather like the dolphin's on the bottle. Her eyes widened in shock as she discovered her feet, or lack of feet. Instead, she now sported a wide dark pair of flukes just like the dolphin on the bottle.
