White Jade

[Ambition and envy lead to an awkward and mysterious meeting, and unexpected—one might even say 'supernatural'—results.] 

Julian decides he must have the secret of his friend Keith's miraculous physical improvements, and so he tracks it down—and gets exactly what he needs... whether he likes it or not.

Included in the anthology Diabolical Blessings.
