Mustve Been The Wind

Must’ve been the wind

Trapped.

These three boys were trapped in a cabin due to the violent snowstorm that had just blown through moments ago. Now looking like a colossal pile of snow, it would have been hard to realize that underneath all of the cold and white mass was actually a quaint and cozy cabin. 

“NNH,” One of the boys slammed his shoulder into the door, trying desperately to get it to budge so they could make it outside. As many times as he pushed into the door, he found himself being pushed away from the door, feet sliding along the hardwood at the entrance of the house. “There’s no way this thing is going to open, man! We’re fucked! Absolutely, positively fucked!” he protested with a firm swat at the door with his fist.

A second boy chimed in, “Chill out, Jack. Look, yes we’re trapped but it’s not like we’re going to be dying any time soon. There’s still food, it’s still warm and even if it starts to get colder, we have tons of blankets and pillows, even all of our extra clothing we can put wear,” Standing further away from the door, this second boy watched Jack’s attempts to open it while knowing with certainty that he wasn’t going to be able to open it even a crack. With how much snow apparently piled up against that thing, they had to be monsters to swing it open.

From across the room, another voice arose. “Are we really going to die, Thomas? I don’t want to die while stranded in here! I want to go home!” The third boy’s voice was noticeably more shaky, clearly scared of the situation the three found themselves in.

Staring down the door in defeat, the first boy was out of breath, hand trembling “Yeah, ain’t nobody here going to come help us at this point. We gotta figure this out on our own…” He muttered this without turning, punching the door had hurt more than he thought, and he surely didn’t want anyone to catch that actually it hurt.

“Can you be quiet and listen to me? Will you, Jack? There’s no need to scare Alex more about the situation,” Thomas turned towards Alex, who was slinking in the corner of the room. “We’ll be fine, Alex. People will come get us for sure.”

Jack tutted, “Yeah, right…” Causing a fearful look from Alex, and an annoyed look from Thomas.

“Forget this, I’m going to the other room.” Thomas turned with a huff and started off to the back of the house, winding through the hallway and into the bedroom. Plopping himself down on their soft bed, he laid back and stared at the wall. 

How did this snowstorm happen so fast?

—----------------

The three of them met at a summer camp not too long ago, and after getting to know each other more, they decided to take another trip out to the snow. Thomas and Jack were always hanging with each other and going on adventures. They both met Alex who was much more meek and afraid, but enjoyed the company of the two and tried his best to keep up. They quickly became a trio. A family member of Alex offered the cabin outing, and they couldn’t say no to an entire cabin, even if it was way out in the middle of nowhere. While the long drive there had some snow that was more slush than snow, they were expecting it to resume snowing throughout the night. It was forecasted to be a light snow, and they were excited to frolic around after they woke up to a winter wonderland.

Little did they know, the snow began to pick up earlier than expected. By the time they got to the house, there was already a fairly strong downpour of snowflakes. After parking their car in the side lot of the cabin, they made their way into the cobblestone entrance and began to bring all their luggage in. The three boys gaped at the luxurious wooden interior, with all the typical amenities that they expected to be in a top notch cabin. The entire back of the front door was covered in a huge mirror, they noticed. Jack would make faces at himself in it between luggage trips.

As soon as their luggage was all in, the three of them kicked off their boots. Jack and Alex got comfy on the huge couches, and Thomas decided to peruse the place. Turning into the hall, he felt the floor’s fluffy carpet along his feet. He saw that the hall split off in two directions, bathroom on the right, and bedroom on the left. Thomas gently swung open the bathroom door and saw that it was, well, a bathroom. Pretty small, all things considered. Door opened up to a square room with a toilet on the opposite side of the door, shower on the right, and sink to the left. 

‘Functional’ Thomas thought to himself.

A big mirror was once again found on the back of the door, and Thomas didn’t particularly enjoy that he would be staring at his reflection if he were to take a dump in there; the toilet was directly facing the door. Leaving the bathroom behind after one last eyeball, he turned to inspect the bedroom. It seemed that it was a master bedroom, as he could tell it was quite spacious even before entering. As soon as he crossed the threshold, Thomas heard a humming noise. 

‘Where’s that coming from?’ He thought to himself as he brought his hand to his ear and glanced around. Thomas put his ear to the hallway wall, and he could hear it. He put his ear to the floor, and he could hear it. Strangely, it seemed that the mystery noise had no origin that he could find. It was almost like i-

In an instant, they all felt a wave of sleepiness hit them as if a switch was flipped,  and they all opted to take a quick nap. Thomas stumbled to the bed where drifted to sleep, while Alex and Jack had still been on the couch. 

They didn’t wake up until Alex’s scream blew through the whole house. Jolted awake, Thomas quickly got up and ran down the hall to the main room where he met the other two boys. Had he fallen asleep? This was no time to be thinking of things, as he turned out of the hall and met with his friends. They were looking at the front window, but something was wrong. The entire window was white! Turning around to the window behind him in the kitchen, Thomas noticed that its fate was in a similar state.

In the time that they all fell asleep, they somehow were completely snowed in. It looked as if someone covered the outside of their windows with white paint, there was not even a hint of the scenery that was typically seen from the windows.

“What the fuck?!”

“Guys what do we do? I’m scared!”

“Just how long were we asleep for?”

Jack tore his eyes away from the kitchen and searched for a clock. No clocks on the walls that they could find. The clock on the microwave screen was blank. The oven? Blank.

Thomas furiously patted down his pockets in search of his phone, but no dice.

“Dudes, I think the power is out!” Jack immediately looked toward Thomas, who met his eyes in the same shocked expression.

Alex began to sniffle, and then burst into tears. He was clearly overwhelmed by the sudden dilemma they found themselves in.

“Hey, come on, it’s ok Alex!” Thomas, ever the guardian, comforted Alex while Jack ran around the house looking for anything that could help them out in this predicament. He found more windows similarly blinded by snow. After what felt like an eternity of running around the house looking for anything helpful, Jack noticed a door on the ceiling above the hallway.

Bingo!

Jack hopped up to grab the string and attempted to pull it down…with no success. His fingers had scraped against the scratchy string and left a stinging sensation. With a sneer, he shook out his hand and readied himself again to pull it down, this time with all his strength. Once again, nothing budged. Jack huffed in frustration at the fact that he couldn’t pull it open. He began to hear that same humming in his ears.

At the same time, Thomas rounded the corner, spotting Jack.

“Hey, did you find anything, man?” Shortly after asking, Thomas noticed that Jack had indeed found something of interest. “Alright! We got something! Do you need any help opening it?” Thomas walked closer, offering his hand to help Jack out before being shrugged off by him.

“More like I got something. You were busy babysitting over there or something.” Jack barked at Thomas. “Besides, I can open it myself.”

“What? Now isn’t the time for your little tantrums, man. What even is your deal with Alex? He just gets a little scared sometimes,” Thomas was clearly losing his patience with Jack already, this wasn’t uncommon to say the least, but he certainly hoped Jack would have been more mature in a situation like this.

Both Thomas and Jack have pretty similar builds. Thomas being 5’8 while Jack was a smidge taller at 5’10. Both were skinny, but Thomas had some more meat on his bones due to helping his dad with moving some client’s desks around at his office. Jack on the other hand, was skinnier yet much more scrappy. He always had a bit of a short temper, but he’d been working on it as best as he could. Thomas knew, though, that his temper always shined through when he was stressed out, like their current situation. Thomas had medium length brown hair that was always in a middle part, a lot of girls at his school seemed to enjoy it fluttering in the wind during gym classes. Jack’s hair is of a similar length, but black in color and brushed back on his head. His didn’t flow nearly as luxuriously as Thomas’ though. Jack’s hair often flew right into his eyes, causing him to form a habit of wiping his forehead upwards to get the hair out of his face.

The two glared at each other for a moment before Jack broke away and tried one more time at the string. Third time, third fail, and Jack fell to the ground with an “oof”.

Thomas grabbed his arm and helped him up and then helped him open the door, with Jack’s reluctant compliance. With a pop and both the boys stumbling back a bit, the door was opened! It appeared to be a cozy, albeit dusty, little attic loaded with equipment of some kind.

“Look, Jack. Just let me help you out sometimes, alright? It doesn’t hurt to ask for help when you need it,” Thomas was used to this, Jack always wanted to do things on his own terms.

“Whatever, man. I could’ve done it myself, just go back to Alex.” Jack didn’t make eye contact, just brushed Thomas off and inspected what was inside the attic. It seemed that it was a lot of household supplies and things like extra blankets and bedding.

Walking back over to Alex, Thomas noticed that he had shifted positions to be in the corner of the room huddled together.

“You alright?” Thomas was quick to ask how he was doing. 

“Yeah…” He replied meekly. “Sorry for not being much help,” Alex was always like this since the other two have known him. With his much shorter stature of 5’4 and his short brown hair, he definitely fit the bill of a shy and quiet kid. After meeting Jack and Thomas, he realized that he wanted to change himself for the better, and it was obvious to the two bigger guys that Alex looked up to them.

—-----------------

It stings.

Jack’s hand was trembling from punching the door, his shoulder still aching from his tackles. Why couldn’t he just open it? Why did he have to be-

He didn’t want to say it, but it was true. Jack looked at his reflection. His red knuckles on his shaking hand. He glared into his reflection’s eyes. Why did he have to be so weak?

Instantly, the humming returned within his ears. It began soft, before growing louder and louder until his head throbbed. ‘Why? Why am I so damn weak?’ He felt his entire body heat up, before he stepped forward and punched the mirror in front of him.

KRACK

The sound of glass crackling startled Alex, and he looked over at Jack from his position on the other side of the room. He saw Jack hunched over against the front door and it looked like he was shaking.

“Jack? Are you alright?” Alex walked up to him, and rested his hand on Jack’s back. It was hot, really hot. And his whole body was shaking as well. Before Alex could let out a peep, he felt something shift in Jack. Pulling his hand away he stared at Jack as he remained in his hunched position. After a moment of silence and suspense that felt like it lasted forever, Jack keeled onto the floor with a yell as what looked like a wave passed over his back.

“Jack! What’s going on?” Despite wanting to help, Alex didn’t even realize that he had taken a step back. Jack was on the floor moaning, his back arched towards the ceiling. It looked like something was inside of him that was trying desperately to get out. Pulse after pulse, his back kept pushing outwards, the creases of his shirt soon were a thing of the past. Jack was growing bigger.

Jack’s back jolted harder, a huge burst of mass expanding out of his. He continued to moan, and Alex couldn’t tell if it was in agony or in bliss. Jack’s shirt was looking pretty tight already, and out of nowhere two masses lunged to the sides of his body, ripping the long sleeve right down the middle. With Jack’s back now exposed to the air of the cabin, Alex got a solid look at what was happening. He was growing muscles! The masses that flew to the sides continued their journey, pushing his shoulders out with them until they looked like airplane wings. The smooth back Jack once had inflated and grew mountain like ridges as it grew as hard as stone.

Jack’s mind was blank, all he could pay attention to was the seething heat of his body and the floor in front of him. He subconsciously noticed that his arms were being pulled further away from him as his back was widening, but couldn’t pay any mind to it. All of a sudden, he felt his hand spasm. He turned his eyes to his right hand as he saw his lean fingers puff up and widen with mass and size. His palm blew up with a crunch, and it inflated to match the size of his new grabbers. He noticed that the skin itself looked different as well, much more weathered and beat up, veins growing visible on the back of his hand. He felt a similar sensation in his other hand, but was too busy looking at the progress his right side was already making,

Jack’s wrist snapped and widened, his arm shooting out in length and pushing him away before beginning to fill with muscle of its own like water being poured into a balloon. Instantly his sleeves began to rip and tear from the strain. His twigs for arms blew up until Jack couldn’t even tell if they were humanly possible to be that big, his now beefy forearms looked about as wide as his thighs with corded muscle and veins painted a landscape on the canvas that was his body. His arms jiggled into view until he flexed them and they solidified into huge instruments of destruction, the watermelons attached to his now anchor arms accentuated only by a few veins the size of steel cables. His arms weren’t being filled with water, these babies were cement! His shoulder blew up into a pumpkin sized mass, and even just flexing his arm he could tell that these things were rock hard. 

Jack swiveled his eyes to the other side and saw that the process had steadily progressed on his other half as well, pumpkin sized delts, arms the size of his head, and triceps that provided the grip strength to crush a brick, all capped by the biggest mitt of a hand he had ever laid eyes on. The heat in his body seemed to be more bearable now, as if the energy was dispersing through his body as he changed.

As his arms finished up their growth, one last snap of his back widened him even further until the simple task of walking through doors would prove to be a challenge, and putting his shirt out of commission for good. Jack didn’t even realize, but his feet had begun their growth, his shoes already screaming for mercy. From his average size 8, his feet snapped out of their confines and stretched out to a mighty and meaty size 12, shoe canvas fluttering about. As if his new dogs could breathe, as soon as they touched the outside air his legs shot out in length before mass trickled onto them. To support a body as big as his he would need pistons for legs, and it appeared he was going to get exactly that.

Jack looked up at his own reflection, glaring at himself again. He hated it. He couldn’t stand to look at himself when he was that weak. Jack pushed himself off of the floor, slowly rising to his new height of 6’3. His legs continued to spread out as he rose, thighs and calves blowing up like bread in the oven, his ass evolving from being flat as plank to something more akin to a couch pillows. His pants never stood a chance, and as soon as Jack stood straight, his waist widened with a snap. 

Peering into his own eyes, he braced himself against the mirror. He wanted to change from this weakling. He needed to become stronger. The only way he can better himself here and now is to become stronger!

“UNH!” With a boom not unsimilar to a crack of lightning, Jack’s chest exploded outwards into a much more barrel-like shape, shoving his body into the mirror.  His breaths were raggedy, the hot air fogging the mirror in front of him as he could feel his pecs begin to grow. From nothing came something, and then those somethings blossomed into huge iron plates flowing out of his chest. His now incredible chest showed no signs of stopping, pecs growing bigger and bigger with each fervent desire of their owner to become stronger. A six pack crunched itself into existence along his stomach, pushing out towards the mirror with their mass. Jack could no longer see himself in the mirror with how fogged up it was.

“Jack! What the hell is happening to you?!” In the back of Jack’s mind, he heard Alex’s cry. Who he was, on the other hand, was beginning to blur in and out of his head. Jack began to turn around, showing off his incredible body to the tiny individual in front of him. He looked dully into Alex’s eyes, not processing what was happening at all. It was strange seeing Jack’s young head on top of such a mountain of virility, but that was about to change.

“Hrck!” Jack stumbled back, his large body slamming against the door with a heavy and deep  thud that shook the house. He felt his throat begin to constrict before it thickened like a wrestler’s, his head now even smaller looking atop this body. He brought his beefy hands up to his face, almost palming his entire head.

“T…Thomas? Thomas!” Alex could hardly snap out of his daze to call out for his friend, and he certainly couldn’t pull his eyes away from what was occurring in front of him. Jack let out another moan as he felt his entire head expand, immediately changing his look to a more mature one. A large and straight nose overtook his button; big square jaw looking just like a superhero’s would. His eyes opened, changing to a deep green. As if it were a catalyst, a multitude of changes happened all over. Worry lines forming along his face, placing his age closer to late 30’s early 40’s, 5 o’clock shadow smearing itself onto his chin and similar hair growing on the rest of his body to accentuate the newfound curves and bumps. Even his hair grew more wavy as it lightened from black to a dark brown.

A few curls fell over his face, and the new man slowly brushed it upwards out of the way before letting out a grunt. That small moment of noise was enough to tell Alex how much his voice had changed. It was almost like he could feel the rumble in his own chest with how deep it was. Now in front of Alex stood what looked like SuperDad, towering over him with all of his mass, and the only noise in the room being the deep breaths necessary to maintain his large figure. Despite the situation and how scared shitless he was, he could at the very least respect how good looking this guy was.

“Did you find a way to get out? What’s going on, Alex-” Thomas turned out of the hall to see a huge mountain of a man in his underwear standing inside of their cabin. He and Alex saw movement, and shifted their eyes lower to the python that was slowly growing within the confines of said underwear. It was slow, but it was indeed growing. Pushing the briefs to their limits ever so slowly as the room was silent apart from Jack's breaths and the groaning of the underwear. Even covered up, they could tell that it was huge, the weight of the bulge pushing further downwards the longer the two stared at it.

They were speechless. The three of them staring down at the appendage hiding away behind this thin bit of fabric. The situation and silence of it all was almost comical, almost.

Alex eventually turned to look at Thomas in search of words to speak. Thomas shifted his eyes to acknowledge Alex, before scanning the room and then returning his sight to the man. Where was Jack? The man was now investigating his body; staring at his hands, groping at his pecs and rubbing his stomach. He drifted over his package before he stopped and looked up to greet Thomas’ eyes. Something about his expression changed. It already looked stern given his deep brows, but even Thomas could see the miniscule lowering of them and his lips. This guy was not happy with him. 

Sensing something was about to go down, Thomas lunged forward and reached for Alex. At the same moment, the colossus began to move. By the time Thomas grabbed Alex’s arm and they were both turning towards the hallway, they realized just how big of a stride this man had. He had just covered so much distance in one step!

With their heart in their throats, they slammed their feet into the ground and forced themselves to sprint towards the bathroom. Sure, Thomas reasoned that this monster could tear a door off of its hinges if he so pleased, but within the confines of the cabin a door that was close was all that they could afford, so bathroom it was. 

The thudding footfalls of the man were right behind them as they swiped around the corner and nearly fell over each other to get into the tiny bathroom.

“CLOSE IT, CLOSE IT,” Alex shrieked at Thomas who was flipping around to grab the door. Thomas threw the door closed, and in the brief moment that it was closing, he looked upwards to see the man’s mass blocking out all sight of the hallway behind him. Thomas met his angry eye right before the door shut and he locked it.

Thomas braced the door with all his might. 

“Oh god, oh god, oh GOD,” Alex was pushing himself into the corner.

“Alex! Where’s Jack,” Even now, Thomas was trying to get a grip of the situation before him, as unbelievable as it was. 

“That IS Jack!”

“WHAT?” Thomas couldn’t even process whatever that meant. That was Jack? What do you mean that’s Jack?? Jack’s a twig, not some angry bulging behemoth-

“Hey!” The voice outside of the door was deep. Incredibly so. That singular word boomed so loud that the two of them froze in place. There was a real man behind this door? People’s voices can get this deep??

An equally loud thud shook the door and pulled the two of them out of their reverie.

“Alex! Help me out here!” Thomas continued to push as hard as he could, his hands white from the force he was pushing into them to keep the door shut.

Alex was frozen with fear in the corner.

“Come on, Alex! Help me out!” Thomas didn’t turn around, he didn’t want to put any focus off of the door in front of him, as it was the only thing protecting the two of them.

More bangs shot through their ears, and the vibrations they gave the door were numbing Thomas’ hands. He couldn’t bear this. He shut his eyes and pushed. Just push just push just keep pushing.

Apparently, this was nowhere near as strong as the Was-Jack could go, as his next hit was so strong and loud that it felt as if the door itself buckled and warped.

Feeling that was all that Thomas needed to know for sure that there was nothing he could do to stop his advance. He was simply too strong. Is this guy for real Jack? How could this be Jack? What on earth did Alex mean by saying that this is Jack? He certainly didn’t see Jack anywhere else when he checked on them, but for him to turn…to transform into someone else?

It didn’t matter if it made no sense, the only positives at this moment was that this thing could get into the bathroom, and there was nothing that they could do to stop it. 

“Jack!” It was desperate. It was so desperate but it was all Thomas could think to do. On the off chance that somehow a christmas miracle happened in this literal cabin in the woods and Jack turned into that man, he had to try.

“Jack, please! Please, please, please, please stop, ok? Alex is terrified, I’m terrified, ok? Just- let’s just stop with the slamming on the door and you go back to normal and we go back to how things were, yeah?” Thomas was sweating bullets, the banging and bashing not relenting.

The hum returned. Thomas tried to close his eyes, but the humming grew louder. He looked up at his reflection, the banging on the door and the humming in his ears becoming too much to handle. Thomas began to hyperventilate, unsure of what was going to become of both him and Alex.

“Jack! Whoever you are,” Thomas took one more glimpse at Alex who was still huddled in the corner. “...whoever you are. Goddammit! Just listen to me, please! Just listen to me for once!”

At that moment, Thomas froze up. It felt like he just had a mini heart attack for just an instance before everything went back to normal. He almost forgot about the bashing of the door and the danger of the situation.

Before he could fully grapple his thoughts again, he felt his right shoulder launch outwards towards the wall. Thomas had no idea what just happened, but Alex had seen this once already.

“No, no, NO! Please, Thomas, not you!” Alex pleaded, his voice was shaky. But Thomas didn’t know what he was talking about. Not him? What did he mean?

He felt pressure in his left leg and looked down at it. In an instant, he witnessed his foot stretching his shoe, and watched as it shredded through the front, growing larger and wider until it broke through all sides of the shoe. He couldn’t even process his new meaty feet before his leg cramped and shot out in length. He was thrown off balance, having to lean on the bathroom sink to his right to hold himself up. He changed his position to mak sure he was still bracing the door while he inspected his leg. It was throbbing, and it was hot. He saw his thigh bubbling up like water in a cauldron, but this wasn’t water. It was…muscle? Fat? He didn’t know what it was, but his leg was becoming huge! His calf grew big and heavy, but thighs bulging and heaving outwards even moreso. With a struggle and a pop, his pant leg burst off all at once. His left hand cramped and he couldn’t even look at it before hit arm shot out just like his right arm did. What was happening to him?

Thomas switched hand positions on the door, and that was when he noticed his hand looked puffy. It was only like that for a second before the palm expanded in all directions, stretching out across the door and taking his average fingers and morphing them into huge sausages. His knuckles popped, each as big as quarters, creases and crags appeared all over his hand, veins crawling out from nowhere. He felt another bang against the door, and put his left hand up against it to brace again, and he noticed that his left was in a similar state. He has gorilla hands! And on top of looking like some worn and torn man hands, they were growing hair. Thick and wiry brown hands were cropping up on the backs of his fingers all the way up to the wrist.

Thomas had no idea what was happening to his body, but if this was happening to him, maybe that really was Jack out there. He heard whimpering from Alex behind him. Wait, he can still think straight! Jack out there clearly has something going on up in the brain, but he can still differentiate things, he still knows what’s what.

“It’s ok, Alex! I’m not slipping! I don’t know what the he- what the heck is going on with me right now, but it’s still me!” Thomas didn’t turn around as he said this, he was too busy watching his arms inflate and bulk up, his sleeves quickly filling and groaning from the size.

Alex didn’t seem to be buying it, as he kept whimpering.

“It’s alright, Alex. I’ll…I’ll protect you, ok?” Thomas hoped he was speaking some truth. He seemed to be gaining some size, but was it enough to protect Alex? Enough to get through to Jack behind this door?

As if to respond to Thomas, his shoulders snapped outwards again, making him wider than the door, then immediately his torso lengthened along with his right leg. He was slowly becoming balanced again, he could feel mass pouring into not only his right leg, but his left leg still as well. Every so often he would feel them mash against each other, and he would have to stand a little further apart. 

He was getting pretty tall by now, he noticed. Thomas’ eyeline continued to rise ever so slowly up the door as the process continued. Was he as tall as Jack? He didn’t remember how he looked, he couldn’t really tell. His shoulders widened once more, this time taking his neck with it. Beefy lats flew out to his sides, huge traps rising to wrap around his now beefier neck. His shirt ripping to shreds over all of the size he was putting on here, and baring his skin to the cool air of the bathroom. His back was now a bloated mass of muscle, it was absurdly huge. To match this, his arms grew to become absurdly big as well. 

With a snap, his wrists grew in width, and then the muscle wrapped itself around it this way and that. Huge cannonballs replacing his biceps and triceps, a Christmas ham replacing his forearms. His arms were unbelievable. Even from the short amount of time he saw Jack, he could tell that his own arms were bigger, albeit less defined. The hair from his hands spread upwards like a fuse, covering his forearms and shoulders, then fluffing out under his arms. He felt tickles on his back  and could tell that his back was growing hairy as well.

Out of curiosity, Thomas peeked at his legs. They had become like redwood trunks, muscle and fat coming together to create huge monsters that he was afraid to call legs. He saw hair grow on his feet before it too spread upwards, leaving no space behind as his legs covered themselves in hair. Once again, he could feel the hair growing on his ass before he felt each cheek explode with mass. First the left, then the right, his ass becoming something of legends. It didn’t plan on stopping there, though. Thomas’ hips widened with a snap, and his ass then grew from legendary to impossible, the cheeks jiggling with growth as Thomas yet again spread his legs apart to accommodate. By now, his pants were long forgotten, the underwear hanging on for dear life.

“D-don’t worry, Alex! It’s still me in here! I just look a little different, is all,” Thomas was now taking up most of the space in the bathroom, Alex trying to escape so much he may as well have pushed himself through the wall, but Thomas could feel something else happening, something deep in his gut. 

“Ooohh,” Thomas’ knees suddenly buckled as he felt pleasure flood his nether regions. He looked down once more at the flat front of his crotch, but it wasn’t so flat anymore. His cock was growing not only longer, but thicker as well. It was making him unbelievably horny. Thomas was trying to push against the door while also holding himself up from the sheer pleasure he was feeling. He was rock hard, his beer can thick cock pushing outward against the fabric, making the waistband stretch out along with it. It stretched to 7 inches, then 8, then 9, and came to a crawl at a devastating 10 inches, the fabric having run so tight over the mass it was almost see through. 

Just when Thomas thought it was over, he felt another gut punch, and he knew his balls were growing. They inflated quickly within their confines, growing to match the size of large eggs, and creating enough testosterone to fuel two college football teams. He couldn’t take the pressure anymore. Thomas let out a lewd moan, his voice cracking and lowering into a baritone. His cock stretched to 11 inches.

Another throb of his balls and Thomas kicked out his monster ass as his knees buckled once more. He just barely caught himself from falling as his cock stretched out one last time to a jaw dropping 13 inches, finally snapping his underwear. 

“Uuunng-hhhhh,” Thomas couldn’t stop moaning and grunting, his voice catching in his thick throat and lowering over and over. His cock trembled in the air, still rock hard as his voluptuous balls swung and swayed in the air. 

“I’m…o-oughh,” Once more Thomas’ voice dropped. Deeper than Jack’s. Deeper than a well, or a ravine, or the mariana trench. His voice was now so deep and gritty that it would be impossible to whisper in any capacity, only capable of letting out a rumble that would frighten a lion.

“I’m sorry you had to see that,” Thomas could feel another rumbling somewhere in his gut. “I’m sorry you…have to see Daddy like this,” Thomas didn’t understand the words that came out of his mouth. He couldn’t believe any of this! But he was so, so horny, and couldn’t think straight.

Who was Daddy? Was it him? He certainly looked big enough to be one. Big and strong. Really big and strong.

He chuckled to himself, the rumble reverberating throughout the increasingly tighter bathroom. Then he felt the rumbling again. Thomas looked at his stomach, and saw it push outwards with a groan. It was nothing big, hardly even noticeably, but it was something. Before Thomas could react, his chest heaved forward. Thomas’ ribcage similarly pushed itself against the door with thud. He shifted himself backwards to give his body space, cock still smattering all over the door. 

He felt a push, and saw that his nipple looked bigger than he thought they had been. Another push and they for sure just grew. A mighty push stretched his nipples to the size of gumdrops, and drew out a groan from Thomas. With no time to think, his pecs began to plump up. 

Jack’s body grew with hard, corded muscle. Thomas’ body was growing with both muscle and fat purely for the sake of size. His pecs were no different. Capped by his now large nipples, his pecs fanned out in all directions, and in all directions big. Already big enough to put any bodybuilder or powerlifter to shame, with a grunt they heaved outwards another two inches. It wasn’t enough. Thomas pushed his chest out and with another grunt, his titties stretched and jiggled out even further until it looked as if they were each defying gravity.

Thomas got distracted by their enormity, and cupped his giant mitts to his giant pecs. Even with his new hand size, there was still ample man titty overflowing. Thomas brushed over his nipples with his fingers, and immediately let out a mighty groan. They were very sensitive, it seemed. With every squeeze of his chest, hair began to sprout atop it until hit chest was covered in wiry brown fur.

The rumble returned, but Thomas was too enraptured by his chest to notice. His stomach began to grumble, huge abs forming on top of his slightly bloated stomach, then his stomach swelled outwards into a belly.

“Mmmhhh,” Thomas was completely in his own world at this point, taking in his new body.

“Thomas! Thomas! The door!” Alex tried to warn Thomas to keep the door shut again, but it was too late. 

Jack began to open the door from the other side. With another grumble and groan, Thomas grimaced for a moment, before his belly swelled at once into a fully sized muscle gut, pushing the door shut again. Thomas patted his gut with a grin on his face.

Alex couldn’t believe his eyes. Thomas was huge. He was bigger than huge! How much does he even weigh now? Maybe he was safe with Thomas, even now!

Jack, on the other hand, was not having it. “Thomas, you better get out of that damn bathroom so I can give you a piece of my mind,” In the heat of recent events, Alex had forgotten just how deep Jack’s voice was. “I’m sick and tired of waiting around here! I’ve been trying to find us a way to get out of here and I get NO respect for anything that I have done today!”

Thomas’ grin dropped. Alex could see his expression through the mirror, and he didn’t want to think about what was going to happen next.

“Now you better get your fatass out here,” Jack continued berating Thomas, but Thomas was not having it. It looked like his frown drooped more, his brows getting more angry. But in reality, his head was expanding. To fit his huge body, Thomas’ face expanded in all directions, his jaw becoming almost brutish, his nose growing huge and cragged, chin expanding into a ball. It was bizarre how smooth his face transitioned as compared to the abruptness of his body’s transformation. His hairline shifted further back, creases and crags appeared on his face as he aged considerably. Thomas’ green eyes were now shaded under the canopy that was his brow, and despite how brutal his features were, the somehow retained a paternal feel to them. 

He scrunched his nose, and with a poof a big bushy mustache exploded out from underneath it, he groaned as he scratched at his jaw, bristled growing out into a beard that somehow made his jaw look even bigger than it already was. It was almost majestic, his new beard.

Thomas closed his eyes and stroked his beard, taking a deep breath.

“And quit babying that damn kid! He’s a grown up, for god’s sake!” Jack continued his tirade, and Thomas wasn’t having it. Alex knew Jack was talking about him, and felt embarrassed. He wondered if it was him that did this to his friends.

“Now you listen here, son,” Thomas’ voice was deeper than Jacks, and he was talking different too. Thomas reached a beefy paw to the door knob and backed his massive form up, bumping into Alex. “Scuse me, bud.” he looked at Alex for a moment before returning his attention to the door. Alex wanted to protest, but that tiny interaction left him speechless.

The door swung open and Alex’s heart stopped in anticipation.

Thomas was bigger than Jack. He had at least two inches on Jack. He was wider, he was bigger, he was more muscular. Alex couldn’t believe it. He also couldn’t believe that Jack didn’t even glance down once, as Thomas’ tool was still waving around like mad down there. 

“I don’t know what you’re babbling on about, but you better cut all that shit, y’hear me?” Thomas was so assertive against Jack, and though he knew that Thomas was on his side, he wasn’t sure anymore if it was really him in there. “What’rya trying to achieve here, huh? Trying to prove that you’re the big dog around here won’t get you anywhere so long as I’m here, I hope you know. And besides, can you quit it with all the yelling? You’re scaring the boy here, son!” Thomas  waved his mitt toward Alex, and Jack looked him dead in the eye. Alex felt like he was going to pass out.

 Jack began to fight back, jabbing his fingers into Thomas’ pec only for them to bounce off completely. “Alright, alright! I fuckin-” 

“Language, son,” Thomas interrupted him, and Jack grew angrier but stayed quiet. “Look, you’ve helped plenty already, but what do you mean you were trying to find a way out of here? You forget there was a front door, son?” He ended his statement with a deep chuckle.

“We’re snowed in you geezer, don’t you remember that much?” Jack was already becoming fed up with Thomas

It was bizarre for Alex to listen to them bicker. It was as if even with these new personas, they have known each other for a lifetime.

“You think about using those big muscles of yours for something other than flexing? Can you not just push the door open? It’s gonna be embarrassin’ for you if I take a shot at it and open it like nothing, I’ll tell you that much,” Thomas let out a hearty guffaw

“Yeah, yeah…look, if you’re that confident in yourself just be my guest, alright? Give it a shot, why don’tcha,”

These two, even now, have known each other forever. And even with these new personas, Alex was still being coddled, being babied like always. Everything changed, but had anything here really changed for Alex?

The two large men started walking towards the front door, though it looked more like waddles for them considering how thick their thighs were. They continued to bicker with one another on the trip towards that door. That front door with seemingly an impossible amount of snow behind it.

Jack now had an impossible amount of strength in him. Not only that, Thomas looked even stronger. Alex dreaded that if they opened that front door right there, then this hellish dream would be over. If they opened that door, then that would be the end of everything. No more being trapped in the cabin. No more Thomas and Jack. No more chances for Alex to catch up to his friends.

A hum began to ring out.

“It’s always like this!” Alex shouted out from behind. Thomas and Jack stopped in their places and turned to look back at him. 

“Y’alright, son?” Thomas inquired after a palpable moment of silence. 

“No. No, no, no! Nothing here is alright! The both of you just changed right before my very eyes and you ask me if everything is alright?” Alex was furious. His face was red, blood boiling. Thomas and Jack were both surprised that Alex was lashing out like that, it was so uncharacteristic of him to be so vocal. But something about it didn’t feel correct either. They knew who Alex was, but he seemed different in some unidentifiable way. “Ever since I have known the two of you, I have always been the one behind, always the one following in the shadow of your footsteps,” The humming grew louder within Alex’s ears, his head throbbing with anger. “You wanted to be stronger, Jack? I can hardly stand up for my goddamn self in any remotely stressful situation! You wanted Jack to listen to you, Thomas? I just hope that anybody would actually listen to me! All I ever am is a dead weight, dragging the two of you down. All I ever am is below you two, and for once in my life I want to stand beside the two of you as equals! Is that so much for me to ask of this world?” The humming reached an apex as Alex’s body heated up all at once.

Buckling under the crescendo of heat within, Alex stumbled and fell against the wall. Already his body was beginning to change, his clothes were beginning to rub all over. While Thomas and Jack had quite erratic changes, Alex’s was smooth in every way. Like some kind of weird CGI effect, Thomas and Jack watched in awe as The boy sprouted further in the air. Not only reaching towards the sky, but also towards the walls, his shoulders gurgling outwards at a steady crawl, torso deepening as it widened giving his body a strong looking form. 

Strong was a good way to describe how he was looking. His face had already hardened up a considerable amount, his youthful face still young, but a stronger young of much different genes and lineage. His legs were large, arms were large, and he looked like the definition of a male model. 

Alex was grinning. A grin so wide it was almost creepy. He felt so happy that he was finally undergoing a change. Would he finally find his place with these two? Something nagged at the back of his mind, though.

What was his relation with these two?

Shhhrip!

His shirt had torn over his toned arms and chest, his back about to follow in the same footsteps. He touched his larger palm to his stomach and felt abs appear from nothing, the heat of his skin almost hurting him. Alex knew these two for a very long time, he was sure of it. Going camping with these two, celebrating birthdays, going for a swim, they even showed up for his high school graduation. Not only his high school graduation, but all the graduations before that.

That didn’t make any sense. Hadn’t he met Thomas and Jack not too long ago? No, no, he specifically remembers them being at his middle school graduation. Even before that, he remembers his elementary school graduation. The further back he reminisced, the more memories he saw of Thomas and Jack. That didn’t sound right to him, though. Their names weren’t Thomas and Jack, he knew that, he just couldn’t place what their names really were. Was his name really Alex?

The more he remembered, the bigger he grew in size. He caught up to Jack in terms of height, and while he wasn’t as big as him, Alex’s size was now nothing to scoff at. His body continued to swell, pants shredding off, shoes snapping apart, he was on his way to only having his underwear on, like his father, Jack. His father?

Yes, of course. Jack was his dad. Alex remembered birthday parties with him when he was young, sitting in his lap and resting against his large chest. He remembered the banners, the decorations. 

‘Happy Birthday, —--’ 

He couldn’t make out what the text said, but he could hear the comments around him.

“Happy 8th, little man!”

“Hey, hope you have lots of cake, dude! Celebratin’ time!”

“I can tell he’s going to grow up to be quite the looker, Bill. Course, his looker of a dad certainly is to thank for that, eh?”

Bill. He heard someone say Bill, but that wasn’t his name.

A deep laugh rang out from above him. “Well, well, I do appreciate the compliments. Yes, I’m certain that he’ll grow up to be quite the man. Just like his Pops,”

He tried to remember who that was. In his memory, he looked up, searching for the origin of that voice, of that name. There he was, his father. And there he was again, right before his eyes in front of that cabin door. Jack.

Alex gasped for air as his body surged once again. He remembered now. It wasn’t Jack, it was Bill. Alex’s hair fluttered in the air before it appeared to lighten up. It bleached itself a few shades lighter while lengthening to just shy of what would attract comments of having such long hair.

He looked up at his dad’s face, Bill’s stern eyes expressing worry as they maintained eye contact, or at least as much worry as a masculine face like that could make. How could he forget his own dad? With that mystery solved, he shifted his gaze to Thomas.

How did he know Thomas? He searched back, diving through his mind to try and remember just who he was, but couldn’t place him.

“Do you…know who I am?” Alex caught his breath and asked his dad, hoping to bring any sort of recollection of what was happening to the surface.

“What kind of question is that?” Bill’s mouth shifted upwards into a hint of a smile. He spoke in a much calmer tone than before, the warmth of his voice naturally soothing to Alex’s ears. “Course I know you, you’re my son.”

Yes, that was correct. Alex stood up further, his change having slowed down by now. “And do you- do you know as well?” He shifted his attention again to Thomas, who proceeded to step forward and slap a paw on Bill’s shoulder.

“Well, I don’t know what kind’a man I would be if I’d forget,” His voice, although much more gruff than his dad’s, had a similar effect of calming Alex down. “You’re my grandson, of course!”

Alex’s eyes widened as soon as those words passed through his ears. Memories came flooding into his brain. His grandpa’s house, his grandpa picking him up from school in his beat up truck, garnering attention from everyone around to see, his grandpa treating him to fast food while his dad was still at work. He remembered going up to Bill whenever grandpa would leave, asking over and over “When can I see grampa Bruce again, dad?”

“Don’t you worry, he’ll be back before you know it, Jacob.”

Reality felt like it snapped in two, and all three of them lost balance as their ears were filled with a shrieking ringing. A new story had unfolded in the world, a new life filled with new experiences. Everything changed to fit their new lives into it, and their bodies were no exception.

With a yelp, Jacob surged in size yet again, his face aging a bit more and placed him at a youthful 23. His dick shot out at once, becoming a sizeable 8 inches. Jacob couldn’t handle all the pleasure that was thrusted upon him, and came into his underwear. His body was slightly smaller and leaner than his dad’s.

With a twinge of competitiveness, Bill fell against the couch as his body swelled as well. He groaned as he easily gained another 20 pounds of muscle all over his burgeoning body, and clenched his teeth as his face hardened with age, skin growing weather beaten and gray hairs appearing along his temples. He batted at his dick inside his briefs, and flooded them with his cum before gasping for air.

Bruce was likewise hit by the changes, but it seemed he was hit harder than the other two. He stumbled backwards towards the door, slamming into it like a solid brick wall. With a grunt and a moan, he thrusted his hips forward as his fur grew more concentrated, his already massive size swelling with one last hoorah. Thighs once again smashing against each other, ass reaching for the door, arms coiling with strength. Even his muscle gut inflated outwards another inch before his jugs stretched outwards as if to overtake his belly. Bruce stared downwards in shock , watching the titanium rod that was his dick disappear from view under his monumental muscle tits as they grew once more. It looked as if he had bowling balls implanted into his chest. Hot, juicy bowling balls right on his body. A rumble caught in his throat before he turned his head to the ceiling and moaned. One hand grabbing at his dick, the other squeezing his pec, Bruce’s beard fluttered outward further before the color drained out of it. His beard was a stark white, and the color spread upwards to his eyebrows and hair. Clenching his huge jaw, Bruce’s face became weighed down by age and life, the creases and folds deepening, hairline receding just a bit further. With a titanic roar that would make any beast cower in fear, the kaiju grandpa thrusted his hips and shot load after load of piping hot cum. 

Snap!

Bruce’s load was so powerful, he had pushed himself into the door and broke it off of the hinges. Still lost in his pleasure delirium, he kept pushing until the snow gave way. Bruce lost his balance and fell backwards out the door and onto the ground with an “Oof!”

The other two looked at his naked body on the ground, hardly even realizing that the door was just opened. The frigid, snowy wind blew right in through the new opening, surrounding the three men in what could only be described as a tornado of snow.

Out of the snow, clothes began to take shape, flowing around the men before wrapping tight against their swarthy bodies.

Jacob swatted at the wind as a trendy T-shirt was thrown onto his body, big blue jeans covering his legs.

Bill shut his eyes as a leather watch wrapped around his wrist. He opened his eyes at the unfamiliar weight and stared at it. It looked as if the color of the watch was melting down the length of his forearm, overtaking his body and leaving him with a brown V-neck longsleeve. Light gray chinos surrounded his big legs, and he saw that the watch was now a similar shade of gray.

Having fallen naked out the front door, snow was quick to gather on top of the valleys of Bruce’s body before melting into a lilac button up shirt that did nothing to hide his brutal form underneath. The top three buttons were left unbuttoned to accommodate for his enormous chest, his chest fair fluffing about in the wind. A massive pair of black jeans swarmed his legs, only being able to cover those monsters by a miracle.

The wind died down, and the three of them remained where they were, panting and wondering what had just happened.

A shrill ringing sounded off somewhere in the house, startling the three of them. After a moment, they realized that it was a phone ringing in the kitchen, one that had certainly not been there just a few minutes prior.

Not one to let a phone go to voicemail, Bill forced himself to walk his way into the kitchen and answer it, slapping Jacob’s shoulder on the way. “I got it, help your grandpa out, would you?”

“Oh, yeah, sure thing.” Jacob hardly knew how to react, everything about their current situation felt so strange but he couldn’t tell what. He jogged over to the door to help up his grandpa as best he could, but it was considerably difficult considering how much he weighed.

“Thanks, son,” Bruce huffed as he was helped onto his feet. “Don’t know what got into this old man to go down like that.”

Bill picked up the phone to what sounded like a very young voice. “Hello, thank you for picking up, we were beginning to get worried that we lost your connection in this snowstorm,” Bill supposed it was the police station checking in on them after all the sudden snowfall they got, but this boy sure sounded young. Workers sure do get younger with every passing day, that’s for certain. 

“Apologies for worrying anyone down there, we are quite alright where we are. Got snowed in a bit, but it was nothing for the three strong men we got in here.” Bill glanced at his father and son, smiling warmly.

“Great to hear. Just to keep things safe and sound, we sent someone to go and investigate your area just to be absolutely sure that no damage was done or anything of that sort.” His words were very concise and matter-of-fact, Bill could tell that it was a human, but it almost felt robotic the way he said it. He mentioned that they had sent someone out for them, but he hadn’t given them his location. They were quite a ways out in the boonies, after all.

“You sent somebody out here? Hey, do I know you? We are way out of the way of any other residence, how did you get our location-” He could barely get out the sentence before the call was dropped. Bill held the phone to his ear for a moment longer, taking in the strange conversation, while the phone emitted a droning hum in his ear.

Bill looked back at Jacob and Bruce, the two of them chatting it up while pushing the snow on the floor back outside. Bill put the phone back on its stand with a quiet “Ga-chnk!”

The Bear Cap: Jonathan

This is dedicated to my friend @amysticbearperson​! He also convinced me to get on Twitter. Give me a follow, friends?

To support my writing, please buy me a protein shake on Ko-fi. My muscles will thank you.

Jonathan didn’t even want to go to the dinner in the first place. His parents kept telling him that the Hills’ son Tyshawn would be there, and that was why he needed to go, so that he and Tyshawn could catch up - plus, the Hills wanted to see how Jonathan had grown up.

Jonathan remembered the Hills - they’d lived next door when he was really little - and he’d played with Tyshawn a few times in the backyard, but that was the extent of their relationship. He knew it would be like most boring dinners with adults, talking about work and the stock market or whatever. And the Hills had gotten reservations at Charme, the fanciest restaurant in town, which excited Jonathan’s parents, but not Jonathan. He wasn’t a food guy by a long shot, and Charme was the kind of place that didn’t even have a menu - or at least not one you ordered off of. Whatever you were served, you ate, and Jonathan wasn’t yet old enough to have the option of washing it all down with wine. He’d asked his dad if Charme would have cheeseburgers or anything a picky eater would like, and his dad had laughed. Not a great sign.

“You need to dress nice,” Jonathan was told, and his first choice of a polo and jeans was vetoed as not formal enough. Charme required jackets. So, grumbling, he went back to his closet to cobble together an outfit from whatever stuff he hadn’t outgrown over high school. He’d never attempted to organize it, which resulted in a mishmash of clothes he liked, clothes he hated, clothes that didn’t fit, and clothes he didn’t even recognize. The black cap - found buried under a pile of forgotten sweatshirts and jeans - belonged in the latter group. It had the word “BEAR” on the front in tall white letters, which probably stood for some dumb anti-drug thing at school. He plopped the hat on his head while he continued rummaging for acceptable clothes. Most of the clothes were chucked into piles deep enough for Jonathan to bury his entire arm in, so the search became a game, as Jonathan tried to guess what forgotten item of clothing he’d produce from the heaps next.

Buy me a protein shake so I can get as big as this guy’s about to?

Eugene Meyers never liked high school. He didn’t like it when he was in it, and now that he’d graduated, he didn’t like running into people who’d experienced it alongside him, because for some reason it was still all they wanted to talk about.

So when Eugene saw Gabi Fortescue on the other end of the strip mall, walking toward him, he hoped she wouldn’t talk to him. Maybe she wouldn’t even recognize him. After all, his hair was down to his shoulders now, and he’d gained ten pounds, notable for someone as thin as he was. She was in flip-flops, so she was walking slow, and maybe he’d get to Serene Planet before she reached him…his hand was resting on the door of the shop when she walked past him.

Whew.

“Hey, we went to high school together, right?”

Shit.

Eugene turned around. “Yeah, hey.” He tossed a long blond bang out of his eyes. “I’m Eugene.”

“I remember you! We had Statistics together. I’m Gabi, if you don’t remember,” she smiled. She had a round face, big eyes, white teeth. Not the kind of girl who was going to rock a full tattoo sleeve, meaning she wasn’t Eugene’s type, but she was pretty enough that he hadn’t talked to her in high school. “You going into work?”

“Work…? Oh, no,” he answered. “I don’t work here, I just uh, smoke a lot.” He remembered Gabi as a good girl - not that good girls didn’t smoke weed, but she didn’t seem like the type - but if this statement scandalized her, she didn’t show it.

“Oh, cool. I work at the tanning salon down there. Funny since I don’t tan.” She raised a pale arm up to her side as proof, and Eugene laughed politely. “Are you in school?”

“Nah, I think college is…kind of a scam?” Eugene shrugged. “I dunno. I didn’t know what I wanted to do and it felt dumb to throw a bunch of money down the toilet while I figured it out. But I’m not working right now either, so… I don’t know, I just don’t really care. I probably should. I really like doing nothing.”

“Long as you’re happy,” Gabi smiled. “Hey, I gotta run before I clock in late, but it’s nice to see you.”

“Good to see you too, thanks for saying hi,” Eugene said, not meaning it. But he did appreciate that she hadn’t brought up high school.

The bell above Serene Planet’s door chimed as Eugene walked in. He was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of incense, which was burning in at least four places that he could see from where he stood. He went to the hippie shop so frequently that he’d gotten to know a lot of the staff, but the clerk today was a white girl with hot pink dreads that he didn’t recognize.

Eugene always looked at the hand-blown glass pipes first, which were such a temptation and so damn pretty. But he already owned several, and since he wasn’t working and his parents were starting to make threats about paying rent, it wasn’t a great use of money. So he poked around more, just killing time - the only thing he did nowadays - perusing the handmade clothes and weird tchotchke that were staples in every head shop he’d ever been in. He skipped over the Wiccan shit and then moved onto a glass case full of jewelry. Mostly navel rings, but there were a few other options, like a cool glass ring that caught Eugene’s attention. The inside of it was layered with orange, red, and yellow that made it look like it was literally on fire. “Dope,” Eugene muttered. He turned to the girl behind the counter. “How much is this one here?”

She flipped up the hinged counter and walked across the store to where he stood. “That one’s fuckin’ cool, right? It’s thirty bucks.”

Eugene’s checking account had $42 in it at present. Eh, worth it. “I’ll take it.”

She nodded and unlocked the case, retrieving the ring carefully and holding it as she walked back to the counter. “It was handmade by this really cool chick who lives up in the woods. She has like fifty chickens and just stays up there making jewelry. She’s my hero,” the shopgirl explained as she dropped the ring into a small plastic baggie.

“Oh, I’ll wear it,” Eugene said, so the girl took it out of the bag and gave it to him. As he wriggled it onto his bony finger, he noticed a sign taped to the counter under his hand. “First responder discount?”

“Yeah, we give 15% off if you’re a first responder. Just started doing it.”

“I’m a first responder,” Eugene said quickly.

Prints in the Snow

The biting winds grazed the youthful skin, lips cracking in the cold. In that moment, he felt as if he was frozen over; thoughts hazy, heartbeat slowing to a crawl. How he wished that was actually the case, as the man whom he was facing was staring back with those deep and solemn eyes of his. 

“I’m sorry, Jerett. You knew for a while now that this wasn’t going to work out. I wish one of us could have torn off the bandaid sooner than this, I’m sorry I let it fester for so long.” The man spoke up as his gaze softened before turning away. “I wish you the best in life.” He added that as he walked off, down the snow-covered sidewalk in those brown boots that Jerett had gifted him oh so long ago, leaving footsteps that tainted the perfect white canvas of winter, footsteps that Jerett didn’t want to acknowledge as tears began to cloud his vision into a blurry mess. The combination of his fuzzy earmuffs and the chilling breeze silenced even his own quiet sobs from himself, completely unaware that he was even crying to begin with.

A shrill fizzling and static noise filled the air of the office meeting room. The door opened and closed as Jerett glumly walked inside to find his fellow intern crouched onto the ground whilst fiddling diligently with an old cathode ray tube television. The man glanced up from his spot on the carpet before standing up to his 5’9 height once he realized who it was. A wide smile broke on his face as he turned to face Jerett, who was the same height.. “You made it!” He said with open arms as he walked towards his coworker before leaning in with a hushed voice “Look, I know we’re just interns here, but the boss is starting to notice that you’re showing up late, like, everyday.” 

Jerett quickly dodged his eyes around defensively “Alright, alright! Hey, I have important things to deal with, I am a busy guy!” He delivered that last remark with a bit of gravitas, expecting his coworker to laugh at it.

He just quietly returned to his fiddling without another word.

Unable to stand the awkward silence that he caused, Jerett rolled his head before closing the distance between the two of them. “Thanks though, Andy. You’re always lookin’ out for me. Once the boss man gives me my promotion and I’m fully integrated, I’ve gotta get you some donuts.” He was about to reach out and jokingly tousle Andy’s short chestnut hair, but stopped himself after realizing he may not find that funny either.

“Ok, all set up!” Andy stood up once again with a stretch and turned around, “And don’t mention it, man. You don’t have to do something like that. Besides, eating this early makes my stomach hurt…” He rubbed his stomach with an exaggerated gesture, which caused Jerett to laugh.

“What? Do you just skip breakfast or something?” He jeered incredulously. How could somebody not love eating some waffles and pancakes?

“Bingo, haven’t been eating breakfast consistently since,” He looked up, pondering it for a moment, briefly noticing what looked like a food stain on the ceiling tile that very roughly resembled a star with a drop below it.“...elementary school probably!” He looked at Jerett, but Jerett noticed he was looking a little above his eyes. “Y’know, you have some snow on your hair, dude.” Pointing up at his head of black hair that was a bit more curly and floppy.

“O-oh, yeah?” Jerett awkwardly brought his skinny hands up to his head, brushing off the snow as it landed on his shoulder and down his shirt. “Ah! Cold! Ooh it went down my back, man!” He jolted and reached back to wipe back with rapid movements as Andy laughed, walking past him and out the door. Jerett was left alone in the room with an old CRT TV and a cold back. He stood there in the silence for a brief moment before the door behind him opened once again, Andy peeking back in.

“Also, I can tell you’ve been crying. Did something happen before work?” Andy looked at him with an indiscernible expression in his eyes. To most, this might be uncomfortable, not knowing the intention behind the words, but Jerett knew that Andy isn’t the kind of guy to be conniving like that.

Breaking his eyes away from Andy, Jerett opted to stare at his shoes trying to decide if he should divulge his thoughts. The sight of his shoes brought back the imagery of those footsteps stained in the snow from that morning. He closed his eyes momentarily before choosing his words. “I got dumped this morning.”

“Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that man…” Andy slapped the wall with his open palm, startling Jerett. “She didn’t deserve you, big dog.” That wide grin was plastered on his face before he turned back around with a quick “I’ll see you at the party later!” as he rounded the corner and shut the door.

Jerett was once again alone.

“He…”

Jerett stepped out of the meeting room, his mind on other things, as a big box of paper plates and bowls with balloon graphics were thrusted into his arms.

“Morning, Jerett!” It was the accountant, Julie. She was a very kind woman to the two interns, and she was usually the one that ended up relaying the tasks and requests of the boss. “Love the outfit today, but did you know there was a stain on your shoulder?” Jerett’s eyes widened as he looked down at his shoulder, a wet spot definitely present on his nice dress shirt. “ Also, can you take this box to Richie for me? I tell you, I can never tell what he likes and doesn’t like for certain things. I mean, aren’t white paper plates enough? Why do we need blue with balloons printed everywhere, I-” She held up her hand suddenly as if to quiet herself. “Sorry, got out of hand there. I’ll let you go,” She walked off in the other direction, likely prepared to get 500 tasks out of the way. He admired her work ethic. She turned her head back and shot a quick “I really do love the outfit!”

Jerett smiled weakly. He wore his best clothes today since he was going to go out with his boyfriend once work ended, but it looks like that won’t be happening anymore. He’s already been in so many relationships, maybe it just wasn’t cut out for him. He moped around as he trudged towards the boss’ office. He knocked on the closed door, peeking through the carved glass that warped the view of the inside, but he could see the silhouette of somebody get up from the desk and walk towards the door.

Upon opening up, Jerett realized Richie was on the phone. He was fairly tall and looked a little imposing with his fancy full suit and his slicked back blonde hair. Once he begins talking, however, he becomes a lot less intimidating. His eyes lit up once he saw Jerett and the box, and quickly motioned him in as he continued to speak on the phone. He couldn’t tell who the boss was talking to, but it sounded like someone very close to him. Family, perhaps? A little strange to be doing that on company time, but it was a pretty lenient work space. He hardly needed to get stern or angry with the workers, as everybody did their part - and they did their part well, at that.

Jerett walked inside and shuffled off to the side where he stood, vacantly observing the little photos and trinkets that were strewn around the large office. “Yes…yes. Uh huh. Oh, I love that! Of course, those little tykes love their Harry Potter. A musical? Well I wouldn’t say I’m a musical expert but you can’t go wrong with Harry Potter. I’m sure it will be a blast!” He rattled on and on with glee to whoever was on the other side of the line.

‘You can indeed go wrong with Harry Potter’ Jerett thought to himself.

“Alright well, buy the tickets and I need to call you back later. Yes. Yes, some office work. We’re preparing for our little shindig. Okeydokey, love you much!” He made little kissy noises as he lowered the phone to its holder. With a KLAK, he snapped upwards and clapped his hands together. “So! These are the arrangements that you and Andy got for us, yes?” Before Jerett could interject, Richie was already continuing his spiel “Oh, why, they look lovely! Yes this will be perfect. You two make such a great duo, you know?” He was a fast talker, and Jerett couldn’t quite keep up in his already slightly glazed mental state.

“I-i…well-”

“Now how old are you two again? 22?”

“Um, yes. Yes, sir, I’m 22 and Andy is 21. We-”

“Mmm, a very young age indeed. You two must have done many summer classes and thinking ahead to reach this point so fast,”

Jerett’s brain felt like it was going to melt. ‘You were the one that hired us, weren’t you?’

“Nevertheless, we have a party to prepare!” Richie grabbed the box from him and set it on his desk. “You’ve done a great job already, Jerett, really! Go ahead and take care of some of those pesky emails back at your desk, the rest of us can set up the remainder.”

“Are you sure, sir? I can still get some things ready for us if you need.” Jerett was confused, there was still a lot of work to be done, no?

Richie shook his head. “No, no. Really! We can take it from here,” He ended that with a wink as he walked towards the door to the office and opened it for Jerett.

With a moment of hesitancy, Jerett passed through the door and began the long trek across the office to his cubicle. Why isn’t the boss having him do anything else? Emails really weren’t that big of a deal, he could do that anytime. Did he see the tear marks? If Andy could tell, surely they were obvious! He wiped his eyes as he sat down at his desk. Begrudgingly, he began to slowly work on his emails, opting to push out whatever other thoughts he had until he could have a grand meltdown in the privacy of his home. That sounded nice, the chance to just let it all out. That promise kept Jerett busy for the remainder of his work.

Some time passed, and it seemed like the party was all set up, but Jerett was none the wiser. He had completely enveloped himself in his work, having become the most productive he has been in a long while. A working machine! That is, until another coworker tapped him on the shoulder and notioned that the party was about to begin.

With a quick “Thank you!” Jerett got up out of his seat and briskly moved towards the meeting room he started in. It was a bit strange seeing the office empty like this, but once he opened that meeting room door, he was met with the lively faces of all of his coworkers. They were already opening their drinks and chowing down on their food. The mood was contagious, and Jerett felt his worries melt away as he began to laugh and get caught up in the excitement.

Plate after plate of food was had, many dishes having been cooked by their very own Julie! She was like Wonder Woman to Jerett. Having a loving stay-at-home husband, 3 kids, a lofty office job, and an incredible cooking skill as well! Many of the office members looked to her for fun conversations, advice, and even some occasional drama.

After some time had passed, Richie clapped his large hands together, creating a thunderous noise that shot through the noisy conversations and music that was playing. All heads turned towards him. “Attention everybody! I would like to thank all of you, yes, each and every one of you for making all of this possible! We have had an incredible year thus far and have made some real achievements and partnerships together. It is truly an honor to call myself the big boss around here,” This was met with laughter throughout the room including himself. Jerett also found himself chuckling as he reached up to take another sip of his fruit punch. Richie continued “I had our wonderful intern, Andy, set up this old and clunky machine. You all remember this piece of history? I was shocked to hear that someone as young as Andy knew about this stuff!” Andy rolled his eyes with a grin as laughter once again shook the room. “Now, we have a nice dvd here to showcase some nice moments and highlights from the year, if you’d please take a look!” Richie popped open a non-descript dvd case and carefully pulled out the disc. After slipping it into the dvd player, an old-school video began to play that looked like something a family would make at the end of their children’s school year. It was corny, but it was endearing.

Halfway through the video, Jerett looked around for a clock, not sure what time it was. Looks like it was 2:13, meaning they still had a good amount of time to kill before the work day was over. At this moment, Andy tapped his shoulder, startling him. “Hey,” He was whispering to Jerett, not wanting to distract everyone else from the video. “I’m sorry about your relationship, but…” He pointed up at the ceiling, to which Jerett’s eyes followed to a grimy mark on the ceiling tile.

Jerett couldn’t even make out what the smudge was in the darkness of the room. A particularly bright segment of the video lit up the space for a brief moment, in which he could piece together that it was something of a star with a little dribble at the bottom of it. Had that always been there? He never really went to meetings in this room, so he couldn’t say for sure. Leaning back over to Andy, he whispered in return “What? Is that supposed to mean something?”

“Make a wish.”

“What?”

“You make a wish on it! That’s why the big meetings are held in this room. It started off as a joke when Sasha was eating during a meeting and somehow managed to get food flung up to the ceiling.”

“How on earth did that happen??”

“I don’t know! But that’s not what’s important right now. Now it’s their ‘guiding star’ or something dumb like that, so they wish on it for things whenever they hold meetings here.”

They stared at each other for a long while, Andy waiting to hear from Jerett, Jerett still trying to process how Sasha got food up there.

Andy decided he waited long enough and spoke up again “Whatever man, you can make a wish on it if you want, that's all I’m saying. Just pointing it out.”

“Are you going to make a wish?” Jerett asked, raising one eyebrow.

“Hell no, that’s dumb as hell!” 

Jerett laughed a little too loud at that, causing some heads to turn back around to face them. Jerett’s face burned pink with embarrassment, and as he turned to look at Andy, he realized he was already sidling back up to the front. Looks like the video was coming to an end.

He looked up at the star and stared at it for a while.

“I-”

Andy was packing his things to head home for the night. He grabbed his backpack and small briefcase, then headed over to Jerett’s desk to see if they could walk out of the office together.

“Jerett! I’m leaving for the night, good work today!” Andy mentioned as he turned the corner into Jerett’s ‘space’ as he sometimes calls it. “You wanna come with?”

Jarett was staring blankly at his computer still. He lost his productivity train after the party and didn’t get much done for the rest of the day. “What? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can go out with you.” Jerett said that over his shoulder as he reached for the monitor to turn it off and gather his things. He realized what he said and sharply flipped towards Andy. “Wait! I-i didn’t mean it like that, I meant it just like I’d…” Andy was looking at his phone with his free hand. Did he not hear it? Or did he just not care?

“Hm? Did you say something?” Andy met his gaze with  that same blank expression. Yeah, he definitely didn’t hear what he had said.

Jerett gathered up his stuff and tidied his space, and the two interns were off to the parking lot.

“I’ve been thinking, you’ve been working your ass off lately, Jerett! We gotta celebrate that somehow, man! Did you want to hit up a movie or a, uh, something!” Andy was eagerly talking about doing activities, but Jerett was still overthinking what he had said earlier.

“You mean tonight?” Jerett looked over, slightly shocked. Andy never invited him to do things.

“Sure!”

“Just us two?!”

“I’m down for whatever. If you want to bring some buds over then that's fine by me as well. I just want to go do something fun!”

Jerett’s heart was fluttering. Was Andy…asking him on a date? Sure, he was a little bit younger than he was, and Jerett preferred guys a bit bulkier than himself - they were both quite skinny - but he couldn’t be picky, right?  

“No,” Jerett stopped himself. He was excited, and Andy wasn’t that bad looking of a guy. But he just got dumped that morning! It was a little early to go out with somebody else, surely. He needed some time to himself. “I think…I think I need some time to myself tonight.”

Andy lost a little bit of his gusto, but he was still upbeat. “Alright, no worries. I’m going to be free after work the next few days, so don’t be afraid to reach out!” They both made it to their cars and pulled out, heading to their respective homes.

Jerett’s drive was a solemn one. No music to assuage his feelings, the town a veritable winter wonderland covered in snow. He turns a corner.He just had to make it home and things will be better, he reasoned. He hits a red light and comes to a stop. He just had to think things out and give it time. The light turns that bright green, time to go. He drives in absolute silence for a moment. Turn left here. Right there. He turns another corner and-

The foot prints.

This street. These stores. These surroundings. Those. Damn. Footprints. He saw them with his own two eyes and nearly crashed his car because of how desperately he stared at them. He drove past them, his heartbeat rapidly rising. How! How are those footprints still there?! They should be long gone by now, the snow should have covered them up while he was at work! They must be from somebody else that just walked that way, yes! There’s no need to worry. And yet, why did he feel so terrible? Even if those foot prints were from somebody else, even if they had nothing to do with his now ex boyfriend, the fact remains. There will be nobody to greet him at home.

He’s alone.

Jerett stopped the car. His chest heaved in and out from his heavy breaths, his mind working overtime processing all his emotions. Should he feel sad? Angry? Defeated? Hopeful? He couldn’t shake the image from his head, the scene that played out over and over again throughout the day despite his efforts to avoid it.

Suddenly he remembered Andy. Jerett fumbled to open his glove box and whipped out his phone with his cold clumsy fingers, searching for Andy’s contact information. There! He found it. He had Andy’s address saved from when he first got hired and Jerett helped him move things into his relative’s house nearby. He punched in the address to gps and darted back onto the street, driving dangerously towards his destination.

The car stopped in front of a cozy blue house covered in snow with two extravagant windows overlooking the front  porch. He saw Andy’s car in the driveway, meaning he was home. Jerett calmed himself and breathed into his hands, warming them up to go outside. He walked up the driveway, through the empty garden in the front, and to the door. He didn’t notice the lack of footprints from Andy, or the new foot prints that he had just left.

With a shaking hand, he reached for the doorbell.

Andy was packing his things to head home for the night. He grabbed his backpack and small briefcase, then headed over to Jerett’s desk to see if they could walk out of the office together.

“Jerett! I’m leaving for the night, good work today!” Andy mentioned as he turned the corner into Jerett’s ‘space’ as he sometimes calls it. “You wanna come with?”

He noticed Jerett staring blankly at his monitor. Andy felt bad, the breakup was probably hitting him pretty hard. He wasn’t too good at comforting people, so he thought the wishing idea might cheer him up a little bit, but he’s not sure if he even made a wish. Jerett looked up at him.

“What? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can go out with you.” Jerett said weakly, returning to his desk to gather up his stuff.

Andy smiled before whipping out his phone and checking his text messages. None, again. He chuckled to himself a little bit at how little friends he had. Oh well, just means more time for puzzles at home. He realized he was pretty hungry, so he looked on google maps for places to eat after work. As he scrolled through countless restaurants that all looked so tasty, he changed his mind and told himself to just cook something at home if he was that hungry, after all, he already had way more food than he normally eats at the party today. He looked up from his phone and Jerett was staring at him expectantly. “Hm? Did you say something?”

Jerett looked a little relieved and went back to putting everything away. When he was finally set, they walked out to their cars.

Andy pitched the idea of hanging out sometime. They were both young interns and had a lot in common, surely they could get to know each other a little better and be better friends than just friendly coworkers! Jerett, although initially excited, turned him down. Andy kept the offer open and hopped in his car to drive home.

After listening to some tunes on the radio and a brisk drive, he arrived at his uncle and aunt’s house. He parked in the lonely driveway and passed through the sparse garden to the door, slightly smiling at the deep footprints he left behind him as he walked. After fumbling with his keys a little bit due to the cold, he managed to get the door open and he shut it behind him, breathing a sigh of relief.

Andy pulled off his shoes and placed his keys on a rack next to a photo of a happy couple, which Andy picked up and kissed before placing back down. It was a photo of his uncle and aunt. He grew up in an abusive household and had a bad relationship with his parents. After being cast out of the house at a young age, his relatives decided to help him out and give him a proper home to live in.

The damage had been dealt, unfortunately. While Andy was eternally grateful at the love and care that his uncle and aunt gave to him, he still felt the repercussions of how his parents treated him. Despite that, they did their best to live as a happy family, and they accomplished that until they passed away when Andy was 19. They left him the house, and Andy was proactive enough to take multiple extra courses during his schooling and work a part time job to save up money for emergencies. Thanks to this, he landed an internship at an office and has been making it work. He just wishes that he had more friends to share fun times with in a house that is cold and empty.

Andy pulled off his coat realizing how hot he was getting, and turned the thermostat down a bit. He continued to sweat, and he felt like he was burning up! He briefly wanted to take off his shirt, but it was a button up and would take too much work. He’d have to mess with his belt to take his pants off too. Andy moved toward the kitchen to splash some water on his face, but the moment he stepped foot onto the kitchen flooring, he passed out.

Crackling. The sounds of snaps and crackles filled Andy’s ears and wouldn’t stop. It happened irregularly, seemingly with no pattern of when he would hear it. He opened his eyes and felt a splitting headache. Slowly looking around, he slid  his hands on the cool kitchen tile to lift himself off the ground. His body felt cumbersome to move, almost foreign. Andy’s hands found their way to the countertop and there he rested to catch his breath. The same crackling sounds ringed in his ears, and upon opening his eyes to try and seek the origin of it, Andy saw something unbelievable. 

His hands were huge! He tried lifting them to inspect them closer, but he quickly lost balance and had to brace and catch himself on the counter once more. Opting to observe them on top of the counter, his eyes opened wide. Instead of the average piano hands he once had that excelled at typing - a helpful trait in the office - he had wide, stumpy, and calloused hands that looked like they would better fit a gorilla! His knuckles looked like they could punch through an iron maiden without so much as a scratch. On top of the size and mass of his new mitts, there were large veins wrapping the top of them, trying to reach towards his forearms. Before Andy could bring his eyesight up towards his arms, his headache exploded with pain, forcing his to slam his eyes shut with a grunt and a yell.

The pressure in his skull felt like it never ended. He grit his teeth with all he could muster to try and alleviate the pain, and after an agonizing moment, he felt like he was on the verge of something. The pressure felt like it was building to something, and he was desperately trying to reach that point so he could feel relief. He couldn’t take the pain anymore. With a yell, he leaned over the counter and tilted his head towards the air when the pressure reached its breaking point. With a sickening pop and a crunch, a lot of the pressure disappeared, while it felt like his very skull expanded in size. He couldn’t tell what just happened, and there were no mirrors to look, but before he could think another thought the pressure began to build up in his jaw and seep down into the rest of his body.

“Auuuughhh!-” Andy was in a full body pain now, any little movement searing to his very bones.

DING-DONG

That noise snapped Andy to attention. The doorbell? Who could be ringing his doorbell at this hour? Especially when he was going through…whatever this was. As he acknowledged that thought, his body rippled and he heard another snap as his spine stretched out longer, his torso looking a little bit wider. Did he just grow in height?!

He slowly shuffles towards the door, another spasm of growth traveling through his body. He braces against the refrigerator, using its vaguely reflective surface to look at himself. He couldn’t exactly tell how he looked, with how dark and blurry his reflection was, but it definitely looked wider. At the very least, he could see his new hands gripping the fridge and those looked somehow even bigger. They left huge smears on the surface as he sweat.

With a grimace, Andy felt the pressure heating up, burning in his jaw. As he brought his head to the cool surface of the refrigerator, he let out another gasp and a yell as the pressure flooded out of his jaw. He could see it this time. Looking at his reflection, his jaw was spreading outwards, his thin face widening into a boxy mass. The growth ended and Andy stared, mouth agape, at his new reflection.

DING-DONG

He was reminded that there was a mysterious visitor. He should just ignore it and let them leave, but something deep down inside of him told him he needs to open the door. He obeyed his consciousness and moved towards the door, gritting his teeth and trying not to pay mind to how different and uncomfortable his mouth felt. He could feel his pants tighter on his legs now, getting caught at the knee when he made each step.

He finally made it to the door and leaned against it to catch his breath. Never before did the trip from the kitchen to the front door feel like such a marathon. After a few large gasps of air, Andy looked up for the peephole, and realized after a moment that it was now at his chin. How much had he grown? Regardless, he looks through it, only to see Jerett behind the door!

Andy’s eyes widen, his heart races. What is Jerett doing here? Could it be…?

Andy begins to open the door, prepared to ask Jerett to come back another time, but Jerett had other plans. He shoves the door open and takes a few steps inside. Andy, shocked,  is pushed back a few steps further back into the house, holding out his arms to stop Jerett from advancing.

“What are..?!” Andy yelled in a louder volume than he intended.

“Andy, I-” Jerett’s face dropped as they stared at each other in the entrance of Andy’s house. They used to be the same height, but now Jerett was looking up at Andy, looking at his outstretched and giant hands before looking at his face. He didn’t look like Andy anymore, but his soul told him it was. In fact, his soul was telling him a lot more than that. 

Andy looked down at Jerett now, having to force himself to look past his huge paws. Why was he here? But more importantly, why did he feel like this? There was something stirring inside of Andy as they stared each other down. Was it nostalgia? Reminiscence?

To the both of them, their brains were telling them that they were more than coworkers. They were-

“UUNNGH!” Andy stumbled backwards, catching himself on a table and the wall. He could feel it, something was going to change soon! He saw Jerett begin to advance on him, and Andy was scared. He had no idea what was going on, but it was too much of a coincidence that Jerett was here. For all he knew, Jerett was the cause of all of this. Andy held his hands out once again, and mustered up a voice that neither of them have heard before. “Don’t come closer,” It was a deep and sonorous voice that thundered through both of their bodies and through the still air of the house. The pressure came back in full force and paralyzed Andy.

“GRRAAAAA-” It was like a guttural bellow of a beast, Andy hunched over the table; his backside towards Jerett who watched on, dumbfounded. After multiple grunts, groans, and pops, Andy thrust out his ass. In an instant, it rippled and exploded in size, growing to almost triple its original size. His new boulders that he will call an ass jiggled with mass as they tore through the seat of his pants. It looked unnatural on him, as it would on anybody, but that was about to change. 

Andy was grunting and groaning as rips began to be heard. He kept adjusting his stance as the growth slipped from but rear down towards his feet. Jerett watched in horror as his memory of the skinny old Andy was destroyed along with his pants, thigh growing massive and meaty, calves rising up like jiffy pop. Sock stretching and bursting as over-sized feet filled their confines to their breaking point, each joint popping and growing until even his feet looked masculine, something Jerett never considered possible. As Andy repositioned himself to stand with this wildly muscular lower half, his footfalls shook the floor he was standing on. Tatters of his pants and socks fell to the floor; Andy standing upright and turning to face Jerett.

His face was full of vitriol towards Jerett. At least, that’s what he wanted to express if Andy wasn’t so frightened of what was happening to him. He wanted to shout at Jerett to get away, to scream in rage; his body wouldn’t let him, no, his soul prevented him from such an act. Something was slowly being revealed in his brain, some puzzle piece that would surely explain what was happening right now.

“You need to help me,” Andy pleaded quietly, or as quietly as his booming voice could. Before Jerett could attempt to do anything, his coworker was once again enraptured in a bout of what he could only imagine was pain. Andy’s eyes shut as his torso bubbled up, widening into much more broad proportions. He clutched at his waistline as it began to swell over his belt, a creak signifying its straining; his arms were pulled away as his back snapped into perfect posture, his ribs expanding to a wider position, and his shoulders flying to either side of his body. He took in a large gasp of air that only seemed to fill him out even more, his body looking more like the fridge he once rested against rather than the stick he used to be. Andy’s eyes opened and locked onto Jerett’s, his brain fog beginning to clear up. He held up his arms as mass began to gurgle down them like a waterfall; deltoids becoming large pumpkins atop his shoulders, biceps filling with meat and muscle, triceps filling out the forms beneath it. It was evident these muscles were built for power, not beauty, at least in the traditional sense. Andy began to take a few huge steps towards his now puny looking “friend”. Large cable-like veins slithered down said muscles, trying to connect with those on his hands; as they passed the threshold between upper arm and lower, his forearms blew up with the same size as the rest of him, snapping his wrists into a much wider configuration to better serve his huge hands. Andy’s body was shaking and trembling with all the growth, his pants in tatters and his shirt impossibly tight over his very healthy, but powerful  body.

The sight of Andy slowly stomping closer and closer to Jerett made his hairs stand on end. It was terrifying, but he was also, ashamedly, incredibly turned on by the sight that unfolded before him. His mouth quivered, trying to say something, anything! Andy’s now intense eyes never wavered from their gaze. “I…” Another step closer. “I…” Another step closer, his body shook and gurgled again, neither of them knew another 5 pounds was added onto his weight. “I wished that I could have a boyfriend! I wished I could have the love of my life,” Jerett cried it out, and it began to spill out of him like a river. Andy’s eyes widened and he stopped in his tracks.

Jerett took a deep breath. “I wished it! I wished it on that stupid star, ok? You told me about it and I was so desperate to know if I could be loved that I made this wish!” Andy and Jerett’s eyes widened, the fog beginning to clear. “That wish turned you into this, and I’m sorry! How was I supposed to know that this was going to happen?! But it happened, and I’m sorry, alright? I…I’m sorry, but now I know exactly who you are,” Their eyes looked free of doubt, the answer revealed already to each other.

“You,” Andy rumbled in his new voice. “Have a boyfriend now. You have the love of your life

“I do,” Jerett repeated, aware of exactly what he was going to say. “And it isn’t you.”

The false memories flooded through their brains like an avalanche, they saw a new life unfold before them. They were coworkers, but Andy was not an intern. Jerett met his boyfriend, Julian,  4 years before landing his office job and they have been happily together since then. Jerett met with Julian’s father after the two of them got his permission to get married; Julian cooked an exquisite meal for his boyfriend and his father, he was a very well taught chef, after all. Julian’s father took a quick liking to Jerett. He said he could help him out with his job search. “How would you like to intern at an office job?” he asked.

“It is not you, Andy.” Jerett said with tears in his eyes. “I have the love of my life, it’s Julian. The one who taught him how to cook and the one who helped me get into this internship and guide me along the way, it was you. It was you, Rob.”

Andy had a sudden jolt as he remembered everything that happened as well. He remembered growing up, starting a family, having his first son, and watching him grow up. He saw his son grow into a man and get a mighty fine boyfriend. His son, Julian, was now a married man to another wonderful man named Jerett. Jerett was his-

“I’m your dad-” The words slipped out of Andy’s mouth before his body suffered the biggest shock so far. His body was big and strong, but he was still much too young to be a father. He knew that was about to get amended.

“HRRNGH,” With a loud grunt, Andy leaned back as his stomach launched out, his abs growing until they were convex, a true ab gut. The surging weight of his new belly snapped the belt clean off and broke free of its shirt prison. Buttons launched everywhere as his belly broke through, but most interestingly, dense brown hairs began to crop up on his stomach and spread like wildfire. The hair slipped down towards his legs, making his hips widened once more to support the burgeoning body. His lower half jiggled with one last growth as hair sprouted over the skin, his meaty feet gaining a good amount of fur as well. Andy groaned and scratched his ass as itchy and coarse hair sprouted over its great expanse.

Andy’s prodding arms moved up towards his stomach, where the hair seems to travel up his hands and over his vast arms. His eyes shot open and he looked down in confusion as he made a curious whine. Through the remainder of shirt - covering only his upper back and his chest at this point - both Jerett and Andy could see his nipples not only growing in size, but thickening up; his new nipples were poking through the shirt and would be noticeable on any shirt he wore. With enlarging arms, hair still growing on their expanse, he brought his giant mitts up to these new nubs and squeezed them. “OOOORGHHHH-” His head shot back as pleasure filled his body. He couldn’t see it yet, but from his nipples a surge of hair began to spread across his chest in a dense forest. As this forest began to take root, it needed a strong foundation to thrive off of. While still holding on to his new thimble sized nipples, he could feel strength growing beside them. Similar to his gut, his pecs launched outwards, instantly shredding the last remains of his buttons to reveal an incredibly hairy chest. But it needed to be bigger! 

It was a sizable chest, of course. Enough for anyone to say that he had a big chest, and enough for Andy to agree; but Rob did not agree. He only had a pretty boy’s plates right now.

Swell.

Rob needed them to be bigger.

Swell.

Rob needed them to be rounder.

Swell.

Rob needed true muscle jugs that nobody would be able to compete with.

Swell.

Rob needed a rack of huge muscle tits to go along with the suckable nips he was sporting.

Swell.

His pecs were awe-inspiring. They were perfect. His pecs swelled so big with muscle and fat that they sagged slightly over his gut. In fact, they stretched over his turtle shell ab gut and made it look miniscule in comparison

Rob changed his grip from tweaking his nipples to whole-hand gripping his new chest, and from his grasp sprouted a healthy amount of grey hairs.

Rob bucked his hips as his back flared and grew rounder with muscle, his lats flying outward to make him even broader, hair taking root even along the backside of him. Andy would have been frightened of this body, but Rob was obsessed with it. He put in the time and dedication to grow this shrine that was overflowing with testosterone.

To affirm that statement, Rob’s balls began to churn. He grunted lewdly as he widened his stance, and his balls stretched bigger and rounder just like the rest of him.

“HAHAHA” Rob was laughing in a near manic state as he felt up his body, the realization hit him of just how erotic his body was. His cock stirred in his crotch, coming to life and stretching out of his sight. His muscles were huge. His cock stretched longer. His body hair was intoxicating. His cock grew fatter. Rob’s traps began to bubble up, surrounding his neck in tight muscle. He groaned at this, his voice gaining a new texture; rougher, gravelly, he sounded like a foghorn who’s bellows could span the whole ocean. His neck grew thicker to fight against the bulging traps and become fitting for a voice as monstrous as his. His cock bounced up and grazed his hairy belly, leaking with excitement.

He couldn’t take it anymore! He gripped on to his new meat with both hands and started pumping, each pump bringing more than just pleasure. His body was aging. Skin growing tougher and more weathered, hair becoming more wiry. He was almost Rob, and Rob didn’t look like a baby. The pressure entered his skull again, but it was nothing to somebody like Rob. He grit his teeth and goaded it on as he pumped away at his inflated cock. His jaw became stronger and wider, brow stretching out over his eyes like a canopy. His skin became rough, wrinkles and lines appearing over his forehead and mouth, crows feet stretching from his eyes. The hair across his head grew longer as it swept back behind him, and his jaw grew scratchy as stubble quickly filled it in like spilled ink onto a page. His grunts caught in his muscled neck, he was so close. His stubble quickly turned into a full fledged beard, gray invading his chin until the lower half of his new beard was all white. His eyebrows fluffed into a more prominent position, and he knew it was time. As Rob came, Andy was no more. Rob poured everything out of him, all his doubts, fears, past memories, and it felt so good. 

In his afterglow, a whirlwind appeared around him, cloth materializing out of thin air and forming a blue polo shirt that somehow encased his massive body. New khakis were formed around his colossal legs, and a large belt strapped around his waist, holding up his slight belly. His excessively large bulge remained prominent in front of his pants. 

“Dad? Dad? Dad!” 

Rob snapped back into reality and looked down to see his son-in-law. He felt up his body, unsure of where he was. ‘Damn, I’m thick. Helluva body, huh?’ he chuckled to himself. “What happened, son? Did I space off while you were talking to me?” His voice taking on a much more gentle tone now that he was in control of himself again.

“Must have been! Your eyes were glassy like you were sleeping standing up!” Jerett retorted with a bit of a snarky edge, Rob and his family were jokesters, so it was nothing out of the ordinary.

“Well I’ll be…and uh, what was it we were doin’ again?” He asked in a bit of a sarcastic tone, but he actually had no idea what was currently happening.

“You were going to teach me how to cook? I wanted to learn some more techniques to impress Julian. Think you can teach me, say, your favorite dish at your restaurant!” Jerett was eager to learn, and he had been getting lessons from Rob for a while now! It was always a pleasure to come by and learn about cooking from a master.

“But, of course!” Rob clapped his hands together, creating a shockingly loud noise to emanate from it, usually startling anybody who heard it. His phone chimed, and he reached for the holster on his belt - pockets were usually too small for his hands - and saw that he was needed for something at the office. “Hold that thought, bud. Looks like they need something at the office. I gotta take this, but you can stay here and watch HGTV or whatever it is you want, I’m sure you can work the remote better than I can!” He said this over his large shoulder as he walked out of the house. The street was covered in snow, a smooth blanket encompassing his property. He passed by the bustling garden of vegetation and flowers in the cute little sunroom he built a year ago as he made his way down the driveway; past his son-in-law’s car and to his own.  He smiled slightly at the deep footprints he left behind him as he walked. 

Jerett popped his head out of the door and shouted to Rob. “Hey! Your brother just called the landline! Says his school’s home ec department wants to talk to you about a field trip to one of your restaurants!”

“Oh, for chrissake…I-” He glanced at his watch again before thinking about it momentarily. “Aw hell. That old fart is probably giving his students hell as it is, I might as well let them have a little fun. Tell him to call me later!”

Groaning and grunting as he sat his weight inside it, he looked at his phone and then his phone. “The second intern, huh? What could he possibly need help with now, wasn’t there an office party happening today?

Oh, you'd like a synopsis? Sure! "Dylan wanders into a menswear store in search of a makeover, and the salesman turns out to be extremely good at his job..."

And here's a little tease:

“I know you’re thinking you want a smaller chest, but it’s actually just the opposite,” Bernhardt said into Dylan’s ear. “You want a bigger chest. That’s what will look the best on you.”

“Really?” Dylan said unsurely, feeling bits of his flesh squeezing through Bernhardt’s fingers. “I’m not...I don’t know. I don’t want boobs like a girl.”

“That’s why you want them bigger. When they’re bigger than any woman’s, nobody will compare the two.” Bernhardt’s fingers were being forced further apart. Dylan’s shirt began to tighten at the base of his chest.

“But...that’s big...if they’re bigger than any girl’s…”

“But isn’t that what you want? The biggest, manliest chest possible.”

Dylan’s legs buckled. His eyes rolled back. “Yes, I...I do want a manly chest, as long as it doesn’t look like a girl’s-”

“We’ll take care of that. For now, just focus on your chest growing. Can you feel it?”
