The voice had belonged to an equally impressive athletic-looking man. Just like Dr. Raymond this man was naked as well, which wasn’t that surprising considering they were inside a room that looked exactly like a gym’s locker room.
Dr. Raymond for a second tried to cover his body in shame until he realized that he no longer had anything to be ashamed of. In fact, he should be showing off an impressive body like that. Oh, how he wished he could just strut around the streets naked, exposing his beautiful assets to the whole world constantly!
“So you’re here...” The other naked man had said. His body was completely shaved smooth, including his head. Apart from the black tattoo on his back, his whole body was pink and hairless. While he looked like a bodybuilder, something about the whole aura he showed off in his movements made Dr. Raymond feel like the unknown guy was submissive. “...You sure were taking your time. They’re getting a bit angry.”
Dr. Raymond wondered who were ‘they’, but his whole thought process was too busy admiring the naked man. “Damn, two hunks like us naked in a locker room...” Dr. Raymond thought to himself. “...We look like stars from a porno!”
The man approached Dr. Raymond. “I was getting a bit worried, you know... I thought you were trying to... You know...”
Dr. Raymond wondered if the man knew his athletic self. If he was so worried could he have been in some sort of relationship with his alter ego? “It’s ok.” Dr. Raymond replied. “I’ve never felt better in my whole life.”
It wasn’t a lie, but the man laughed as if that was a good joke. “I’ve always admired your positivity. That was why I felt in love with you in the first place, even though we haven’t been together for too long.”
Dr. Raymond blushed. “Woah! This guy and the athletic me were... No, we are in love!” He thought. His whole mind was racing. He didn’t even know this guy’s name yet and most probably they had already fucked more than once! “Ok, don’t blew it, act naturally...”
Dr. Raymond didn’t know what to say. The man seemed sad for some reason. The intellectual-turned-stud wanted to reassure the man that everything was fine, but he just didn’t have enough information about whatever was worrying him.
“Maybe I could pretend I have amnesia... Although that would make him worry even more...” He thought. “Maybe if I just show a little bit of affection through body language...” So instead, the horny doctor resorted to lean in close for a kiss, just like he had tried to do with his reflection a moment ago.
The man leaned in too, but in the last second he hesitated. “You know very well we can’t do that here... We would get in trouble...”
“So what you say we get out from this place and continue this at home?” Dr. Raymond proposed.
The man was still looking at him sadly. “And how are we supposed to get out from here?”
Dr. Raymond through rational analysis formulated an elaborate conclusion. “Through the exit.” He stated.
The man bursted out laughing. “Oh, you’re so funny...!”
Dr. Raymond was confused. “What’s so funny about that?”
“Well, you know it very well...” The man stopped laughing and looked at Dr. Raymond hard in the eyes. “There’s no exit.”
Suddenly Dr. Raymond got a very bad gut feeling. His scientific mind had been inquiring about it, but he had been too distracted by his new muscle mass to analyze those suspicions that have been nagging him since he woke up.
He had suspected, and deep down he had always known, that this was no gym.

Back in Dr. Raymond’s original reality, Jerry the rebellious teenager couldn’t believe what he saw when he went inside his uncle’s house.
Rather than being refugiated inside his lab like always, his uncle was in the living room... And the grown-up obese man was giving jumps of pure joy like a little kid.
“Yes! I have no idea how it happened but I got out from that horrible place! It’s a miracle!”
“Uh...? Uncle Raymond? Are you feeling alright?” The teenager believed that his crazy uncle had finally ended up going completely nuts.
“Raymond?” His uncle’s eyes went wide with surprise. “Woah, I haven’t heard that name in ages! Does this mean I’m not subject F47-50 anymore...?!” The fatso was energetically looking around his new surroundings with wonder.
Jerry rolled his eyes. Yep, his uncle was definitively a nutcase.
