“Whatever you wear,” the man said. “You will always be prepared. If you wear a swim suit, you might find yourself on a beach. If you wear a football uniform, you might find yourself playing football like professionals. It might also change the world around you to make what you are wearing make more sense. It’s all up to you really.”
Adam couldn’t wait to tell Jeff. He’d be so impressed.
“Oh Adam,” the man said from behind the counter. Adam felt fear grip him. He hadn’t told the man his name.
“That pearl is powerful,” the man said. He stared into Adam with an eerie sense of impending horror. “It can change reality, and it is unpredictable. Be careful what you do, the pearl has a mind of its own and and wicked sense of humor.”
Adam turned around and scurried off. He rushed home with a mild sense of euphoria and pure fear.
The moment he reached his door, he began shuffling through his closet and Jeff’s. Jeff had been a wrestler in high school, and lived for nostalgia. Jeff pulled out his wrestler’s singlet and put it on.
Instantly his body filled the large suit. He was filled with raw muscle in every part of his body. His chest was an immovable force, and his arm were unstoppable objects. He put on one of his own suits (sitting unused in his closet since his boyfriend dumped him). His muscled body became clean and flawless as he could haunt around like a proper gentleman.
One thing it didn’t do was get rid of the smell of sweat. Apparently his wrestler outfit had created enough sweat that the suit didn’t get rid of it. He grabbed some extra clothes and went to the bathroom to shower.
There he basked in his own glory, peering over himself in front of their dorm’s small mirror. He was amazing. Adam stepped into the shower and took the time to clean his entire body. When he exited the shower, he heard the door slam shut from outside. Jeff must be home.
Adam was giddy with excitement. He had to show Jeff. He just had to. Adam loved to surprise people, so pushing the clean clothes aside, he crept towards the door. He would open the door and reveal himself, hopefully shocking Jeff or at least turning him on.
As Adam touched the doorknob, he felt a slight pain from his chest. He swung open the door, and the pain vanished as he looked out at an odd sight.
