Liam was browsing the app store on his phone one day. Mostly, he was just bored and looking for something to do. Liam was a little self centered at times. He had thousands of followers on his social media apps. He didn't have much of a job besides the odd food delivery shift. Social media was kind of his life. Liam was about 32 years old, very tall, and quite the handsome guy. He kept his hair short and neat, and it was a natural, jet black. He was around 6'3", not muscular, though not really skinny or bigger either, just slightly toned. He lived with his partner of seven years, Caleb.
Caleb was around 28 years old. He was about average height at around 5'10". He was pretty handsome, though more average in comparison to Liam. Caleb was fairly skinny, he had a naturally tanned tone to his skin. Caleb worked full time, and managed to make enough money to support them both. He didn't mind that Liam didn't work much. He was okay with being the major earner in the house.
Caleb was at work still this afternoon, so Liam was in a bored out of his mind type of mood. In his app store searching, he found a new photo editing app. He was intrigued by it. Normally he didn't care to edit his photos. He wanted them as authentic as possible. He thought today that he would give this app a go for a bit. Just for fun to see what it could do. He tapped the install button, and started it up. The app was called Face Changer. It seemed like a silly name, and totally not creative at all, but he still felt like he should try it. It seemed fairly simple, you take a picture of yourself. The app has many filters to choose from, so you would choose a filter. The app would load a preview, and if you decided you liked it, you could save it. Liam skipped reading all of the terms and conditions like we all do when we use an app. He just wanted to get started and he never really bothered with that stuff anyway.
Liam took his picture and flipped through the filters. There were so many! There were different categories too. Fun, People, and Types were the available categories. Liam went through the types categories first, to see what it was like. He saw filters for Nerd, Body Builder, Twink, Bear, Otter, and even more. He thought he'd preview one first, just to see how it looked. He tapped the Bear filter first. The app was working on his photo. Not much longer, and the filter had finished loading. The picture looked like his face, but definitely his face if he was a bear. In the photo, his cheeks had rounded, and his normally clean shaven face, was covered in a thick, dark beard. Liam laughed at the things he could do with this app. He thought it was pretty hilarious. He decided to scrap that one, and try another filter. He selected the twink filter. He watched as the app changed his face in his photo again. His face was thinner, softer, and smoother in the newly edited photo. His hair had changed too, it became a fauxhawk, and even the colour changed to blond.
Liam thought this app was pretty great actually! He decided to save this one so he could show Caleb later. He fooled around with the app for a while longer. He hadn't saved anything new yet. He thought he'd wait until Caleb got home, so he could show him the app working. As Liam played around with the app, changes were starting to become apparent in his face. His face was beginning to look more like the twink filter he had saved earlier! Unknown to him, his face thinned out, his clean shaven look faded into smothness, and his face softened. Liam hadn't noticed what had happened to him, and Caleb would soon be home...
