Seth walked out of the store, holding the new magical die he'd just bought. This could really make all the kinds of changes he'd ever dreamed of! He was wary of the risk involved, though. The chance that he'd get screwed by this die was just as good as that of it making his dreams come true.
Seth was a boy just starting seventh grade. He was a skinny guy who had not yet hit puberty, at a time when the rest of the boys in his class were starting to gain deeper voices, think about sex, and work out to get big. This meant that even though the rest of his classmates hadn't yet grown significantly bigger than him, or at least not enough to physically hurt him, he still was mocked and ostracized.
He had one good friend, Phillip, who unfortunately was even worse off than him. Phillip was a total geek where Seth was just average.
Seth began thinking about what to wish for with the die. He wanted to be safe, and not wish for something that would be disastrous if he rolled low, at least to start. He could do something simple, like wish that he had started puberty, or that he was older, or handsome, or popular, or buff and athletic. He could try it on Phillip first, just to work out the kinks. He could wish something against the boys bullying him.
Or maybe he could go big. Maybe wish that he was a grown man with some dream job like professional football player, or model, or movie star, or singer. Or maybe wish that he was a college-aged hunk and genius with a bright future in whatever path he chose while he lived it up as a playboy for now.
