Ben saw a package outside his apartment door one morning and stepped out in his T-shirt and boxers to grab it. He opened it and found a note:
You are the lucky winner of a batch of our specialty fragrances! Try our latest cologne and aftershave products. They’re as good as testosterone for your body!
Ben frowned. He hadn’t done a survey or anything, how had he won this? Oh well, he thought.
Ben was 24 years old and he was a low level accountant. He loved his job but neglected himself; he was 5’10” but he was only 125 pounds. He was gaunt in the face, even. He could have been handsome with some work.
He decided to forget it and go to work. As Ben settled into his cubicle, he heard a whisper from his friend and coworker, Ian.
“Man, have I got some good news for you, Ben!” Ian said excitedly. “I’ve gotten you set up on a blind date with my girlfriend’s friend. Her name is Isabelle and she’s a young lawyer at a local firm. She is gorgeous and you, my friend, are going to find out what love at first sight is.”
Ben smiled nervously. “When’s the date?” he asked.
“Tonight.”
“Tonight?!”
Ben spent the rest of the day panicking about his blind date. When he got home, he quickly cleaned up and changed into a nice button-down shirt and khaki pants.
He glanced at the box of cologne and aftershave. It couldn’t hurt, he thought. So he dug it out and applied it liberally.
Ben picked up Isabelle that evening and drove with her to a fancy Italian restaurant. On the way in, he noticed his clothes seemed a little tighter than usual. Were his biceps a little bigger? Ben dismissed the thought.
They talked about their jobs, their families, what they wanted in a relationship. Suddenly Ben thought he would be sick to his stomach. He excused himself and headed for the bathroom, where he threw up a lot.
As he went to wash up, he felt a weird sensation of change coming over him. Ben looked in the mirror in amazement as it happened. His muscles swelled considerably as his face cracked into a more ruggedly attractive form, with plenty of stubble, chest hair, a big dick, and a deeper voice. A couple of the top buttons popped off.
