Sixteen-year-old Jacob had never been very good at sports. Standing only at an average height at 5-foot-6 inches tall, he was always considered too short and too skinny to amount to anything spectacular. He never managed to gain any muscle and he was too small for football or basketball. He was too clumsy and too slow to play at anything else, so maybe a “safe” sport like soccer would be good, right?
That night, Jacob had the strangest dream. Rather than dreaming about him playing Fortnite or World of Warcraft, he had images of him running down a big, green soccer field along with his teammates. He wore a red and blue jersey and he had on his brand new, big, size 13 soccer cleats! Not only did the cleats fit his feet perfectly, but his legs had grown as well. They weren’t any longer, but they were much, much wider… with muscle all over! Jacob ran down the soccer pitch, outrunning all the other players, dribbling the black-and-white ball between his feet. Then, when he approached the goal, he aimed and fired, sending the ball past the goalie into the net with one mighty kick from his thick, powerful and very muscular leg! The crowd went nuts and his teammates cheered him on.
That’s when Jacob suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, laying on his bed, wearing long, white athletic socks and having his new cleats on his feet!
“What the--?” he wondered out loud as he leaped from his bed and turned on the light in his bedroom. He quickly walked over to the bathroom, where there was a large full-body mirror which hung from the inside of the bathroom door. What he saw there in his own reflection in the mirror was amazing!
“Holy frick! My legs! My legs are… HUGE!” he gasped, as he studied his reflection in the large mirror, before bending down and studying the real things with his hands. He ran his fingers over his much-inflated quads and his bulging calves in utter disbelief. He thought he was dreaming.
Gone were those short, skinny legs he had walked around with from the day Jacob was born. No, now the boy was sporting legs with some serious MUSCLE. His quads were at least twice as wide as before, sticking out by at least 6 inches from either side of his legs, bulging with massive muscle and making him look like a professional rugby player. Each front of his leg had a large lump of muscle sticking out as well, running from his waist to his kneecap, like a series of bundled vertical muscle cords, giving him that look that professional bodybuilders have. Then, when he turned around, he saw how big and how solid his calves had become. They looked as big as melons that were sticking out from the back of his legs. Not only were they large and solid, but they were heavy as well! Finally, his calves were completely covered in a network of veins, like those of pro soccer players! Wow!
Just then, his father walked into the bathroom, with a big smile on his face.
“Ah, there you are! Ready to go to your first soccer practice, Jake?” he asked the boy. “I see you already got your cleats on!”
“Uhh… Sure, dad!” Jacob replied.
The two stopped at a restaurant to have a bagel for breakfast before they headed to the soccer field. There, Jacob walked on the field, not knowing what would happen next. How would he do compared to the other kids?
