“Put it on, dude. Let’s see if it works!” Michael said to his boyfriend, Freddie as the two boys were walking home. Luckily, the two lived just a few blocks away from the small strip mall where they discovered the strange store where they found the weird Hapsburg Amulet.
Freddie was the skinny guy of the two where Michael was shorter and more muscular. Freddie was on the track team, and he liked to run, where Michael had just started working out at the local gym, which was only a block away from their apartment.
The two seventeen-year-old boys were only a block away from the apartment building when Freddie managed to fasten the chain around his neck, holding the amulet firmly against his chest. Nobody would ever be able to remove it.
“How is the amulet, dude?”
“It’s great! I wonder if it really has magical powers. Maybe I can change you!” Freddie giggled.
“Ha! If you can make me grow or increase the size of my muscles, then it would be worth it!” Michael laughed.
Just then, the amulet began to glow in a bright, blue light. At the same time, a bright, blue light glowed around Michael’s body. Michael stopped walking for a moment as he closed his eyes and moaned softly.
Freddie noticed how Michael had stopped and he turned around, noticing what was going on.
“Michael? What’s going on?”
Michael stopped glowing as he opened his eyes and stared at his pal.
“The amulet! It did something! It has given you weird power over me!” Michael stuttered. “I feel it!”
Freddie just shrugged.
“Oh, great! Maybe now, you can grow into a twelve-foot giant! Haha!” Freddie just blurted out.
“UHHHHHHH!” Michael moaned loudly as his body began to expand in every way as Freddie looked on in horror. He saw his friend grow into a giant right before his very eyes! Within seconds, Michael shot up, his legs, his arms and his torso expanding rapidly, until the boy was literally standing about twelve feet tall, making him twice as tall as he was a moment ago! Luckily, his clothes grew along with him, growing in direct proportion to his body. Michael ended up standing there, before Freddie, as a giant!
“WHOA! What the freak happened?” Michael gasped, looking down at his smaller boyfriend, who barely reached his waist.
“NO WAY! No freaking way! The amulet WORKS!” Freddie shouted.
Michael reached down with his huge hands and scooped Freddie up, setting him on his massive shoulders. The giant teen then strolled over to the apartment building, where he set Freddie back down by the entrance.
“Umm… You’re too big to fit through the door, but maybe I can get you into our room with the amulet?” Freddie said. “I want you to be in our room, right now!”
The towering Michael vanished from sight and popped up standing in the living room of the apartment where he waited for Freddie to unlock the door and walk in.
“THIS IS AWESOME!” Freddie cheered. “I wonder what else we can do with this thing?”
Freddie looked up at the giant, 12-feet-tall Michael, who barely fit inside of their apartment with his head almost touching the ceiling.
“Well, try some other things. Maybe… shrink me back to normal?”
