Jay scrolls through all the various brands of shoes, until he stumbles upon a pair of Nike Air Max, which have a beautiful dark blue color and an amazing lightning design. The 12-year-old’s eyes sparkle, “those shoes are amazing,” he says to himself, “I GOT to have them,” so Jay selects the shoes, and his eyes widen at the price, which strangely has quotation marks, even the “place order and pay” bar has quotation marks. Jay simply shrugs, “kind of weird,” he says to himself, “I never seen a online store putting prices and other words in quotation marks. But man… the shoes are expensive… I just hope Jeff won’t kill me!”
After selecting his size, Jay moves the mouse to the “place order and pay” bar, as he clicks on the bar he hears someone walk in to the room, “Jay, what are you doing on my Laptop,” he hears his brother ask.
Jay turns around, “sorry, Jeff,” he says, “I should have asked, but when I saw the site of the online store, it reminded me how bad I need new shoes. So, I decided to order some.”
Jeff walks up to his desk and looks at the screen, a confused expression on his face, “I wasn’t going to buy anything,” he says, “I was… oh… shit,” he then says, when he realizes what his brother had done.
“Hu,” Jay asks, “what’s wrong? Is it the price? Well, you do owe me a birthday gift,” he adds with a grin.
Jeff is panicking, not really paying attention to what his little brother is saying, ‘shit, I have no idea what he has put in,’ he thinks to himself, ‘I got to stop it, before I get transformed into a pair of mindless shoes!’
Jay’s grin fades when he notices Jeff’s terrified expression, “Jeff,” he asks, “seriously, what’s wrong?”
Jeff moves a hand towards the mouse, “it is NOT a clothing site,” he says, his voice shaking from panic, “it’s…,” he continues, but suddenly he feels a tingling run through his body, “noooooo… it’s to late! I don’t want to be some mindless item!”
“What the hell are you talking abo…,” Jay is about to ask, when suddenly, before his eyes, Jeff’s clothes he is wearing disappear, leaving him naked, “the freak,” Jay exclaims, blushing hard.
Jeff turns to his brother, his face as white as snow, with fear in his eyes, “Jay… y-you… you idiot!”
“What,” Jay asks, sounding more than confused, “what have I done?!”
Before Jeff is able to reply, he feels his skin starting to feel weird, when he looks he notices that his skin is changing color, and what seams like lightning bolts spread over his body.
“What the fuck is happening to you, Jeff,” Jay asks, his eyes wide, backing away in fear.
“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT,” Jeff shouts, which is the last thing he says, before suddenly his mouth, nose, eyes and ears vanish, as his body shrinks raidly.
Jay is petrified, the young boy can’t believe what is happening to his big brother. The 12-year-old watches in horror as his brother’s body seems to morph, changing shape, and when Jay realizes what his brother is becoming, his eyes widen in disbelief, “n-no freaking way,” he breaths, when suddenly Jeff is no longer to be seen, only a shoe, which looks exactly like the ones he ordered, stands on the floor of Jeff’s room. Then Jay hears a crack and suddenly a second shoe in the same design appears right next to the shoe that once had been his brother.
The 12-year-old just stares in disbelief at the brand new “shoes”, a ping sound from Jeff’s Laptop causes Jay to look over, the boy notices a message on the screen: “transformation complete!”
Jay slumps into Jeff’s chair, his mind racing at what has just happened, “I… I transformed Jeff into… shoes,” he mumbles, “not just any shoes… he has become the shoes I have… “ordered”!”
He stares at Jeff’s Laptop, “wh-what the fuck happened,” he asks himself, “does… does the site have something to do with it,” he looks down at the shoes that once had been Jeff, then back up at the Laptop, “I… I got to know what has happened.”
Leaving the “shoes” where they are, Jay moves to the Laptop, he grabs the mouse and moves it to the “x” to close the “site”. When he closes the site, Jay finds himself staring at a screen that has all of Jeff’s information on one side, and on the other, he sees a 3D-image of the “shoe”. Jay then notices a tab labeled “manual” and he decides to read it.
After reading the manual, Jay’s eyes are big as saucers, “so… this is a reality alteration program,” he asks himself, “able to transform anyone and anything into anything imaginable? Holy crap!”
Jay turns to stare at the “shoes” in disbelief, but then the 12-year-old grins, “he… oops,” he says, “sorry Jeff, I really didn’t know. But apparently you had planned to transform into some piece of clothing, so, you shouldn’t be mad at me!”
The 12-year-old gets to his feet and walks up to the “shoes”, picking the one up that had been his brother, grinning at “it”. “I am not sure if you are still in there, Jeff. Or if you can see or hear me, but I have to admit, you do make amazing shoes. Even though the thought of wearing my own brother is creepy, I feel compelled to try you on!”
Jeff meanwhile is just screaming at Jay to transform him back, that he hates being shoes, and how dare Jay transformed him against his will, even though he is aware that it is not Jay’s fault he ended up as shoes.
