The Magic Shop

A Magical Start to a Trip

added by BearlyThere 6 days ago BM O

Barry left the magic store, green eyes twinkling in amusement. He doubted the little app actually worked, after all magic wasn't real and if it was, he wasn't going to find it from a random little shop in the back end of a mall. He'd stumbled into it while waiting for his Boyfriend Felix to come back from the bathroom; A result of some baaaad mexican from a food truck they stopped at a few hours ago.

Barry huffed out a laugh. He'd *told* Felix that place was bad! It was all over the reviews online! But noooo, his goof of a partner hadn't wanted to hear it, wanting instead to 'experience the mystery and danger!' for himself! Well he was certainly experiencing something right now, that was for sure. He'd been like that ever since the pair decided to go on this trip, a cross country romp across the states which they'd been planning for the better part of a decade. They'd hoped to use it to see the sights, have fun, and hopefully find a nice place to settle down.

So far all they'd found was a stomach ache.

"Well, that and a supposedly magical app...' Barry muttered to himself, raking a hand through his burnt orange faux hawk and settling down on a nearby mall bench to wait. He figured he may as well play with the silly thing while he waited for Felix. Tapping at his phone, he selected himself out of curiosity, wondering what the app would generate.

'The fat irish man sits on a bench, reading his phone.'

Barry pouted. Rude. So maybe he was a bit on the portly side, but the app didn't have to say it like *that*. Granted he was pretty chunky all things considered. Standing at roughly 5'2" and with a rather fuzzy body, he often joked that all he needed to be a dwarf was to loose a foot or two of height. And get a bigger beard of course. His fuzzy burnt orange one wasn't quite at the level of the majestic fantasy craftsmen quite yet.

He was curious as to how the app even knew his size, or even that he was irish. Did it scan him with its camera? He didnt look particularly irish besides his hair and eyes, seeing as his skin was fairly tanned. Advanced AI looking up his info maybe? Would be a bit weird for a magic shop.

Slightly more intrigued, he turned his attention back to the app. Maybe there was more to it than a silly gag?

Curiously, he tapped the sentence, editing it.

'The fat irish dwarf sits on a bench, reading his phone.'

He already had the thought on the brain so he figured it would be a decent test.

After a moment, he looked around, not noticing anything different. The little flicker of intrigue and hope in his chest began to die out , until he blinked and realized his perspective was a little lower than it had been before. His eyes widened, and he looked at himself in shock.

In the span of an instant, he had shrunk significantly, losing almost a foot in height, which only accentuated his already chubby figure. His beard, once relatively short, had burst out into a long, intricately braided mane of hair, reaching down to his midbelly. Opening his camera app, he saw his nose had become larger and more rounded, while his ears were now ever so slightly pointed. His clothes remained unchanged, but for all intents and purposes the rest of him had become a proper dwarf!

Barry couldn't believe his eyes! The app really did work! He turned back to it, seeing a new sentence already forming.

'The dwarven man looks at his phone in awe'.

The possibilities flew through Barry's mind, a large grin growing on his face. With this little app, he could do just about anything! The question was, what would he do next?
