Two brothers, Mark and Andrew, walked on the beach from the parking lot carrying their bags and towels around their necks. As soon as they walked through the gate and passed Sam’s concession stand, they were greeted by the statue of Kent, which had the following words inscribed on the base:
Welcome to Sam’s Beach;
Where we offer sun, sand and much, much more.
Touch my muscles and you’ll be feeling great;
You’ll leave here feeling better than you’ve ever felt before.
Andrew was the older brother, and he was always skeptical, but Mark always believed everything he read or heard.
“Oh that is so cool!” Mark said. “I wanna try that!”
“Come one, do you really believe that?” Andrew sneered. “Nobody grows muscular just by touching a dumb statue! Now, let’s find a spot to put our stuff so we can go swimming!”
The boys wandered around the sandy beach until they put their bags and towels on a spot and set up their umbrellas and lounge chairs.
Mark quietly went to the restroom, which was located near the gate, just a few yards from where the statue was. When he got out of the restroom, he wandered back to the statue of Kent.
“Wow… what a cool statue…” he smiled, as he gently ran his finger over Kent’s biceps. “I like his muscles, too…”
Suddenly, there was a shock. Like an electric shock. A spark came from the statue, and went through Mark’s finger!
“Hey! What was that?”
The statue of Kent started to glow a bright blue light, and the light surrounded mark’s body as well! In a matter of three seconds, Mark’s entire body started to glow a bright blue as well. Every muscle in his body started to expand all at once!
“Oh my gosh! What is going on with me?” Mark gasped as he looked down at his body.
His legs began to widen and thicken at the same time, as new layers of solid muscle formed on his quads and calves. His pectorals suddenly began to grow, as if they became balloons that had air pumped into them!
“This is amazing!” he exclaimed. “I must be dreaming!”
Mark’s abdominals popped out of his flat stomach, and formed a hard layer of muscle like armor. His back became like a large body of muscle, widening and forming into a mass of strength, which supported his increased mass and weight.
“What is this? I-I’m imagining this…. I… I…” he stuttered as he examined his changing body as he felt the sudden increase in strength and weight.
His shoulders pushed out sideways further and further, making them wider and wider, giving him that bodybuilder-look. He had lats that spread out like wings, whenever he spread out his arms. His arms thickened into thick pythons, becoming arms of strength, muscles and power. His biceps grew to 22 inches, making him feel overwhelmed with his sudden increase in physical strength!
“Ooooh….. Uuuuhhhhh… I feel the power all over my body! Uhhhhhhh!” he groaned. Then, he tensed, as he had an incredible urge to flex every muscle in his new, expanded body. He hadn’t grown an inch taller, but he had certainly grown a LOT wider!
Mark then turned and walked towards his older brother, who was lying in the lounge chair.
“Hey, Andrew…”
Andrew removed the sunglasses from his eyes and looked up at the overly muscular figure that was standing before him, blocking the sun from his eyes.
“Mark?” he wondered. “MARK?”
Andrew leaped out of the chair and jumped to his feat, with his mouth open wide.
“Holy-…..”
“How… How do I look?” the super-muscular boy said, as he extended his titanic arms. He looked amazing, since he was still the same height as before, but his muscles were just huge!
“How on earth…” Andrew gasped out loud. “What the hell happened to you?”
“The statue!” Mark explained. “I touched the statue and my muscles began to grow like crazy!”
“Say what?”
“See? I told you it was true!” Mark grinned, as he flexed his right arm, making a softball-sized bicep rise up from the top of his thick, muscular arm. “I’m SUPER strong now!”
Andrew turned around and stared at the statue, which was by the entrance to the beach. Would he touch it and see if his muscles would grow, too?
