Tug-of-war
To anyone watching the tug-of-war it wasn’t a show of strength, it was a show of school pride. The testosterone level on the beach was at an all time high and growing. The glow of the statue was almost undetectable. Bill could feel the charge going through his body and onto the rope. The show of strength by all the participants blocked out the feeling of the electrical charge coursing through the rope and into their bodies. As Bill looked down the row guys holding the rope He could see everyone’s muscles expand. Backs were widening, shoulders grew higher, biceps grew bigger and thighs became thicker. The board shorts of all the guys were being stretched to their limits. The tug-of-war grew more intense the bigger the participants became. By the end of twenty minutes neither side was willing to give in to the other so the game was a draw.
There weren’t any losers but a lot of winners to this game. The entire offensive and defensive squads were a lot bigger and stronger than before.
Bill released his grip on the statue and the electrical charge to the rope stopped. The glow of the statue diminished as well. At that moment all the participants of the tug-of-war dropped the rope they were holding. All the guys looked at each other as if they hadn’t seen each other before. Their muscled bodies glistened in the noonday sun. They touched each other’s bodies, tracing the vascular systems that covered them. The skintight board shorts they wore had noticeable bulges in them. To the unaware it looked like everyone was wearing a protective cup in his shorts. But these were larger than any cup could hold and they were getting bigger.
No one seemed to mind when the bulges started to lengthen down one leg of their shorts. They were all too busy posing for each other to notice. Both the Offensive and Defensive squads were nearly twice as big as they were before they came to the beach. They all looked like they were in collage instead of high school. The biggest of them all were Dan and Bill. After two growth sessions with the statue Dan, having gained twenty pounds of pure muscle was the biggest of them all. The close second in size was the new and improved Bill. After his three sessions his growth was the most dramatic. The additional thirty pounds of muscle increased his height as well as his weight.
“I think the new coach will want to have you on the team.” Dan said as he approached Bill.
“Yeah I think my dad will want me on the team.” Replied Bill.
“Your Dad is the new coach?” The confused Dan asked. “You never told me he was your Dad.”
“You never asked.”
