Suddenly, I found myself in another place that was darkly lit, several muscular and hairy men walking around in just jean shorts. They weren't wearing any shoes or socks, which to my surprise was fresh and new. Continuing to look around, I saw a muscular bear tending to a clean glass with a fresh and dry white towel.
Not really sure of where I was, I walk up to him in curiosity. As I approached the bar, in full clothing, the bartender looked me up and down, checking me out. Once I reached the bar, I leaned over and asked him a question.
"Excuse me sir, can you tell me where I am?"
The man looked at me strangely, surprised by the question, but shrugged his huge and rugged shoulders.
"Are you ok?" His deep, rugged voice completely matched his physique.
"Yeah... I am fine. I know why you are asking me that, wondering how did I get in here if I am here alone... right?"
The muscular bear just nodded.
"I was dropped off here by a friend of mine as a birthday surprise. He brought me here blindfolded and told someone at the front door to take off the blindfold once I was inside. He also mentioned that I wasn't to leave until I had myself a good time."
The bartender's eyes widened, then he grinned toothfully. "Oh, your buddy brought you to the right place. You are at the Full Moon and we always have a good time here. Your buddy must have talked to Barry the bouncer out front. This must be your first time to a club like this huh?"
"Yeah, I never even knew that there was a bar called the Full Moon! What kind of clientelle do you cater to precisely?"
"Look around you son, I don't know why you are talking like that. You are safe with the rest of us here and we don't ever let our members leave alone unprotected from those damn gay bashers that love to stalk our patrons. The thing is too, they are always scarred off by us in the end."
I think to myself So, the clown put me in a gay bar. I don't know what the big deal is, I have been to plenty on my own.
"Yeah... why is that?"
"Oh ho! You really are a newbie here and for a minute I thought you were just pulling my tail. If you want, I can show you a good time, probably even better than Barry."
"Sure, that would be great! What is your name?"
"I am also named Barry, Barry Martin. Just who would you be there?"
"Oh sorry! My name is David, David Martin. Pleasure to meet you!"
"Oh no... the pleasure is mine David. You and I are going to have a really good time together."
As soon as the greetings were over, Barry touched his earpiece and told them that he needed another bartender to come up to take over for him for a while. Barry then waited by the door to the bar for someone to show up. The new bartender was slightly less buff and hairy than Barry, definitely less attractive overall.
"So where are we going and what are we going to do."
"Oh... you and I are going to go somewhere more private so I can give you your birthday present."
My eyes widened with him being so forward, but I wasn't about to stop him from giving me something he wanted and hell... something I wanted! Barry took me to a door that led into a private hallway. As he led the way, he held my smaller hand in his large, manly hands, which could have made me melt into butter if he even started to caress my hand. Once we got to where we were going, Barry took out his ring of keys and unlocked the door. Being a gentleman, Barry let me walk in, in front of him. In the gigantic room we were in, it was decorated like a cave. Along the wall in front of me, was a large four post wooden framed bed that had ornate carvings in them. Looking at each post, I noticed that they each told a slight story both in picture and in words. The writing though was in another language and I could not read it if I even tried. Just above the bed was a large skylight that allowed the moon's light to flow into the room, creating a very different sort of ambiance.
"This is a really nice room Barry. Do you live here or something?"
Still looking over the room, I don't realize that Barry changed in appearance slightly as he walked closer to me. Seeing Barry I saw that his muscles enlarged slightly, his teeth elongated a bit and sharpened while not forgetting to mention that he even grew slightly hairier than when I first saw him, but my mind didn't register that there was any difference being so slight.
"Yes I do live here and thank you for the compliment. The whole club is my home since every man needs his own den."
As I keep looking the bed over, trying to understand what was on the posts, Barry sat on the edge of the bed where I had been standing only seconds ago.
"I see you like my bed. It is very old and I have owned it for quite some time. Do you want to know what the story is?"
Continuing to look at just the artwork now, I noticed that it depicted a normal and average man changing into a beast. "Sure Barry, I would love to know the story."
Barry sat down on the bed and patted the space next to him on his right, wanting me to sit by him. Having nothing to lose, I sat by the big man and rather enjoyed being as close as we were to each other.
"The story goes: One night each year a special event takes place with the moon and the stars. On that night, if a man lays in this bed to bask in the glow of the full moon, the man will have the power to shape the rest of the world for what he wants it to be. On that night, he will be transformed into anything that man desires and live long enough to see his desires fulfilled and to enjoy them."
"Wow Barry, sounds like a really cool story. So, now what are we going to do?" I finished with a big grin.
"We are going to fulfill what the bed posts say. I have done it already shortly after I came into possession of the bed and now, my birthday gift to you is to allow you the same benefit. I have been looking for a man to share my life and my power with for a very long time. You my friend are lucky because there is something about you that makes me want to share this with you. If you refuse, I will just make you like one of us and you will be free to take on any man as your partner. So... what do you say?"
