Clay grinned and stretched. It had been a rough week at summer
football practice. His body ached. It would be good to relax on
Pleasure Island. He had had a rough time with injuries, and was
afraid that the coach might cut him from the team. Still the season
hadn't started, and he still was on the team. He stared out at the
water as the ferry boat steamed along toward Pleasure Island. He put
thoughts of injury and getting cut out of his mind.
"Hey, Clay, what're you going to do first?" Trav asked.
There were a lot of guys that Clay knew heading to Pleasure Island
this weekend. It was a bit odd, there didn't seem to be any women on
the boat. He was sure there would be plenty of women on the island
though.
"Uh, I thought I'd use this coupon for a free massage," Clay answered.
"Cool. Me, I'm heading for the life modeling class," Trav said with a
wink, "I'm going to sculpt me one hot chick."
"Trav, who calls a woman a chick anymore?" Clay answered shaking his
head.
"Oh, you're going to the modeling class?" asked Neil, a squeaky voiced
nerd, "I signed up for that course online before we left."
"Life models? Those are naked girls! Sign me for that!" said Hank.
Clay just shook his head. The whistle blew loudly as they approached
the dock.
Fifteen minutes later, entered the building marked SPA, and soon was
lying naked on the massage table in a sweat lodge type room. He had
expected a masseuse, but a masseur showed up wearing only a tight
Speedo. If the massage wasn't taking place in a sauna, Clay might
have freaked.
"Yur furs time?" the big guy asked as he donned rubber gloves and
began to massage an aromatic oil into Clay's back.
"Uh-huh," Clay said, "Least ways in a sauna. Had plenty of massages
in the football training room."
"Ha, ha. This vill be different then. You'll feel tot-tally
transformed by the treatment," he said in stilted English.
"Sounds good to me."
Meanwhile, the guys who had signed up for the Life Modeling Class were
getting an earful and eyeful. They watched an introductory video
showing that Life Modeling on Pleasure Island meant remodeling live
models into whatever you wanted. They underwent a treatment that
essentially turned their bodies to living clay. One guy was molded
into a buxom beautiful lady, another guy became a Great Dane, another
was sculpted into a super hunk, and one guy was made into an abstract
sculpture.
The video ended with everyone staring at the screen with their mouths
gaping wide.
"This has gotta be a hoax," said Hank shaking his head.
"Gentlemen, today's models are," the emcee said with a flourish, "On
the big screen."
Trav was already out of his seat and planning to leave when he saw
Clay's image flash on the screen.
"Whoa, that's Clay!" he said sitting down.
Neil let out a nervous giggle.
In addition to Clay, another team mate Tom, Assistant Coach Rod Penn,
and Neil's frat bro Keith were among the dozens of guys who thought
they were getting a "Life Changing Massage", but were in fact going to
be Life Models.
"Hey, I want, Clay!" shouted Trav.
