I was asleep dreaming of being a superhero. I collected comic books
and was 16. Quite sad. I always wanted to have super strength and to
fly. You know, like Superman. But there was no such thing. I'd have
huge muscles, be really tall... maybe a big dick and some sexy
features wouldn't hurt. But it was never going to happen. I would stay
a 5ft 7 nerd forever. I embraced comics as they took me away from
this. I had thought of every little detail. I'd be 6ft 3, 200
something pounds of rock hard muscle. It would be great. But it
wouldn't happen.
I was woken by someone. I sat up and saw a man and a woman. Both about
5ft 11. One had an eerie glow surrounding him. He spoke, his voice
echoing of the walls:
"William Johnson, you have been chosen to join the League of Justice.
We are a superior race dedicated to protecting mankind from the
tyranny of evil. We have been dormant until a threat was discovered
minutes ago. And we need you to help us stop it." I lay there taking
it all in, then I asked:
"Me? Why me? I can't fight! I'm tiny!" It's true, I was too skinny.
And not too bright either. I was a comic nerd, not a smart nerd.
"No matter" Said the woman as she pulled out a small vial. "In this is
your answer. It will turn you into a god, a hero, a saviour. Drink
this, and you will become one of us" She handed me the bottle and they
both disappeared. I looked into it. I contained a glowing green
liquid. I mulled the idea over, and decided it was just too much. I
set the tube down and went to sleep.
Well, tried to. Finally I sat up and grabbed the bottle. I opened and
looked at the liquid. I thought of having huge muscles, amazing gifts
and saving the world. But I also thought of the pain, the danger,
knowing everyday could be my last. I didn't know what to do. Drink it,
and become a god. Or leave it, and go back to my SAFE life. I was
torn. Should I drink it? No, it's dangerous. But it would be
brilliant. And dangerous. I didn't know what to do.
So I drank it.
I felt it drop through my throat and enter my stomach. I sat there,
waiting for something, anything to happen. Nothing did, so I slumped
down in disappointment. Suddenly I felt sick so I sprinted to the
toilet. I fell to my knees and threw up into the toilet. What was in
that vial. I felt a burning all over my body and felt myself get
bigger till I had to bend down to reach the toilet. I fell back
against the toilet. My legs seemed further away. I felt an agony in my
legs and saw me glow. I was paralysed and couldn't move. I saw my
thighs and calves expanding and toning. My feet got bigger till they
were at least size 11. My thighs were huge and layered in veins and
thick, strong muscle. My calves supported my legs about 7 inches off
the ground. My once baggy pyjama trousers were now on the floor in
shreds. The pain spread to my stomach and I saw my fat disappear. 8
small lumps began to rise of the previously flat surface. This grew
and thickened till they looked like bricks attached to my belly. My
lower abs sculpted and toned. The sensation moved to my chest and I
saw my vision become blocked by two large slabs of muscle. They were
big and smooth and stuck about 3 inches of my body. I felt my left arm
tense up. It spasmed and tense. I saw my arm widening and growing till
my biceps and triceps became big and defined. My forearm became bigger
than most people thighs and veins began to pop up on the surface. My
shoulders broadened and formed my body into a large V. My right arms
was last. It grew to be the same size as my left and felt just as
strong. I felt my whole body tense up and the glowing became stronger.
I felt a strength enter these muscles which made me feel... strong. My
neck muscles expanded to accommodate the growth and the feeling slowly
faded.
I tried to stand, but my legs felt fuzzy. I put my hands on the toilet
to support me but as soon as I applied pressure the toilet slammed
through the floor breaking. The feeling in my legs slowly returned and
I stood up and looked in the mirror. I was taken aback and fell
against the wall, leaving a large hole in it. Was I take strong? I
looked at my reflection. I was suddenly a huge muscled god. Just like
my dreams. I looked at my face, still the same. Then my face began to
glow just like my body did. Once it was finished my face had changed.
My eyes were now a bright blue as opposed to my usual brown. My hair
had gone golden blonde and messy. I saw that all my previous zits and
blemishes had disappeared. My jaw had become squarer and more
masculine. I noticed something in my throat. It was at first a small
lump, but this extended and grew through my skin. It was my adam's
apple. Showing that my voice had deepened to fit my manly body. I
realised I was now stark naked. Which helped as the next change
happened. Thin black hair sprouted all over my body and eventually
stopped leaving me covered in black.
Taking this all in, I pondered what to do next...
