Nate was an average 30 year old man who worked in an office building and lived an overall quiet life. He was reasonably tall at a few inches over six feet tall. He came to work most days a few minutes early, compulsively clad in slacks, a collared dress shirt and black dress shoes. As he walked to his desk, he noticed a new woman had arrived, the new employee, Victoria. He walked over to introduce himself.
Wearing a nice blouse and a skirt, with long curly blond hair was Victoria. Nate greeted her and she turned around, smiling.
"Hi, I'm Nate."
"I'm Victoria. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too," replied Nate.
They got to talking and discovered they had many things in common. Over the next couple of weeks, Nate and Victoria became fast friends. They went out together to dinner and a movie and then afterwards went back to her place. Unfortunately, Nate's biggest fault is he can be oblivious at times and in this case it was gonna hurt him big time. You see, Victoria thought this was a date. She had fallen hard for Nate and thought he felt the same way.
As the night was winding down and they were sitting on her couch in her apartment, Victoria leaned over to kiss Nate and he pushed her away almost immediately. Feeling humiliated, Victoria got up and walked away from the couch.
"I'm sorry, Victoria, you got the wrong idea about me. I...I don't like you that way," he said.
Victoria's heart sank. She turned to him. "So, you just lead girls on...play with their hearts like they're nothing, is that it?"
"I didn't mean to...I like being around you, I like you as a person, it's just that I'm gay...I'm sorry," replied Nate.
"Yeah, right. I curse you Nate. Every time you get aroused from here on out, you will be transformed into a beast of my choosing. I CURSE YOU!" she cried out.
"What? Is that supposed to scare me or something? You're nuts! I'm getting out of here. And for another thing, I don't believe in curses!"
"It doesn't matter!" called back Victoria as Nate left the apartment.
As Nate walked to his car, part of him did wonder, what if it was true and if so, what would he turn into?
