Jared was sitting on the floor before several history books in the library. He was getting bored reading all about World War II and he started to long for something more fun to read. He stood up and tried to put the book back on the shelf, which was higher than his head.
Suddenly, a sharp tingling sensation hit his legs again. For a few seconds, everything around began to shrink. As he looked around, it was as if he was moving farther away from the floor. Then, when he looked down and then straight ahead, he realized that the shelf where the book belonged, was right in front of him!
“Huh? Did I just have another growth spurt?” he wondered out loud, as he slid the book back on the higher shelf.
As soon as he put away the book, everything seemed to grow again. It was as if he was shrinking back to his old, original height. The feeling was strikingly like riding an elevator, only much more slowly. He looked down, and he was his original height, again.
“Uhh… I think Drew’s playing with my height, again!” Jared sighed as he walked around the aisles.
No sooner had he reached the sports section, and he suddenly found himself standing before a large bookcase filled with thousands of comic books!
“What? This isn’t the sports section, but… I love reading comics!” Jared just shrugged, as he took a few comics off the shelf before him.
While he stood there, reading a few superhero comic books, he admired the artistic illustrations of the big, muscular superheroes depicted in the colorful pages of the comic books, which he held in his hands.
Drew sensed what Jared was doing, and he could “see” what Jared was reading. In fact, Drew had the ability to see, hear, and feel everything that Jared was seeing, hearing and feeling as well, even from a distance. He saw that Jared was glancing over the pictures of several superheroes, so he decided to have some fun with that, while using his amazing powers over Jared’s body.
Drew realized that he could not only change Jared’s body, but anything touching him or around him. So, he quietly transformed the clothes that Jared was wearing. Jared’s t-shirt transformed into a tight tank top, leaving his arms and shoulders exposed. His blue jeans changed into Spandex Lycra shorts, which covered his legs down to halfway his quads.
Next, Drew decided to give Jared the physique of a superhero, very quietly, while he was reading his comic book. He commanded Jared’s muscles to grow, while Jared remained unaware of the changes. Jared’s pectorals grew thicker, deeper and wider while his arms bulged with big muscle all over. His torso sported ripped abdominal muscles and his quads grew twice as wide as before. Lastly, his calves and hamstrings bulged with raw muscle as well, doubling in size. Jared wouldn’t notice anything, because Drew didn’t allow it.
A minute after the growth spurt was finished, two boys, around age 14, walked past Jared. They noticed how muscular he was, and they commented on his physique.
“Wow, look at that guy! He’s huge!” the first boy said.
“Hey, mister! Are your muscles for real?” the second boy said to him.
“Huh? What?” Jared wondered, as he closed the comic book in his hands.
“Hey, big man! You have big muscles!”
“Yeah, big dude! Like, can we rub your biceps and feel how hard they are?” the second boy asked.
“Oh, uh, sure…” Jared just shrugged. When Jared raised up his arm, causing a huge ball of muscle to swell up, it dawned on him that he had become a lot more muscular than he was a minute ago.
Both boys reached out a ran their hands across his huge bicep.
“Dang! This dude is a hulk!”
“Thanks, mister! You look like a superhero!”
The boys then walked off, staring at Jared the entire time.
Jared continued to flex his arm when he realized how his clothing had changed and his muscles had grown considerably, without him realizing it.
“Whoa! How did I get so big?”
Drew could only laugh from a distance as he pondered what to do next.
