Out of instinct he reached his arm across groggily to turn off his annoying ringtone - and that's when he first realized something wasn't normal. There was this weird feeling throughout his whole body - like a feeling of intense power, but different. He felt really good. Must have unlocked some sort of epic achievement in the game he'd been playing.
Since he didn't feel tired at all, he tossed aside his bed covers and crossed the messy room, miraculously avoiding stepping on anything (his guitar, game console and such being simply strewn about) as he made for his wardrobe, the first element of his morning routine.
"You're up early" called his mom through the door from the hallway "Don't forget you've got school today!"
"Sure mom" Eric called back, before gasping and stopping himself. Did he really sound like that? He must have slept strangely. Somehow his voice sounded deeper and more authoritative, but also (and he couldn't believe he was saying this) prettier - in the sense that, if he were to sing in a choir he felt like he would steal the show. After a short hesitation to make sure his mom didn't hear him gasp, Eric nervously continued his march across the room, shrugging it off and figuring everything will go back to normal in just a moment. Mornings could sometimes be weird after all.
Next Eric opened his wardrobe and began to stare down at the neatly folded piles of clothes as began wondering what to wear, but he was soon distracted by the full-body mirror on the inside of the wardrobe door. For some reason, not only did he feel unusually good, he looked good too. Eric had always been hot and he knew it, but it was as though all of the remaining imperfections on his young teenage body were totally gone. He looked more like he'd just been to the world's best stylist rather than just out of bed. Not only that, but somehow Eric felt his features seemed to complement each other better than they had before. His amber eyes and light brown hair seemed to sparkle when they moved. Almost in disbelief that he was looking at himself, Eric traced his fingers down his perfectly toned, powerful chest. He slid his underwear down his powerful legs and noticed that even his genitals looked better than ever. He also felt like he was somewhat bigger and taller in general. All that being said, he was still clearly the same Eric - only that all his best features were shining far brighter than before. It was such an amazing, overwhelming feeling, that Eric was disappointed he had to wear clothes to cover it all.
Turning back to his wardrobe, Eric jumped back a little in shock and let out a small shout as he realized it was suddenly completely empty! Even the dirty laundry around his floor seemed to have vanished. He looked around in disbelief. Did... he do that?
"Mom!" Eric called out instinctively. There was that amazing voice he now had again. "Mom, I don't have any clothes."
"Well of course not sweetie" came his mom's casual reply, as if it were the most obvious thing ever, "You don't need clothes! Since you have a perfect body you get to show it off."
That was weird. It seemed to Eric exactly as he could only have wished for. His mother wasn't usually one to complement him on his good looks anyway. He pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Turned out he wasn't.
"Oh, right" he called out in reply "Uh - yeah! Sorry mom, I totally forgot!"
"That's OK honey!"
Eric needed a test to see if his powers were real, or if this was some elaborate prank. He figured that he needed to do something that couldn't be a set up or a coincidence. Something impossible. Thinking of something random, he wished he could fly. Then, slowly, he willed himself to go up into the air.
"Holy... ****!" he swore as his feet lifted off the ground. He felt totally weightless as he willed himself back towards the ground.
"I can do anything" he whispered to himself, the realization dawning on him.
It wasn't enough though. Just one more test...
"Hey Eric!" barked his cool new Labrador Retriever dog, exactly as Eric had imagined his ideal pet, now casually walking into his room with his coat gleaming in the morning sun "You keen to come for a walk around the park later on today?"
"Sure... uh... Whiz, right after my sports practice" replied Eric, coming up with a quick name for his new pet "Wait - I can speak dog now?"
"You can do anything, remember?"
"Oh yeah" said Eric, smiling to himself. Today was going to be fun.  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
