Chad walked into the kitchen and placed the bag of cat food into the closet, just as Simon, the black cat came up and rubbed up against his basketball shoes.
“Hey there buddy!” Chad grinned, as he reached down and scratched Simon’s head. “Such a good boy! I bought you dinner!”
Chad was hungry from walking to the grocery store, so he opened the fridge and looked to see if there was anything for him to snack on while he waited for his mother and Daniel to come home from soccer practice. He didn't want to eat too much, knowing that his mom would prepare something for dinner soon.
“Hmm… Let’s see… Pudding? Soup? Crackers?” he mumbled to himself as he surveyed the contents of the refrigerator. “Nothing light for me to munch on? Aha!”
Chad showed a big grin on his face when he discovered a plastic bag in the side door containing some small cut-up baby carrot sticks.
“Good ol’ mom! She buys these especially for me!” the young basketball player chuckled as he pulled the bag out of the fridge and closed the door behind him. He then opened the bag and reached down with his big hand, pulling out about five small carrot sticks. They felt cold in his hand, but that was okay.
He walked up to the sink where he turned on the water and put it to the cold water setting. He then held the carrots under the water for a few moments until they were thoroughly rinsed.
“These carrots are so nice and clean… So Chad and become big and mean!” Chad mused as he then wandered over to the couch in the living room, while still holding the carrots in his hand as he grabbed hold of the TV remote. He pushed each carrot in his mouth as he crunched down on it with his teeth.
Three minutes later, Chad had finished eating his carrots and he had washed them away with a glass of water. He was watching the news on TV while playing with Simon, his black cat, when he was suddenly overcome by an odd tingling sensation in his arms and chest, specifically in his muscles!
His biceps began to feel a bit stiff and hard, like he had just come from the gym after a grueling workout! Then, without any other warning, both biceps hardened and began to swell up, together and at the same time, growing about half an inch thicker than they were before!
“Hey! Holy smoke! What the heck is the stiffness in my arms?” Chad said as he rubbed his arms. They were aching all over.
Next, that aching feeling traveled down to his chest!
His pectorals began to ache tremendously! They grew stiff and hard, like he had just completed several sets on the bench press! Then, he felt his pectorals push out a bit!
“Whaa!” Chad gasped as he stood up and almost tripped over Simon as he ran to the bathroom. There, he gawked at his reflection in the mirror, which confirmed what he had just felt. He had gained some muscle while watching TV! How did that happen? Would that happen again? What caused it?
