Ben enlisted right out of high school. And just a couple of weeks ago completed basic training. He joined partially out of pride for his country, and partially out of it simply being the best option available to him. He couldn’t get into college, and he couldn’t get any sort of decent job out there in this economy, so the military just sorta made the most sense. He found being in the military tough, very tough, but he could handle it.
After a few weeks of being sent to base camp he was told he would be told he would be given an experimental drug to buff him up. He was told it would be likely he would even get significantly taller, though the details ended there.
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous as he was lead into a sterile looking room wearing only a patient gown. Inside the room were several doctors, a bunch of fancy looking machines, a hospital bed, and a large mirror on the wall, which Ben guessed was a one way window. “Please remove your gown.” One of the doctors instructed as he placed little monitoring devices over his body.
“Ah, what? Is, is that really necessary” Ben nervously asked.
“Yes.” The doctor replied back, a bit annoyed sounding more than anything.
“Alright then…” Ben proceeded to remove his hospital gown. He lay down on the bed and the doctors hooked him up to the machine. He closed his eyes took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Suddenly he was alarmed to find his arms were strapped to the bed.
“W-what!” Ben exclaimed. His immediate instinct told him to try to get out. He pulled at the arm straps as he quickly found his legs strapped down as well.
“Calm down! This is for your own safety!” the doctor barked at him.
Ben stopped moving. He tried desperately to calm himself, he couldn’t stop think of what sort of horrible drug it was they were going to inject into his blood. “Wh- what is it you’re going to do to me!” His question went unanswered as he saw them inject him with god knows what.
