From Textbooks To...
This story is a birthday gift I wrote for my writer friend @mrcavanaughtf. After letting him have it as an exclusive present for a few days and getting permission, I’m sharing it to the blog as well. This story was written with two separate paths of transformation and I have included both given my indecisiveness.
On the eve of his 27th birthday, Henry Cavanaugh was quite excited for the festivities that were planned. No, he wasn’t planning on having a lavish party with all of his friends and family. Given the threat of the pandemic and his busy job as a teacher, he was just extremely eager to have a day all for himself. The concept of just relaxing all day, playing video games, and not marking papers was just way too appealing for the transformation enthusiast to pass up.
However, upon a knock on his door, he had no idea that a fellow transformation writer had very different plans for him. As he greeted the delivery man and signed for the package, he grew incredibly confused as to what was held within the bulky box. With the jet black box and gold ribbon not providing any details as to who sent it, Henry curiously opened the box to discover the contents. While peering into the box, he was greeted to the sight of a weathered 50-lbs dumbbell and a used football. He couldn’t understand why someone would waste such lovely packaging on such ratty materials, so he curiously rummaged through the wrapping paper in search for some sort of note.
At last, his fingers finally scraped against the edge of an envelope that he then quickly pulled out of the box. The note itself was fairly ornate with gorgeous typography and a gold-lined envelope, impressing the man, yet leaving him more confused by the condition of the items sent. Eager to uncover the source of the gift, he pulled the note out of the envelope and tossed it aside before opening it up and reading it.
Dear Mr. Cavanaugh,
I heard it was your birthday and I was eager to share this gift with you. I have gone through great lengths to acquire these items for you, so I hope you enjoy this. With these two items, they offer you a brand new life to experience for yourself for the next year.
I’m well aware of your interest in both football and working out, so I have prepared two lives that would each appeal to one of these facets of your personality. I’m a big fan of free will, so I’ll leave the decision in your hands. Once you have decided, please rip the card in half and grab the item of your choice. Upon this sequence of events, you will find yourself transported into your new life for the next year. I am quite excited to see what you choose for yourself. I’m absolutely sure that you’ll enjoy either choice you made.
Here’s to a transformative 27th year!
Sincerely,
Soul-Controller
Now understanding what was going on, Henry grew excited about the possibilities. As he looked at the dumbbells and the football, he grew a bit anxious about trying to decide. He had a soft spot for all of the football jocks that he had often spent so much time writing his stories about. But on the flipside, he couldn’t resist the potential of becoming a completely buff gym-goer too.
Upon a few more minutes of contemplation, he made his mind up. Following the instructions, he ripped up the note, took a deep breath, and grasped onto the...
Dumbbells
As his hands grasped onto the weathered dumbbell, Henry grew more and more excited as he felt a burst of wind slowly surround his body. It was incredible and awe-inducing, but before he could react further, his body grew incredibly light-headed. Within seconds, Henry fell unconscious as his soul was pulled from his body and sent to his new one.
Despite what felt like seconds, Henry gasped for air as he forcefully returned to a conscious state. Worn out and gasping for breath, he couldn’t help but compare the experience to what he assumed being defibrillated would feel like. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he looked around the room he now found himself in. While he was previously in his living room, Henry was absolutely positive that he now found himself in some sort of home gym. Upon looking at the sea of expensive gym equipment, he knew that he wasn’t some beginner bodybuilder. No, this was the home gym of someone who made a career in a gym. Henry walked around the room, chuckling to himself as he stared at the dumbbell collection and took note of the missing 50-lbs dumbbell that was now seemingly laying on the floor of his living room. As he looked up from the equipment, he looked in shock as he found himself in a large mirrored wall that informed him of his new identity.
By the sight he saw in the mirror, Henry knew that his friend actually did provide him a life that he had always longed for. Staring back at Henry was the striking visage of bodybuilder and model Ryan Terry. For years, Henry had thirsted over the British jock and now he found himself in the body of his long-time crush! While looking his body up and down, his new face had a look of awe as he stared at the intense musculature he now possessed.
Henry couldn’t help but chuckle in his deeper voice as he realized that he now got the chance to live as Ryan for the next year. In his excitement, the new equipment he possessed from within his sweatpants quickly began to harden. This problem was not at all remedied when Henry began to throw up various poses that showed off Ryan’s rippling muscles. Now incredibly curious, he quickly began to throw himself into a workout to test out his new body. With his original body, Henry was still quite muscular, but as Ryan, Henry’s strength was at a whole other level. It was shocking just how much more weight Henry had to add to the barbell before he even broke a sweat.
After racking his weights and heading into the living room, he heard the sound of Ryan’s wife cooking up some food in the kitchen. With his pants still tented from just how hot he found his new body, he figured that he might be able to get some relief with his new wife. Henry was sure that she wouldn’t mind having a bit of fun upstairs and admiring his sweaty and jacked body…
As they headed upstairs, Henry couldn’t help but have a wide grin spread on his face. He knew that he’d enjoy being Ryan, but he wasn’t too sure that he would be willing to leave such a hunky body. Once the year is almost over, Henry might just have to ask his friend to see if he could get an extension in this body...
Footballs
As his hands grasped onto the used football, Henry grew more and more excited as he felt a burst of wind slowly surround his body. It was truly magical and exciting for the man, but before he could react further, his body grew incredibly light-headed. Within seconds, Henry fell unconscious as his soul was pulled from his body and sent to his new one.
Despite what felt like only seconds, Henry gasped for air as he forcefully returned to a conscious state. While he was gasping for breath, Henry couldn’t help but compare the experience to what he assumed being defibrillated would feel like. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he looked around the room he now found himself in. While he was previously in his living room, Henry was absolutely positive that he now found himself in someone else’s house. Upon inspecting the room, he found himself surrounded by countless football memorabilia. Interestingly enough, one of the glass cases that was supposed to house a used game football was now completely empty. At this point, Henry grew concerned about whether he was now just some football fan in their man cave or a player with an intense respect for the game. Eager to figure out, Henry searched in the pockets of his shorts and pulled out a cell phone. Quickly opening the phone with face ID, Henry opened up the camera app and learned just who he had become for the next year...
Reflected back to Henry was the adorable face of former Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky. As a smile spread across his face, Henry couldn’t help but blush as he realized that he was now in the body of a man that he had quickly gained a crush for. While looking into the camera and making a series of facial expressions, it was clear why Henry had taken so kindly to the football star. With his hunky appearance and approachable personality, he was quite the man to be jealous of. Despite his admiration for the player, Henry soon remembered that Mitch’s former team didn’t have the same feelings for him. He suddenly recalled an article he read a few weeks ago stating that Trubisky had left the team and signed with the Buffalo Bills.
Upon remembering this tidbit, Henry grew excited about the possibilities. Given that he was now on a new team, there was no real pressure about keeping up appearances. Henry could just be himself and make friends on the team naturally, rather than having to try to fit in with his teammates if he was still signed with the Bears.
As Trubisky, Henry was sure that he could make waves in the young jock. He definitely had the potential of becoming a major star in the sport, so it was quite unfortunate that he could never break through. With his mind beginning to run more and more rampant, Henry started to ponder if this is just what Trubisky needed to have his big break. Given Henry’s incredible interest in the sport despite living in another country, Henry was incredibly motivated to make an impact during his year-long excursion as Mitch. It also didn’t help that the thought of Henry leading the team to victory and possibly even a Super Bowl left him incredibly turned on.
Although he knew that Mitch had a girlfriend, Henry couldn’t help but begin to think about the possibilities of growing closer to another Bills player, Josh Allen. Henry also had a slight attraction to that quarterback as well, so his daydream fantasies grew more sexual. As he laid back in the chair, Henry’s hand moved underneath his pants as he began to fantasize more about trying to get intimate with the other hunky QB after a grueling practice. Surely, there might be some tension on Josh’s part as Mitch arrives as a new QB option, but if Henry could help alleviate that via some physical intimacy, he wouldn’t be opposed if it helped the team morale.
As Henry began to stroke his new equipment and fall deeper into his lust, he couldn’t have been happier with the new body he had been given. Based on just his daydreams alone, Henry knew that there are tons of possibilities while being in Mitch’s body. With each passing stroke, Henry grew determined to not let a single opportunity go to waste for the next year!
