Weak

 

 

 

Will flexed and posed in the gym mirror, his pump was incredible today and he couldn’t help pull off his shirt to get a better view of his muscles. His chest and arms looked huge as he flexed them, he looked over at the gaggle of yoga girls nearby and none even glanced his way. Will lifted up his arm and changed his pose to show off more of his gains, he grimaced slightly as he got a whiff of his rancid armpit, perhaps he should have put some deodorant on this morning. As he flexed a younger, shorter, leaner man with a higher pitched voice came over to him, he was wearing a gym uniform and was frowning.


“Sir you have to wear a shirt while in the gym, it’s our policy” The young man sighed, clearly not the first time he had said those words.


“Why? You jealous of the gains? Fuck bet you wish you could have a piece of this action. Now piss off fairy!” Will said mockingly as he positioned himself in front of the twink and flexed for the women again. This time he did get their attention but for all the wrong reasons, his arrogant and obnoxious, homophobic attitude being more than a major turn off as the women flipped their middle fingers at him and turned their backs to him. 

Strange

 

Detective Marcus Kane had spent a year infiltrating the criminal empire of Vinny "The Bull" Russo, a 300-pound mafia boss whose muscular bulk and slovenly habits made him a grotesque titan of crime. Marcus, a wiry 35-year-old with a chiseled jaw and a talent for blending in, was thwarted at every turn by Vinny’s paranoia and loyal goons. Marcus had managed to find a way into the organisation as a low level dealer but had found it impossible to get any closer to Vinny. Marcus had hoped tonight he would have got a glimpse of the titan as he hovered in the back of the warehouse, even if he could overhear part of a conversation it would be something to report. However, Marcus was left frustrated and disappointed once again as he was dismissed by a goon along with a rucksack filled with gear.

Wedding

 

Jack mulled around outside smoking a cigarette, he was surprised he was even a groomsman as he barely spoke to his sister these days. She probably just felt obligated to make him a part of the wedding but it was still awkward for Jack, he didn’t know the groom or his friends. That’s why he was mainly standing alone or finding excuses to go and have another smoke. Jack was admiring the beautiful gardens around him when a stressed looking bridesmaid dashed towards him.


“Oh thank god! You’re Jessica’s brother right?” She panted


“Yeah, what’s up?” Jack said taking a drag of his cigarette.


“Jessica is freaking out! I’m not sure if its cold feet or anxiety but she is a mess. Please you have got to calm her down! She is talking about cancelling the wedding!” The bridesmaid didn’t even wait for Jack’s response before grabbing his arm and pulling him along.


Jack tried to explain that he didn’t think he would be the best person but the bridesmaid was too stressed to listen, she just led Jack to a little room where Jessica had been getting ready.


“Here Jess I found you brother, I’ll go see if I can find Jenny.” The bridesmaid was already out the door before Jessica or Jack could say anything.


Jack turned to his sister who was visibly upset, he was unsure of how to comfort her and she seemed disappointed that he was the person that had been brought for support. Nevertheless Jack tried.

“Everything ok?” Jack said even though it clearly wasn’t.


“NO! I don’t think I can do this. I don’t want to go out there, I don’t want to wear this stupid dress and I don’t think I want to marry Andre.” Jessica gushed, she barely stopped for breath as she continued to sob and let her emotions out. “Andre looks great, he is so handsome but I don’t know if I want to marry him. I mean the sex is great but he’s arrogant, lazy and can sometimes be an awful slob. I just don’t want to be this prissy little housewife cleaning up after him all day. Plus he keeps talking about having this massive family! Like 8 or 9 kids which is just the opposite of what I want. Oh God, I let things go too far! I don’t want this! I’m not sure I even love him!” Jessica then started to cry.


Jack had no choice but to awkwardly hug his sister. He had no idea what to say and certainly no way of helping his sister out of the situation, he just prayed that the bridesmaid would be back with some actual moral support and he could leave. Eventually his silence and his sister 's sobbing was too much for him to bear and he had to say something, pathetic as it was.


“I wish there was something I could do Jessica” Jack said sympathetically while hugging his sister. It was as he uttered his half hearted wish and attempt to soothe his sister that a wisp of green smoke materialised before him and before he could say another would the green vapour rushed down his throat and caused his body to tingle and his stomach to churn. 

Game

 

Oliver was sitting on the couch nervously waiting for his roommate Logan to come back to the apartment. He fidgeted restlessly, rehearsing the script he had created in his head about what he was going to say to Logan, it was his chance to finally change things and he really didn’t want to mess this up. Oliver and Logan had been good friends but over the last few years things had changed and both of their lives had taken different directions. Oliver had focussed on his education and working tirelessly to move forward with his career, while Logan had got into fitness, partying, casual hook ups and having as much fun as he could. This led the pair to accuse each other of being boring or irresponsible, causing arguments and spending less time together. What’s more Oliver had come out as gay and while Logan had said he was cool and supportive, Oliver would sometimes catch Logan making faces when he would talk about guys or make comments about Oliver staring at his muscular body. Oliver felt awkward and uncomfortable, which he never felt before around Logan. This wasn’t helped by the fact that Logan was always shirtless and rightly so he had worked hard on his body and looked amazing, his pecs were heavy, his biceps huge, his back wide, his ass plump and his legs thick. If they hadn’t been such good friends Oliver would have found Logan attractive but it wasn’t like that and even Logan joking about it made him feel weird.

Oliver could see as clear as day that the friendship he had shared with Logan for so many years was fading, his buddy was becoming a gym-obsessed party boy while he himself recognised that he was becoming more reserved and less fun. Oliver didn’t want to lose the relationship he had with Logan but all attempts to fix it had fallen flat and so Oliver had gotten desperate. While the two men had grown apart there was still something they did together and always had fun and that was playing video games. When their schedules were free and they could spend a whole day on the couch eating snacks, having a beer and playing against each other it felt like old times. However, even those moments were becoming more fleeting so when a pop-up appeared on Oliver’s phone about a new video game that was said to fix any problem between two people and was rated 5 stars, he brought it.
