Jake just stared out over the vast ocean before him when a loud, booming voice began to speak to him.
"JAKE. YOU HAD WISHED YOU COULD BE DIFFERENT IN ANY WAY. WELL, I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU ENJOYED BECOMING STRONGER. SO FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL ALWAYS BECOME BIGGER AND STRONGER."
"Whoa! What... Who... Where... Who are you?" Jake gasped, as he shouted into the sky. "Why are you talking to me?"
The wind kicked up again.
"I HAVE GRANTED YOUR WISHES, JAKE AUSTIN. YOU WANTED TO BE DIFFERENT AND YOU HAD A DESIRE TO BECOME STRONGER. I AM THE MUSCLE GOD. YOU WILL GROW STRONGER UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR MUSCLE GROWTH."
"What?" Jake said, as he turned and looked in every direction. He was definately the only person on the beach. The voice seemed to be coming from every direction above him. At first, he thought that maybe somebody was pulling a very elaborate practical joke on him, but the sky was perfectly clear and there wasn't anybody else around.
"Uhhmm... How... How big will I become?" he asked out loud. "When will I complete my muscle growth?"
"YOU WILL FINISH GROWING WHEN YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH AND THE MUSCLES OF A THOUSAND MEN!"
Jake's jaw dropped wide open.
"Ohmygosh! A... A thousand men? That's insane! I... I'll be HUGE! That's too big!" he said out loud.
"YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR GROWTH, JAKE. TRUST ME! ENJOY YOUR STRENGTH! I MUST GO NOW. BE STRONG NOW AND FOREVER, JAKE AUSTIN!"
"What? No! NO! Wait! Come back! COME BACK!" Jake cried out.
But the wind died down. All Jake could hear was the crashing of the waves into the shore.
"Holy crap! I'm gonna grow until I'm as strong as a THOUSAND men?" he wondered out loud. "That's insane! That's redic--"
As soon as he spoke, he felt his chest and his biceps stiffen up, like he was overcome by cramps in those muscles. Then, just as he could have expected it, his pecs pushed out another inch, and his biceps hardened and inflated some more, increasing his strength once again!
"Uuuuhhhh!!!" he moaned, as he felt his muscles grow, almost like a response to his complaint.
Then, the small growth spurt stopped, leaving Jake feeling bigger... stronger... heavier...
"Oh man! I better get used to this!"
He walked back up to the house. As soon as he reached the door, he reached out and turned the doorknob.
CLANGGGG! CRUNCH!
"Ack! Holy crap!"
Jake looked at his hand! He was holding the doorknob in his hand! Because of his outrageous strength, he had pulled the doorknob out of the door!
"Oh mannnn.... Now I gotta start watching what I touch... I'm too freaking strong!"
Jake realized that he had practically bent the steel screws, which held the doorknob into the door, because of his mind-blowing strength and muscle. The worst part was, he was only going to get stronger since his muscles were going to grow every day from now on.
Just as he was about to try to carefully pull the door open with one finger, somebody walked up to him...
