Supplemented

Chapter 1 - The Awakening

Henry’s alarm blared at 6:00 AM, as it did every morning. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, ready to start his day. But something was different this time. As he stood up, he felt a heaviness—a newfound weight that seemed to cling to his bones.

The mirror in the bathroom revealed the truth. His once chiseled abs were now obscured by a soft layer of flesh. Henry frowned, running his fingers over the slight paunch forming around his waist. How had this happened? He’d been so disciplined with his workouts and diet.

Then he remembered—the mysterious supplement he’d stumbled upon at the gym last night. The label promised rapid muscle growth and strength. Eager to push his limits, Henry had taken it without a second thought. But now, he wondered if he’d made a grave mistake.

Last night everything seemed to be going great. The weights felt lighter in his hands, and he lifted effortlessly.His pecs strained against T-shirt  and his arms felt strong as they bulged with the power from the suplement. The other regulars stared, their eyes widening as they noticed his enhanced musculature. Henry reveled in their admiration, but a nagging worry tugged at him inside. Should he have been more cautious before taking these pills? Now, the next morning his question was answered. He should have been more wary.
