I enjoyed what he came up with and I hope you do too!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex had really lucked out when he joined the cult of eternal youth. It was just weeks before they would try a grand spell to give each member what they sought after. Each member had to bring a piece for the spell. 

Alex was relieved when he didn't have to collect the blood or bones that the spell required. He had to bring a lock of child's hair. It took him hours to get up the courage to wander through a mall on a Saturday and try to find some unattended kid.

Alex had to prowl through the mall for hours. Every time he got close a parent would suddenly turn around and give him a stare. "stupid parental instincts"

Time to meet up for the ritual was drawing near. In a panic Alex rushed from store to store trying to find any kid that he could just cut a bit of hair from. Just as desperation was winning over he saw his opportunity. Some kid was hanging around in a corner of the clothing section by themselves. 

With barely a look back Alex quickly ran up, snipped a pigtail off with his scissors and ran before anyone could have been the wiser. Running back to his car with a laugh Alex ran off to meet with the cult.

The other five members all arrived at the abandoned department store basement. Each carrying their prize. The cultists gathered in a circle and began the ritual. Each one dropping their ingredient into a bowl. A plume of smoke billowing out with each new addition. It was time for the last piece. Alex stepped to the middle of the group and dropped the lock of hair into the bowl. 

Suddenly the mixture began to hiss and spit as something went wrong. The room began to fill with the smell of burnt plastic. The group tried to escape the foul mixture but it was no use. It was no use, as their heads began to fog from the smell they each felt their bodies move on their own. 

The group found themselves posing for one another. The thoughts of their eternally youthful bodies displayed for one another was further clouding their minds. Each one of them watched as their bodies began to change. Two of the members who had been in their fifties gasped and cheered as they watched one another become more and more youthful. 

The possibility of the botched spell was leaving their minds more and more as they watched themselves become younger. Alex could barely register a problem when he watched the man that brought him into the group, Benjamin, begin to grow more lithe and thin. 

As their bodies became the images of physical perfection they felt warmth begin to crawl over their bodies. Their skin slowly turning to plastic. Alex could only watch as the three beauties in his line of sight began to change into different textures. One of them had turned completely silver, her limbs beginning to suck into her body leaving just a torso with perfect breasts. beside her another girl's skin had turned into a plaid texture her arms disappearing at the shoulder and her legs sucking away above her knees.

The failed spell finally finished its work and dissipated. the six mannequins each finished and only wishing to be touched and admired by others. to be used like the objects they were. 

If only Alex had realized that the child's hair he had stolen was from a mannequin at the mall.
