"You've gotta be shitting me Kevin? This isn't another one of your elaborate jokes to get me to look at some other of your weird fucking fetish sites again, is it?" You queried, your tone peppered by visible annoyance, an expression of both bewilderment and frustration drawing itself across your sun kissed face.
"C'mon Jason! That was one time buddy. Besides I know you enjoyed yourself, you horny bastard, given how long it took you to respond." Your best friend Kevin cheerily tweeted out, his tall, muscular physique a near blur, as he sprang to his feet from your grey carpeted bedroom floor, where he formerly sat.
"Look...... I know I can be a clown sometimes. But I'm dead serious. It sounds far fucking stretched, that's for sure. All I'm asking right now is that you give it a shot." Kevin continued, his usual jovial, humorous attitude rapidly taking on a more serious, and sincere countenance you rarely expected from him.
Still slightly unconvinced, a scowl contorted itself across the dark features of your face, as your scathing brown eyes, hurriedly searched your friends visage for any indication of insincerity or ulterior motive. Yet, you could find none, his sharp, piercing ice blue eyes locked squarely unto yours through the bangs of his shaggy blonde hair, his strong, immaculate jawline clenched and wound tightly to his face and his thick forearm, outstretched towards where you sat upon your bed, all helped to display an aura of earnestness, that given your long history, utterly surprised you and began to crack the wall of distrust at his previous mentions, that you had put up.
"Huh.............Fine! But this better not be some convoluted plan of yours to make me look like an ass." You sighed and moaned out in defeat, after a brief moment of contemplation, your much more slender hand meeting his with a tight clasp in agreement.
"Haha! I knew you'd see it my way. You wont regret this buddy, trust me." Kevin blurted out triumphantly, his upbeat cheer returning, a bright smile twisting itself across his face as he yanked you from your bed unto your feet, with a bit too much force for comfort, before patting you on your back.
"Yeah I better. Now run that whole spiel you were bullshitting about for a while back to me. Cause I gotta admit, I tuned you out after I started thinking you were spitting out of your ass." You replied rather dryly and sarcastically to his previous assured statement, the small scowl still etched unto your face adding to your generally gloomy disposition.
"Andddddd......This is why Chelsea said you were an asshole before she dumped you." Kevin jived back quickly in response to your sharp wit, meeting your now upturned eyes to his, with one of his signature mischievous grins.
You simply scoffed in retort, now awaiting his playback of your previous conversation in silence for a short time, before he caught your unspoken message and began to recant with the details once more.
"So.....Like I was saying. I was scouring the less than reputable parts of the deep web looking for some good alone time material, when I came upon a rather interesting sight." Kevin recited in a rather posh, uptight and condescending British accent, in a playful and albeit uninspired attempt to make fun of your usually reserved demeanor, pausing in suspense at the last part of his retelling to irk you and make sure you were listening this time, as evidenced by the roguish, shit eating smile etched across his features.
"Huh......And!" You responded to his taunt, with a bit more visible frustration and vexation than you meant to let on, much to his amusement and satisfaction.
"The site went off the deep end about how they needed testers for their new experimental Nano-mechanical medical program, and how they were paying big bucks for anyone that would volunteer and that all you had to do to participate was send them your postal address. The details about the shit were almost like the ravings of a madman, than an advertisement, spitting some crap about how you could use the program to become the perfect you, change any part of your body, rewrite your entire personality, or if that wasn't your cup of tea, you could do it to someone else........." Kevin droned on and on in his usual languid, self absorbed, extroverted fashion, much to your continued boredom.
You had to admit, that just like before as soon as he mentioned looking for material to wank off to, you had zoned him out and began to entertain random thoughts in your head, like you were perusing groceries at a convenience store, that was until he mentioned something both ear catching and rather perturbing.
"................hell even I was convinced that the man who wrote this was far gone, up there. But there was just something about the passion that he put into it and the program in itself that just inspired me to give it a try. But I'm no fool, going into this shit alone, which is why I decided that who better to test it out with than my best buddy Jason, which is why I inputted your postal address along with my email."
Your head shot bolt upright from the floor at which you absent mindedly stared, your now blood shot eyes nearly bulging out as you locked them directly unto Kevin, slowly coming to the gradual realization of the gravity of his statement.
"You what!" You exclaimed in bewildered confusion, clasping your hands unto the back of your head, struggling to grasp the full clarity of the situation.
"Hehe....hehe......Yeahhhhhhhh.... I was going to mention It a while ago, but I wasn't sure it was legit, well that was until I checked my email and saw the package arrived a few days ago." Kevin muttered rather sheepishly, his guilty eyes avoiding your frantic gaze, as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and placed the other on his slightly jutting hip.
"Package........? What package?" You replied hurriedly, still trying to work over the exacerbation you were experiencing at your current predicament.
"Weren't you listening dude, the program uses nanobots connected to an app on the site, which are introduced via a set of drinkable pills, to the person you wish to test it on." Kevin responded showing a slight veneer of anger at your lack of attentiveness.
Yet you were too ensnared by your own overwrought thoughts to pay his rather uncalled for attitude any mind. You struggled to recollect the past week for any memory that would offer you information on this package he spoke of. You could feel your brain tremble as you paced it for details, growing ever more frustrated with each second that passed without result, however upon deeper inspection you eventually came across the answers you sought, which unfortunately for you yielded more fright, concern, and questions than the search itself.
You could recall it vividly now, plain as day. It was the early hours of the morning, you inattentively picked at your plate of bacon and eggs, as your, prim proper and beautiful mother, made casual conversation towards you to fill the silence created by the still dawn. Although your mind was drifting in a sea of pleasant idle thoughts and heeded little attention to her words, you could recall vaguely her mentioning that she was one of a few lucky winners selected to receive a mysterious new set of diet supplements from an up and coming pharmaceutical company, to try out for free along with a significant boat load of compensation, one in which like Kevin had seen in the advertisement, claimed would help to create the perfect you. Knowing her and her fitness crazed mind set, there was no doubt she had began taking them on a strict regiment.
You sat back down unto your bed behind you, as you slowly realized the entirety of the situation before you. You clasped both of your hands unto your face in frustration, chiding yourself for not paying attention to her words and stopping her. This frustration you could feel slowly boil into anger, before mellowing into concern. You had allowed your overbearing yet loving mother to become ensnared in your best friend's foolish scheme and swallow some unknown drug from off of the deep web, your relent was immense.
"What? What's the matter bro?" Kevin muttered concernedly at the show of your visible distraught, slowly inching closer to you before placing his hand comfortingly on your shoulder.
You looked up at him defeatedly.
