Hello. Iâm a 26-year-old white liberal, physically disabled, gay, and gender-queer community advocate. My job right now is entirely focused on community outreach so the town government can better understand and assist those in town who are struggling the most but refusing any assistance. So I reached out and contacted my former now Trump voting, culturally conservative, macho, manly, ultra-masculine , high testosterone, red-pill, MAGA, redneck, and traditionalist friends from high school to ask them what it is about the government that makes them so distrustful of our help, and how and what do I specifically need to change about my approach and attitude to be acceptable to their values now that MAGA conservative values are soaring in popularity after the presidential election. The only thing my old school acquaintances and estranged family members sent me back in response to my genuine outreach was a link to this website I have never heard of. #RedWaveRapture
Can you tell what would happen if I click this link?
Youâve always believed that hope is an action. Maybe thatâs naive. Maybe itâs the one thing you cling to, even when your hands tremble and your jaw aches from clenching. Even now, midnight crawling toward morning, your fingers glow in the blue-white light of your laptop, the screen painting tired half-moons under your eyes. Your apartment is a lived-in cave of city council handouts, rainbow pins, commemorative mugs, and empty soda cans. The radiator chugs and ticks as if grumbling along with the storm outside, a backdrop to another night where your mind refuses to shut down.
You stare at the city beyond your window, orange sodium lights reflected in glass streaked with rain. Somewhere, a siren wails, low and distant, and you remember how, as a child, youâd watch police cars fly down these streets and feel safe. Now, every time you hear that sound, your chest tightens and your palms sweat. You know the statistics. You know whoâs on the wrong side of the badge these days. But you still hope (maybe foolishly) that this place can be better, that you can be a part of that.
Youâre a lifer here. Born in the city hospital, raised three blocks from the courthouse, youâve watched the skyline change, old diners close, new condos rise, and the sense of community fracture year by year. The town was never utopia, but you remember neighbors who brought casseroles when your dad got sick, the barbershop that doubled as a polling place, the way people used to talkâface to face, even if they didnât agree. The old men at the corner store would argue for hours about politics and then share a bag of pretzels on the curb, grumbling but grinning.
Now, everything is brittle and sharp. People cross the street to avoid each other. Arguments escalate into threats, and sometimes into violence. Yard signs are torn up, or worse, booby-trapped with nails. Youâve seen friendships dissolve on Facebook over a meme or a campaign sticker. You know kids who wonât come out to their families, elders who stay silent about their politics, parents who keep their heads down at PTA meetings. You see the fear. You feel it too.
Youâre the only openly queer, nonbinary, physically disabled employee at city hall, and most days, thatâs a badge of pride. Some days, it feels like a target on your back. Youâre a âfaceâ for the townâs PR materials, the âheartâ of every outreach campaign, a symbol that makes people feel better about themselves. But you know how they look at you, how they talk when the microphones are off. At the grocery store, someone will compliment your courage, then whisper that the worldâs gone mad when they think youâre out of earshot.
You took this job because you believe in bridges. Not the literal bridges crumbling over the river, though you care about those too, but the metaphorical ones - connections, trust, understanding. You want to be the person who makes a difference. Sometimes you convince yourself youâre making headway: an angry parent calls back to thank you, a protest wraps up peacefully, a neighbor offers to drive someone to a clinic. But the victories are small, fragile, and drowned out by the endless churn of outrage. Some nights, like tonight, it feels like the cityâs barely holding together.
Tonight, your dread is sharper than usual. Overnight, you've found that the town now has the phrases âred waveâ plastered everywhere - news, memes, even scrawled in Sharpie on the bathroom wall at the library. People say it like itâs inevitable. You worry what it means: more bans, more hate, more lives quietly snuffed out. You worry that there will be riots, or mass celebrations, or both. You fear for your friends, your elders, the teens who DM you at two a.m. begging for advice, the families you see clinging to hope and guidance at every city meeting. You worry for yourself, that someday someone will decide youâre a symbol that needs to be erased.
And still, you hope. You hope that talking - real talking, with people you donât agree with - might soften some edge, slow the violence, remind people what it means to be neighbors. Maybe thatâs all outreach is, now: a plea not to go down swinging.
Tonight, in the glow of your desk lamp, you draft a Facebook post, weighing every word. You rewrite it a dozen times, reading it aloud, wincing at how earnest you sound:
âWhy are so many Republican voters distrustful of the government, and why do you think Trump was the solution? What can someone like me, who doesnât share your values, do to better understand and accept them?â
You almost delete it. But if you canât ask the question, whatâs the point of this job? Whatâs the point of any of it? You hit âPost,â heart thudding like youâve just leapt from a precipice.
The replies come fast. Some are jokes - memes, âcry harder,â someone pasting your face on a melting snowman. Others are worse. Your cousin Greg, always the family clown, posts a video of drag queens with a barf emoji. You try to laugh it off, but it lands hard. These are people youâve known your whole life. You keep scrolling, desperate for sincerity.
Thatâs when the private messages start - first from old classmates, then from strangers, all sending the same link: RedWaveRapture.com. The name is a punchline. Or a threat. âYou want to know what we think?â âYou want a real bridge?â âThis is what you need to see.â Itâs almost mechanical, but each message is just different enough that you know they wrote them themselves. You hesitate, but the links pile up, insistent. You copy it into a new tab, finger hovering, pulse fluttering.
You try to talk yourself out of it. What if itâs a virus, or worse? What if you end up on a list? But you canât help yourself. You need to understand, even if you hate everything about their politics. You donât get how anyone can believe in policies that punish the vulnerable, that roll back rights, that punish difference instead of celebrating it. Isnât the whole point of society to progress? To move forward, to learn, to open doors? You canât imagine why anyone would fight for the opposite.
You think about your city, about the kids and elders and neighbors who still believe things can change, about the fragile peace you try to hold together. You remember being told, âYou canât fight hate with hate.â You hope thatâs still true. Thatâs why you keep going. Thatâs why you reach across the aisle, even if your hand gets slapped away.
You return to your desk. You stare at your reflection in the dark screen - a face tired but defiant, jaw set, eyes searching for answers, for hope. You take a slow breath, copy the link, and press Enter.
You hit Enter, expecting maybe a clunky homepage, a wall of text, or some pixelated right-wing meme hell. Instead, the moment you press the key, the room is swallowed in sound and color. The laptopâs speakers burst to life with an overdriven, looping national anthemâso loud, so full of static, you have to physically flinch away. Red, white, and blue explode across the screen in jagged strobes, like emergency lights pulsing in your skull. For a split second, you swear the radiator hum, the tick of your wall clock, even the cityâs faint nighttime growl, all vanish. Thereâs nothing but the throb of your heart and the relentless surge of the websiteâs âpatrioticâ chaos.
Your cursor vanishes. The window force-maximizes itself, swallowing every other tab. The RedWaveRapture logo splinters and reforms in the center of the page, all gothic fonts and American flags fluttering in slow motion behind it. Underneath, a ticker scrolls by at lightning speed: âFaith. Freedom. Family. Firearms. Power. Order. Restore.â Each word hammers at youâshort, final, absolute. You try to blink the glare away, but itâs everywhere - even the afterimage is burned red and blue behind your eyelids.
Pop-up windows spiral outward, overlaying one another: police badges, squad cars barreling down highways, men in uniform with squared jaws and arms folded. In one corner, an endless slideshow of American muscle cars, pickup trucks, gym bros flexing, AR-15s gleaming on velvet, the glossy shine of a bald eagleâs wing. Another window streams a parade of beauty queens in flag bikinis, waving and blowing kisses to an unseen crowd. In the center, a countdown timer begins - ominous, digital, faceless. âPreparing True American Experience. Please remain seated.â
Your jaw sets. This is a caricature, you think, half in disbelief, half in contempt. Itâs like someone scraped the bottom of every Fox News segment and squeezed it into a fever dream. Your stomach churns at the sight of so many guns, all those hard-faced men staring out of the screen with smug certainty. You catch yourself muttering, âJesus, itâs all just violence and muscle andââ but the sentence fizzles, the sound swallowed by the anthem and the noise.
You reach for the trackpad but your hand feels numb, like youâve slept on it wrong, nerves slow and rubbery. No matter where you press, nothing closes, nothing responds. The audio shifts - the anthem into crowd noise, then to a deep, staticky voice that you canât quite place: âIf you want to know what makes this country strongâŠif you want to belongâŠopen your eyes. Let yourself see whatâs REAL.â
That line sticks. Something inside you bristles, a reflexive rejection - real? You want to snort, but as you stare at the parade of muscle and order, you feel a weird little spark in your chest. A stray, insistent thought flickers across your mind - No, maybe this is what men should want. This is power. This is respect. Isnât this the kind of life you always admired, somewhere deep down? You try to squash it, horrified, but itâs there now, persistent and faintly thrilling.
Your chest is tight, your mouth gone dry. You try to steady your breathing, but the lights flicker and warp, the entire room seeming to pulse in time with the music. The scrolling ticker now flashes phrases like âObey,â âServe,â âJoin,â interspersed with video loops of people cheering, cops tackling protestors, flags unfurling in slow, almost hypnotic motion.
You grip the edge of your desk, anger mixing with a kind of morbid curiosity. This is what they want the world to be? This is what passes for strength? The stray voice, quieter now, pipes up again: Better than weakness. Better than all that whining and softness. You blink, shaking your head, but the words leave a greasy aftertaste, clinging even as you try to push them out.
Thereâs a part of you - buried under years of training, self-defense, online etiquette - that starts to panic. This canât be just a website. It feels like a virus, a hypnosis, something actively crawling into your brain. You want to scream, to reach for the power button, to look away, but your eyes are pinned to the screen. You think of those warnings about brainwashing and âpsychotronicâ ads, and for a split second, you wonder if youâre really safe in your own room.
But your curiosity is still there, tangled with fear. Maybe, you think, this is just the price of understanding. Maybe you need to let yourself feel the discomfort. Maybe you have to step into the storm if you want to help anyone out of it.
Then the lights intensify. The countdown reaches zero. The anthem blares again. And for a heartbeat, you feel something click deep in your chest - a thump, a ripple, the sense that youâre about to be changed by what comes next.
For a few seconds after the countdown, nothing happens, just the flicker of the flag, the echo of the anthem, and the faint burn of colors behind your eyelids. You try to move, to close the lid or wheel yourself away, but your limbs refuse. Even your breathing is shallow, as if the air in the room is heavier now. The screen pulses, and with each surge, you feel your pulse syncing, heart thumping to some silent, insistent rhythm you canât escape.
Then the website comes alive, its code unspooling in new, unsettling ways. Text scrolls across the banner: âWelcome, True American. Prepare for your Realignment.â Below that, a video window expands, swallowing the cursor, the browser bar, the clock. Thereâs nowhere to look but forward.
The feed is a dizzying, fast-cut montage - grainy home movies of backyard barbecues, Fourth of July parades, gleaming patrol cars, and sunburned men wrestling on football fields. The images flicker so quickly you canât focus on one before the next slams into your vision: a squad of cops posed in front of a courthouse, fireworks, a mother weeping with pride as her uniformed son hugs her, a shirtless man deadlifting in an iron gym, his muscles corded and shining. Each image lands like a slap, too raw, too forceful, almost parodic in its testosterone-soaked Americana.
The soundtrack is a relentless assault: the national anthem gives way to the roar of engines, the static crackle of police radios, the boom of fireworks, the echo of a coach shouting, âPush it, son! Make us proud!â The volume dips and swells, a wave of adrenaline that worms its way into your skull. You grit your teeth, trying to filter out the worst of it, but thereâs no reprieve. Every sound feels surgically chosen to jar you, to summon up memories you donât want: your dadâs voice at Little League games, the sermons you half-listened to in your auntâs church, that stifling, masculine pride you always resented.
As you watch, your disgust boils. The muscle, the guns, the flags, the smug grins - theyâre a weapon meant to bludgeon you into submission. You try to remind yourself itâs all an act, a performance, a digital shrine to some lost world that never existed. But itâs hard to hold on to that certainty when the images move this fast, when the websiteâs algorithm seems to know exactly what you fear and despise. A scroll of headlines flashes by: âFamily Is Everything,â âRespect Is Earned in Blood, Not Words,â âStrength Over Sensitivity.â The words burn, crawling behind your eyes.
You try to laugh, but your mouth is dry. What is this, brainwashing for dummies? The joke falters before it reaches your lips. Thereâs an ache starting at the back of your skull, a cold, coiled pressure that grows with every second. In the pit of your chest, something else stirs - something darker and heavier. A seed of envy? Admiration? You donât want to name it.
On the margins of your mind, that other voice returns. Quiet, but sharper now, slicing through your skepticism: Isnât this what men are supposed to be? Strong, proud, respected. Not whining. Not apologizing. Just⊠in control. You try to shove the thought away, but the next montage lands - a cop dragging a protester in cuffs, a stadium packed with roaring fans, a thick-armed man holding up a âWorldâs Best Dadâ trophy, flanked by adoring blond children and a wife in stars-and-stripes denim. Your skin prickles, both in anger and something you donât want to admit - longing for simplicity, maybe. Or to be the one cheered instead of the one jeered.
The feed shifts again, now focusing on the rituals of the job: uniform pressed and buttoned, boots polished, badge glinting in the sunlight. Over and over, hands holster guns, slap backs, hoist beers, shove suspects against walls. For every image of camaraderie, thereâs a punchline - a weakling ridiculed, a protester mocked, a rainbow flag trampled into the mud. The websiteâs cruelty is casual, practiced, precise.
The ticker at the bottom starts to include your name, as if the website knows you: âYou could be stronger, [Your Name]. You could be proud. You could be respected.â You blink, a chill running up your spine. You try to wheel away again, but your body is stiff, heavy. You clench the armrests, nails biting into the vinyl.
Every muscle in your body is tense now, the pressure in your head building with each frame. You try to focus on your own beliefs, to recall your friends, your city, your reason for doing all this. But the images keep coming, faster now: hazing rituals, police graduations, more flag-wrapped women, more flexing, more men standing tall and smirking. Every second, the voice in your mind grows bolder, more insistent: Wouldnât it be easier? Wouldnât it feel good to stop fighting and just⊠belong? Just be strong?
You want to scream, to curse, but the words catch in your throat. The anthem starts up again, a low, reverberating growl, and the screen pulses with every beat. The websiteâs colors leak into the room - red and blue glowing on your walls, your skin, your reflection. You wonder if youâll ever be able to scrub the sound from your head.
As the barrage intensifies, you realize with a spike of dread that this isnât persuasion. Itâs programming. Itâs preparing you for something you canât fight. And in the darkness between images, the alien thought finally whispers, low and eager: Let go. Let us show you how much better life can be⊠on the other side.
You barely register the shift at first - a twitch in your fingers, a pulse in your temple, the odd pressure of blood pounding through veins you never used to notice. But then the sensation blooms, hot and alien, as if the very air has thickened into syrup, pushing against your skin. Your spine tingles. Your grip on the armrests tightens as your palms start to itch and swell, bones popping with a series of sharp, relentless cracks. You stare at your hands, blinking, willing the hallucination to fade - but your fingers start thickening and lengthening, knuckles are ballooning out, and your skin is roughening and growing callused as if youâve spent years gripping iron.
Your breath goes shallow. A sudden, wrenching spasm ripples up both arms at once. You gasp, clutching the armrests as your biceps knot and swell beneath your sleeves, veins surfacing and writhing, muscle growing with a slow, perverse logic. The transformation snakes up into your shoulders, the fabric pulling tight as your deltoids swell and broaden, upper arms ballooning in mass and definition. You feel the seams of your shirt protest, cotton stretching across a new, thick upper body you donât recognize. Both forearms thicken, tendons surging up like steel cables, wrists beefing up to match hands that are now too big, too blunt, too powerful.
The burning pressure rolls across your chest. Your ribs creak, spreading, as your torso widens, pecs surging forward. The shirt you wear feels suddenly several sizes too small, seams groaning as your body stretches the limits of what cotton can take. Your sternum aches, bones shifting and locking into a broader, more masculine shape. Your lungs feel huge - each breath flooding you with oxygen, making your vision swim. For a second you glimpse your reflection in the black glass of the laptop and donât recognize the barrel chest, the heavy, athletic shoulders, the thick column of neck rising from between monstrous traps.
Then comes the heat in your face - a tingling along your jaw, as if invisible hands are molding you like clay. Your chin juts out, jawline hardening, cheekbones lifting. You hear a faint grinding sound from inside your own skull. Your teeth clench, and suddenly your cheeks feel hollowed, your whole face sharpening and maturing into something angular, handsome, and unyielding. A shadow grows along your jawline - at first just a stubble, but then a dense, rough pelt of blond bristles that itch maddeningly, demanding to be touched. You rake your hand over your chin, and the sensation is electric: your skin is no longer smooth, but covered in golden, wiry stubble, thick and masculine, catching the light in ways that make you look older and tougher than you ever were.
Thereâs a fizzing, almost pleasant warmth on your scalp. Your hair thickens, lightening shade by shade, roots bleeding from brown to gold. Strands multiply, shifting in weight and texture, sliding into a classic, professionally styled wave - sides cut short, top swept perfectly back, just unruly enough to scream virility and styled just enough to command a room. You realize, dimly, that it matches the hair of one of those men you saw flashing across the site - a cop, maybe, or a model of authority. Your old self would never bother, but this new hair, this uncanny new look, feels inevitable - like itâs always been yours.
Your eyes sting and water, irises shifting, blue blooming outward until your gaze in the monitor is sharp, commanding, cold. You blink, but your own reflection holds steady: not the tired city worker, not the battered activist, but a mid-30s man built to intimidate, to protect, to control. Your face is almost unrecognizable - handsome, mature, unyielding. You stare, wide-eyed, both appalled and fascinated.
The change moves lower. Your stomach tightens, abdominal muscles stacking beneath your skin, forming not just a six-pack but a thick, armored core. Your hips shift and flare, thighs bulging, calves hardening, the disability in your legs dissolving beneath new strength. Your knees crackle, bones resetting. For the first time in years, you feel your feet solid on the groundâpowerful, stable, hungry for action.
You try to stand, but your body does it for you. You rise with a smooth, predatory grace, six inches taller, shoulders squared, back straight, every muscle flexing in a silent boast. Your old clothes strain, seams biting into your flesh, but nothing tears... yet. You stare down at yourself, at the breadth of your chest, the swelling of your arms, the sheer physical weight you now command.
You stagger to the mirror, jaw slack. Every step sends a wave of muscle and mass rolling through you. Your legs, once spindly and unreliable, are now tree trunks, with thighs bursting with sinew and calves roped and solid. Your glutes swell behind you, denim stretched to the limit. You flex, just to feel it, and watch in awe as your shirt fills with muscle, pecs rounding out, biceps peaking, stubble glinting gold. You donât look like you; you donât even look possible.
But thereâs a hunger now - a restless, animal urge that surges with every heartbeat. Your hands ball into fists, your lips curl into a smirk. You catch yourself swaggering just a bit, with hips rolling forward and shoulders wide. For the first time, you feel the want to be seen, to be admired, to be feared.
You try to call out for help, but your voice cracks, then deepens, a booming, masculine growl. The sound is obsceneâraw power, pride, and contempt for anything weak. The old part of you recoils, but the new part flexes, delighted.
Fuck, look at you. Finally built like a real man, whispers the voice in your head. Itâs less foreign now, more like a memory you forgot, or a hunger you buried. This is what power feels like. This is what respect feels like. You can take whatever you want - nobody laughs, nobody doubts, nobody dares.
You close your eyes, chest heaving, every nerve on fire. The last of your old body - old pain, old shame - melts away in a flood of heat and pride. You are changed. You are ready for whatever comes next.
You then stare at the mirror, panting, hands shaking as you try to process the brute masculinity staring back at you. But even as you reel, another wave of change hits - less painful, more insidious. It starts with your shirt: you feel the fabric constrict and thicken, cotton toughening and blending into a heavy, woven synthetic. The seams pull tight, reshaping themselves with eerie efficiency, until buttons pop into existence down the front - gleaming, metallic, each one stamped with an unfamiliar insignia.
A dark navy blue spreads across your chest and arms, swallowing up any sign of your old life. The collar stiffens and sharpens, growing up around your throat with suffocating authority. Epaulettes bulge onto your shoulders, pressed with crisp creases and bearing shining pins that you donât recognize, but that feel right. You try to peel the shirt off, fingers clawing at buttons, but your hands are thick and clumsy, every move hampered by the growing bulk of muscle. You fumble, but the shirt wins, swallowing your protests and locking itself in place.
A patch swells into being on your left shoulderâa badge-shaped emblem with a shield and eagle, gold thread catching the light. You blink and rub your eyes, but the embroidery remains. Lower, a white rectangle shimmers to life above your left pec, the letters resolving one by one in fat, stenciled embroidery: SMITH. Itâs as if the name is being branded onto you, final and brutal and unmistakable. You donât know a Smith, no one in your family, none of your friends, but you can feel it burrowing into your mind, crowding out whatever your name used to be. You try to mouth your real name, but itâs foggy, scrambled, unreachable. All thatâs left is the blank, bland confidence of this brand new Mr. Smith, the kind of name that fits in everywhere and never needs to explain itself.
Your pants follow, denim liquefying into something stiffer, darker. A thick black belt winds itself around your waist, notched perfectly to your new size, bristling with pouches and loops that fill themselves: a chunky flashlight, a pair of cuffs, a fat ring of keys, a radio crackling to life at your hip. The weight is oddly comforting, as if it belongs there - as if youâve carried it for years. You pat each item, stunned by the familiarity of it all, a chill running through your gut as you realize your hands move with mechanical certainty, unbuckling and rebuckling, checking the gear by rote.
Your shoes squeeze, heels rising, soles hardening into the uncompromising grip of police boots. The floor feels different beneath you - slick, institutional linoleum instead of warped old hardwood. For a moment, you think you smell antiseptic and cheap aftershave.
A heavy badge appears above your heart, cold at first, then burning with pride. You stare at it, breath hitching. You canât help but trace the engraved number with your finger, feeling its reality. Officer, the thought surfaces, unexpected, almost comforting. The word echoes in your skull, bouncing off memories that shouldnât be there - patrols, roll calls, late-night fast food, hot coffee in a paper cup, the idle banter of men who trust you. You try to shake it off, but every new detail - the badge, the gear, the pressed creases - sends another pulse of confidence up your spine.
But now, the real onslaught begins. Sudden, alien memories erupt in your mind with sickening force: storming into apartments behind a shield, barking orders, the crack of a baton against a car hood, the adrenaline rush of grabbing a squirming kid by the wrist. You hear yourself reciting Miranda rights in a voice so cold and practiced it frightens you. It's muscle memory you shouldnât have and words youâve never spoken before. Locker room laughter, rough shoves, cheap jokes at the expense of âperpsâ and âprissy punks.â A memory flashes - shoving someone smaller against a brick wall, feeling nothing but a blank satisfaction as they cry out. You recoil, but the scene loops, clearer each time.
With every shift, new instincts and impulses slip in. You stand taller, square your shoulders. Your jaw sets with casual authority. Your face in the mirror looks back at you now with an expression you never wore - a cool, appraising smirk, a glimmer of amusement at how small the world looks from this height. The old you - soft, self-conscious, compassionate - scrabbles desperately for purchase. You think of your job, your friends, your beliefs, your self. âNo, no, no, this isnât me,â you mumble, voice trembling and deep. âI donât want this. Iâm not-â But the words donât fit in your mouth anymore. Even as you say them, they feel childish, weak. A part of you scoffs, hearing the petulance in your protest.
Donât be pathetic, the new voice snaps. Youâre not some limp-wristed charity case. Youâre built for command. Youâre what this city needs: strong, decisive, respected. No more hiding, no more whining, no more bleeding-heart bullshit. You enforce the rules, you donât beg for acceptance.
A memory crashes into you - shouting over a police radio, boots pounding on concrete, adrenaline spiking as you chase a perp through a rain-soaked alley. The pride when you catch him, slam him against the hood, cuff him one-handed while your partner laughs, âDamn, youâre an animal, man!â You gasp, staggering back from the mirror. The memory is real. You can feel the rain on your skin, the thrill of control, the exultant rush of being cheered by your own. In a sickening twist, part of you likes it - likes the power, the awe, the certainty.
You clutch at your head, teeth gritted. âIâm not like them. Iâm not like you,â you mutter, but the words come out stilted, alien. The new thoughts are relentless, flooding your mind with rules, tactics, locker room banter, crude jokes, a thousand ways to dominate a room or a street. Your old sense of compassion feels pale and far away, like the memory of a dream.
The badge glints, the gear weighs heavy on your hips. Every time you blink, the face in the mirror looks less like you, more like a man youâve only ever feared or resented. And still, a flicker of pride tugs at the corner of your mouth - a cruel, satisfied little smile that you canât quite hide.
You brace your fists on the counter, chest heaving. The fracture inside you widens, old self and new locked in a vicious, uneven struggle. You are becoming something else, and you can feel yourself beginning to want it.
You never even see it coming. One moment youâre bracing yourself at the counter, fighting the tide of memories and foreign muscle and the shame of that ugly white bread name. The next, the website erupts to life once more, now depicting flashing women in star-spangled bikinis, sunbaked skin, glistening cleavage, hips twisting, tongues flicking at glossed lips. The slideshow accelerates, every frame designed to trigger hunger. The air is thick with the imagined perfume of cheap body spray, suntan oil, and sweat. Each image lingers, burning into your retinas, until the only thing you can see is soft, jiggling flesh, perfect teeth, asses bouncing, hands running down tanned bellies.
You try to close your eyes but itâs hopelessâthe images pulse on the inside of your eyelids, bright as lightning, impossible to banish. Every time you squeeze your lids shut, the parade just gets more intense, like the slideshow is beaming itself right into the animal part of your brain. You gag, desperate for the flood to stop, for your mind to stay yours. âNo, no, I donât want this, Iâm not-â The thought is cut off as a molten bolt of arousal sears down your spine, straight to your groin. You feel your cock stiffen, the heat so sudden and intense it steals your breath. You want to cry, to scream, to protest - but your hips twitch forward, your new muscles flex, and your hand finds your crotch on its own.
Itâs obscene, how hungry you feel. Every frame is a trigger - cleavage, tanned thighs, lips parted around popsicles, girls grinding against sweaty jocks. Youâre drooling, pulse pounding, so hard it hurts. The old voice in your head tries to shriek "Youâre gay, you love men, you never wanted any of this" but it comes out a faint, pathetic whimper lost in a tidal wave of brutal, masculine need. The images keep hammering you, and the new stench of your body rises around you - thick, musky, sharp, sweat pouring down your stubble and over your pecs, your whole body reeking of testosterone and animal hunger. Youâre leaning forward, lips parted, panting, practically salivating at the sight of a pair of bouncing tits on the screen.
A crude new voice barrels over your resistance, deep and cocky: Yeah fuckinâ right, youâre not gay. Faggots donât get hard for tits like that. You see those bimbos, Smith? Thatâs what you were born to fuck. Pussy and power, thatâs all a man like you needs. Another frame: girls laughing, pouring beer over their chests, tugging at bikini bottoms, their eyes sparkling with challenge and mockery.
You gasp as your package throbs, impossibly sensitive, and a nasty, amused snort bubbles up inside your skull. Your fingers squeeze your crotch and you realize itâs not just swelling with lust - thereâs something wrong, something changing. You watch in horror and awe as your cock gets rock hard, then begins to tingle, the sensation crawling up from the base. It pulses once, twice, then starts to shrink, the shaft drawing back, the head softening and tightening even as the pleasure spikes. Itâs humiliating, obscene, degrading, and your body just loves it - every lost inch is like a little electric reward zapping through your spine.
You want to scream "No, this isnât right, Iâm not supposed to feel like this, I love men, I never wanted to be like this," but your hips just roll, your new core flexing, and your hand is working your now pathetic cock with a mind of its own. âShit, fuck yeah, this has me so fuckin' bricked right now,â you hear yourself mutter in a voice you barely recognizeâhusky, arrogant, dripping with lechery and pride. The new voice sneers: Who cares how big it is, loser? It ainât about the size - itâs how you use it. Besides, chicks love a guy with a little dick and a lotta attitude. Give âem a quick fuck and send âem home, just like a real man. Let âem fake it while you get your rocks off. Who gives a shit?
You squeeze again, your now-pathetic cock twitching and shriveling in your grip, until youâre left with a stubby, throbbing three-incher. The sight would have destroyed you before. Now, itâs just another joke - another reminder that youâre not here for connection, for intimacy, for anything but the power trip of getting off. You huff, a nasty little laugh. Let those bimbos fake it. Youâre Officer Smith now. You donât need to please anybody but yourself.
The slideshow pounds you with more women - hot tub scenes, drunken hookups, girls moaning fake, porn-star moans. It's all for you, all for your cock and your hands and your power. Fantasies burst behind your eyes: yanking a girl onto your lap at the bar, pushing her head down, bragging to the boys in the locker room about how fast you scored. You want to own every body, every bedroom, every pair of tits and ass in the city. If they donât like it, too bad - thereâs a hundred more lined up waiting for a taste of a real man.
And beneath it all, the last shreds of your old self try desperately to cling to anything - some memory of love, of wanting to be held, of softness. But every time you try to speak, your mouth spits out filth and bravado: âYeah, fuck, look at you, Smith. A stud like you could fuck anything you want. These bitches want it so bad, you barely even have to try.â Youâre panting, glistening, grinning like a predator.
No, this isnât me, Iâm not like this, please stopâ But your body drowns you out, the crude laughter, the dirty jokes, the hunger, the joy in conquest. You imagine ghosting them, shaming them, boasting about it, owning the world with your cock and your sneer. It feels inevitable. It feels like home.
You lean in to the mirror, flexing, admiring the sneer that now comes so easily. âGoddamn, you look good, Smith,â you grunt. âFuckinâ stud. You could have anyone you want - hell, take two, three at a time. Show âem what a real man does.â The last echoes of your old self try to protestâNo, Iâm not like this, Iâm not like you, pleaseâ but your body drowns them out in a flood of cruel laughter and heat. You spit on the floor, the gesture so instinctual it shocks you, and then you smile, wide and leering. It feels good. It feels inevitable.
The website flashes one last time: âWelcome to the Brotherhood.â
And you know, with savage certainty, that you belong here now... or at least, the new part of you does. The rest is fading, fast.
You feel the switch flip before you even realize itâs happening. A cold, thrilling surge of power snaps through your body - something so pure and physical itâs almost electrical, a raw wave of pride and hunger that crests and crashes and leaves you gasping. The websiteâs anthem booms in your ears, the pulse of drums and horns and crowd noise blending into a wall of sound, a victory march. Your reflection in the mirror is nearly unrecognizable now: golden stubble, sculpted jaw, every muscle pumped and veined, eyes sharp and blue with a cruel sort of humor. You flash your teeth - bigger, brighter, made for smirking and grinning and chewing out the weak.
You flex, just to watch your pecs swell and your arms bulge, rolling your shoulders and letting your hands roam across your own torso. Every touch is an affirmation. The fabric of your shirt strains across your chest and back, showing off every ridge, every thick rope of strength. You find yourself posing, admiring the cocky way you fill out the uniform, how the badge gleams against your pec, how the name âSMITHâ sits proud and eternal over your heart. The air smells different - spicy, clean, charged with testosterone and aftershave and the kind of sweat that drives women wild.
Your body feels even better than it looks. Your senses are so sharpâevery whiff of your own musk, every ripple of muscle beneath your skin, the scratch of your stubble, the way your boots bite into the floor, the weight of your gun and cuffs and keys. You shift your stance, shoulders squared, cock jutting forward, so much larger than life you want to grab yourself and moan with pride. You know anyone would want you: want to fear you, want to fuck you, want to be you.
A new, glorious flood of memories pours in, so intense and bright you almost shiver. You remember locker room laughs, slapping asses, joking with the boys about last nightâs conquests. You remember your first arrest: muscles burning, adrenaline surging, the moment you slammed a punk onto the hood and felt the crowdâs eyes on you, all awe and envy. You remember strutting through bars, eyes following you everywhere, girls giggling as you grabbed them and spun them against you. You remember the cheers at the station when you won a bet, the way your partner looked at you with worship, the way your own voice sounded so right calling out orders, threatening, charming, winning.
Thatâs right, bitch, you think at the last ghost of your old self, who is barely hanging on by a thread. Look at you... Pathetic! You were always meant to disappear, to let a real man take your place. Whoâd ever want you now, anyway? The old self tries to whimper, tries to raise an argument about love or gentleness or being seen, but itâs met with a roar of laughter from the new Smith. You are the joke now - just a faded, broken echo, so weak that even remembering your old name feels like a chore. Smith grins at your pain and presses his advantage: Get lost, loser. You had your chance. Now itâs my world.
Every moment is pure, liquid pleasure. You want to show off: to strut, to preen, to let the world see what a real man looks like. You want to break things and claim things and fuck things. Your hand drifts to your crotch, palming the stunted, rock-hard little dick, and you almost laugh. Who cares how small you are? You make them beg anyway. You leave them aching, crying, hungry for another shot at your attention. Thatâs power. Thatâs what matters. You stroke yourself with greedy pride, hips rolling, flexing for the mirror, muscles standing out in hard relief. The sight alone nearly makes you cum right there.
The world grows hotter, brighter, richer - colors popping, sounds sharper, your own breath a growl in your ears. Every muscle feels like it could split your skin. The memory of a hundred victories, a thousand fucks, a lifetime of domination lights you up from inside. You squeeze your cock harder, laughing, spitting on the floor, every sense at the redline. Your heart pounds. Your voice, when it comes, is a bark, a boast, a moan of conquest. âFuck, look at me. Iâm fucking perfect.â
Thatâs when it hits: the final, shuddering wave. Your body tenses, flexes, and you explode, eyes rolling back as a white-hot pleasure tears through you. The world blurs out in a haze of sensation: every sound a roar, every sight a smear of color, every feeling magnified a thousand times. For a heartbeat, you are only pleasure and pride, animal and god.
When your vision clears, you blink, breath still ragged, your muscles singing with afterglow. The mirror is gone. The world is different - harder, realer, yet exactly where you're meant to be...
Youâre now sitting in your cop car. Your uniform hugs your new body like a second skin, and every inch of you radiates power, authority, and cocky satisfaction. In the passenger seat, you turn to see your rookie partner - young, clean-shaven, eager - grinning over at you. Clearly, the kid idolized you... which you weren't surprised about in the slightest. After all, you're the best cop in the damn county.
âNice work on that last collar, Sarge,â he says, handing you a file. âYou think the conversion program is really going to fix all of this hostility?â
You grin, rolling your shoulders, letting your arm drape out the window. âTrust me, rookie,â you say, voice deep and sure, âitâs the best thing that ever happened to this country. The worldâs gone soft, now we get to toughen it up, one whiny liberal at a time.â
A call crackles in on the radio: âSuspect - blue hair, protest sign - causing a disturbance downtown.â You catch your own reflection in the rearview, eyes flashing with pride and hunger.
You peel out, siren blaring, your rookie laughing in excitement beside you. When you pull up to the curb, the twink barely has time to protest before youâre out of the car, grabbing him, manhandling him into the backseat. âHey! What are you... Let me go, I didnât do anything!â he shouts, voice shrill and desperate.
You just smirk, settling behind the wheel, flipping on the in-car TV as your rookie secures the door. âYouâre about to get a real education,â you drawl, thumbing the websiteâs app open. âDonât worry, youâll thank us when youâre done.â
As the screen starts to flash, you stretch, cocky and satisfied, already looking forward to seeing another convert step out strong, proud, and right.
While your attention returns to the radio as it spits static and coded chatter, the blue-haired kid continues to struggle in the backseat - attempting to do whatever he can to escape and prevent the fate that's fast approaching. Your rookie is all nerves and excitement, glancing between you and the backseat, where the RedWaveRapture website flickers to life, ready to work its magic once again.
You can feel the afterglow from your earlier transformation still thrumming through your veins, your muscles buzzing with power, your skin sticky with sweat and pride. The world outside is crisp and clear - streets straight, no-nonsense, every building flying a fresh American flag, not a protest sign in sight. Itâs like the city itself has sobered up, straightened its back, embraced its new order. You breathe deep, letting the smell of asphalt and summer and your own body fill your lungs. Everything is sharp, clean, right.
Your rookie checks the cuffs on the twink, then slides into the passenger seat, all wide-eyed and eager for approval. âMan, I still canât believe how easy it is now. They just go in whiny and come out ready to serve. The programâs a game-changer.â
You grin, teeth flashing in the rearview, feeling bigger than ever. âItâs about time the world stopped listening to all that bullshit. Give âem a little discipline, a little structure, and they remember how to act. Weakness is a choice. All they needed was a push.â
You crank the volume on the screen as the slideshow begins, the same relentless stream of women and flags and muscle and grinning authority that claimed you. The twinkâs protests quickly fade into moans, gasps, then silence - eyes locked, face slack, his features already starting to harden, hair shifting shade by shade toward a respectable brown. You canât help but laugh. âLook at that, rookie. One less pain in the ass for us to babysit.â
The rookie laughs, emboldened, tossing you a wink. âBet heâll thank you before the dayâs over. They always do. Last guy brought in coffee for the whole shift and saluted everyone on the way out.â
âFuck yeah,â you bark, slapping the dash. âWeâre making real men again. Making this country proud. No more losers, no more snowflakes. Just the strong, the loyal, the fuckinâ backbone.â You catch a glimpse of yourself in the side mirror - blond, broad, beard stubble sharp, eyes cold and unblinking. You look every inch the part: a leader, a lawman, a conqueror.
The rookie looks at you with naked admiration, eager to match your bravado. âSo, what do we do with him when heâs done? Drop him off at the precinct?â
âNah. Let him see his old friends first. Nothing wakes you up like seeing what you left behind. Gives âem a reason to keep the faith.â You stretch, savoring the pop of your new, stronger joints, the way your uniform hugs your biceps and chest. Itâs easy, natural even, to talk like this, to dismiss the past and see only strength and victory ahead.
Outside, the city rolls by - orderly, almost eerily serene. A few protest stickers remain, faded and peeling, relics of a softer time. Everywhere else, itâs red, white, and blue, men and women walking straighter, heads high, eyes on the prize. You nod at your reflection, pride swelling until it threatens to burst.
Behind you, the twink starts to grunt, his voice dropping an octave, hands flexing as his wrists thicken. His bodyâs already bulking, shirt riding up as abs push through. You watch with lazy approval, a thrill running through you as his face sets in a new, rugged cast.
Just then, your phone buzzes - it's a text from the captain, he has a new list of suspects flagged for âadjustment.â You smirk. Plenty more work to do. The world wonât fix itself, but with men like you behind the wheel, thereâs hope yet.
As the rookie flips on the lights for your next call, you roll down the window and let the cityâs heat and noise pour in. You catch sight of your badge, âSMITH,â gleaming in the afternoon sun. Every inch of you radiates power, pride, certainty. You reach down, give yourself a squeeze, and laugh - a deep, easy sound, free of doubt, full of promise.
This is your city. Your time. The weak are fading, the strong are rising, and you - Officer Smith - are right where you belong.
