"What's that?" Bryon asked his friend Nathan as he was holding a wrapped box in his hands.
"My brother mailed me this box as an early birthday gift. He said he was sending me something special, but didn't tell me what." Nathan was curious as to what his brothr gave him for his birthday. He quickly opened up the box. After removing the bubble wrap, he was surprised at what the gift was. It was his brother's TF Ray phone. A note was in the box as well. It read, 'Happy Birthday, little brother. Wanted to give you this since I have no need for it. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I did.'
"What is that, some new kind of phone? I have never seen one like that before." Bryon asked his friend.
"It's my brother's TF Ray phone. I remember him telling me so much about it. I am just so surprised he gave it to me." Nathan smiled at the prospect of actually using it.
"What does it do?" Bryon asked, feeling curious.
"Oh, It can change people into objects." Nathan explained as he turned it on.
"No way. You have to be lying. There is no way that is possible. No phone can change a person into an object." Bryon countered, not believing it was possible.
"You think so? I can prove it." Nathan paused, thinking. "How about I test it on you then?" He asked his friend who doubted him.
"Okay, I am game. If it works, you can use me as what object you turn me into for as long as you want. But I doubt that will happen." Bryon still didn't believe what Bryon had told him about what the phone looking device can do.
Nathan put in the specifics of what he was going to turn Bryon into. "Just remember you said I could use you as any object I turn you into for as long as I want." He reminded his friend as he pointed th camera Bryon. He hit the flash option.
Bryon saw a quick flash at him, and everything changed instantly. He soon found himself unable to move or speak. His body was split in two. He could hear Nathan excitement that it really worked but was unsure of what he was turned into. He soon found out when he saw a socked foot come towards his face, putting it in darkness. He was forced to go through it again as he saw the other socked foot cover his face.
"Wow, my brother was right. It really does turn people into objects. Bryon, you look like a comfortable pair of sneakers. I wonder how comfortable you are. Let's see." Nathan spoke as he quickly tried on the new pair of sneakers. He was amazed at how good they fit on his socked feet. It was hard to believe that the sneakers were a transformed human. He got up and walked around in the sneakers. The level of comfort from the insoles felt like he was stepping on clouds. "You make a great pair of sneakers, dude." He added.
Bryon was in agony, feeling the weight of his friend bearing down on his insole face with each step he took. The socks had a slight odor to them. Having that odor smashed into his face over and over made it worse. He could also feel whatever surface Nathan was stepping on as his back was the soles of his shoe form. His hands were shoe strings securing him to his friend's feet. Being wrapped around his feet like common sneakers wasn't fun. The device really did work.
"Now that you are sneakers, I get wear you as often as I want. Remember, you said that I could use you as the object for as long as I want." Nathan reminded his sneakers with a smile on his face. "You are way more comfortable than all my other pair of sneakers. I definitely have to break you in for a spell." He added.
"NO, PLEASE TURN ME BACK! I DON'T WANT TO STAY LIKE THIS!" Bryon mentally pleaded but found that Nathan couldn't hear a single thought from his now sneaker bodies. He knew what he does with his own pair of shoes, the thought that his friend was about to use him as his personal pair of sneakers wasn't pleasent.
Nathan decided to go for a nice walk around the neighborhood in his new sneakers. He got up and walked out his house, locking his front door. He began his walk. Each step felt heavenly in his new sneakers. "You really are great sneakers, Bryon. I might have to wear you for about a month or so." He laughed as he continued to walk around the neighborhood.
Bryon was in pain and torture. Feeling the harsh ground beneath his soles was painful. It was even more agony being pressed against the ground. He could feel everything beneath him. Things got worse as Nathan's socks became sweaty. That sweat began to drench his insole face. The foul stench of the socks became intense at that point. He so wanted to be changed back. He didn't want to be stuck as his friend's sneakers for a long time or even a short period of time.
Nathan returned back home an hour later. He really enjoyed his walk. He sat down on his couch, still wearing his new sneakers. He thought about how comfortable they were. Normal sneakers never felt this good. He opened up the data on Bryon on the TF Ray phone. He selected the delete option and hit the check mark. Bryon's humanity was completely erased from the device. 'I hope he don't mind being sneakers for a while. Good pair of shoes like these are hard to find.' He thought to himself as he turned on the tv to watch one of his favorite shows. He ignored is new sneakers on his feet. It was time to treat them just like what they are. Bryon would get used to being footwear over time, whether he liked it or not. He should not have made that bet with him.
Bryon was unaware that his friend had sealed his fate as he was forced to inhale the foul stench and sweat of Nathan's sweaty socked feet.
