Zodiac Coin: Taurus
By JRD
2250 YEARS AGO...
He was a farmer, just a farmer, but he dared to defy the
gods.
He had always been a believer. He had always been a
supplicant to the powers that be, keeping his head bowed
even in the presence of the graven images of the gods.
But all that changed that last winter. The crops had been
poor last fall and at the beginning of winter they barely
had enough food stored to get them through to spring. But
that was before his family had grown very sick. His wife
and his two children had both contracted a strange, wasting
disease. He was not extremely knowledgeable about tending
to diseases, but he knew more than anyone else in his
little town, but nothing he did helped. He spent hours
reciting prayer after prayer to try to help, but that did
nothing either. Halfway between the winter solstice and the
spring equinox, his family was lost to him.
He had to wait until the spring thaw in order to bury his
family. He said a few words to their spirits to help them
rest, but he made especially sure to include no words to
the gods, for he felt they were nothing but shams.
After his private ceremony, he went to the family storage
area and retrieved the breastplate that had been handed
down from his grandmother and the sword that he had
received from his father, a soldier who had retired to
become a farmer. His grandmother had claimed that the
breastplate was magical, and his father had called the
sword blessed. He neither knew nor cared whether either or
both claims were true, for with the death of his family, so
too died his urge to continue living.
But he would not just lie down and wait for death, nor
would he take his own life. He would die doing what he
could to injure those he blamed for his family's deaths. So
he set out to the home of the gods, Mount Olympus. He
marched for many days, somehow always finding food or
shelter when it was needed, but when he reached the base of
Mount Olympus, the challenges truly began. Howling wind,
driving rains, and blinding snow all attempted to blow him
from the side of the mountain as he climbed. He even had to
face the earth splitting open under his feet and lightning
strikes that came from nowhere. But nothing even slowed him
down.
He pulled himself on top of the mountain and saw the palace
of the gods. It's perfect beauty left no doubt as to that.
However, he was too angry to be impressed. He marched into
the center area, not even wondering about why the palace
seemed so empty, or where the gods were. He didn't question
it when the only one that he found was Zeus, lord of the
gods. He didn't question that Zeus seemed pale and sick.
And he didn't question that there was no resistance when he
struck with his sword. The farmer would never know that it
was the starmetal breastplate that had depleted Zeus to the
point where a simple, metal sword, which was special only
in the mind of his father, could kill a god.
When Zeus died, he exploded in a blast that destroyed the
top of the mountain. The farmer and his sword were utterly
destroyed in that blast. The starmetal was not so easily
eliminated. It was flung from the mountain top to crash in
the countryside.
After the dreams and beliefs of the newly emerging Roman
Empire formed new gods based on the old, the first thing
they did was eliminate all trace of this incident in the
minds of the people. It wouldn't do to have mortals know
that there was something that could kill a god.
A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE OFFICE...
"C'mon, Julie, you're the only one who can get close enough
to ask him."
"Yeah, but I don't know him that well. He's only a distant
cousin."
"So what's the harm in trying?"
Julie Baron really couldn't argue that one, even if she had
been talking with just some other worker in their little
political group and not the group's head, Roxanne Mathis.
Julie replied, "I don't know. I just don't like the idea of
bugging family for money."
"Believe me, I understand, but we need the money, he is
rich, he is your family, and I just found out that he is a
vegetarian."
Julie understood about the need for money. Their group was
a pro-vegetarian advocacy group, but unlike their more
militant peers, they only advocated the soft sell,
education of the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle.
Unfortunately, since they didn't make radical asses of
themselves, they didn't get the same press, and not getting
the same press, they didn't get as many donations, which
meant that they were always operating on a shoestring
budget, and as the group's treasurer, Julie knew that all
too well.
"All right, I'll go ask him, but I'm not guaranteeing
anything. I haven't seen him since when we were in high
school."
"All you need to do is ask. The worst that can happen is
that he'll turn us down."
After leaving Roxanne's office, Julie called her cousin,
Paul Becker, whereupon she had to get through a couple
levels of secretarial interference before she heard, "Hey,
Piddle Girl, it's been a long time. What can I do for you?"
"First off, you can forget that old nickname." The name
'Piddle Girl' was an unfortunate throwback to when she was
only five years old and she accidentally peed in the wading
pool.
Paul chuckled. "Sorry. But you can't convince me that this
is just a social call, not since it's been almost two
decades since the last time I saw you."
"No, it's not, but can I come see you? I've got something
to ask, but I don't want to just do it over the phone."
"Sure. You know where I live?"
"Yeah, I think I'd have to be living in a cave not to.
You've made quite a name for yourself in this town."
"I suppose I have. So when can I expect you?"
"The sooner, the better, I guess. Would you be busy for the
next couple of hours?"
"Not at all. How long will it take you to get here?"
"About 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the traffic lights."
"Then I'll see you in twenty."
Julie quickly got in her car and drove out to her cousin's
place. It was in the richest part of town, and his place
was one of the largest. Just getting there took fifteen
minutes, and the drive from the front gate took a couple
extra. As soon as she pulled up to the front steps, she was
met by a female valet who quickly took her car.
Another woman walked up to her and said, "Miss Baron, I am
Mr. Becker's personal secretary. I am here to escort you to
him."
"Okay, lead away."
The woman then proceeded to lead Julie through a mansion of
opulence that took longer to get through than it had taken
to drive up from the front gate. Finally, she was led
outside to an Olympic sized swimming pool that had around
20 or 30 women cavorting about like children.
Julie looked around and finally spotted one man amongst all
the women. He was reclining in a deck chair, dressed only
in a kilt, with a woman on her knees beside him doing his
nails, like some scene out of some college boy's Greek
themed fantasy.
Julie assumed that this was Paul, and she didn't know
whether she was more disappointed or angry, but she was
here for a reason, so when the secretary led her over to
the man, she swallowed her emotions and said, "Paul?"
The man looked up and in her general direction. "Hey,
Julie, haven't heard from you in a while. So how have you
been?"
"Doing okay, and you?"
"Definitely can't complain. So what can I do for you?"
"Well, I'm working for a local vegetarian lifestyle
advocacy group, and I hear that you're a vegetarian, so I
was wondering if I could hit you up for a donation."
"I might be able to arrange that, but first I'll have to
learn a few things." He turned to the woman at his side and
said, "Margaret, I've got some business," and tried to pull
his hand away.
The woman ignored him and kept a firm grip on his hand.
While continuing to file on his nails, she said, "You
haven't seen her in two decades, she can wait 30 seconds
more."
Paul looked back to Julie and shrugged. "I guess we're
going to have to wait."
After a little bit longer, the woman said, "Finished," and
stood up. She then waved the nail file at him and said,
"Next time, don't let those nails get so bad before coming
to me. Am I going to have to impose daily inspections?"
Paul raised his hands in mock fear. "No, ma'am, I'll be
good."
The woman said, "Good," while putting her nail file back
into her kit. She then leaned over and gave Paul an
affectionate kiss and went back to the pool.
Paul stood up, called out, "Linda, I've got some accounting
work," and turned towards the house. He then said to Julie,
"Shall we head to my study?"
Julie shrugged and said, "Sure."
Paul's secretary put her hand in the crook of his elbow as
a woman pulled herself out of the pool behind them. Paul,
without looking back to either Julie or the woman, said,
"Julie, this is Linda, my accountant." The two shared a
brief greeting before Paul started walking towards the
house.
At first, Julie was upset with her cousin, thinking that
because he had made it big, he was now treating everyone
around him like they were peasants, not bothering to look
at any of them. But as they walked, she noticed something.
His eyes never really focused on anything, barely even
seeming to notice doors and walls.
A little ways into the house, she asked, "Paul, are you
blind?"
Paul replied simply, "Damn near. I'm horribly near sighted,
can't see a thing past about ten feet, and even within
that, I can only make out vague outlines. It's enough so
that I don't walk into any walls or furniture, but not much
more."
"I'm so sorry to hear that, and I apologize for what I was
thinking."
"What exactly was that?"
"Well, with your not looking at anybody and that girl on
her knees beside you, I figured you'd become some kind of
stuck up, rich snob."
"I'd like to think that my blindness keeps me humble, and I
don't look at people because I can barely see them when
they're standing right in front me. As for Margaret, well,
she takes her job a little too seriously."
"What is her job?"
"She's my appearance manager. I'm not only near blind, I'm
also color blind, so I hired Margaret to make sure I always
look my best. She picks out my clothes, my hairstyle, makes
sure my nails are trim, that kind of stuff. I returned from
a business trip this morning, and when she saw my nails
just a little bit ago, she harangued me about letting them
get into that atrocious state. Not being able to see that
level of detail any more, I couldn't very well argue it
with her, but I suspect it wasn't as bad as she made it
out. In Margaret's mind, a chipped nail is cause for
emergency intervention."
"I don't think I could take that. I'd be screaming like a
banshee after just a day of that."
"Possibly, but a word of advice, if you have to make a
choice, always choose someone who'll over do their job,
rather than not do it properly. Besides, I know Margaret
does it because she cares, not only about her job, but
about me."
They finally got to Paul's study, a posh affair with soft,
plush chairs and a big, oak desk. Paul went to the chair
behind the desk, sat down, and said, "So tell me about this
little group you're a part of."
Julie sat down, hoping she didn't make too much of fool of
herself. She was her group's money cruncher. She was one of
the people who decided where the money went after they got
it. Getting it in the first place was not her strength.
"Okay, I don't have anything prepared though, so this is
going to be a little rough. Basically speaking, we're a
vegetarian lifestyle advocacy group. We try to educate
everyone as to the benefits. We try to get local
restaurants to offer vegetarian alternatives. That kind of
stuff."
"Before I make a decision, tell me something. Is your group
pro-vegetarian or pro-animal rights? Is your group one of
those that goes around throwing blood on people because
they're wearing furs?"
"No, sir, we are definitely not one of those. We are
strictly into the soft sell."
"Good, then I can agree to help you. How much money do you
need?"
"Right now, we could use about fifty to a hundred thousand,
but whatever you can give would be great."
Julie actually figured he'd offer less, which was why she
was so surprised when he said, "How about a million?"
"A million?"
"Too little? How about a million five? That should get you
through at least until the end of the year."
"And then some, but that's way more than I need. Can you
afford that?"
"Easily. I'll make that up in a couple of weeks. I assume
your group is a fully tax-exempt nonprofit organization."
"Yes, sir."
"Then we're in business. Linda, I need a check."
Linda stepped up and went to Paul's desk and got out a
check writing machine. As she worked it, Julie decided to
make small talk and said, "So, Paul, if you don't mind me
asking, how did you lose your eyesight? Was it a disease or
an accident or what?"
"Nope, it was just part of the cost of my success."
"What do you mean? You were too busy building up your
business to go to a doctor?"
"Not exactly."
"Well, what then?"
Paul smiled. "Tell me, Julie. Do you believe in magic?"
"You mean like stage tricks and illusions?"
"No, Julie. I mean real magic, the kind of stuff that can
turn the world on its ear."
"Not really. I mean if somebody showed me some kind of
evidence of it, I'd be willing to believe, but otherwise,
no."
"Get ready for evidence."
Paul opened the front desk drawer, reached into it, and
pressed some hidden switch, causing a section of the wall
behind him to rise up and reveal a safe.
"Wow. I never would have guessed that that safe was there."
"Yeah, I figured putting it behind a picture would just be
too cliche." Paul stood up, turned to and opened the safe,
and then reached inside. Julie couldn't see inside. The
safe seemed built to keep light out of it. Considering that
Paul was blind, it made sense. After a few seconds, Paul
pulled his hand out and said, "Here it is."
"Here what is?"
Paul held up a small gold coin so that Julie could see it.
"It's called the Taurus coin. It grants wishes."
"Be serious."
"I am being serious. This coin grants wishes."
"Alright then, show me. Make a wish."
"I can't. The coin only grants three wishes, and I've
already used three."
"Well, that's convenient."
"Believe me, I know how you feel. I wasn't too sure about
this thing when I first got it, but it definitely works."
"Okay, say I believe you, what's this got to do with your
blindness?"
"The coin requires a cost. The blindness was part of it."
"Only part of it? What else was involved?"
"My vegetarianism for one. Sometimes, part of me still
wants a steak or burger, but I wind up getting sick just at
the smell."
"Well, I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't your
choice, but it is better for you. Anything else?"
"These muscles. I didn't get these from working out."
"Doesn't seem like much of a cost. It seems more like a
fringe benefit."
"It might be if I had gained any extra ability to control
this body. I still think and act as though I were only a
hundred and seventy-five pounds. If I'm not real familiar
with my surroundings, then I have to go real slow or-"
"Or you're like a bull in a china shop?"
Paul smiled. "Exactly."
"Anything else?"
"Yeah, but I hesitate to talk about it. It's a little
private."
"Hey, if you can't talk private stuff with your family, who
can you talk with?"
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. The fact is,
every wish increased the size of my penis. Proverbially
speaking, I am now hung like a bull."
"And that's supposed to be a limitation?"
"It can be. First off, my clothes need to be extra baggy in
order to accommodate me, so nothing really fits or looks
good on me any more, and even with the baggiest boxers,
part of me is hanging out of the leg holes. Normally,
around the house, I go naked. I'm just wearing this kilt
because you're here."
"Still, considering everything you've got, this big house,
all your money, a huge, multinational corporation at your
beck and call, it definitely seems worth it."
"Oh, it is. I've got to say that the blindness scared the
hell out of me at first, but now that I've gotten used to
it, it's not so bad."
"I could definitely think of worse fates."
"Good." Paul tossed the coin to Julie, and she
instinctively caught it. "It's yours now."
As soon as Julie held the coin, she felt ideas and images
in her mind, everything Paul had told her and a little
more.
"I was thinking of passing it on to one of my kids, but
since I have no idea when that will be, I decided to give
it to you."
"Is this some kind of trick? Is there something on the coin
that is making me think these things in my head?"
"I know. In today's modern, practical society, we're not
supposed to believe in magic, but the coin is for real.
Look, if you're willing to pay the price and waste one
wish, use your first wish for something small, like the
girlfriend of your dreams."
"Why not the boyfriend of my dreams?"
"I thought you were a lesbian? Back in high school, you
never dated anything but girls, the most feminine girls the
school had, if I recall correctly."
"Yeah, well, it turns out it wasn't really the girls I was
attracted to."
"It wasn't?"
Julie shifted uncomfortably for a few seconds before
saying, "It turns out that I've got a nearly overpowering
fetish. I'm into skirts."
"I assume you're not talking about a slang term for girls."
"Nope. I'm into skirts, or more accurately, I'm into my
lovers wearing them. Nothing excites me more than the
thought of crawling under a skirt and sucking on what's
under there. What actually is under there doesn't really
matter to me. The longest, most intense relationship I ever
had was with a cross-dresser. I think we'd still be
together if his company hadn't transferred him to another
state."
"I'd never have guessed. So guys in skirts turn you on?"
"Anybody in skirts turns me on, the longer the skirt the
better. Miniskirts don't really do it for me, but if I see
somebody wearing one of those old Victorian style skirts,
where you HAD to lift it up as you walked, or you'd trip
over it, then I'm practically drooling."
Paul gave Julie a lascivious smile. "So what do you think
of me in this kilt?"
Julie knew he was teasing, just like he did when they were
young, so she playfully responded, "If you weren't my
cousin..."
Paul laughed. "But seriously, like I said, if you're
willing to use up a wish and pay the price for that wish,
then use it to wish for a lover who will only wear long,
long skirts."
"So what will happen? I'll make a wish and then become like
you?"
"Not completely. You only pay a little bit after each wish.
After my first wish, I became color blind, my muscles
developed some, I lost my ability to eat beef, and my penis
grew by four inches. I expect that you will have to deal
with the first three. As for that last one, I have no idea
how it will affect you."
Just after he said it, Julie got an image of herself with a
slightly bigger, more muscular body and a little penis,
something no bigger than a little boy's. She thought it was
just her imagination, but the image was more real than
anything she had ever imagined before.
Paul continued, saying, "Actually, you're kind of lucky.
Since you're already a full vegetarian, losing the ability
to eat meat won't be that big a deal."
"How did that progress? What did you lose after each wish?"
"Like I said, after the first wish, I lost my ability to
eat beef. After the second, I lost my ability to eat meat
from any animal. And after the last wish, I lost the
ability to eat foods that come out of what an animal
produces, like milk, cheese, eggs, that stuff. I've got to
admit, it is healthier for me, but there are times..."
"What happens if you eat meat?"
"I tried it once. One bite and I was retching all over my
shoes."
"What about the blindness? How did that go?"
"First wish, color blind. My second wish made me incredibly
nearsighted. My third wish rendered me unable to see
anything but the broadest details. Now, if you stop moving,
hold really still, you just blend into the background."
"I'm not sure I could handle that. I think I'd only wind up
making one or maybe two wishes."
"Well, that one or maybe two wishes is now yours to make.
Linda, after all this time, I assume the check is ready?"
"Yes, sir. Ready for your signature."
Linda put to check down in front of Paul's chair. After he
sat down, she guided his left hand to the left edge of the
check. Paul signed it with a flourish and handed it back to
Linda.
She gave it the once over before handing it to Julie and
saying, "Here you go, but with a check that large the bank
will require my personal authorization before they will
transfer the funds. I'll need your nonprofit organization
license number before I will grant that authorization."
Paul chided, "Linda, I'm sure we can trust my cousin."
"I'm sure we can, sir, but as your accountant, I don't want
to set the precedent of being lazy about handling your
money details."
Julie said, "Don't worry, Paul. I've done this so much that
I keep those numbers handy," and proceeded to dig in her
purse until she brought out a small card with the numbers
Linda needed. As Linda copied the numbers, Julie asked,
"Are you sure you want to give this coin to me?"
Paul said, "I'm sure. You've got a good head on your
shoulders. I know you'll use it wisely."
After some end of the talk small talk, Julie left with both
the check and the coin in her purse. She went to the bank,
deposited the check in the organization bank account, and
returned to the headquarters they were using. She had the
brief pleasure of watching Roxanne's eyes bug out at the
size of the check. After Roxanne announced the donation,
there was a brief celebration before Roxanne started
ordering people back to work, planning to use the money.
By the end of the day, Julie had all but forgotten the
coin. She only remembered it upon seeing it while digging
through her purse for her keys when it was time to go home.
The thought of the coin stuck in her mind as she drove, so
the first thing that she did when she got home was take the
coin out of her purse, before tossing the purse on an end
table. She then sat in her chair and stared at the coin,
thinking.
Finally, she asked, "Are you for real?" Nothing happened,
of course, and she felt a little foolish for having
questioned an inanimate object. She stared at it for a
little longer before saying, "I guess the only way to find
out is to try you."
She briefly considered wishing for the entire city to be
vegetarians, but decided against it. She wanted people to
realize the superiority of being a vegetarian because it
was superior, not because some magic coin made them do it.
She decided that as Paul had suggested, she'd make a wish
for romance.
The problem was who would she wish for. She had a real bad
track record for picking lovers. Far too often, her
attraction to the length of the skirt the person was
wearing would interfere with her common sense, and she'd
wind up dating someone who was a real jerk.
Finally, she decided that since she was willing to pay the
cost for this wish, she might as will make the coin do the
work. "I wish that the person at my office best suited to
become my lifemate will want to wear only female clothes
below the waist; no girl pants, just skirts, slips,
panties, and when they want to go all out, dresses."
As soon as she finished her wish, the world shifted into
black and white. The effect was incredibly disconcerting,
and she almost made another wish to get her eyesight back,
but decided against it. The coin demanded a price for its
wishes, and even if she could wish for her eyesight to be
normal, she wasn't even sure what other costs would be
involved in a second wish.
However, as soon as she wondered, she got this image of
herself as a bigger, more muscular version with a large
cock hanging from her crotch. Seeing this, her hand went to
her own crotch to feel if anything had changed, and she
definitely felt something. After setting the coin down, she
stood up and took her pants off. Sure enough, she found
that she now had a four inch cock, just like in the image
she got back from Paul's house.
She decided that she needed to get a good look at herself,
so she headed to the bathroom. As she walked, she noticed
that her clothes were a little tighter on her, nothing too
bad, but definitely different. Once she got into the
bathroom, she stripped off her blouse and bra. Looking at
herself in the mirror, she noticed that she looked exactly
like she had envisioned before, not just close, but EXACTLY
the same.
She returned to her living room and picked up the coin.
"That image that I saw before wasn't my imagination, was
it? That was you showing me what I'd look like after my
wish. Wasn't it?"
Julie was surprised when she actually got an answer. It
wasn't in any definitive words or thoughts. It was just a
feeling in the affirmative.
Julie asked, "Was the second image what I would look like
if I made a second wish?" Again she got an affirmative
feeling.
"Could I get a side by side view so that I could make a
comparison?" She saw both images in her mind. The one with
the larger cock was just a little taller as well as more
muscular, and its cock was about twice the size.
"Could I see what I would look like after three wishes,
again in comparison?"
A third image appeared beside the other two. This one, at
least to Julie, looked like a very muscular man. Seeing all
three images side by side, there was a definite progression
towards masculinity. The first image looked like a very
muscular woman. The second would give most people fits
trying to guess whether it was a super muscular woman or a
kind of curvy, yet muscular guy. The last one, however, was
definitely male, at least in appearance.
She shook her head and said, "Okay, that's enough. Thanks
for the information, but I don't plan on making another
wish unless I have to."
Julie went into her bedroom and put the coin in the back of
her lingerie drawer, and then went to sleep.
THE NEXT DAY, NOON...
Julie walked through the lingerie department at the local
Wal-Mart. She hadn't planned on going shopping on her lunch
break, but the bra she had been wearing was starting to cut
into her. Her other clothes, although tight, could have
waited, but that bra had to go.
Her first stop was the cashier, where she knew they kept a
tape measure so customers could measure themselves. The
cashiers weren't really trained to do the sizing for you,
but they tried to help where they could. Julie didn't know
if this was standard policy for Wal-Mart, but she was glad
it was policy where she was.
Inside the dressing room, she took her measurements as best
she could. She used to be a perfect 36 C. After measuring,
she was only slightly surprised to find out she was now a
38 B.
After selecting a couple of new bras, trying them on to
fit, and buying them, on her way out of the store she was
surprised to see Craig Johnson wandering through the
lingerie section, looking at panties. Craig was a local boy
who volunteered at the vegetarian advocacy office whenever
he could, which with summer having started, was pretty
often now.
At first, Julie didn't think anything about it, but then
remembered her wish. She hadn't seen anybody in the office
wearing skirts except for a couple of ladies for whom it
wasn't unusual. Julie had figured that one of those ladies
would turn out to be the recipient of her wish, but that
she'd have to wait to see if they wound up wearing skirts
every day.
But seeing Craig here made her wonder if he was going to be
the person targeted by the wish. Craig would not have been
her first guess. He was just a kid, for Christ's sake.
Okay, he was legal and closer to his nineteenth birthday
than his eighteenth (and definitely a cute, hot stud), but
he had only just graduated high school a couple of months
ago, and she was in her mid 30's.
She watched Craig shuffle about a bit and decided that she
could find out what Craig was doing here. This would all be
a moot point if it turned out that he was really just here
to buy a gift for a girlfriend.
She walked over to him and said, "Hey, Craig, what's up?"
"Oh, uhm, nothing."
"Whatcha doing here?"
"Oh, gee... I'm just... Miss Baron, could I confide in
you?"
"Sure, I can keep a secret."
"Well, it's just that since last night..."
"Yes?"
"I've just had this urge..."
"Urge for what?" Craig shuffled around a bit, not wanting
to admit to anything. "If it'll make it any easier, you can
lean in close and whisper it in my ear."
Craig looked around the store first, then leaned over and
whispered, "I want to try wearing skirts."
In a slightly lower than normal voice, Julie said, "Nothing
wrong with that. A lot of guys are getting into dressing in
female clothes these days. I mean, it's not some huge
percentage, but it's not all that uncommon. But you know
that there's no rule that says that you'll have to wear
panties if you wear a skirt. You could wear your normal
underwear if you wanted."
"Yeah, I know, but I wanted to get the full feeling of
wearing only girl clothes below the waist. I know it sounds
like I'm making excuses, but I think it'll feel a little
less weird than if I were wearing briefs under a skirt."
"I think I understand. So what's wrong? You feeling a
little embarrassed? Would you like me to buy the clothes
you want for you?"
"Well, I am feeling a little weird about this, but the real
problem I'm having is that I don't know the first thing
about how to buy women's clothes. What size to I get? What
color? Is there any difference between brands, and if so,
what?"
"I can help you with that if you want. Everything but
color, that is. I'm color blind."
"Really? I'd never have guessed."
"Well, it's just came on real recently."
"Really? I've never heard of color blindness coming on. I
thought you were born with it. Have you talked to a doctor
about it?"
"I'm still working things out with it, but that's neither
here nor there. Let's get you into a skirt."
The two spent the rest of Julie's lunch hour getting Craig
a couple of skirts, a couple pairs of panties, a slip, and
a couple pair of pantyhose. None of it was real expensive,
but it was all Craig could afford until he got his next
paycheck from his part-time job at McDonald's.
While they shopped, they also talked, and Julie found out
some things that led her to believe that Craig was the
person that had been affected by her wish (other than his
new-found interest in skirts). He was really kind, a good
listener, had been a vegetarian since he was twelve years
old, and wanted to eventually become a veterinarian.
But he was just so young.
He still lived at home. His greatest achievement in life up
to that point had been scoring third in the state spelling
bee when he had been in sixth grade, which, according to
him, just barely beat out being on the third place team in
a high school State football championships. He had also
never drank, never voted in a national election, and the
War on Terrorism was the first major military action he
could remember in his life.
Julie decided that she'd wait for him to make the first
move, if only because she didn't want be accused of robbing
the cradle. However, she almost relented when she saw him
in his skirt. God, he was hot, and when he twirled in place
to model it for her, she almost tackled him in the middle
of the store.
He had the evening off, so they both went to the office to
help out. With all the money that Paul had given to them,
they were planning a bulk mailing larger than any they had
ever done, so there was plenty of work to go around. At
first, Craig was a little self-conscious about being in a
skirt, but no one at the office really cared, so he quickly
adjusted.
At the end of the day, Paul had to leave a couple of hours
earlier than Julie, so she just had to drive home with
thoughts of him in a skirt. She considered that a lucky
thing, though. Seeing him at work all afternoon in a skirt
had her new four inch addition straining at her panties and
demanding attention.
As she walked down the hall to her apartment, she saw Craig
sitting on the floor in front of her door, his head buried
in his knees.
She walked up and asked, "Craig, what are you doing here?"
When he lifted his head, Julie saw that he had been crying.
He told her, "When I got home and my mom saw me wearing a
skirt, she freaked. She spent a half-hour haranguing me and
asking what other people would think of her if they saw me
in a skirt. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and left,
with her telling me never to come back."
"Oh, God, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault."
"It's not your fault. You were just trying to help me out."
"No, it's really my fault. Come on inside. Have I got a
story for you."
Once she got inside and they were seated comfortably, she
got out the coin and explained everything to him, from
Paul's story to their shopping trip earlier that day.
After she finished, she asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't know whether to be relieved, angry, or call you
crazy. Are you serious? That coin grants wishes?"
"Yes, it does. Hold it for a second, and you'll see what I
mean."
Julie held out the coin to him, and he took. After just a
couple seconds he said, "Wow!"
"Craig, I'm sorry. I didn't think that you'd be the person
affected. Truth is, I didn't really consider what my wish
would do to the person I was wishing for. I never meant to
hurt anybody. If you want, I'll use my second wish to get
you back to normal."
Craig considered it for a few seconds before holding up the
coin and saying, "I wish that I would legally come into
enough money in the next 24 hours that I could live well
off the interest for the rest of my life." Then he handed
the coin back to Julie and said, "There. Now I won't be a
burden on you when you let me move in here."
"Who said anything about you moving in?"
"Well, since you're responsible for my current state, I
figure you need to let me stay, if only for the night, but
aren't you curious to see how compatible we really are?"
"Yeah, but what about your mom?"
"Mom was never real supportive of me. After I decided to be
a vegetarian, she'd often say, 'It's only a little bit of
meat,' while putting a plate full right in front of me. I
really should've seen this coming, and I have been looking
for a better job so that I could move out anyway. This way,
I get a really hot girlfriend in the bargain."
"But you're so young!"
"All the better to please you. They say that women hit
their sexual peak in their 30's, and a man will hit it at
18, so we're perfect for each other."
"I don't know about perfect."
"Well, let's see."
When Craig stood up, they heard his shirt rip at the seams.
When he stripped it off, Julie said, "It's all those new
muscles you got from your wish."
Craig posed a few times and asked, "So what do you think?"
Seeing this hot, muscled stud in nothing but a skirt had
Julie practically drooling. She commented, "Well, I guess
we could try this for a while."
That evening, they tried each other out. Julie found out
that Craig was bisexual and loved sucking on her little
cock. She got a good surprise for her when she crawled
under his skirt and found Craig had started large with
eight inches of man meat and was, thanks to his wish, now
the possessor of a foot long cock. She also delighted in
the fact that he had no problem with fucking her while the
skirt was on.
The next morning, they found out that Craig was the winner
of the state lottery, over fifteen million dollars. Even
with the fact that the payments would be spread out over 30
years, the interest would still be more than enough to live
on.
TWO MONTHS LATER...
Julie was working late at the office again. The money that
Paul had donated was still funding a number of fliers and
pamphlets, and now they were planning a few speeches at
local schools and halls, so she was putting in extra hours
working out money details.
She and Craig were still going strong, although he couldn't
put in as much time at the office as she did since he was
in the process of getting registered for college.
She just left the office and was walking alone to her car,
as she had done many times before, forgetting to even look
around. When she got to the car, she felt someone push her
forward against it and then felt a sharp, pointy object
pressed into her back.
A strange voice said, "Uppity bitch, with all your muscles.
Probably think you're better than men. Well, what good are
your muscles now?"
The stranger reached around and started to fumble with her
pants. She might have been able to do something, but she
was paralyzed with fear, too scared to even scream.
Luckily, before the man could even get her pants open, she
heard Roxanne yell, "Hey, stop it!" and heard a gun go off.
The man let her go and ran off. Roxanne ran up beside her
and asked, "Are you okay?"
Julie could only nod. Roxanne said, "I'll take you home.
You or Craig can come back for the car tomorrow." Julie
allowed herself to be escorted to Roxanne's car and meekly
got in. Once Roxanne went around and got inside, Julie
broke down in tears. Roxanne wrapped her arms around Julie
and said, "It's okay. You go ahead and cry it all out."
After a long while, the tears finally slowed and Julie
said, "Oh, God, what just happened?"
Roxanne didn't answer, feeling the answer was obvious and
would only remind Julie unnecessarily. Instead, she asked,
"Did he say anything to you when he grabbed you?"
"He said something about me thinking my muscles made me
better than men."
"Sounds like the Athlete Rapist."
"Who?"
"The Athlete Rapist. Don't you watch the news?"
Julie shook her head and weakly said, "Too depressing."
"Maybe you ought to start. The Athlete Rapist is a serial
rapist who attacks women with well-developed bodies. He
seems to think that women who work out are a challenge to
men everywhere. I thought his stalking grounds were the
University and the surrounding suburbs. I guess he's
starting to branch out."
"Lucky me."
Roxanne hugged her and said, "We better go make a report to
the police so that they know where this guy is."
After going to the police station and making a report.
Roxanne drove Julie home. Craig was there and held Julie
through another crying fit as Roxanne explained what
happened. Julie cried herself to sleep, whereupon Roxanne
told Craig the both of them could take as much time as they
needed and then left. Craig carried Julie into bed, tucked
her in, crawled into bed beside her, and fell asleep.
Halfway through the night, Julie got up, went and got the
coin, and wished, "I wished that that damned asshole who
tried to rape me tonight would fry in hell for what he
did." When nothing happened, her eyesight didn't get worse
and her penis didn't grow, Julie shook the coin and yelled,
"Work, damn you!"
Craig woke up at her yelling and asked, "Babe, what's
wrong?"
"This damned coin won't grant my wish! I want that man to
be punished for what he did to me!"
Craig got up, his nightgown fluttering around him, and
said, "So ask it what's wrong. I don't think it's alive or
anything, but it does respond to thoughts, and it doesn't
seem to want to hide anything about how it works."
Julie stared intently at the coin. After a little while,
she said, "It won't grant wishes of hate or malice, no
matter how much the target deserves it."
Craig walked over and put his hand on the one of hers that
was holding the coin. "So put aside, temporarily, your hate
for him and think about what he might do if he keeps
getting away without being punished. Then think about
something that would really punish him, not just death, but
a real punishment. Then make your wish, not about
vengeance, but about justice, to protect anybody else from
going through what you're going through."
Julie thought about it and then said, "I wish that the man
who attacked me earlier would become my slave." When
nothing happened, she said, "It didn't work."
"Perhaps it's for the best. Much as I'd like to see what
happens to you after another wish or two, I think you're
thinking too much about what that guy did to you, and not
enough about the cost of the wish."
Julie sagged against Craig. "You don't understand. You
don't know what it's like to have a predator like that out
there, to know that there's somebody out there who is
willing to do what that animal tried to do, to know that
fear."
"You're right. I don't know. Maybe you should think about
protecting yourself from people like him, instead of trying
to target that specific criminal, make a wish for
protection instead of vengeance."
For a few seconds, Julie was content to just stand there
and be held, but eventually, she brought the coin up to eye
level and said, "I wish that anybody who is trying or has
tried to force me into sex in perpetuity will desire only
to seek me out and make themselves my utter and total
slave." Both Craig and Julie instantly knew that the wish
had worked because Julie grew by a couple of inches.
Craig unnecessarily said, "I guess it worked."
Julie reached down and took her now eight inch cock in
hand. "I guess so."
Craig licked his lips. "Considering what you went through
today, is it too early to try that out?"
Julie smiled. "You are an incorrigible guy, but lucky for
you, right now I'm feeling very guy-like myself, so what
would you like to do?"
"I plan on starting by giving you a blowjob, and then,
since you're now big enough, I want you to jam that big,
stiff rod into my ass."
"Oh, God, I am becoming a guy. Despite everything that has
happened, all I can think of right now is that I want to
fuck you, so bring it on, my boyfriend."
Craig said nothing more, instead going to his knees in
front of her. He leaned forward, took her dick in hand, and
sucked it into his mouth. He only went up and down on it a
couple of times before Julie grabbed the top of his head
and started fucking his face.
After just a little while, she screamed, "Cumming!" and
shot something into his mouth.
After she relaxed, she let go of Craig's head and said,
"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I just felt
this need to... dominate you."
Craig stood up. "It's okay. Occasionally, I like it a
little rough, and I haven't had it rough since I started
wearing skirts."
"You should've told me. I would have roughened it up."
"I should qualify that I like my male lovers to get a
little rough. Since you were playing female to my male,
what you were doing was great. Now that you've actually got
something to fuck with, I want you to dominate me, nothing
painful or anything, but enough to show me who's in
charge."
Julie smiled. "Alright then, you can start with a hand job
to get me all nice and hard again. I claimed your mouth, so
now I want to claim your other end."
"Yes, ma'am."
Craig stood beside Julie and wrapped an arm around her
waist. With his free hand, he took her dick and started
stroking. In less than a minute, a surprisingly small time
considering her last orgasm, she was rock hard again.
Once hard, she said, "Over to the bed with you. I want you
on the bed on your knees, so I can really claim you."
"Yes, ma'am!" Craig ran over to the bed, got on it on his
hands and knees, looked over his shoulder, and said, "Bring
it on, lover."
Julie walked over to the bed and got up on it behind him.
She flipped the edge of his nightgown, his 'skirt' as it
were, up on his back, took her dick in hand, and slid it
into his backside.
When he moaned, she asked, "Do you like that?"
"Oh, yes!"
"Well, get ready for all eight inches of me!"
Without giving him even a moment to prepare, she grabbed
his hips and slammed into him. He screeched in masculine
pleasure and began to mouth words of encouragement as she
again and again slammed against him. He took his own cock
and nightgown in hand and stroked himself as she fucked
him. They went on like that, losing themselves to the
pleasure, until both screamed in orgasm, whereupon they
collapsed together on the bed.
While resting, they heard someone pound on the wall from
the next door apartment and yell, "Hey, keep it down in
there!"
Both laughed, and Craig said, "I guess we're going to have
to move sooner than we thought."
"Which means that unless we find someone to sublet soon,
we're going to have to tap the principal of your lottery
winnings. Unless something else presents itself."
THE NEXT DAY...
Julie and Craig worked the advocacy office all the next
day. Although everyone seemed to notice that there was
something different about Julie, no one could actually put
their finger on what it was; both guessed it was part of
the coin's magic.
Close to the end of the day, Roxanne sent Craig on a trip
to the post office. Shortly after he was gone, Roxanne
called Julie into her office. Once Julie was inside,
Roxanne closed the door and locked it behind her. Roxanne
and walked over to her desk and struck a sexy pose, leaning
against it.
Roxanne asked, "Julie, did I ever tell you that I was a
lesbian, and that I like my girls really, really muscular?"
"I think you mentioned that you were a lesbian, but I don't
think the muscular thing ever came up."
Roxanne and started rubbing her hands on Julie's muscles.
"Did I tell you that for quite some time now, I've been
finding you really attractive? Quite frankly, I don't know
why haven't made a pass at you yet, but all today, I've
been practically drooling in my shorts over you."
"Well, I don't know. I don't want to cheat on Craig."
Julie was only teasing. She and Craig had talked about it,
and they determined that as long as they were honest about
it, they would have an open relationship.
But Roxanne thought she was truly being rebuffed, so she
angrily said, "Y'know, I could make your life very hard
around here, particularly with this new nearsightedness of
yours." Almost immediately, Roxanne fell to her knees and
wrapped her arms around Julie's ankles. "I'm sorry,
mistress! I could never make life hard for you. I prostrate
myself before you and dedicate the rest of my life to
fulfilling your every whim."
"Roxanne! I was just kidding. Why did you have to try to
force me into sex? I never meant for you to become my
slave."
Without even looking up, Roxanne replied, "My inability to
understand that you were kidding is proof positive that I
should not be in charge of my own life. Order me, mistress.
I am yours to command."
Julie sighed. "First off, stand up." Roxanne did as
commanded. "Next, I want you to act like you used to, like
my friend, not like a slave."
"But why, mistress? That is what I am, a slave to your
glory."
Frustrated, Julie snapped, "Because I order it!"
"My apologies, Julie. I cannot help but want to show you
how much I adore you."
Julie hugged Roxanne to her. "I'm sorry, Roxanne. When we
get home tonight, I'll find a way to fix this."
"Fix what?"
"Never mind. Just keep treating me like you used to. That's
all I want."
"Okay, Julie, I can do that."
Julie gave Roxanne another hug. They might have done
something more, but Julie was feeling way too guilty, so
instead, she asked, "Is there anything business related you
need to ask me?"
"No. Sorry to bother you."
Julie gave Roxanne a quick kiss and returned to the main
room. When Craig returned, Julie took him aside and
explained what happened. Then she said, "I guess we'll have
to make another wish. Rather, I'll have to make a wish."
"But that would be your last wish. I'll handle it."
"But you weren't planning on making any more wishes, and
this isn't your problem. I messed up. I'll handle it."
"No way!"
They might have continued arguing, but Craig's last
exclamation had started to attract too much attention, so
they agreed to wait until they were home to continue their
argument.
At the end of work, they waited until everyone else was
gone, and then the three of them left together. As they
walked through the parking lot, they noticed a man waiting
by Julie's car. When they got close enough, Roxanne
identified him as the man who had attacked Julie. As soon
as they got close enough, the man threw himself to the
ground and, like Roxanne earlier, proclaimed his love and
slavery for Julie.
She simply said, "From you, I'll accept it." Julie walked
to the back of her car, opened the trunk, and said, "You
ride back here."
Without a word of protest, the man climbed in, and Julie
shut the trunk.
They drove to Julie's and went inside, stopping only long
enough to let the rapist out of the trunk. Once inside,
Julie ordered him to strip to nothing and lie face down on
the floor, and not to move until she said otherwise. She
let out a frustrated sigh when Roxanne volunteered to strip
as well. She ordered Roxanne to follow and went into the
bedroom.
In the bedroom, she saw Craig getting the coin out of their
lingerie drawer. She immediately stated, "Put it down!"
Craig put the coin down on top of the dresser. "Don't
worry. I wasn't going to make a wish without talking to you
first. But I am the best choice to make the wish to fix
this."
"No way. This is my mistake, so it's my job to fix it.
Besides, if you make a second wish, whose going to be
driving around town for both of us? I can barely see the
end of the car, and your eyesight won't be much better."
"That's a weak argument, and you know it. We can afford to
hire a driver. Can you face being almost blind?"
"If I have to."
Before Craig could continue the argument, they heard
Roxanne say, "I wish that whatever it is that Julie needs
fixing would get fixed."
They looked over and saw that Roxanne was now a more
muscular version of her old self and that she was now
holding the coin.
Roxanne looked around and said, "So now I'm colorblind."
She handed the coin to Craig. "Here. You better take this
back."
Julie asked, "What happened?"
"As your slave, I saw that you needed something to be fixed
and that you thought wishing on this coin would fix it, so
while you were distracted by your argument with Craig, I
snuck around and made the wish. I never thought it would
actually work, although I guess it's appropriate that my
wish would fix my mistake."
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Julie asked, "Why,
Roxanne? Why did you try to force me into sex? I would
gladly have taken you to my bed. How could you,
particularly knowing what I had just gone through
yesterday?"
Roxanne stared at the floor shamefully and considered her
words. Finally, she said, "I'm sorry. It's just that all my
life... Well, a friend in college called it the eighty
percent problem. I'm prettier than eighty percent of the
population, prettier than four out of five people. Problem
is, everybody knows least five people, which means that
everybody knows at least one person prettier than I am. All
my life, I've always been everybody's second choice, the
person they were willing to date only if the pretty one
wasn't available, and most would discard me if the pretty
one did become available. It's not excuse, but when you
said no, even just kidding, it brought up a lot of bad
memories. If you never want to talk to me again, I
understand."
Julie walked over and hugged Roxanne. "Don't worry. I'll
still talk to you. It might have been different if you had
succeeded, but you didn't, so don't worry about it."
After the hug ended, Roxanne asked, "If it's not too much
to ask, could I have another wish on that coin? Since it is
here, I'd like to make myself a little prettier."
"Are you sure you want to do that? I think you're pretty
enough, and the costs for that wish are a lot bigger. Your
eyesight gets worse, you get bigger and clumsier, although
not too bad as long as you move slow, and this," Julie
grabbed Roxanne's crotch, letting her know what was there,
"gets a lot bigger."
"Wow! I was so distracted by the loss of color sight, that
I didn't even know that was there."
"And it'll grow to twice size with another wish. If it's
like mine, it's four inches now."
"So I'll have an eight inch cock?"
"Exactly."
Roxanne considered it, but from the look on her face, it
was clear that she wasn't having a problem with it. "I'd
still like to use the coin."
Craig said, "I don't have a problem with it."
Julie shrugged and said, "I guess it's okay with me, too."
Craig handed the coin back to Roxanne. Roxanne held it up
and said, "I wish that I had a big, sexy, beautiful body
with big tits and a big nine inch cock."
Just like that, Roxanne became what looked like a female
body builder or some kind of female wrestler. She handed
the coin back to Craig and with the simple flexing of her
muscles that that required, her clothing ripped clean
through.
Roxanne stared at her arms as she flexed them a few times,
and then she said, "This is so cool. I need to see what I
look like."
Julie said, "There's a mirror in the bathroom."
Roxanne started to move, but then said, "Damn! These
clothes are too small to move in now," and ripped the
remains of her clothes right off. Once her clothes were
off, it was clear that she had more than a simple nine inch
cock. Before anyone could comment, Roxanne ran to the
bathroom. They heard, "Damn! I am hot!"
When Roxanne returned, she said, "On a side note, the
rapist is still out there. What do you plan on doing with
him?"
Julie said, "I haven't even thought about him."
Craig asked, "Mind if I make a suggestion?"
"Go ahead."
"Let's put him to work in the porn industry. We can start
him off as a submissive in gay BDSM films, and then he can
pay for his own transformation into a submissive shemale."
"Sounds like just the thing." Julie turned and started to
approach Roxanne. "Now let's see how big we can get that
member of yours."
Roxanne just gave a happy squeal.
During sex, they discovered that Roxanne, when hard, was
thirteen inches, nine inches from her wish, and four as
cost for the wish. Roxanne also discovered that as long as
she was doing the fucking, she had absolutely no problem
with sex with guys.
TWO MONTHS LATER...
Julie was taking a break after directing the moving men in
unloading the stuff at the new house that she, Craig, and
Roxanne had decided to move to. Craig and Roxanne were
working at the advocacy office, Bubbles (the new name that
they had given their slave) was recovering from her breast
implant surgery at the hospital, and the movers were gone
for the day, so she was alone, just watching some TV.
She was about to turn it off and find something else to do
when a news report came on about a rapist attacking women
in New York. It was far away from her, but she couldn't
help but feel touched by it.
She got her purse and got the coin. They didn't want to
lose that, so it wasn't packed in any of the boxes. She
knew that both Roxanne and Craig would try to stop her, but
she felt like she had to do something.
She held up the coin and said, "I wish that every person
who has ever raped somebody in this city would come to me
and become my slave."
Julie then carefully put the coin back in her purse and sat
down on the floor, for now her eyesight was so bad that she
couldn't even safely get out of the room.
When Craig and Roxanne got home, Julie dissolved into
tears. Even with them there, she felt alone and lost in a
world she could no longer see.
SIX MONTHS LATER...
Julie sat beside the pool of her new mansion. Bubbles,
looking very feminine, was between her legs, sucking her
dick. The other slaves that Julie had acquired were now
servants at the mansion and worked as porn actors in their
off hours, all in various degrees of feminization.
After Julie's last wish, about 40 people showed up the next
day proclaiming their adoration for Julie. Any with wives,
girlfriends, or children were sent home with orders to love
their dependents, otherwise act normal, and never to rape
another person again. The remaining 25 were set on the same
path as Bubbles. All were made to confess all of their
violent crimes, and depending upon how bad those were, that
would determine how far they would go along that path. Some
were stopped at simple cross dressing. Others got some
plastic surgery. A few went the full path with big breast
implants and big penile implants so they could be big-
dicked, big breasted shemales. With all these porn stars
handing over every dime of their income, the three of them
were quite rich.
Craig had taken a few of the new slaves and, with carefully
prepared scripts, had tried to fix Julie's eyesight, but
the best he could accomplish was to give her very bad, very
near sighted vision. With very thick glasses, everything up
to about twenty feet appeared as blurry, bleached out,
indistinct figures.
Julie now appeared to be completely male, and decided to go
by the name Jules. Her periods, which had been getting
milder after each wish, had ceased altogether after the
third wish. She still had a pussy, but it had closed so
tight that it was filled by just two fingers. The pussy was
also hidden by the two balls that had descended after the
third wish. She had gotten herself tested and found herself
to be totally fertile as a male. Her nipples had become
puffy, little points on her otherwise flat, broad, manly
chest.
All three agreed that having rapists from all over the
country seek them out in order to become slaves would be
too unworkable, but they wanted to try something, so, again
with carefully laid out scripts, they used a slave to wish
that all the rapists in a nearby city would realize the
error of their ways, figuring that if it worked, they could
try it on a larger scale. After hearing about a rash of
rapists committing suicide, they had to admit that it was
too big a problem for three people to solve, no matter how
well-intentioned.
They all still worked at the advocacy office, but
Julie/Jules could no longer see the accounting figures, so
had relinquished his/her position as treasurer to someone
new.
Julie/Jules had been feeling guilty about causing the
deaths of those rapists. The men themselves she hadn't
really cared about, but some of them had wives and kids.
So, after discussing it with Craig and Roxanne, she found
the name and address of the largest family who had lost
their father and mailed them the coin anonymously along
with a note explaining what it was.
