Grow Up

Jack stood outside the gym, his sunken chest heaving with exertion as he tried to catch his breath. He could feel his cheeks burning red with the combined time bomb of anger and embarassment, the memory of what just happened white-hot fresh in his mind.

It was bad enough the musclebound wolf pulled down Jack's shorts in front of everyone, exposing his genitalia to everyone, but when they laughed at his tiny erection...he had to scramble to the outside before he did the Bad Thing. It was so hard to control his thoughts when he was angry, the slightest slip of his control could cause Lord knows what kind of trouble.

He couldn't control his breathing, all he could see was everyone laughing at him. Taunting him. Just because he was a scrawny kitten of a tiger. That was why he was going to the gym, to perhaps get some tips on how to bulk up. He couldn't bring himself to do it the other way for fear of what might happen. There were other ways, safer ways.

If Jack were able to distance himself, he'd be proud of how he was coping with this situation. Worse things had happened to people for lesser infractions to his pride, but this...this was a test, and nothing Bad was happening.

"Hey, runt! You might need this for when pubery finally hits you!" The howl of laughter followed the extra-large sized jockstrap as it hit Jack right on the muzzle.

Jack felt a surge of rage burn through his body, and for one moment he let a stray thought slip from his mind.

Grow up, you fucker.

The wolf's entire body froze for a moment, then his muscular frame started to swell quickly as the he grew, bursting out of his clothes as the muscles under his stretched-out fur ballooned out in herculean proportions, the heels of the wolf's footpaws slamming into the front of the gym while the toes stretched out into the street rapidly. The now-collossal wolf stumbled backwards in fear of his new size, his paws crashing into the gym like it was made of cardboard, bricks, steel, and cement raining death onto those still inside.

He was still growing as he fled from Jack, demolishing building after building as he tried to escape his punishment. Within 30 seconds, the wolf would be dead from the shock of the sudden growth. In that 30 seconds, 28 people would be dead, 34 would be injured, followed by 12 additional people dead, crushed by the wolf's bulk as he collapsed.

All because Jack wanted the wolf to leave him alone, to grow up.
