Muscle Absorption

[leedwards2005]

There was a 2003 B-movie called "Leeches" :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339288/

The theme of carnivorous leeches which grew due to steroid atheletes was interesting .

A split from the story would have a skinny teen with an apetite . As he feeds on the muscle jocks he gains muscle . The jocks don't suffer or die but lose a little muscle mass . He "absorbs" the muscles and starts bulking up .

The teen gains confidence , popularity . Now he has three problems :

1) controlling his apetite as with every "feeding" he wants more "nourishment" .

2) finding new clothes as he outgrows them and


3)convincing his mom that he's a [COLOR=yellow]"growing boy"[/COLOR] .


Now , I know that there were [COLOR=red]X-files[/COLOR] episodes and a [COLOR=deepskyblue]Smallville[/COLOR] episode that had a similar theme .

I am not a writer but if anyone wants to take this theme and run with it , feel free .

It would be a new addition to the [COLOR=yellow]Stories Section[/COLOR] .

Sounds like a very hot idea. Why don't you try and write it?

The Smallville episode to which you're probably referring was also entitled, 'Leech' in which Clark is attempting to save a classmate when a lightning strike transfers his powers to the classmate, who is a lot less inhibited to use them to his own gain. It was from season 1 and one of my favorites as he does several demonstrations, including benchpressing 600 pounds with ease, flipping an SUV with one hand and basically wreaking havoc around town until Clark can figure out how to 're-capture' his powers.

The truth is that I can't afford the time necessary to write the story . Work is time consuming and is unavoidable .

I was just thinking that the main character can start off at 15 or 16 years old .
