BB Book Store

[tattcub]

Hey guys,

Another attempt at a story. This definately influenced by the almighty Aardvark whos photobooth series takes my breat away. And Yachirobi who suggested it.


Hope you don't mind me trying this idea out.

thanks

[COLOR=white]David was bored. He had an interview at 2pm for a job as an intern in a local accountancy firm a few streets down and was an hour early. He’d already checked the address out and it was as he thought a dry dead end sort of place. He’d be the youngest guy in there by about ten years.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]What to do. He was bored sitting in the coffee store playing with his mobile so decided to go for a walk. He caught his reflection in the window as he left and shook his head. If truth be told he looked like an accountant. Slim, mousy and he was painfully shy. He looked at his brown short hair and brown eyes. He’d never really taken any risks in his life but at least he was safe. He lived with his parents still and that was easy. He did the normal stuff a guy like him would do. He had a few friends who were all similar to him, slightly geeky, all a little unfit and not one of them with a girl or boyfriend come to think of it. He was short-sighted as well, hence the specs and he was also carrying a briefcase for the interview. “Way to conform to a stereotype David” he chuckled to himself.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He was a good guy though. Hard working and honest he went out of his way to help people in need and never really complained about his life. His parents loved him very much but if truth be told they wanted him to get out in the real world a little more. His dad had even suggested he go out and get laid. That was a talk David never wanted to repeat.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He was looking into the windows of the various stores when he noticed across the street a bookstore. The sign said BB’s Book Store. “BB sounds like a 1950’s housewife” he thought. Being who he was though he knew he was going to go in and browse. He loved these sorts of places. You get a sense of the past in these old stores. All those lives in the pages there’s something magical about them.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He entered the store. There was a counter at the front and behind it sat a young man who looked up from a book as he entered “Good afternoon sir, can I help you?” said the shop assistant. “Er..Not really” said David “I’m just looking; I have some time to kill” He looked at the young guy sheepishly” If that’s okay?” The assistant smiled and said “No problem, feel free to wander. We have a large selection here. Our biography section is particularly popular” He nodded down the stacks into the shadows of the shop.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]David wandered away from the front of the store into its depths. He went past general interests and cooking sections and even passed through the horror and sci-fi sections. He was conscious of the time and was only just having a quick look. He found himself in the biography section. The guy at the front was right. It was a large section. They had the life stories of loads of people from presidents to rock stars. David chuckled as he spied yet another book on Marilyn Monroe and surprise surprise David Beckham seems to have written another book about himself too. Yeah right and he was also the pope.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He then spied a section on a higher shelf. He had to use a little step to reach up and look at the selection. The sign on the shelf said REAL LIFE HEROES. It was a section about guys who served their community every day such as policemen, ambulance drivers and firemen and so on. He picked one up at random and it had a photo of an amazing looking guy wearing a fireman’s jacket smiling out from the cover. The title was SMOKE and MIRRORS my life as a fireman and model. The guy was handsome. He had short crew cut blond hair and quite piercing blues eyes. He had a square jaw and a set of almost perfect teeth. David thought the lips looked very sensuous framed by a light blond goatee beard. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He flipped the first pages open and learned about this guy a little. His name was David to, but even from a young age he preferred Dave or D. He was a lively child who had wanted to be a fireman ever since he was little (Same here thought David the accountant) He was a good learner in junior school and a good kid. He worked hard and got good grades. He was also good at sports, especially football. He sprouted up in high school and played football for the school team. An injury in his senior year meant he’d never be a pro, but to be honest, he never wanted to be.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]As he entered college he was bitten by the iron bug and never really looked back. The book showed pictures of him growing up. His muscled seemed to be almost time lapsing with each page that turned. First he had the great build of an athlete. His body took on muscle naturally he was an easy gainer. David found himself loosening his tie a little, was it a little warm in the store? He continued to read. He then went to College where he studied a degree in crime scene investigation and fire scene forensics. While at college he the bodybuilding became a passion with him. He placed amazing high in his first show and then he started to train like a demon. David paused in his reading and took his jacket off as it seemed a little too tight. He turned the next page to see a picture of Dave holding his first outright win trophy at a local bodybuilding show. He was big. He must’ve had 19 or 20 inch arms here. He looked really hot.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]David closed the book for a second. He’d just though a guy looked hot. What was that about? He was about to put the book on the shelf when he realise he was eye to eye with it. That was odd, wasn’t it higher than that? However, he decided to have another quick look forgetting moments before he’d been admiring the beef in those pages. He carried on flipping through the pages; after he graduated he’d been offered a place at fire training school and had jumped at the chance. His bodybuilding also went into a higher gear as the schools fitness centre was as equipped as any hardcore gym and a few of the guys were into bodybuilding there too. It was here that he’d met Sam, big beautiful Sam. Sam had taken control of his training and they’d become fast friends. Sam pushed David and David blossomed. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He won his pro card shortly after graduating as a professional fireman. He had a picture of how he looked in his blues which had to be specially made to hold his massive pecs. His white shirt in the picture looked like it was filled to bursting from the huge shoulders and arms he had 22 inches now easy. He didn’t wear ties easily as his traps made it very uncomfortable. David put his hand on the picture, almost imagining he could feel the monstrous forearms through the page. He could even see the veins thick and cable like. His hands looked firm and rough. The waist on his uniform was slim allowing the massive inverted v of his back to be emphasised through his shirt. His black trousers did nothing to hide the beyond human thighs. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]The picture on the next page was the one that did it for David. It showed Dave in his posers winning his first Olympia earlier this year. He was a god. He was huge and vascular with skin like tissue paper. His smile was perfect and it showed David pulling a most muscular pose. This guy was so hot thought David, so fucking hot. For a moment he thought he heard a crowd cheering and for a second he felt dizzy. He almost felt like he’d just cum He looked at the book in his hand and then turned his thick meaty wrists to look at his watch. He heard the store doorbell go. “Dave? You in there?” Dave looked at the book again; he wasn’t entirely sure why he’d picked a book up on an accountants life. “Yeah Sam, I’m here” he said returning to the front of the store. His huge thighs moving against each other as he walked down the aisle. He adjusted his crotch a little to accommodate his non-regulation hose and went to the front where Sam, his training and life partner was waiting.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]“C’mon big man. You’ve got an interview to go to. Then when you’ve got the job as the youngest fire captain in this town’s history we’ll take you to visit your parents.” They kissed briefly. Dave and Sam left the shop together.[/COLOR]

Well, well, well!

It certainly took me by surprise to read my (screen)name - I never expect that. And "almighty?" Shucks. Thank you.

I really enjoyed it! You have a knack for this. My only suggestion - and it certainly isn't a criticism - is that you add more detail, flesh everything out and make the whole thing much longer. I'd like to read more about these Davids, and more about the bookstore in general.

Good job!

Hi aardvark

:-) I love your stuff...
Looking at my story I agree I need to spend more time on them.

I'd like to flesh this one out a bit more. I will do more about the store. I'm a big fan of books and bookstores and this world is right up my alley.

I'll start working on fleshing things out and may republish in the showcase section. At the moment I'm getting lots of ideas and my fingers are itching to write. I've never tried this sort of thing until my recent posts and I think I could get to like it.

all the best

Wow, a producer credit! Thanks! And the story was short and sweet. Definitely listen to Aardvark's advice too. Following his example will take you places.

[cutlerfan]

Great story with many possible chapters! I would suggest breaking up the story into smaller paragraphs. I really loved the story.

[ljobenza]

Indeed this is a very good story and really would be better if there was more detail. I'll be looking forward for any future chapters. Good luck!

Tattcub,

I don't think there's EVER enough detail for this crew (myself included ) but this read well and left me wanting more.

I guess some questions that come to my mind (and EVERYONE picks up different things when reading) are:

What's DAVE wearing when he leaves the store?

Does he pick up anything about the guy behind the counter other than he's young?

Does the guy behind the counter know what he's sending David to or is he genuinely just being helpful?

What's the guy behind the counter's reaction when DAVE comes out of the stacks? A knowing smile? Shock and Awe? A tent in those slacks?

What happens to "David, the Life of an Accountant"? I sure would hate for some bull to pick THAT up by accident!

Definitely hope to see more!

Cool Story... well written...

The transpositions of David, the accountant, into the book when Dave the fireman bodybuilder takes possession of the body is a very nice touch. It might not belong here but it would be interesting to know who pages through that book next and if he become a mousy account when he puts the book back on the shelf... for someone that might be as welcome as becoming Dave was for David.

[tattcub]

In my "book" all things are possible guys. I like the idea of the store granting new or improved lives to those that deserve them and maybe granting what's deserved to those who aren't so nice.

I'm trying to get a writing style of my own here and these fledgling stories and your comments are helping very much.

I guess my next efforts need more detail. They will have I promise. Some of my stuff can have a lot of dark as well as light. Be prepared for that to boyz.

All the best

[Lucas88]

There would be no light without dark .

Looking forward to it!
