    Tom, an average-sized man, had always dreamed of becoming a bodybuilder. He joined a gym, determined to transform his physique.

    Tom's coach, Dan, was a renowned bodybuilding trainer. He saw potential in Tom and decided to take him under his wing.

    One late evening, after their intense workout, Dan introduced Tom to an unconventional technique - hypnosis for muscle growth.

    Tom, desperate for results, agreed to it. Dan began the process, his voice hypnotic and commanding. Tom slipped into a trance.

    The next day, Tom was a changed man. He was lifting heavier weights effortlessly. He flexed his muscles at Dan's command.

    Tom's body started to grow at an unnatural pace. His obedience to Dan was unwavering. He was becoming a possessed bodybuilder.

    Tom's friends began to worry about his strange behavior. They confronted Dan, demanding an explanation for Tom's sudden transformation.

    Dan brushed off their concerns, claiming it was the result of hard work and dedication. But they didn't buy it.

    One night, Tom's friends secretly observed Dan hypnotizing Tom. They were horrified at the sight of their friend under Dan's control.
