Hey Guys,

I'm an ex-bodybuilder and I write some fiction.

Here's a story previously published in Thuglit, a hardcore crime mag.

Let me know if you dig it.

Cheers.



Jacked
By Glenn Gray​



As soon as Marco emptied the duffle bag onto his old mattress he knew he was gonna have to do a blast.

The Russians were really coming through for him, sticking to their word, getting him all the gear he wanted, and at a good price too. He was gonna make some serious coin off this stuff.

The bed was littered with hundreds of bullet-sized glass vials of Deca, Primobolan, Winstrol-V, Depo-test, Dianabol, Equipoise and even some growth hormone. Stanko and his boys had also thrown in a case of D-bol tabs and some designer stuff, as a kind of bonus.

Marco stood in his posing trunks, eyeing the mountain of juice, rubbing a mixture of baby oil and skin lotion onto his shaved, bloated pecs. He smoothed the goop over his coconut-like delt, pushing some onto his twenty inch arm, flexing his elbow which forced the bicep to peak into what looked like a chiseled triple-scoop ice-cream cone.

He hit a double biceps pose, arms flexed overhead, staring into the massive mirror he had secured to the wall above his bed. He’d stolen it from a cheap motel on Long Island, sliding it into Ronny’s van one night, making sure they didn’t crack the friggin’ thing on the way back to Brooklyn. He admired the slab of muscle in the mirror and he couldn’t get over how awesome his legs looked in that particular pose; like goddamn sides of beef, he thought, the light glistening off bronzed skin.

He hit a most-muscular pose - ‘the crab’ - forcing the veins to surge with blood, distend under pressure, and snake across his upper chest, traps and neck. His face swelled and turned red, puffing out his eyes. He let it go, muscles starting to cramp, and savored the tangy smell of baby oil as it mixed with sweat.

He gathered the necessary paraphernalia into a neat circle at the edge of the bed:
A 3cc disposable syringe with a 22 gauge, one and a half-inch needle.
A 2cc ampule of Primobolan.
A plastic container of rubbing alcohol and some tissues.

Marco slid a wooden desk chair in front of the bed, popped the glass top to the vial and sucked out the 2 cc’s of juice into the syringe. He held the dart overhead to the light and flicked the casing, getting the air bubbles to rise, then flushed them out.

Marco stood and stepped out of the skimpy trunks, kicking them off so they ended up hanging off the dusty lampshade. He swiped his ass with alcohol and then with a swift backhanded motion, buried the harpoon in his glute. He pushed the plunger, feeling the tight ball of oily stuff deep in his muscle, his head getting light.

A drop of blood followed the needle out. He dabbed at it with a ball of tissue and tossed everything onto the bed.

Marco always got a head rush after a blast. He started posing again, this time with greater and greater intensity, each shot ending in a grunt, holding it, veins on the verge of exploding, blood flooding his dense muscle. Endorphins started to kick in, euphoria on the horizon.

Swinging into a back lat spread, he heard the banging.

He shuffled to the closed door, breathing deeply, a good pump going.

Marco listened for a second, said, “Heck is it?”

“Marco Serrano?”

“Who wants a know.”

“DEA…. Open up.”

Marco’s head started to spin.

Friggin DEA.

The Russians.

A set up?

With this much crap he would go away for a long time. Not to mention the weed in the dresser.

Looking around. “Hold on.”

“Open it.” The voice louder, serious. “Now!

His head spinning wildly, Marco thought he could feel blood vessels absorbing the juice, sucking it up hungrily, distributing it to the far reaches of his body, heart pumping and pumping, tiny cells gobbling up the stuff. His girth felt like freakin armor. He wondered if bullets would bounce off. Muscle was thick as hell, right? Maybe he should bolt, make a run for it. That meant leaving the juice behind, wasting it.

No way.

Marco found the 9 mm Beretta with a 15 round magazine in the top drawer of the desk and undid the safety catch.

He kissed the barrel.

The banging was louder now, people yelling, his head screaming, hot blood coursing through hammering arteries and distended veins. No way was he going back to the joint.

Now the bullhorn from a distance, a siren, some car doors slamming.

A helicopter?

Marco got in front of the mirror, hit another double biceps pose, narrowed eyes focusing on the Adonis-like body in the glass - tanned, shaved, perfectly symmetric. Goddamned lines everywhere, shredded. Peaking out perfectly with the diet. Paper-thin skin. friggin abs like concrete - obliques good enough for a medical textbook. A goddamned freak of nature, he thought and howled.

Marco’s greasy hand slid around the doorknob several times before he was able to get purchase. He flung the door open to glaring light and an army of gun wielding cops.

He heard nothing.

Marco stood rigid, naked and oiled, feeling like Mr. Olympia on stage at the pose down, palming metal at his side. The hot light felt good, soothing. He flexed his lats, giving the crowd a good show, trying to please the judges. Now he thought he heard applause. The crowd started to roar his name. Chanting now. He took a deep breath and swung the pistol round front, aiming into the crowd of blue, all the while keeping his abs tight and lats wide, curling his toes to harden the calves, figuring it best and most advantageous to get in the first shot.

Great story OP. Very descriptive.


Hey Chocolatemilk and fmfws185, thanks a lot.

I do have other stories. I put together a free ebook, but I don't think I can post the link here, probably get banned. So I'll post another story below for now.

Let me know what you think....






Balls To The Wall
by Glenn Gray​



“The hell is in this stuff?”

“Yo,” Tank Top Tony said. They were in Tony’s Bensonhurst apartment, third floor brownstone. “Like I told ya. The best stuff around.”

Joey threw his arm up, flexing the twenty-one inch bicep, admiring it like it was some object, separate from his own body. “Cause I ain’t never made gains like this. Not even with growth.”

“Hell yeah, bro,” Tony said. “The Russians makin this stuff in their own lab. From scratch.”

“Cool,” Joey laughed, then saying, only half-kidding. “Make sure you throw an extra box in there.”

“No friggin way,” Tony said, counting the last of twenty boxes of myovar. Each box was slightly smaller than a pack of cigarettes and held three glass vials, each vial containing two cc’s of myovar. “These guys’re all over me.”

“Man I’d kill for the recipe. Specially with all the shows coming up,” Joey said, throwing up both arms now, checking himself out in the full-length mirror on Tony’s closet door. “crap’s expensive, bro.”

Tony shrugged. “The frig you want me to do? Get yourself a gay-ass sponsor.”

“Yeah right, man.” Joey said. “I got a better idea.”

“Can’t wait,” Tony said, lifting the cardboard box loaded with myovar off his bed, putting it on the floor against the radiator by the window.

“Dude, you know these guys. Where the lab is. Hook me up. You don’t have to do a thing.”

“Hell no,” Tony said, lifting a blender full of frothing white liquid to his mouth, taking a swig. “They find out, I’m a dead man.”

“Tell me where it is. How to get in. I do it myself. No one else involved to screw it up. I get caught it’s only me -- Gimme a sip a that crap.”

Joey took a long swallow from the glass pitcher, taking his time.

“I don’t know man. Don’t sound too good.”

“Come on.” Joey put the pitcher on the wood dresser top, smoothed back his hair. “I make it look like a big job. Looking for money, the whole thing. They’ll think it was a bigger job than it is. Just get me in.”

Tony picked up a box of myovar from the pile on the bed, twirled it around his fingers.

“I gotta win that show. Tony baby, whattaya say?”

“Why should I risk it?”

“One paisan to another.”

Tony shook his head. “You’re Sicilian. My family’s from up North.”

“So what?”

Tony took a deep breath. Started stuffing the boxes of myovar into Joey’s gym bag, staring.

Joey leaned on the dresser, watching Tony.

The D train to Coney Island screeched along the elevated subway tracks three blocks away. They waited for it to pass.

“Queens,” Tony said finally. “And I don’t know you. We never talk again.”

“Serious?” Joey said, ****e-eating grin on his mug. “Friggin A.”

“I’ll give you the security code, the time to go. Directions. It’s over by the Queensbourough Bridge.”

Joey did a lat spread then slapped Tony on the back. “The heck is your name again?”


****


Joey cruised the BQE north from Bensonhurst in his white 78 Corvette, driving calmly, staying at about the speed limit, which was unusual for him. The flickering Manhattan skyline to his left always got him revved up. It was 2 am. He was in game mode -- just like a contest.

He checked the directions scribbled on a piece of paper on the seat next to him, thinking the whole score should be quick and easy. After all, he knew the code and where the stuff was stored. He knew that Saturdays were the one night when operations shut down early at the lab, letting people enjoy themselves for a change. The lab should’ve been empty for hours by now.

He swung onto the LIE and headed west a short distance, toward Manhattan, getting off at Van Dam Street in Sunnyside, Queens. He crawled along 31st Street, crossing over 48th Avenue, navigating his way through the empty backstreets, mostly factories and storage places, finally finding the street.

He drove the length of the block first, wanting to drive by once for a look, nothing too obvious. He spotted the address, a freestanding building next to a carpet warehouse.

Joey read the sign out front, Cytoheme Inc.. Trying to come off as a real lab. Supposed to be a place for standard blood work, pathology and routine lab tests. But Joey knew better and grinned as he rolled by.

He parked the car two blocks away and walked, an empty gym bag over his shoulder.

He punched in the security code at the back door, thinking that this was so freakin easy, candy from a baby. He’d get himself stacks of myovar. He’d be good for a year, maybe two. Hell, the Russians might not even notice any missing if there was as much in the joint as Tony said.

The door sprung open right on cue. He glanced around before he stepped in, gently closed the door behind him. He was in a small anteroom, a place to hang coats, drop stuff off, he guessed. There was another door in front of him, just like Tony said.

He opened it, peeked in. It looked like the business end of the operation, but smelled like a doctor’s office. It was dark but he could tell there were desks, computers, cabinets and some bookshelves. Just like Tony said. He stepped in and closed the door, put the bag on a table next to him.

And that’s when the lights blinded him.

It took a second for his vision to clear and wouldn’t you know it. There was Tony standing in the center of the room, smirking, three other guys with him. Two of the guys had black shiny pistols in their hands.

Joey took a breath, felt some adrenaline kick in. Figured, hell. All I did was come in. I didn’t take nothing yet. I’ll tell em Tony was just horsin around. A gag.

“Tony,” Joey said. “What the heck, bro?”

“Hey, Joey.”

“Tell em we were just kiddin around, bro. You dared me to come, right? I said no way. I wasn’t gonna steal nothing. Tell em, man.”

“Joey Joey Joey,” Tony said, shaking his head. “You’re a dumb goon. Always were.”

“The heck you talking about? Tell these guys who I am.”

The serious looking guy in the suit stepped forward, cigarette dangling from his lips. He said, “No. Let me tell you who I am.” The cigarette fell from his mouth, mashed it on the floor. “Stanko Vasilev. This is my lab you apparently stumbled into. I am the owner and founder of this great company. I make myovar. I understand you like my myovar, yes?”

“Yeah,” Joey said, relaxing a bit. This wasn’t sounding too bad. Yet. “The stuff is great Mr. what? Vatsolef? Yeah the stuff is the bomb and I love it. That’s why I came here. I’m freakin crazy about it. It’s the best stuff ever. I was just out of my mind. Crazy. Don’t know what got into me. I apologize, sir.”

“I see,” Stanko said. “Then you meant no harm? You wanted a great steroid? You would go to great lengths to get it, no?”

“That’s right. Yup. I wasn’t in my right mind. Tell em, Tony. I forced Tony to get me in. My friggin fault.”

Stanko walked around Joey. In a circle, looking him up and down. “What are you, six-foot, 240?”

“Close. Five-ten, 245.”

Stanko rubbed his chin.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Vatsolef,” Joey said. “I’ll just buy the stuff like I’m supposed to. Maybe I gotta get a sponsor, huh? Right, Tony?”

Stanko stopped in front of Joey, about two feet away now. The two guys with pistols walked around the sides, flanking Joey. The guys reeked of cologne.

“I have a deal for you Joey,” Stanko said. “Because you like myovar so much. The reason it is so good is because extensive research went into designing it. It’s not like other anabolic agents. It’s very unique. We have done our homework. And the research never ends as we fine tune this wonder drug. It is not exactly perfect -- yet. But close.”

“Yeah, I’ll take it,” Joey said. “I been on your stuff a couple months now anyway. I’ll let you monitor me. Just like a lot of docs do. That’s cool. I even got a big show coming up, Mr. Tri-State. Gonna need a lot a juice.”

“Perfect,” Stanko said. “Only the monitoring is a little more involved than blood work. My scientists need more. They’d like tissue samples of subjects in various stages of usage. We need to look at certain bodily responses, histologic changes, the gamut of endocrine interactions.”


“The heck does that mean? Tony? What do you mean, sir?”

“For starts,” Stanko said. “My head investigator indicated he needs a sufficient sample of seminiferous tubules, and as a bonus he’d like some epididymal tissue.”

“Freakin what? Semitubes?”

“Joey,” Stanko said. “He’d like a testicle.”

Joey started to back up. The guys with the pistols got up close, had the metal next to his head now.

“Come on, guys,” Joey said. “I’ll give some blood, that kind of crap. I’ll work with ya. That’s all you’ll need, right?”

“Relax, Joey,” Stanko said. “We’re not complete barbarians. We are going to do this the right way. The way a good controlled experiment should be done. We have an operating room downstairs. We have a complete staff -- nurse, anesthesiologist, urologist. And guess what? We’ll even give you a prosthesis.”

“A what?”

“A fake testicle. Only it’ll be better than that. It will be complete with tracking device. So we can be sure you don’t miss any of your follow-up appointments.”

“No freakin way!” Joey started to squirm, pumping his fists, veins coming out on his neck.

“Yes, Joey. And this is just the beginning. I don’t know what my scientists may need next. They were saying something about pituitary tissue. But don’t worry; we have a good neurosurgeon on staff too.”

“Get me the hell outta here! Tony! What the heck?”

“And you won’t think about seeing another doctor. I will have the capability to detonate the testicle as well. Remotely. At my leisure.”

Joey said, “Screw that!” and started to swing at Stanko. One pop with the butt end of a pistol sent Joey to his knees, head spinning. The other guy clocked him once more for good measure, sending Joey, unconscious, to his stomach.

Stanko stepped back, looking down at Joey, fishing in his pocket.

“Tony,” Stanko said, lifting a cigarette to his mouth, lighting it. “Tell them we’re ready downstairs.”

Damn, those are two entertaining stories. I love how Joey and Tony were drinking the shake from a blender. Drastic measures for drugs, or in this case anabolics.

Loved it. Good stuff.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, Anthony. Appreciate it.
 
Very good story bro AGAIN congrats.
That prosthetic testicle made me laugh. Very good man
I would hate to be a bother but got anymore stories.

You kiddin me? Asking for more stories? Bro, those words are like crack to a writer. We dream of hearing those words. Thanks.

I've just come from a site that has an ebook I've posted, containing the above 2 stories and eight others. I just changed the pricing to "FREE." Anabolic Minds has been really cool and you guys have been awesome.

I can't post a link but if you just google "MUSCLE NOIR Glenn Gray," you'll get it. (I don't think that's against the rules, is it?)

Some of the stories are longer so it's a hassle to post them each time because I have to reformat and alter the profanity.

Any way, it doesn't even matter if you have a KIndle or other device because you can also just download as a PDF or HTML.

Cheers, and thanks again....

Awesome, I'll be checking your stories.
 
Once again I was impressed. I must admit, you have a love for the romantic side of the anabolics field and for dramatic endings :D

Definitely got some nice flare, second one gave me a giggle, and made me go "damn that sucks, poor bastard"
 
Those are some good and interesting stories OP. Wouldn't mind seeing what else you have in store.

Hey Thanks, h121h.

I've been away a while.

Had a story recently published online, in a mag called, Beat To A Pulp.

It's not muscle related but people seem to like it. It's a little quirky and different but it was good fun to write.

It can be found at:

beattoapulp.com and it's called "The Little Boy Inside."

If you dig it, let me know, either here or leave a comment right on the site.

Thanks.
