Following a recent fad among young men, a guy‘s best friend has now six beautiful arms and hands, along with all of his male friends who are visiting. They drunkenly discuss the meaning of touching a man using four hands versus the meaning of touching a man using six hands.
Dylan Thompson
humorous, and introspective. Dylan struggles with the implications of his friends' new bodies and the societal changes that come with it. Despite his reservations, he participates in the new social norms, including touching rituals that have become a part of their culture. He often finds himself lost in thought, questioning the meaning of these changes and their impact on relationships.
Jason Reed
playful, and slightly reckless. Jason eagerly explores the possibilities of his new body, often joking about its benefits in social situations. His antics provide comic relief and challenge Dylan's perceptions about masculinity and intimacy. Despite his newfound abilities, Jason remains loyal to Dylan and their friendship.
Mark Wilson
confident, and somewhat insensitive. Mark often takes the lead in exploring the limits of their new bodies and encourages others to do so as well. His behavior sometimes pushes boundaries, making others uncomfortable but also inspiring them to experiment with their new capabilities.
I was surprised when Jason, my best friend, showed up at my door with six beautiful arms and hands.
He wasn’t the only one.
All of my male friends who showed up that night had four extra arms.
This was not a dream.
Recently, all the young men around me had grown new limbs.
It was the latest fad among young men and it was catching on like wildfire.
No one knew how or why this was happening.
It started about six months ago.
It was exciting but strange.
No one knew what touching a man with four hands meant versus touching a man with six hands.
We were at a party discussing this when Jason’s best friend Mark walked in with six arms and hands.
He grinned at Jason and held out all six of his hands for Jason to take.
The two men touched all six of Mark’s hands with their own as they always did when they greeted each other.
Then they hugged and separated.
"Did you notice anything different about our greeting?"
Mark asked Jason.
Jason thought, "No, it felt the same as it always did."
Mark stepped closer to Jason, his six hands hovering in the air between them.
He reached out with four of his hands and touched Jason’s shoulders.
Jason felt a jolt of electricity run through him.
Mark held his gaze with his own as he did this.
The room grew quiet as all the party-goers watched.
"I think touching a man with four hands means casual friendship," Mark said.
Then he reached out with all six of his hands and held Jason’s arms and shoulders.
Jason felt a deeper connection to Mark than he had before.
Mark let go and turned to me.
"You see, with six hands, it's more than just friendship," Mark explained, his eyes locking onto mine.
"It's like we're sharing something deeper, something almost... transformative."
I leaned forward on the couch, studying Mark’s hands as he held them up for inspection.
Each palm had unique calluses and lines.
His original two showed years of guitar playing, while the newer ones were smooth and pristine.
Jason rolled up his sleeves to show how the extra arms merged seamlessly at his shoulders.
"Check this out," Jason said, wiggling all twelve fingers on his right side in sequence.
Mark reached over with three hands to feel the muscle definition where Jason’s new limbs connected with his body.
The way they moved now, there was no hesitation or awkwardness in their motions.
