A Cataclysmic Catalyst!

Plagued with allergies from birth, Edwin Marx tiptoed through life adhering to a long list of restrictions. The only food suitable for consumption was bread and a few green vegetables.

Relying on supplements and specially formulated impossible burgers, his taste buds would never know the addictive pleasures of flavor...

It was in the first year of college that things began to get quite interesting for our hero...

*

Confronted with a keg of beer, (a staple for the cheering brood of adrenaline junkies) peer pressure was about to send him on a life-changing high…

"No way man! I've never drank before. I have no idea what it’ll do!"

"C'mon, wuss! You said you can eat bread. What do you think beer is? It's liquid bread! Basically the same ingredients!"

Somehow, the logic worked. He took the twenty-ounce mug to his head, guzzled it all and joined in on the raucous celebration sealing his camaraderie...

Little did anyone know, the alcohol began reacting strangely with his endocrine system, carving out muscles and causing the overproduction of intoxicating pheromones. Visible to the naked eye, these large specks of vaporous, piss-yellow chemicals stretched out a hundred feet. It's as if they were caught in his gravity and he was the nucleus of a holographic dome.

At first, students inhaled the specks by accident until they realized it gave them the appreciated effects of drinking. They could catch a buzz by inhaling his Pheromones! The more Edwin drank, the more he produced. This discovery rocked campuses everywhere! Edwin was soon sought after to attend every frat party possible, saving broke students tons of cash.

Although the national G.P.A suffered, Edwin went on to fully develop his superpower, assisting anyone's need to be irresponsible. Thus, The Inebriator, was born!

    Oh man I laughed so much Lamar. This is my kind of hero πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I also got a huge laugh from poor Edwin not knowing the pleasures of flavor. Made me think of the stereotypical white dude cooking chicken without seasoning πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    Liquid beer... I might need to steal that next time my husband asks what I'm doing and I'm pouring a beer. "Oh nothing, just making a sandwich!!" 🀣 Honestly though, this was great! Love the creativity behind a very inebriating super power! 🀣
