The Alpha Coach Who Learned a Lesson
Arthur made a living online as the typical “alpha male” coach. His videos consisted of questionable advice about how men should treat women badly to get their attention, attracting thousands of followers who eagerly bought his seduction courses. One night, just minutes before starting one of his biggest livestreams, Arthur felt exhausted and decided to crack open an imported, unlabeled energy drink he had bought from a suspicious health-food store. He downed the can and started the broadcast. Ten minutes later, while ranting about “dominant posture,” the mysterious chemical began producing a bizarre effect. First, his voice cracked and suddenly became much higher. Panicking, Arthur tried to clear his throat, only to feel a sharp pop run down his spine. His clothes began tightening around him.
