NOTE: This story doesn’t, in any way, reflect my personal views, politically or otherwise. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
For as long as I could remember I had an interest in politics. I loved the game – the campaigning, the networking, the cocktail parties and campaign speeches. I was convinced that I would be the first true politician – not one that won based on corruption and financial bribery, but because they wanted to make a difference in the world, and create a voice for my up and coming generation.
But when I lost the first race by a landslide, I became a little disheartened. All the hard work I put in the last two years was all for naught. After the tragic election party, I was approached by a group of older men in suits who said that they liked my style – even if I lacked what the voters were looking for. They said that they would love to sponsor me for the election. They seemed a little too old for my tastes, almost frail and weak looking. Certainly far more conservative for someone with my ideals. But I was desperate, and they promised me that the next race wouldn’t be a waste.
And a waste it wasn’t. My next few months were full of informational meetings on my image – how to act, what to say, and what to wear. They explained that my state was far too conservative and stuck in its ways to go for such a young, budding democrat like myself. The voters needs someone that brooded not only confidence, but also displayed wisdom, and respect. To appease them, I dropped my current wardrobe of youthful suits and brighter ties in favor for darker jackets and beige, black, and grey ties. I cut my long unruly hair into a more defined style, and even fashioned a small well-kept goatee to give myself a more distinguished look. I changed my manner of speaking, opting in for a far more professional and distinguished tone and vocabulary.
The Power-6, as I’ve come to call them, even managed to sway me on some of my political opinions, toning back some of my more drastic views and sometimes getting me to do a complete reversal on some of my suggested policies. They had such good arguments for every point I tried to make in my defense, both of myself and the younger generation I once wanted to represent. They made me meet with former opponents and past republican representatives, and learn from their wisdom. I used to think that I was so current with my knowledge on our countries policies, laws, and current events – but they showed me that I was thinking all wrong. The younger generation didn’t care about the good of the county – they were more concerned about themselves, how they could free-load off the economy, receive wages they didn’t earn, even legalize disgusting drugs like marijuana. It didn’t matter that I had once wanted to realize a lot of the things they were preaching against – I had come to despise the very up-and-comers I originally set out to protect.
The republicans were showing me that I had less in common with people my own age, while simultaneously showing me that I shared so much more with the older generations before me. As a result I spent less time with my old college friends and former supporters, who complained that I acted distant, and less fun than they remember. Truth be told, I simply wasn’t enjoying subjecting myself to their naïve views. Instead I spent my time staying in educating myself about my political stance and practicing speeches that I planned to give for the upcoming race. My life became a cycle – wake up, drink coffee, read the newspaper, get dressed in a smart suit, and go to work. Afterwards I might grab dinner and maybe a few drinks with my fellow gentlemen and mentors, then go home, watch the news, and go to sleep promptly at 9.
It was around the 6-month mark that I noticed I had lost all contact with my old college friends. I had long since deleted my social media websites, allowing my PR team to handle the increasingly complicated technology. My smartphone was placed with a more traditional flip-phone and pager, so that I could get in contact with my schedulers and contacts without being bogged down by all the widgets and gadgets I had no use for. It was around the 6-month time that I also began to notice some changes with my body. It started off small – I saw a slight wrinkles around my eyes and the corner of my mouth, a grey hair here and there. Then came a newfound softness to my figure, the gentle saggy feeling of my skin. As the hair, wrinkles, weight, and sagginess increased, I became a little concerned, and began to voice these concerns to my mentors. They told me to embrace who I was – every man must submit themselves to these changes sometime in their life. To appease them, I traded in frequenting the youthful clubs with their loud beats and sexual hunts – they no longer fit the older, heavier man I was becoming. Instead, my free time was spent golfing or visiting tennis matches, perhaps the occasional cocktail party to socialize and do some networking. However, my ideal Friday night became a quiet night at home with a good glass of scotch and a book.
I had lost all interest in chasing any sexual encounters, instead chasing voters and other prominent republican figures and sponsors who had promised me funding in return for a few favorable laws passed their way. The only time I experienced any sort of sexual behavior was when I watched myself preform one of my speeches in the mirror, or put on one of my power suits. I had become completely self-infatuated, and could only find release by staring at the man I was becoming in the mirror, stroking off my withering 6-inch member with a wrinkled, meaty paw, and occasionally twisting a saggy nipple through my dress shirt. I had come to appreciate my conservative look, and the power and dignity that it provided. Although I once thought of my mentors, the Power-6, as flabby, conservative, and weak, I now saw them as intelligent, distinguished, and willful gentlemen – not completely unlike myself. I even offered them sexual favors in return for the services they provided – which they all politely declined, citing that they had no need for such basic gratuities.
By the morning of my first campaign speech, I woke up and saw a totally unrecognizable man staring back at me in the mirror. Gone was the youthful, flamboyant, sexy 20-something, replaced by an old, grey-haired, conservative politician. My once tone body now supported a sagging chest full of white hair, a thick, round belly, and flabby thighs. I gave myself a stern look in the mirror, and felt my cock – all 4 inches of it, twinge underneath my gut. I ignored it, knowing that I had a schedule to maintain, and that my more-recent efforts to produce any kind of climax had proved unfruitful – it seemed over the last few months that it was if sex had become a decreasingly important part of my life.
In the back of my mind, I knew that I shouldn’t look like this, that a once-thin 25-year old man doesn’t become an old, late-50’s gentleman over the course of a year. But my schedule gave me no time to squander over these thoughts – I had a campaign to run, after all. I straightened my tie in the mirror, fixed my hair, and heaved a deep breath, my gut jiggling underneath my tie and dress shirt. A lot may have happened over the past year, but I knew something for certain – this election, I was going to win.
