A delicious odor awakes and beckons you. As you try to lift yourself off you realize that you are now weighed down with extra fat than when you had fallen asleep. You roll yourself to the side of the bed and turn yourself into a sitting position. Heaving incredibly hard you soon pushed yourself up onto your feet and walk to the bathroom. Each step you took down the hallway caused the floor boards to creek and moan. You entered the bathroom and found that alterations had somehow been made without your knowledge. The toilet was now reinforced and had bars on either side to make it easier to access. Along with the toilet, there was also a new heavyweight scale. You, being curious about your weight step on it. You had trouble finding where the numbers would show up and finally found a small digital meter embedded on the sink. It read 660 pounds, 150 pounds heavier than yesterday. After a shower you return to your room to get dressed and find that your wardrobe selection has grown with you. Every one of your shirts looks like it could be used as a beach umbrella. “Damn.” you curse under your breath as you put on the largest shirt, which still ends up feeling tight as spandex and doesn’t even cover your belly button. You walk down the hall find an inactive escalator where the stairs once were. You step on the top step and press a large lightly lit down arrow and the steps begin to move downward. It stops when your step reaches the bottom and you walk off towards the kitchen.

Your mother, whom is looking larger than previously, greats you “Good morning honey!” and retreats back to the stove, where she is cooking up a storm. Looking around you see cakes on almost every surface. The kitchen table is stacked with various baked goods. You take a seat between your two siblings who are already rapidly consuming their fill. The flimsy wooden chair creeks under you weight and you think how the chairs should be stronger to prevent them from breaking under your family’s increasing weight. On the left your brother is filling himself with various flavors of muffins. He was already the largest member of you family, and after last night’s mysterious gain he was even bigger. On your right your sister was tearing into a cake large enough to feed a family of twelve. She was now close to outweighing you. You weren’t even hungry, but all you could think of was eating. You start to satisfy your want with a tray of cherry danishes. One by one they were no match for your fearsome belly.
Over across the room the tv is broadcasting the news. Rick Stevens, the now 500 pound newscaster, was reporting on a new study on starving village in Africa. “The situation is getting worse and Nolah, mother of three, doesn’t know the next time she will be able to give her children a full meal.” Rick states dramatically. A clip is shown of Nolah, revealing a 400 pound African woman, practically inhaling cupcakes. Her young children are playing on the dirt floor and are round as balls. You think that it is good that now there is no literal starvation in the world.

After filling yourself with more food you stand up from you chair but something is different. You do a double take on the chair and see that the frame is now reinforced with solid steel. “This is weird!” you say, but your family is too involved with either eating or cooking to notice. You are about to leave the room and your mother, who had been licking off cake batter from a spoon, stops you. “Wait,” she says as she waddles over with a large applering cake and hands it to you “take this for a snack on the drive to school.” She then waddles back into the kitchen and starts to devour one of her delicious creations. You exit the house and…
