It didn't take long for Lisa to get to sleep. However that night she had a very strange dream. She was on a park bench next to a woman, apart from the two of them the park was deserted even though it's a perfect day. Suddenly the woman next to you speaks.
"Funny how you find out that the town is cursed and yet you don't even attempt to resolve your thoughts about larger people." The woman say's.
"Huh?" Lisa say's, puzzled.
The woman smiles.
"I'm sure you can work it out if you use that journalistic brain you cherish so much."
"I'm sorry...I don't understand what you are getting at."
"Maybe if I tell you that I'm a witch...very capable of cursing a whole town. Does that trigger anything?" Her smile getting even wider.
"What? I'm sorry but freaking me out a little, I'm going to go." Lisa say's attempting to get up. Strangely it is as if she is glued to the bench.
"I'm sorry dear but like I said, I'm a witch and a powerful one at that. Not allowing you to get up is child's play. Now if I were you I would listen."
"I'm dreaming, I remember going to sleep! I can make myself wake up!" Lisa protests.
"Yes your right about the dreaming part but the waking up is a different story. That was childs play as well. Now listen up."
Lisa just nods, eyes wide open in shock.
"Ever since you were younger you have thought bad of anybody with a little bit more weight then you. Now you have come to this town, ready to make a story for a newspaper that will belittle this town and everybody in it. I think it is time you were taught a lesson and a permanent one at that. This might seem like a harsh punishment but I'm sure you will learn that it isn't as bad as it seems. You know the details of the curse, I made sure that cab driver would tell you even if he didn't realise he was being so specific. Your going to be fat my dear, you won't start off as obese as the current residents of the town but it isn't going to be hard to catch up with your new eating habits and your new metabolism. You might even end up bigger, now wouldn't that be ironic? People will think you have always been fat and that the way you gain weight is completely natural. So dear, are you ready?" The witch say's calmly.
"What!? No! Your crazy! This is just a dream, I'm not really stuck to the bench, I can wake up. This isn't really happening!" Lisa protests once again.
"Oh but I'm afraid it is. Kiss goodbye to your nice slim body there. You are not going to see it again! Now I just need you to eat this for me sweety." The woman produces a donut from nowhere. "You might recognise this from earlier. I thought it would be fitting to use something you would call disgusting after all."
Slowly the woman pushes it towards Lisa's mouth. Her mouth opens, ready to eat the donut although Lisa has no control over her actions anymore. Slowly the donut fills her mouth and she chews. Eventually she swallows and at that time Lisa wakes up.
Lisa opened her eyes suddenly.
*Thank god it was just a dream..."Lisa thought to herself.
Slowly Lisa realises her body feels different to before. She can't quite figure out why. Slowly she attempts to sit up.
