Chapter #5
Too heavy to reach the phone!!
by: Unknown
If your friend's already coming to get you there's no use calling her house. You have to find her cell phone number if you have any chance of stopping her.
"UMMMHHMMN!!!"
You bite your lip and whimper when you try to move. It's like you've got a bowling ball in your stomach. The moment you try to get up off the floor your knees give and the weight of it makes you plop right down. You feel spasms of shuddering pain as your belly shakes and sloughs back onto your lap. "Oouuughhh..." You put your hand on the surface and feel the aching warmth. You try again to get up, pushing up off your arms behind you, but your feet just skitter again and again over the floor and then kick out before you fall again.
"UMMPHH!!"
Your belly bounces again and you wince from the pounding pain. Your eyes are getting teary, the pain is that awful. This is bad. You look over at your toes just before the empty box of leftover chinese you set there hits the bottom of your foot and flops over. Your toes wiggle with the feel of the soggy carton on your bare foot. All around you are the remnants of food now crammed all at once inside you; ice cream buckets, crumbs and plates, pudding cups and smears of icing on the floor, when you wolfed down that chocolate cakes and stepped on a part of it by accident...The floor and table are a total, sticky mess. Feeling ready to cry, you look down at your swollen tummy, a big, cushy sphere plopped out on your lap and slowly sinking off your legs like molasses. Your skin is pulled so far that folds are deepening around your middle and reaching out toward your back, stretching to accommodate the huge weight. There's a tiny sheen on the top of your stomach.
Gotta get up. Gotta find Gloria's number. It's on your cell phone, but you left it upstairs. Maybe it's in your message pad...ooumph, it's all the way on the phone table...*grunt* C'mon...
Moving slow, you try to roll over onto your knees. They keep slide out under the weight of the pounds sloshing inside you, squeaking on the linoleum.
You feel the stuffed contents of your gut pouring over and brace for the worst. Sure enough, your basketball-sized tummy rolls over and slumps upside below up, swaying over the floor. The clammy, sickening feeling spills over you and makes you shiver. You want to fall on your back and just let it wobble to a stop on top of you. You could stare at the ceiling and suffer through the stabbing pain until it finally stops aching. The saturated grease oozing through your veins makes your legs heavy...it's so hard to move. You can feel it weighing down on your shoulders. "Umph..." You're not supposed to be moving...
By the time you crawl to the other room, you've sunk so low that every time you lurch a knee forward your distended belly slides across the floor. Over the repetitious sound of skin rubbing on wood you can barely make out the soft bubbling on indigestion welling inside you. You make it to the phone and ram your shoulder into the wobbly leg to knock the message book down. Fingering the pages frantically, you finally find Gloria's number on the back of some notes. Alright, now to--
Wait! You can't call her without an excuse! What are you gonna say? She told you she disapproved of your quest of obesity. She'll be really mad if she catches you with all this eaten food and a belly that look ready to explode. You need something clever to say...!
