Chapter #3Lizzie the Pettite by: Unknown Lizzie was small, even for girls. She had blue eyes and brunette, super curly hair. Even when she had hit puberty, there were minimal changes. She remained small, so small. Even now, finally cresting five feet at 19 years old, she was dangerously underweight at 75 pounds. Her doctors told her she needed to put on weight, her mother wanted her to put on weight, even she wanted to put on weight, but nothing seemed to work. She always stayed her same gaunt self.
Until one day, something new appeared. A new restaurant opened in town. Lizzie had made a habit of eating fast food in a attempt to put on weight, but until now it hadn't worked. This restaurant,called "Swell Ego", boasted a large menu, including foreign favorites like Euros, Gyros, Lo Mein, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Borscht, Schnitzel, Curry, all sorts of bread, all with a calorie laden twist on them. Lizzie's eating habits allowed her to eat an impressive amount, so when she tabulated how many calories she was able to eat in a single sitting there, even she was amazed with herself.
"6,000 calories in one meal?" her mom said as she looked at her notes.
"Yup. Six Thousand. I counted it three times to be sure." Lizzie replied, as her mom handed the notes back to her. Lizzie's hands then moved down and rubbed her round stomach, still full from dinner at Swell Ego. The food sat heavy in her, making her feel fatter already.
"Maybe this'll actually help you put on some weight!" her mom said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I hope so..." Liz said as she got up, holding her stomach almost like a pregnant lady. "I'm going to go to bed, that meal has me pooped."
"Good, get some rest, that should help some weight pile on." her mom replied as Liz waddled her way to her room. She entered and stripped down and then put her pj's on. Her stomach peeking out under the shirt. She crawled into her bed, hands on her stomach and drifted to sleep.
*Lizzie slept roughly through the night, her body churning the food through her system.
Lizzie awoke, groggy. She dragged herself out of bed and walked to her bathroom. She entered and used the toilet, a refreshing feeling washing over her as she finished. She stripped off her pj's, noticing her stomach wasn't swollen anymore and turned on her shower. She waited for the water to heat up and noticed her scale.
"Noting to lose. Let's see what Swell Ego did to me..." she stepped onto the scale and saw that she now weighed... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
