Chapter #2A BIG Week Ahead by: Mr.Z   The alarm on your cellphone goes off and you quickly hit the snooze button for five more minutes. You drift off to the dream you were having about parachuting over the town and landing on the doorsteps to Sally's house in a tuxedo. You were about to knock but the alarm woke you up again. You sit up and turned it off, not wanting to be late for school. As you stretched out your arms, you remember that you don't have school today. In fact, you don't have school for the whole week thanks to Spring Break. You hop out of the bed with glee and vigor about your big week starting now. You walk over to the bathroom and brush your teeth.
While brushing your teeth you notice that something looks off about the room. Everything seems bigger. The sink is a little higher and wider, the tub is now big enough to look like a mini Jacuzzi and the toilet seat is doubled in size and looks reinforced to hold an elephant. You spit out your tooth paste in the sink and before you walk out you feel the ground shake as something outside walks past the bathroom. "Steven are you in there sweety?" It's your mom's soft sounding voice. "When you're done in there, come down to the kitchen. Breakfast is ready." You then feel the ground shake as the steps walk away. Something very odd is going on here. You step out and walk down the hallway. Looking at the collection of family portraits on the wall you notice that they're a lot different than the last time you saw them. Everyone in the photos except for yourself look gigantically fat. It starts off normal but each year it looks like your family members get bigger and taller. This last photo shows everyone just struggling to fit into the frame while you are crushed between the bellies of your two younger sisters. Everyone is so tall in these photos, even the twins look to be as tall as you and much wider too. It's like someone made a series of ridiculously fat caricatures of your family but these look too real to be drawings. Someone has to be playing some type of prank on you but this seems to have too much work in it.
You head down to the kitchen where everyone is at the dinning room table. Each room looks bigger than it should be. It makes you feel as if you've shrunk a couple of inches. You look at the table and are shocked at the picture you're watching. It's your whole family gorging on a smorgasbord of food. They all look like they're wearing fat suits, if it wasn't for their faces you wouldn't be able to recognize them. From the face up they look like your family but by the double chin down they look like a herd of hippos wearing human clothes which seem a bit too snug for their fat frames. "Come on Steven, this foods not gonna last for much longer." Your sister Liz says as she waves her arm at you. The rolls on her arm jiggle as she waves it.
You walk over and sit next to the twins, your brother Jake and your sister June. They are the closest in size to you, so your best bet is to sit with them. However they still make you look small as they're now about five inches taller than you. The other day they only came up to your stomach, and now they make you look like the youngest. Little June is now so obese that she has d-cup boobs behind her unicorn shirt, and the same goes for Jake's sesame street shirt which is worst since he's a boy. It's nothing compared to your parents who look too big to be human and more like giants with fat rolls all along their bodies. Your Dad's polo shirt explodes around the color to let his fat neck breath and your Mom's button up can't reach around her titanic tits. You look over at Liz who's shirt is too small to cover her girthy gut. It's so big that you could probably fit your head in her belly button. You watch on as they all devour the food in front of them, which includes mashed potatoes, pizza, a whole ham, chicken, etc, you start eating too, it's better to deal with this madness on a full stomach than an empty one. As you eat pizza your mind reels back to yesterday and your encounter with that Old Lady and you realize that she was a witch. Your concentration is broken as your Mom picks up a two liter of Coke and chugs it down in seconds followed by the loudest belch you've ever heard.
*BBBUUURRRRRPPPPP*
"Excuse me." She says politely. "Steven can you do me a favor today?"
"What is it...?" You hesitantly ask, still getting use to the idea that this is your mom.
