Mary waddled to her apartment, lugging the many bags of groceries behind her in a small cart. She opened the door and was shocked by the sight before her. Her friend appeared to have doubled in size! Jess had been laying on the kitchen floor, on top of the crushed remains of a chair that had collapsed beneath her weight. At the sight of Mary and the food, she jumped up, raising to a height of almost ten feet, her head brushing the ceiling. She rushed towards Mary, causing her to back away in fear, and then brushed past Mary and began to tear into the bags of food.
"What took you so long?" said Jess, between the bites of food she greedily devoured. "I'm starving. I don't think I have ever felt this hungry in my life."
"Jess, are you feeling okay?" asked Mary, as she stared at her friend. Her body was so wide that Mary doubted she could fit through the front door. She had to weight almost a ton.
"Yeah, I feel great. Other than being hungry, that is. Why do you ask?" said Jess as she continued to make a pig of herself while eating.
"You just seem a bit ..... bigger, " said Mary.
"Well, I did take twice the dose of the pig vial. But who cares, I feel really good and I look even better. What's the matter? Jealous? " said Jess, as she leaned on her wide hips and posed for Mary.
"No, it's fine. I guess you are right, " said Mary.
"Then bring the rest of the food in here. I am starving, and I know you must be, too. Maybe you'll look as good as me after you eat a little more, " said Jess.
Mary had to admit, she was very hungry. Maybe she would be able to think more clearly with a full stomach. Something seemed wrong here, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Mary continued to bring the rest of the groceries through the door, as Jess devoured them noisily behind her.
