"Help Wanted: Live-In Test Subjects For Newly Developed Gastronomic Implements. 6 Month Study Time. $5000+ Financial Compensation"
Greg Harrow didn't really need to accept the ad. He had enough money, a decent home, and a pretty good life. In fact, he didn't even find the application that appealing anyway. But somehow, he found himself dialing the number for a Dr. Franklin A. Tass, and was setting up his position in the study.
Maybe it was his love of food... He did like food. Lots of food, in fact. He would sometimes eat and eat till he was completely full, and physically could not eat another bite. His 210 lb frame clearly displayed the merits of that lifestyle. Maybe, since this was a gastronomy study, he would be given the opportunity to eat his heart out. Literally.
Two weeks after his joining of the study, he was on a plane to the other side of the country, and was joining Dr. Tass in his lab/home.
"Thank you ever so much for your contributions, Mr. Harrow. Because of you, the future of humanity will be that much better off. In this study, you will be tasting and testing new and improved dietary creations. We at Tass and Hiro Institute of Computation and Creation, we strive to make life better for everyone in the world."
"Okay, interesting, but when do we get to the food?"
Tass let out a jovial laugh. "Oh, my, eager to begin, huh? Well, unfortunately, we will not be beginning with food today. Instead, we will be starting with these!" He opened a little box on a table, and pulled out a bottle of tiny pellets. "These, Greg, are dietary supplements, for those who have a hard time getting food. Each tiny pellets contains 2 thousand calories, which was created using a new scientific process that converts energy from a star into any type of solid matter you can imagine."
Greg took the pill bottle in his hand, as well as a glass of water. "For this test, you'll be requires to take one of these pills every single day, along with your average diet, which will be supplied to you whenever you request it on the phone."
He though about the pills for a second. If he took one of these, as well as his normal diet, he would most likely begin gaining weight. He didn't want to gain weight, however. He just loved food. This was not food, or at least, not the food he wanted. But, he had signed up for 6 months of testing, so it wasnt like he had much if a choice. He took a pill and swallowed it. He felt a faint fizz in his stomach, but nothing noteworthy.
The doctor looked positively ecstatic. "Oh, wonderful. We'll just have to see if it works. Come, allow me to show you to your room." He wrapped his arm around Greg's back and led him to his room, his ha d drifting uncomfortably close to Greg's more that plump ass.
