Sam waddled back to the table with a couple of burritos in hand. Her once confident walk was now an insecure waddle. She sat down in front of me with a look of shame and sadness on her face. Her once delicate facial features had been eroded away by fat. “I’m sorry...” She said as her head hung low and she unwrapped her burrito. I actually felt bad for her this time. I hadn’t meant to fatten her up like this, and honestly I enjoyed the sight of the buff Sam much much more.
“Hey you didn’t do anything wrong.” I said as her chubby face looked up at me. “This was all an accident.” The shame and sadness faded away as she looked on with more curiosity now. “I just let my mind wander.” Sam continued to listen as she chewed her food. “It’s hard to explain... I mean I don’t really control what is going on... I just sometimes wonder about things... and... things just happen.”
Sam stopped stuffing her face. She sat the burrito down as a more serious look came across her face. “So you are the reason this happened to me.” She said as her eyes studied me more intently.
“I... No... I... I mean yes.... But no.... I can’t really explain....” I said realizing that I had been found out. “I honestly don’t know why all of this stuff is happening, but it is.... and I seem to be somehow intertwined with everything.... that’s my best explanation.”
“Turn me back into a dude!” Sam said in an assertive tone. “Do it or I’ll kick your ass.” She tried to be threatening, but it was just comical to see the short fat girl trying to act tough.
“No.” I just stared back at her. The anger on her face began to fade. “Look from what I could tell, you were a shit person as a guy... And I bet the female side of you would agree with me.” I watched as I could see her mind racing. The words I had said were bouncing around in her head as Sam the man and Sam the woman battled each other.
Sam’s face turned somber. “Fine.” She said with a sigh. She began to gobble down her second burrito in silence. I couldn’t tell if I had finally broke her or what was going on......
