Mikey reached for the Amulet but it had sunk down and was resting somewhere on his now beefier body. His
clothes too tight for it to slip out .
When Mikey got to school his best friend Alexander, a skinny little wimp of a kid, came right up to him and
said hi.
Say buddy could you get this out. Mikey pointed to a prominent bulge.
Sure. Alexander lifted up Mikey's shirt and pulled out the Amulet. Nice. Where did you get this.
Oh someone gave it to me.
Sure looks nice wish I could have something as nice as this.
At that moment Mikey had an idea. You keep it. He had forgotten about the changes that had happened to him and
how it happened.
Oh I couldn't Alexander said. Sure. It's too small for me anyway.
Alexander said Yea that's for sure and I am sure your going to get a lot bigger by graduation.
Mikey became ravenously hungry right at that moment and he and Alexander rushed across the street to get Mikey
something to eat.
Alexander didn't realize that each of his wishes were now coming true due to his contact with the Amulet but
he did notice the changes happening to his friend.
Well I got to get to class Mikey said.
Me too. See you at lunch?
Oh you bet. I am already hungry but got to get going.
Mikey and Alexander went their separate ways and soon lunch rolled around.
When they met up they rushed across the street to the McDonalds and ordered lunch. Being seniors they were
able to go off campus for lunch.
I wish I could afford to feed you a couple dozen burgers and shakes today.
In moments Alexander felt himself become independently wealthy. He had built a dot com and was now very well
off.
He bought those couple dozen burgers, fries and shakes and they went back to campus and Mikey started to stuff
himself full.
He only got about half way through the two grocery bags of burgers and slowed down. Mikey laid down on his
back on the outdoor bleachers and Alexander began to feed him one by one as each box of fries, each burger and
each shake disappeared into that growing belly.
This became daily ritual.
By the Christmas break Mikey was the biggest football player on the team. He worked out but his size was
slowing him down daily.
It wasn't until football season was over that he lost all interest in football and was more interested in his
friend Alexander. At graduation there wasn't a gown big enough to fit him and it was left wide open. Mikey's
neck rolls showed from his bald head. He was getting a full beard and quite a pronounced waddle.
Mikey and Alexander went off to college and became room mates. Alexander continuing his work on Mikey.
