A locket with a picture of a fat man on it.
by: Unknown
From his pocket, Mike produced a strange golden necklace with a picture of a fat man surrounded by mountains of food carved into round coin. It seemed to glitter unnaturally in the sun.
Carlos stared at it for a few moments, stunned at the artifact's beauty, but feeling strangely bloated at the same time, like he swallowed an entire bottle soda.
"I was thinking it could be some kind of treasure," Mike said, putting away the necklace, snapping Carlos out of his trance.
"Ya, I think so too," Carlos said a little bit dazed.
"Do you think we should go sell it? I mean, think of the money we could get: it's made of solad gold," Mike said, growing excited by the prospect.
Carlos thought hard about the suggestion, then tucked at his pants - that seemed to have grown slightly tighter over the last few minutes - and then he said: "Well, I think it's best we keep it here. Just think about it: if we tell other people that we found a priceless object at the beach, they might turn the place into an excavation sight; just think how it would ruin the place."
Mike was visible taken aback about the scenario. "I guess it's probably for the best that we don't tell anyone then, huh?" Mike said; "But we have to do something with it."
Mike pulled out the necklace and Carlos studied the thing again. But suddenly, his belly began to growl, which was odd, seeing that he ate just a few minutes ago, but that was all just junkfood.
"Want something to eat?" Carlos asked Mike," Because I'm starving."
"No thanks..." Mike began to say, but then he was interrupted by the loud gurgle of his chubby belly. "I guess I can have something to eat," he said, but his voice had a slight anxiousness in it, suggesting that he was concerned as well about his sudden hunger.
