Shirley had been searching the web for a while, but unsurprisingly typing magic crystal into a search engine didn’t have the desired result, turning up links to holistic crystal therapy, and anecdotes about J-O crystals. She decided to change up her strategy, the pendent obviously had strange powers, and Patricia said she found it on the way to the library, where would someone get something like that. She decided to search up any curiosity shops in the local area, and she found one possible choice. She visited the store’s site and got an email address. Now all she needed was a picture of the pendent to send to the place.
As Shirley peeked into the room, she could see a large shape on the bed, which she quickly identified as her roommate much to her disappointment. “You grew bigger again didn’t you Patty” Shirley said as she went to her sleeping friend’s side. Once she got close, she could really see the difference in her friend, Patricia’s stomach projected forth from her middle like a mountain, its size looking like she had consumed a large beachball whole. Her inflated middle had really started to round out her sides as well gaining width on her slightly wider hips. It was a fascinating spectacle, Patricia’s proportions were obviously unnatural, her limbs and face still relatively lithe and lean, but her stomach a huge swollen sphere that seemed to defy gravity. Shirley reached out to rub her friend’s stomach and she would prod it occasionally still finding it bizarrely pliable yet miraculously firm. The sleeping Patricia smiled slightly at Shirley’s gentle touch enjoying the sensation.
It was all just so impossible, Patricia the shortest and scrawniest person she knew, had in the span of just three day blown up like a balloon, gaining the biggest belly she had ever seen. She got a small blanket off the bed, and covered up Patricia large belly, to make her more comfortable.
“I have to do something about this.” Shirley said determined to help her friend. She took out her cellphone and positioned it, so that she could get a picture of the pendent, to show to her lead. She sent a text to the store with the picture attached. “Hey do you know anything about this?” “My friend found it, and I need to know more about it.” She typed trying to be vague, who knows how they would react if she told the person what was happening.
Having done that, she wondered if she should get the pendent away from Patricia. She had promised she wouldn’t touch it, but this was obviously the cause of her friend’s transformation. Patricia would understand right, but she did seem to be acting strangely when the pendent was involved. Shirley as carefully as she could reached for the pendent. However, the moment she touched it Patricia hand grasped hers, freaking her out. Paralyzed with fear she looked at her friend, and saw that thankfully she was still asleep. Her face though showed that she wasn’t happy, and the vice like grip implied she knew what was going on, and she wasn’t about to let it happen.
Shirley let go, causing Patricia to do the same, and return to a more relaxed slumber. The whole occurrence was really disturbing, like some strange form of sleep walking. The pendent obviously having some sort of control over her. “That tears it.” Shirley said determined to stop this. After experimenting she realized that as long as she didn’t physically touch it Patricia wouldn’t react. So, using utensils she carefully lifted the pendent from around Patricia’s neck and got the pendent. “Ha, got you, you little bastard.” Shirley said triumphantly clutching the pendent, she was about to leave when she heard something.
It was faint sniffling, and some panicked breathing. She turned to find Patricia, sweating and weakly thrashing about on the bed, her hands grasping her belly, and pawing at her bare neck. Patricia’s face started getting redder, she started to look in pain, her face wrenching into the scowl of an infant about to have a tantrum. Shirley couldn’t believe what she was seeing, Patricia had never acted like that before. It was like she was addicted to the pendent. It would only get worse once she awakens. Shirley started to have doubts, should she keep the pendent? She thought it was for the best, but she didn’t know, and she couldn’t leave her friend in that state.
