I was sitting on the couch, texting, when he handed me a piece of gum—blueberry pie-flavored, he said. He told me it was experimental, meant to be filling, almost like a meal. I didn’t think much of it, just popped it in my mouth and kept scrolling through my phone. Then he asked me to stand up. So I did. That’s when everything shifted. At first, it was just a strange feeling in my stomach, like I’d eaten too much too quickly. But then it spread, and I realized it wasn’t just my stomach—it was my chest. I could feel it slowly inflating, like something was filling me from the inside. It wasn’t painful at first, but the pressure quickly grew, and I could feel myself becoming heavier—too heavy. The weight in my chest grew with every passing second, until it felt like I couldn’t stay standing any longer. I stumbled toward the bed, needing to sit down, but the pressure kept building. I collapsed onto the bed, my chest swelling uncontrollably, too full and heavy for me to breathe properly. The fabric of my shirt stretched tightly over my growing form. Every time I chewed, the sensation of being filled up intensified. I couldn’t stop chewing. The gum was too addictive, the flavor too rich. My chest kept inflating, feeling fuller and fuller, and I just couldn’t escape it. No matter how much I tried to move or shift, I couldn’t shake the feeling of my body growing. It was like I was completely at the mercy of this strange, surreal force—and all I could do was chew.
