Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Double takes

A stray thought crosses your mind, maybe you can take another picture of one of these. You doubt it will work, the camera is cursed, but you don't have many options. So you decide to give it a try. Of course you are not going to try this on yourself first, so you roll the beanbag into the middle of the room, then grab the camera and aim it before taking the picture, huffing from the effort of moving around so quickly. Your feet hurt from carrying the unaccustomed weight, so you turn and sit yourself down on the beanbag, which is more then fortified with enough stuffing to accommodate you. The picture slides out, and you wait, watching for shapes to form.

After a moment the lines start to show up, and you see the beanbag taking shape... as it was before! Half empty, sagging. So the Camera must do an on and off thing, one picture makes you fat, the second changes you back! Excited, you turn the camera on yourself and snap a picture. The photo slides out and you look at it expectantly, waiting to see yourself back to your normal trim self.

As the picture develops... you seeing a lot of gray. Then you see eyes, your eyes, and suddenly soo your face. You large, bloated face. It's a selfie, so it's all you can see, but the face in the photo is much larger, you can barely see a muzzle due to the massive cheeks and chins swallowing up the bulk of your face, , and your sure that what is visible past that doesn't look any slimmer.

What? Why didn't it work? If anything, you look worse! You look at the beanbag picture you took. It's half full and sagging. Why did it work... wait... you take a closer look, and notice the area around the beanbag. Sure the bag is half full, but... behind it... there is a pile of white bag beans.

Suddenly you here a tearing sound, and the back of the bean bag splits, spilling the little white beans over the floor as the bag deflates under your weight. You half groan and growl, realizing your mistake. Not only did it not work, you've just made it worse! You try to get up as the bag becomes difficult to get any purchase on, rolling over as you feel a gurgle in the pit of your stomach. You push yourself to you feet, balancing your weight between your legs, and as you stand you feel your shirt pull tight, you pull your shirt down, and feel the tension as your stomach presses against the material. This size doesn't feel like it's going to last much longer.
