Finally Matilda swallowed, slowly, and with a quiver to her laboured breathing. Her body grumbled under the small yet ever-increasing load.
“Anyway,” I began, trying to rouse the overfed girl from her concerned gaze, “What I really wanted to ask was, if you don’t think it’s too forward an’ all, but, well, I sense there’s a chemistry between us and, thing is, I was wondering if you’d like to be my girlfr…”
“Oh… shit…” Matilda coughed, cutting off my heartfelt, if somewhat rambling proposal.
We both fell into a stunned silence for a moment. With it, it sounded like the now familiar creaking of her colossal body, and the low, guttural growls from within were growing louder.
“…I… I… don’t… feel… so…”
Matilda seemed to wriggle uncomfortably within her own enormousness, although it was hard for her diminutive frame to have much effect on the monstrous bulk of her corpulence. Then the movement grew gradually more intense, as though she were being jostled from beneath, sending sloshing ripples through her gargantuan flanks of fat.
“…Oh… shit!… Oh god!… I… I think… I’m… starting to… get… bigger…”
“Surely you’re always getting kind of bigger?” I tried to comfort, lightheartedly. There was no response though. Matilda just looked at me with wide, panicking eyes. As the jostling intensified further, her gaze instead began to dart around, fearfully observing the ever so slowly swelling of her already engorged figure.
She was indeed getting bigger, and heavier, and at a steadily increasing rate. And then, the klaxon once again began to sound, and before I could give Matilda a reassuring touch to her cheek, the platform began to lift, rapidly.
“W-What’s… what’s happening… to… me…?!”
I stumbled and fell back giddily, then quickly attempted to stand and brace myself on the handrails of the swaying platform. I peered over the edge, back down to the helpless girl steadily swelling, her voice growing ever more faint as the hoist whisked me away, and the commotion in the room began to grow.
“Help!… please… some… one… help!… I’m… I’m blowing up!”
Hurried footsteps clattered on the catwalk of the gantry crane above, as the impossibly large girl swelled even larger.
“I’m getting… too… mmpphhh!… big… please… mmpphhh!!
