Inflation on 10th Avenue

The mirror confirmed what Ballard Wilcox feared: He was getting bigger.

There was no change in his diet; in fact, he’d been eating less since he’d become chronically unemployed. Yet his clothes were tighter, his shirts impossible to button, his pants barely closing around his waist. Stranger yet, he gently pinched his puffy arm, and it just felt…light. And hollow.

She could already feel the difference. Before, the car had been a separate entity, something she drove, under her command. Now they were together, one thing. She was three-quarters machine and one-quarter woman.  Before she was sleek, with a runner’s body and suggestive curves. Now she was downright aerodynamic, with a three-liter engine giving her the kick she needed to really move.

This Only Works Once

The cardboard sign read “Haunted House” in black magic marker with an arrow pointing down the street. It was nearing 10 o’clock; our bags sagged from so much free candy and our limbs were sore.

Julia absentmindedly walked though the mall, wandering the brightly lit halls, trying to relax. She had some things she wanted to buy, a new bra for one, maybe a top. She also wanted to grab a video. She had called in advance to reserve it, so she had plenty of time. There was a large Lingerie shop in one corner, and Julia was slowly making her way there, weaving between shoppers. She arrived in a few minutes and started browsing around, looking for any cute tops. Julia was a short, Hispanic girl, with dark skin, brown eyes, and black hair that went to the middle of her back.
