Full Body Inflation

I woke up at ten in the morning- the perfect time, really. Since the spherification procedure I always slept so well- it had made my life so much more comfortable. I wiggled in the bowl-shaped bed where I slept, my huge round body rubbing against the soft padded rim of the bed. 

"Good morning." I heard a soothing female voice- the house's computer had detected that I was awake. I decided I might as well get up- I had a party later that day to get ready for. 

"Morning procedure, please."

Jack leaps over the fence and lands in the grass beside Shelly. He cautiously looks back over the four foot tall wood fence and doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. He breathes a sigh of relief and sits next to Shelly.

Shelly half winces and smiles as she holds the side of her belly, "That went well."

Jack pulls aside her hand and sees the bite mark. Worry and concern fills his eyes, "No, no, no."

Shelly returns her hand to the wound, "I got bit."

Trent curses as he digs through the box of comics he'd bought from the bookstore and a cloud of dust rushes up out of the box. He pulls out dusty issues of Superman, Batman, and others ranging from Supergirl to Spiderman. He notes the formerly white pages are now brown and knows none of these have any resale value, but he loves comics and only paid five bucks for the whole box. He digs out more comics, stacks them on the floor, and notices a shiny metal something in the bottom of the box.
