I bought a potion on the black market that promised muscles. I rushed home, excited to drink it—didn’t even read the fine print. The label said something like “Muscles or Body Inflation,” but I only saw the word muscles and didn’t think twice. I downed it in one go. At first, nothing happened. But then... my belly started to feel tight. A strange pressure began to build inside me. Slowly at first—but then faster and faster—my stomach began to swell. It grew. And grew. And grew. I watched in shock as my belly expanded outward, becoming round, heavy, and taut. My shirt rose up, unable to contain the sheer size of it. I tried to stop it, to hold it in, but it was useless. The pressure wouldn’t let up. My belly kept inflating—like a balloon being filled beyond its limit. It’s huge now. Heavy, full, tight as a drum. I can barely move. I can’t see my feet. What’s happening to me?! Am I stuck like this forever... or am I going to burst?!
