Reality Bender Rough Draft (Updated)

Reality Bender.

Jade blinked her eyes to try and stay away as the man on the stage droaned on. “And I promise that my new breakthrough in sleep wear techlology will help every single one of you here today get a better nights sleep.” He waved his pale hand in front of the crowd. “And you know that everyone here is looking to get in some extra hours in the morning right.”

An angry voice rang up from the crowd. “Just get on with it. We don’t have all day. And your stupid stand is blocking the entrence to our apartment so say what you will and leave.”

The man pulled at the colar of his poorly made suit and turned around. “Don’t worry.” He opened a steel trunk behind him. “We are almost done here.” Jade yawned as he threw out a few cardboard boxes. “I guess I can skip this. Don’t need these graphs.” He pulled out a pillow. “Ahh here we are.” He turned around. “This my good people will change everything you know about sleep.”

The same angry voice rang out from the crowd. “That is just a pillow you fool.”

He held up his hands and waved the pillow about. “No seriously. I have enhanced this to make your nightly journey into the great beyond a much more fullfing trip. There are sensors inside that will help lull you into sleep and keep you in. Not only that but they will delve into your dreams and keep you in such a relaxed state that nothing can wake you. Not even if you have to use the rest room.”

The crowd laughed at him. “That sounds ludacrious.”

“What a hack.”

“Let us into our apartment already.”

He slammed his foot down onto the stage. “No really.” He scanned the small gathering and spotted Jade. “You miss. You look like you have missed one to many good nights rest.”

Jade help up her pale hands. “I just want to get inside and lie down. I don’t want to be a part of this please.”

“No I insist please come up her miss.”

Jade shook her head and blinked her blue eyes. “Please no. Leave me out of this.”

She felt a sholder bump into her and a femine voice speak up. “Hey lady if this gets us into the building then humor the crazy man.”

“But I. . .” She was suddenly pushed forward. “Hey.” Jade shook her head as she walked up the stage. “Fine let’s get this over with.”

He took her hand and shook it.  “Great. Happy to meet you umm. . .”

“Jade.” She yawned.

“Perfect. I am Cal.”

“I know.” She put her hands into her jean pockets.

Cal dragged his table forward. “Now Jade can you please lie down on this table and rest your head on this pillow? It will be for just a moment.”

“If I fall asleep it will be for more than just a moment.”

He held up his hand. “I am just asking you to feel, not sleep right now.”

She pulled herself up onto the table. “Well what I am feeling is a hard and rough waste of time.” The crowd brust into laugheter and she covered her ears. “If I knew I was going to make people laugh I would have kept quiet. Ugh.”

Cal pulled out the pillow and set it on the table. “That is all very nice and good. Now can you please test out this product.” He lowed his voice. “Before people decide that they want to test out how much of a beating my hide can take?”

Jade sighed. “Fine.” She moved her long dark hair to the side and rested her head on the pillow. “As long as this means I can get into my apartment.” She closed her eyes and rested on the pillow, immedietly drifting off.

Jade found herself floating in a sea of clouds. Ahead of her stood a strange looking house made out of vials. “That is strange.” She stood up and walked towards it. “What in the world would something like this be doing here?”

When she reached the doorway she noticed that it was comprised of bottles all marked with difrent says. Enlargment, Shrinking, Drink Me for a Bunny Good Time. Jade shook her head as she looked at them. “What in the world could these be.” As she picked one out of the doorway marked Spicy Good Time. “Huh weird?” She droped the bottle into her pocket. “Mabye I will save this for later.”  The world suddenly went dark.

Light filled her world. “What happened?”

Cal stood over her. “I was trying to wake you for a good half hour. You just fell aslseep.”

A bottle hit her in the face. “That jerk Cal wouldn’t let us in into he got you awake.”

Jade sat up. “I am sorry. It was just so easy to fall asleep. And I had the most vivid dream.”

Cal smiled. “Yep. My dreamscape pillow will help you focus in on your dreams and make them reality. Neat little thing.”

She picked it up. “I don’t care about that. It just helped me fall into a nice deep slumber almost immediteily. That is good enough for me.” She slid off the table and grabbed the pillow. “Now I will be on my way up to my apartment.”

Cal narrowed his amber eyes. “Arent’ you going to pay me for that merchandize.”

“Hey buddy. You gave me a free sample. I have my lice all over it. Do you really want it back?”

“Lice?” He jumped back. “Umm ya. You can keep it.” He dragged his table away from the entrance to the building. “I need to find someone I know to help me market so this stops happening. Stop giving away free stamples Cal.”

Before she could move the crowd rushed past her and into the building. As the rushed by her, she spun around like a top. “Wohoh.” She held onto her pillow for dear life until she came to a stop. “Yeshh.” Jade sighed. “Can’t you people be calm and pacient?”

She sighed and followed them inside. “Time to get some sleep. Need to be well rested for my wonderful, oh wonderful job tomorrow.” She shook her head. “I hate my life.” She hit the elevator button. “That little stunt by Cal even made it so I will have to go straight to bed after dinner. Great. I was looking forward to some me time tonight.” She held her dreamscape pillow in her hands. “I hope you are worth it in the long run.”

The elevator door opened and Jade sauntered into it. “That dream though was so strange.” She hit the button for the third floor.” I have never had such a vivid dream before. I felt like I was right there. I was so strange.” She reached into her pocket and felt a small bottle. “Huh?”

Jade pulled out a glass vial marked Spicy Good Time. “It is the bottle from my dream. How did this get into my pocket?” She held the bottle up to her face as the elevator came to a stop. “Is this thing even real?” The doors slowly opend and she could see someone on the other side. “Oh crap.” Jade hide the vial back into her pants pocket. “Hello Mr. Elon.”

“Jade.” He walked into the elevator. “How’s work.”

She slid the elevator under her armpit and slipped by her.  “Hell as always. Hope you have a good night.”

“Well they haven’t moved me to the graveyard shift yet so there is that.”

Jade laughed as she walked down the hallway. “Huh.” A few moments later she found herself in front of her doorway. “Finnaly.” She pulled out her key from her pack pocket. “After a lot of nonsense I can finnaly have some me time.” She unlocked her door and pushed open her creaky door. “One of these days I am going to get this thing oiled.”

She walked inside and slammed the door behind her before locking the deadbolt. “Hmm what should I have for dinner?” Jade pulled out her phone. “I am feeling a good fast food night. It is already to late to cook something. Hmm let’s see. Which pizza place should I order from? Ahh here we are Pappa Toneys.” She scrolled through her contacts. “I can feel one of their hot peopronia pizza’s in my stomach right about now.”

The phone began to ring and she tapped her foot. “Hello? Yes I would like to order one medium. . . no make it a large double peprionie pizza. Yes I would love some sauce. Apparment room 35 on Miller Road. Thank you. Have a swell day.” She hung up. “Ok now let’s see what to do. I have a half hour to kill while they deliver my pizza.” She put her hands into her pockets. “Oh yes.”

She pulled out the vial and set it on the table. “Let’s see what exactly you are shall we?” Jade dipped her hand inside and when she pulled her finger out it was covered in strange green sause. “Huh?” She raised it to her lips and licked her fingers. “Hmm not much taste.” Her eyes went wide as heat flooded her mouth. “Ohh god! Hot.” She dropped the bottle and rushed into the kitchen.

“Water I need water.” She opened a cabinet and grabed a glass cup. “Oh god it is spreading down my throat.” She rushed over to the sink and filled up the cup before sending the cooling liquid into her mouth. “Oh god.” She filled her glass once more. “That was intense.”

Jade wiped the sweat from her forhead as she drank some more water. “That was some of the spiceyest sauce I have ever had in my life. I am almost hesitant to try that again.” She took a deep breath as she sipped some more water. “Wow and to think that came from a dream? I think? That weird salesman didn’t just slip that under my pillow when I was sleeping did he?” She set the bottle down onto the table.

“If it did come from that dreamscape pillow thing what else could I conjure up? Oh god I am almost excided to go to bed now. Maybe I could bring forth a bunch of money or something else. Give myself a kitty? Who knows?” Jade laughed. “Now I wish that pizza was here so I could try things out.”

She walked into the other room and sighed. “What am I going to do with this excess hot sauce though?” She picked up the jar. “I have to find a use for it somehow. Hmm I will figure it out later.”

The doorbell rang and Jade rushed to the door. “Just a moment.” She adjusted her shirt before she opend the door to see a young man in a Papa Toney’s uniform standing before her with her pizza. He spoke in a monotone voice. “One double peproonie pizza?”

“Yes.” She reached for her food but he pulled away and held out his other hand.

“Money first. I won’t have theifs on my watch.”

She shook her head. “Fine.” She reached into her pocket and muttered under her breath. “Carol never distrusted me when she delivered pizza before.” She handed the young man the money. “Here.”

“Well that is why the lady was fired.” He handed Jade the food and walked away.

She rolled her eyes and shut her door. “Well have a good day to you too.” She opened her pizza. “At least the food smells good.” She walked into the kitchen and sat down. “Time to dig in.”

Jade quickly ate though her pizza, savoring each bite. While not the best she had ever had, it was decent enough for her tastes. After consuming two slices she bagged the rest up and tossed them into her refrigerator. “I will have enough leftovers for the entire week now which is good as I can’t eat antoher bite.” She streached her arms and yawned. “Ok now to finnaly drift off and get some sleep.

She walked towards her bed room picking up the dreamscape pillow on the way. “I hope this thing helps me get a peaceful night sleep. And if I get something nice from my dream it will be all the better for it.”

She threw the pillow onto the bed before jumping onto it. Jade stretched her arms as her eyes began to droop. “I don’t even think I can take my clothes off. I am so tired.” She fluffed up her pillow before resting her head. “I just hope I remembered to lock the door.” Jade drifted off into sleep.

Jade found herself floating once again in the clouds. She immeditly ran towards the strange house and flung the door wide open. “What interesting things could be waiting for me this time?”

A massive vial stood on top of a table made of glass bottles. Jade walked forward and examined the label. “Drink Me and you will expand your body.”

She scratched at her head. “Just what could that mean?” Jade picked up the bottle and held it up to her face. “Expand what parts of my body? Well I guess there is only one way to find out I guess.”

***

Her eyes burst open as the giant vial looked over her and green liquid poured over her like a flood. “Hey.” She swallowed the strange liquid as she batted the bottle off of her body. “Hugh what a way to wake up. Now I am all wet.” She sighed. “And I didn’t even get to see how that potion worked in my dream.” Jade waved her arms. “My clothes and sheets are soaked now. I wish I could have saved at least some of that potion. Now I am going to have to dream up some more.”

She slid off her bed. “Great. Just great.” Jade made her way over to the window and slid it open. She shilded her eyes as the morning light periced it’s way through her finger tips. “It is already morning? I just dozed off for a little bit. I need to get ready for work.” She turned around. “Holy crap.”

She tossed off her wet clothes and hurried over to her dresser. “Where did I put that uniform. Oh here it is.” Jade yanked out a blue and grey uniform. “Perfect.” She quickly slid on the pants. “Ugh what the hell? Why can’t I zip these things up? Come on.” She squeezed her waist and finnaly she managed to zip her pants up. “Ugh. God finnaly.” She took a deep breath. “These pants are usualy way to loose.”

She bent over to pick up her shirt when she heard a sudden tearing sound. “What was that?” As she stood back up with her shirt in hand she scratched at her head. “I must be going crazy.” Jade walked into the bathroom. “Just get it together. Aurghhh.”

She turned to get a better look at the giant hole on her ass in the mirror. “How did this happen?” She used her right hand to touch her rear end. “My butt is huge. Holy hell I am lucky this tight thing can hold my uniform at all.” She shook her head. “This can’t be happening.” She sawyed back and forth. “My ass even jiggles now? Oh god.”

Jade slid her shirt on. “Well I guess I can just work the drivethrough today. Then people shouldn’t see me.” She adjusted her hair as she felt pressure grow on her chest. “Yes I think I will do that today.” Jade narrowed her eyes as she notied her breasts slowly growing. “Oh god what is happening to me.” She took a few steps away from the mirror. “What did I just drink?” She looked down at her chest. “My body is swelling up.”

She blinked her eyes. “Expand your body?” Jade turned around and her butt slammed into the side of the sink. “I wish I knew this a head of time that expand your body meant expand your boobs and butt.” She grabbed her breasts. “I could have asked for a more fitting uniform. Besides I don’t need everyone learning at me at work. Hopfully this is as big as they are going to get.” Jade sighed. “I don’t need them getting any larger.” She graoned. “Or any more sensitive. They are going to kill me at work today.”

She looked over at the clock. “Oh god I almost forgot. I need to get to work.” She turned around and rushed back into her bed room. “I will worry about this later.” She slipped on her shoes. “I need to hurry.”

Once her shoes were on she hurried out into the next room, grapped her purse and keyes and rushed out the door.

Some time later Jade found herself at Jersy Shersy, the fast food resterant which she worked at. As she walked through the door her manger, Arlold yelled at her. “Jade where have you been. We open in less the fifteen miuntes.”

“I am sorry.” She made her way into the kitchen area and inhaled the hazy fumes from the deep fyer. “I had some issues at home.”

“I am sick and tired of you blaming this on your piss poor sleep.” Arnold pushed his way between two other employees to stand before her, his dark blue eyes staring into her soul. “I am already down two people because it is their damn vacation or something. Why can’t people just not take vacations? It would be so much better for the world.” He looked at her chest. “Is there something different about you?”

“Umm no.”
 “I swear there is.” He tapped his finger on his tan chin. “I just can’t think of it.”

“Hey boss man.” Arnold turned his head. “The damn fryer is on the frits again.”

“Well fix it. I am going to take it out of all of your budgets if you broke it agin so early.”

Jade sighed. “Ok well that went well.” She squeezed her way to the back of the building. “Let’s see what I have to do today.” Her eyes went wide. “Crap. Run the register until lunch time.” She looked down at her chest. “Ughhhh. I am going to have people learing at me all day. Just great.”
