Halloween Prompt 6

Day 6: Rest

“And we’re done…” Shannon sighed as she dropped herself onto the couch, ignoring its groans of protest. Her couch had made those same noises since the day she bought it. Speaking of her couch…

Shannon reached under one of the cushions and pulled out a bag of candy. This was her reward for the night. She had taken her kids trick or treating and waddled her fat blubbery butt up street after street until her young ones had pillowcases full of candy. There was no harm in her having bought and stashed a bag for herself. There was also no harm in her eating that entire bag and watching old monster movies until she fell asleep. What? Would she get fat? That ship sailed years ago, and she had made a killing as a plus-sized model. She might be retired from that now, but the fat was here to stay. One bag wouldn’t cause her jeans to burst or her couch to collapse beneath her…although maybe she would lose a button.

“Worth the risk,” Shannon murmured as she lounged on her side and opened the bag of treats. For the next twenty minutes, she did just that. She ate one piece of candy at a time as she worked her way through the opening of a cheesy horror movie. She laughed at the thousandth the call is coming from inside the house trope. “My fat ass would be screwed.” She chuckled as the mental image of her trying and failing to run played. 

Shannon paused. “I wonder if there’s anyone working on a horror movie, but the cast is just a bunch of fat asses…I’d watch that.” She mused and idly rubbed her stomach. Shannon had been a plus-sized model once upon a time. She had even acted in a shitty low-budget film that made the cheese fest in front of her look like an Oscar-winner. 

Shannon rolled onto her back and looked down. She saw the bump of her chest and the much larger curve of her stomach. She didn’t model anymore, and her focus was more on her kids. The idea of getting some of her old friends together and making another shitty movie sounded fun, though. 

“Meh, I can think about that later.” Shannon stretched, her shirt riding up to expose more of her lightly tanned belly. She had a bag of candy to go through. She would simply eat until she fell asleep. That was something that would never change.
