Loud screaming echoes all around the area. The air is noxious and smells like puke and death. All around people are melting away to nothing but bones. Their features dissipating into a fleshy red soup on the ground. It is too much for Nicole. She's starting to feel the heat and begins sweating profusely. And was her skin always this itchy. Why is she itching so much?
"NICOLE, NICOLE, NICOLE"
"Nicole! Wake Up!"
Nicole wakes up sweating and gasping for air in her living room. It was only a nightmare. In front of her is her friend Bianca.
"Nicole are you alright? You looked like you were having a really bad dream" says Bianca.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just a bad nightmare." Nicole says still trying to steady her breathing.
"I don't blame you. I couldn't stop thinking about that movie we watched last night. It terrified me. What did you say it was called again?"
"The Blob", Nicole replied bluntly.
"Yeah oh man those scenes where the people were digested inside of it were horrific. But it will be nothing compared to our horror movie" Bianca said a little bit too enthusiastic.
"About time you two woke up." Her friend Patricia says walking into the room.
"Nicole we thought you were having a seizure", Patricia says jokingly.
Nicole kicks off her blankets and walks around her living room. What she really wanted right now was her mom but she couldn't let her friends know that. So she put on a brave face.
"Have you guys seen my parents?" Nicole asks.
"Nope. And I was looking. I even went into their bedroom," Patricia says.
"You did what? What the hell Patricia! What if you walked in on them doing something?" Nicole says shocked.
"Relax no one was in there. And your mom said she'd make us pancakes in the morning. Well it's the morning. Where are my goddamn pancakes Nicole!" Patricia shouts.
As the two girls go back and forth Bianca hears a commotion going on outside. She looks out the living room window to see a large crowd gathering at the end of the street.
"Hey guys something's going on outside?"
"What happened did Nicole's neighbor old Mrs. Soto finally kick the bucket?" Patricia asked.
"I don't see any ambulances but people are walking out of their houses towards something in the street. Something big," Bianca says.
Bianca scans the crowd and the color starts to drain from her face when her vision travels up towards what they are gawking at.
"Ah Nicole. I think I found your mom."
"What is she in the crowd?"
"Um, not exactly." Bianca says as Nicole and Patricia join her by the window.
Sitting down at the end of the street still wearing the pajamas she had on when she wished them goodnight is her mom, Debbie. Only she is freaking huge. Even sitting down she is bigger than any house or the neighborhood.
Immediately Nicole knew that this must have something to do with her dad's size device. She wondered what could've driven him to grow mom to such a monstrous size. Looking at Debbie's face she did not seem happy about her current situation in fact she seemed very uncomfortable.
"Oh my god Nicole, your mom is ginormous!" Bianca yells.
"I'll say. Look at the size of her feet. They're bigger than driveways." Patricia says.
"Shut up you guys this isn't funny. I have to see what happened." Nicole says putting on her shoes. "I have to see what's going on."
"Hold on a minute Nicole. Let us come and Bianca bring the camera. I think your mom just gave me an idea for our movie. What if it was about her?"
"What are talking about Patricia?" Bianca scoffed.
"Think about. One morning a normal sleepy neighborhood wakes up to see their neighbor 10 stories tall. Now driven by the rejection of her loved ones and friends the shunned woman goes on brutal rampage across the neighborhood. Can anyone put a stop to her?" Patricia said in her best dramatized announcer voice.
"My mom wouldn't do any of that Patricia you're crazy."
"Hold on Nicole maybe Patricia is right" Bianca retorted.
"What?" Nicole shot back at Bianca.
"Not about your mom going on a rampage but we should film this. You saw how many people are out there. Think about how many photos and videos are being posted online about your mom right now. But what if our movie became a documentary about this bizarre event? Documentaries are all the rage right now and here we are at ground zero."
Bianca's suggestion did intrigue Nicole.
"Fine bring the camera. Just hurry up you guys."
The girls quickly got ready and hurried out the door.
The three friends made their way through the crowd of onlookers. Nicole saw what looked like her dad in a chemical suit pouring jars some liquid into a trash barrel in front of Debbie. Still trying to make her way to the front Nicole saw her mom drink the contents of barrel and then give off a largest burp ever that echoed through the crowd. Then everything was silent as all eyes were on on Debbie. Nicole and her friends used this time cut through a few more rows of people. They stopped when they heard a titanic groan and saw Nicole's mom grab at her stomach.
"UGH, I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD," the words fell out of Debbie's mouth accompanied by several more bodily noises.
Nicole knew the look on her mom's face. The last time she had seen it was when Debbie had gotten car sick on their last vacation before her dad pulled over, and she...
"Guys we have to get back now!" Nicole yelled at her friends aware of the imminent danger they were in.
"What! Are you serious? No way." Patricia insisted. "Bianca keep filming. If Nicole's mom craps herself in public I want to get it on video," Patricia ordered Bianca who resumed filming albeit now with a shaking hands.
"No you don't understand we're in real danger."
Nicole looked back towards her mom and saw her dad similarly yelling trying in vain to get the crowd of onlookers back when Debbie started dry heaving. Nicole desperately tried to get back further but hit a wall of adult bodies encroaching closer. They looked back in time to see the first wave greenish yellow bile impact the crowd. Immediately the people hit fall to the ground and scream in agony as Debbie's stomach acid begins to melt away their flesh. They offer little resistance as two rows of gawkers are quickly reduced to skeletons.
After seeing this act of brutality the screaming crowd frantically tries run back while the crowd in the back pushes forward trying to get a better view. It becomes a death trap with the Nicole and her friends stuck in the middle.
“I’M SORRY! I’M SO SORRY!" Debbie says regretfully her mouth hanging open with the last word.
"Look out she's going to puked again," a woman in the crowd shouts before an even bigger wave of vomit is released.
This one is so close to Nicole that she feel the heat as it hits the cold pavement. Hears the sizzle of acids and the guttural last screams. Smells the rotting stench of flesh and fat being melted away. It is all too overwhelming for Nicole who becomes paralyzed in shock.
"Nicole! Nicole! Nicole!" Patricia screams at her friend.
Patricia slaps her across the face.
"Come on we have to get off the street." Patricia says.
Unfortunately while Nicole was her catatonic state the three have become encircled by an acidic lake. The ground is littered with the skeletal remains sitting in a bog of yellow greenish boiling stomach acid now dyed red. Everyone in front of them lay dead or was in the process of dying a horrible death. They look ahead to see the previously mentioned elderly Mrs. Soto who had been knocked down in the stampede of people desperately crawling on the ground as her hands and feet were eaten away to boney nubs. The old woman screams as she falls forwards directly into the acid. When Mrs. Soto lifts her head up the three girls scream in terror as her entire face been eaten away and all that remains is the front of her skull. Mrs. Soto's jaw bone moves and she reaches one of her arms out to the girls but with no tongue no sound is heard before she succumbs to her burns and falls back into the stomach acids and soon nothing but another skeleton.
Nicole look up towards her mom seeing her hand covering her mouth and knowing what was coming next.
"NICOLE, NICOLE, NICOLE"
"Nicole! Wake Up!"
Nicole wakes up sweating and gasping for air in her living room. It was only a nightmare. In front of her is her friend Bianca.
