Superbig - Prologue (Part 1) [WG Story Prologue]

Ah... Sundays.
The day of relaxing, the day of the sun, or in my brother's house, the day of arguments.
As I sat down quietly, trying to watch the TV, constant shouts and bursts of anger tumbled down into the lounge from my brother's room. The TV was a mouse in the house, while the yells and roars from upstairs were those of two, savage lions.
My brother, Samuel, or 'Sam' as I call him, his wife Jasmine, and I all live in the same home, at least until I can afford my own accommodation. I'm surprised Sam and Jasmine even got married with all the bickering going on even before Sam pulled out the ring.

After closing the door tight and a couple dozen presses of the volume-up button, I managed to finally hear that one news story I was following, the one that took the media by storm- that of the Gluttonizer.

“The Gluttonizer continues his or her terror as the Mayor's daughter has become a victim of his or her wrongdoings.” burst out the newsreader. Maybe the volume was slightly too loud. “The Mayor's Daughter who was a sufferer of anorexia at less than 100lbs is currently at a weight of an estimated 650 to 700lbs, thanks to what is undoubtedly the work of the villain.”
I didn't notice the arguing had stopped until I noticed Sam had walked into the room and had sat in his special, big red chair. He looked rather tired, annoyed and stressed, with his eyes on the TV. I continued watching.
“For those folks who don't know, the Gluttonizer is a mysterious individual who has caused fast-paced extreme weight gain for women everywhere in the city, tending to target those with anorexia or are underweight. Some accounts state he wakes up his victims in the night, makes them gain weight, then uses something to make them forget what happened, and they go back to sleep. This occurs consecutively over the course of around a week until the woman is, on average, 681lbs.”

“Crazy, right.” I interrupted, turning my head to Sam. He ignored me, eyes still intent on the screen. I ignored his ignorance.

“The motives of the Gluttonizer, who calls him or herself a vigilante, is to show the world the differences between acceptance of under-weights and overweights, and how a lifestyle of indulgence, excess and confidence is nothing to be shamed of. It is true that all of his 'victims' feel 'better than they ever did thin' and upon hospital inspections, are perfectly healthy human beings with a slightly larger fat percentage. Others believe the Gluttonizer is a sexual deviant, exploiting others for their own desires.”

“Sexual deviant? ...no...” interrupted Sam, speaking to himself for the first time this morning.
“Wait... do you support the Gluttonizer?” I asked him. I wouldn't be too surprised if he did. I looked into his eyes, and he knew why I thought that.
“He hasn't done anything to me.” replied Sam, hastily. He immediately then switched off the TV and walked out the room.
“Woah there...” I responded. “I was watching that report. You know what's going to happen right?”
Sam stopped in his tracks.
“What?” he asked sternly.
“The Mayor's gonna call you.” I replied. “After his daughter has been a victim of this villain, I'd be surprised if he doesn't.”
Sam paused for a moment.
“The Mayor knows I'm not like Mom.” he acknowledged, finally.
He walked back upstairs as the arguments started again when Jasmine noticed him return to his room.

You may call us - the 'Gaynes' - a normal dysfunctional 'family'. But on the inside, we definitely aren't.
Mom was a Superhero recruiter. Crazy, right? She was like, Samuel L. Jackson from the Avengers, but more realistic, and probably a bit heavier too. However, 'Superheroes' in real-life aren't like Martians or lab experiments - they're just people with interesting and unique genetics. Like a guy who can disguise the sound of every animal on earth, or someone who speaks every language.

Not only that are my family known for, but Mom was... pretty big. She weighed about 750lbs, on average I'd say, and could hardly move. Her stomach was a massive balloon, with many cinnamon rolls that encompassed her entire body like a ring float. She had dark, long blonde hair and blue eyes, and was always positive and cheerful. Dad loved every inch of her, and we even used her surname, Gayne to identify us.
She was about 20 when my brother was born, and 23 when I was born, but... being partly in the line of action... something happened around a decade or so later. We don't talk about it, but unfortunately she isn't here today. Dad passed away a few days after.

Maybe Mom's why Sam and I are... well... Fat Admirers. Feeders. You know. I'm not surprised he probably supported Gluttonizer then or not. Jasmine was a muffintop when Sam brought her home, and would always be eating something when I saw her. However over time she began losing weight, coming from 'muffintop' to 'curvy' when they got married, and now, she's anorexic. Probably also why they argue a lot more recently. I've never had a relationship myself, ever, at the age of 22, but who knows. Anything could happen. The Gluttonizer could get Jasmine. I could get the girl of my dreams. All are just fantasies at this moment.
As I stood in the same spot, thinking, the phone suddenly rang. I walked towards it and took it into my hands.

-

“Hello? Gayne household.”
“This is the Mayor, could we get Samuel Gayne on the line please?”

-

What a surprise. If I was born first instead of Sam, I'd be the one getting all the attention.
