Bobby!? Thin or Fat

Written by Nehro Abraham Ranay

            In the 2014 world there, almost every building was abandoned. There lived a tall handsome man named Bobby Xer’For. He once lived in a place where it’s all butterflies and rainbows, big smiles and everyone was friendly, and it was called Mother Earth. There, every night he would look up in the sky with sparkling yellow eyes and wonder if he would ever be successful and if there are other people who are much sadder than him.


            Everyday, he would use his free time working out. He really loved doing that. He would do that every single day; and after he works out, he would go in to the bathroom and look at the mirror. He would always see his blonde hair slicked back and his thin, unfit body. He was never disappointed because he was a positive man and he would always try harder every time. And there is a huge deep secret behind it that nobody knows. Not even his parents know it.

            And it is… being a SUPERHERO. Well, he is a real silly man. But when it comes to saving people, he is always serious. He never jokes about it. He doesn’t have room for error. He is a superhero that everyone likes. He wears a baggy suit with a diamond cape. His suit is also made of gold. And his shoes are made of titanium that contains a shock absorber that acts like a protector. It absorbs the shock he gets when landing from a huge fall after fighting so his kneecaps won’t fall off. He has a mask that is super comfy that is fit for a superhero. He has this because he wants to hide his identity from his enemies. Just imagine what they can do when they find out who he really is.

            One day, Bobby Xer’For went out in the woods after a crucial fight against his rival. He was really sad. Bobby was sad not only because he lost against him but also because his friend died during the fight and he was not able to do anything about it. He was really furious. He was hitting every tree in front of him. He cried and cried and he cursed everything he hated about his body. He cursed his body size. He cursed his body structure. And he cursed his squeaky high-pitched voice. And he wished that everything that he hated about him was changed. And a frog-legged witch popped out of the smoke that came out of nowhere.

            The witch immediately said, “Looking for something that would change your body, eh. Well, I have the perfect thing for you.” And she pulls out something out of her mouth. And she hands an insect. Then she says, “This insect right here is going to change everything that you hate about your body. When I mean everything, I mean everything!” He touched it then, BOOM! He was temporarily paralyzed and got unconscious right away.

            Bobby wakes up in his bedroom. Everything that happened last morning was really vague for him. All he remembers was the witch, the insect, and the boom. Oh wait. He remembers flying around the whole town away from the crowd. He couldn’t really move for a few minutes. Well at least that’s what he thought.

            When he woke up, he ran downstairs to eat breakfast but he was shocked to see other random people. People he never even met. Then he asked,”Um… good sirs, what date is it today?” and they answered, “It is March nine twenty thirty six to be exact.” His heart was beating really rapidly. His knees were shaking. And he was sweating cold sweat. He just ran out to the door without replying to them.

            But something was wrong. Or good I suppose? His body was really huge and buff. His voice was masculine and deep. And he was really happy to see this.

            After some time, Bobby heard a person crying for help. He tried killing the beast, but NO. He did not succeed in his mission. He got defeated. He tried his best but he really couldn’t. He couldn’t turn invisible either. He could just do it when he is thin, not buff. After some more fights, the same thing happened. He tries his best. He fails. And he tries his best again. It just keeps on happening again and again.

            Now he knew the consequences. He now realizes that some things happen for a reason. His body structure was like that for a reason. He was this so that he could turn invisible by just sticking to a person. His voice was squeaky so he can deafen his enemies. Because he now knows the consequences, he now wishes he had them all back. He wished that he got his sucky body back and his high-pitched voice back. And after learning the consequences, he attained Nirvana and he flew up, up in the heavens. Now, he is free and the God above is now taking him away for good because he now knows his purpose in life.

THE END.
