Sleeve World...

[gmanbat 5,889]

Missy constantly gave her best friend Janet a hard time about her vertical sleeve operation. Although Janet was losing weight and feeling good, Missy relished pointing out that Janet took the "easy way out' and should have had enough will power to lose weight "the normal way". Janet loved her life-long friend Missy but was thinking about dumping her as a friend because of the abuse.

A strange light awoke Missy one night and a feeling of travelling very fast came over her. It only lasted about 10 seconds. Missy shrugged it off and went back to sleep. When she went to her refrigerator the next morning it was nearly empty. When she walked outside she found an odd futuristic setting, nothing was the same. She tried to find out what was happening from her strange neighbors but they refused to talk to her and appeared angry.

She found her way to the indoctrination center that had replaced the library and accessed the computer. She discovered she was in the year 2514, there had been a huge food shortage, the world government "encouraged" everyone to get a Vertical Sleeve Gastronomy to cut down on food use. Those who refused were treated as selfish pigs and called glutton bellies and enemies of the people. They were accused of taking "the easy way out" and were shunned because they refused to do things "the normal way". Missy went to the bathroom and checked her belly, no scars like Janet had, she was in trouble.

She woke up in a cold sweat. Food was in the fridge, back to 2013, it was all a dream. She called Janet and arranged a lunch date and then called a florist to surprise her at work. Janet got her friend back, Missy woke up.
