Birthday Party

Upon arriving at the house, Lauren could hear children screaming. 'Great, just great.' Lauren thought, as she walked through the open wooden gate covered in vines and leaves, how inviting.

What Lauren saw almost made her regret coming. A pool full of adults and next to it was a kiddie pool filled to capacity with the children heard earlier. Lauren's only solace was the intoxicating aroma of food on the grill. Hamburgers, hotdogs, all the cookout favorites, but as good as that smells, Lauren has to remember her diet plan that she started a month ago due to selfies showing a little more curves than she wanted. Her stomach couldn't be swayed, it wanted that pile of meat and grease.
