Try a different tool: A Candy Pop

Josh stood and collected his thoughts, looking himself over in the mirror. This must be a dream!

But no matter how many times he closed and opened his eyes, no matter how many times he pinched his arm, no matter how much he prayed, his reflection in the mirror didn't change to anything familiar.

Josh started screaming at his image. 'Why won't you change!'

Eyleen, startled, 'Jesus brother, calm down!'

Josh turned towards her, alarming. 'Don't you give me that! Its your fault I'm like this now! It was also your idea to hit me again! So don't give me that!'

'Right, right, okay, I'm sorry. So, let me help fix it'

'Please...do!'

Eyleen starts looking around, while Josh examines his face in the mirror.

The store is filled with all sorts of weird things.

Suddenly she comes back, holding a jar of what looks like wrapped candy. 'Look, brother, look!' she says as she points to the label on the jar. It reads: for a refilling experience, pop one! 'I also found it at the counter. The shopkeep most have it there to reverse and return folk back to normal before they leave, right?'

Josh eyed it suspiciously. 'Did you ask the store owner about this?'

'Well, no, he wasn't there'.

'No? Where is he then?'

'Don't know, that's not important. Pop one already'

'What? We don't know if they'll return me to normal for sure. You really just want me to pop something into my mouth without knowing for sure what it does?'

Eyleen had a glimmer to her eyes.

Josh sighed. 'Ugh, well, I'm already in for a penny anyway' he says, as he unwraps one of the jarred candies and put it in his mouth.

It is hard. He has to really chew on it. He keeps on chewing, chewing, chewing.

He really has to chew it hard and for a long time.

It's like it's resisting. Like it gives back whenever he chews, biting back almost. No, biting is the wrong word. Pushing back? Could candy do that? Josh keeps chewing.

'Brother, stop!' Eyleen shouts just as Josh bits down a final time and mashes the candy into pieces, swallowing.

Josh's clothes bursts open. His stomach flies out. Josh's eyes widen in surprise as he looks down at himself.

Josh's body had expanded outwards, becoming fat and huge! How had he not noticed? 'Eyleen, what happened to me?'

Eyleen gulps. 'I don't think those candies are gonna turn you back'.
