An Appetite of Intergalactic Proportions: A True Story

People get hungry. Ideally, hunger is quickly followed by food, and shortly after by happiness.

This, unfortunately, is not the case for Chloé.

Healthy, and yet terrified of exercise, slim, and yet ignorant to calories or saturated fat – she herself would probably admit that the phrase ‘human dustbin’ was probably created for her.

So how, I hear you ask, does one who eats so much stay so slender?

I’ll tell you how, for it is the only remaining possibility.

It’s the portal to outer space in her stomach that does it.

Now, I’m not exactly sure how it works, but chances are that somewhere on the other side of the universe, a little green man is desperately swerving his intergalactic spacecraft to avoid a vast UFO (Undigested Food Orb) with the gravitational pull of a dozen black holes…

Meanwhile, Chloé’s friends can only marvel at the miraculous flatness of her stomach, and pray…

That the food which she so conveniently banished to the outer regions of nowhere doesn’t ever find a way to come back!
