Donut Hunt Monsters: Part III

The buttery crumbs spilled out of my mouth and onto my velvet robe. As I devoured the ethereal croissant I began to feel drunk with power. Before I knew it I was licking my fingers and scanning the cave greedily for more.

But just as I put one step into the cave’s darkest section the Wood Nymph screamed at me “Stop seeking! You fool! You just ate the last one!” “Don’t you see how powerful you have become?”...Yes, I felt it in my stomach, the butteriness, nuttiness and creaminess, and the power

of the Bavarian Cream Filling. “I am colossus” I bellowed, then knocked over a tee with one punch. Unfortunately, my massive sugar rush was followed shortly by a crash.

The world started growing... but no, wait! The world wasn't growing - I was shrinking! "I am Colossus!" I squeaked, but no one could hear me anymore. Suddenly I was so tired, I just wanted to take a nap.

I felt like Alice in Wonderland, eating things that changed my size and distorted my reality. I didn’t want to shrink! I was meant to be a behemoth. This was just undignified. I sighed, the exhaustion weighing down my eyelids. I knew I couldn’t sleep now. I had to find a way to

stay awake or lose my grip on reality. I widened my eyes, pinched my arm, jumped up and down. Nothing worked. I fell to the floor, warm fuzzies taking over. When I awoke the world had changed. I was no smaller nor larger. Just wider and shorter. Too many desserts will do that.
