Dani slowly opened the door to the store. She had to be cautious, as she'd just killed almost a dozen infected on this street. As she entered the store, she looked around. One of those small general stores, with plenty of canned food, and none of it spoiled. Score! Food was becoming rarer and rarer in the city.

"Good thing I always have enough to eat though." Dani said as she patted her fat belly.

She unslung the backpack she had brought with her and began loading the cans into it. She looked at herself in a mirror she passed. Dani was a young woman with bright red hair and a distinct hourglass figure. It was the year 2118, two years after the bombs dropped. The bomb's radiation had turned most of the world's creatures into hideous mutants, humans included. The city was unique, as it and the areas around it were one of the few areas in the world that were still habitable. Sure, they still had their fair share of mutants, but at least some people survived. And they had probably the last working military base in the world. The military base took in all survivors, with one condition: Everyone had to earn their share. There was no money anymore. People worked for food. And it just so happened that the best paying position was a forager.

"Hm, looks like I'm starting to get kind of chunky." Dani said as she looked at her reflection. "But that's the risk I run as number one forager!"

Dani looked at the flight of stairs in the back room."Hm, one of those businesses with a house on the second floor. Bet they have a whole pantry full of goodies for me to take!"

As Dani stepped down on the first stair, it cracked under the weight of her foot. "Whoah! Guess this wood's pretty old!" She quickly tiptoed up the rest of the stairs.

At the top, she opened the door she assumed to be the kitchen. "Come to mama!" But all she found was a brute in an empty room.

The radiation had increased the physical capacity of some mutants, making them much stronger and faster. These ones were known as brutes. Some said the increase made them smarter, as many (including this one) had been seen wielding primitive weapons. There were even reports of some speaking basic English!

The brute stared Dani down. It then gave a bloodcurdling shriek and ran at Dani, brandishing the heavy wooden club it was wielding. She started to run down the stairs. It only made it to the first stair before it fell through.

Dani burst out laughing. "All that extra muscle and look where it got you! Crashing through floors-" She was cut off as the stairs gave way between her feet.

The brute made a noise close to a laugh. She could feel her rear end stuck in the middle. Her belly was still on the surface, keeping her hefty body from falling any farther in. She quickly assessed the situation. The brute was already pulling itself out of it's hole. She did not have the upper arm strength to lift all of her fat up (she had failed the pushup section of her test to become a forager.).

"Well, if I can't go up, I'll have to go down!" She thought.

She sucked all the air out of her ample gut, hoping it would be enough. She squeezed through just in time to dodge a blow from the brute.

Dani landed on her feet and quickly ran out the storefront. As she got onto the street, she saw that it was infested with infected.

"Damn! The noise must have drawn them!" Dani thought as the infected started to shuffle towards her.

The infected were too close to shoot with her plasma rifle. Dani prepared to cut them down with her machete. Just then, an ORCA rolled down the street.

The ORCA stood for Omnipurpose Recon Car and Arsenal. They were designed much like busses, only with military upgrades, including spikes on the front. Perfect for running down pesky infected.

The driver unrolled her window. Dani groaned. It was Kuma. Kuma was a dark haired woman who was the opposite of Dani in almost every way. She was thin and athletic. Being an ORCA driver was not a high paying position, but Kuma didn't care, as she absolutely loathed fat. Which isn't bad in and of itself, but she was the kind of person who had to enforce her beliefs on everyone else. Because of this, Dani and her did not get along well.

"About time you showed up!" Dani said.

"The major said someone had to save your fat ass." Kuma replied. Just then, the brute burst through the storefront. "Man the gun!" Kuma yelled.

The back door of the ORCA was equipped with a mounted plasma machine gun. Dani grabbed it and aimed at the brute. She fired round upon round on the brute. If it were a normal infected, it would have disintegrated by now. But the brute kept coming.

Eventually Dani admitted "It's too strong! We need to go!" She closed the back door as she stepped in.

Dani's warning came too late. Before the orca could start, the brute jumped and grabbed onto the side. As the ORCA sped away from the storefront with the brute hanging on. Dani raised the metal shutters from the window and shot it point blank in the face with her plasma rifle. It hissed at Dani and pulled itself up onto the vehicle's roof. It began bashing on the roof repeatedly with it's club, trying to gain access.

"I'm heading to the downtown tunnel!" Kuma announced.

"But that tunnel is supposed to be full of infected!"

"Calm your fat ass big girl, I've got a plan!"

Just outside the tunnel the brute had almost bashed through the ceiling. It let out a bloodcurdling howl and prepared for the final blow. It was knocked off due to the low clearance of the tunnel.

The brute was gone, but as Dani looked ahead, she saw a horde of infected in the head lights. Dani prepared herself for her death. What she thought would be her death turned out to be a series of speed bumps.

"If you weren't so busy gorging yourself you'd know I've done extensive upgrades on this ORCA's ramming capabilities." Kuma gloated. Dani sat back and relaxed the rest of the trip.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The first thing Dani did when she got back to the base was see the major. The major was an elderly man, and the most senior officer in the base. He was sort of like a father figure to Dani, which helped her emotionally since her real father had died in a drunk driving incident before she was born.

"Hello, Daniela!" The major said, teasingly greeting her with her full name. "How'd the foraging go today?"

"Good, actually." Dani replied. "I think I nicked enough food for a week! Has the expedition come back?"

"No," The major answered. "And their heart rate monitors have gone silent. I think we may be wasting too many people on these expeditions."

There were only a few habitable cities left in the world. One of these was the metropolis of Lincoln City. It was about an eight hour drive from the city, but it was the only other major city in Hell's Desert. It was once considered a wasteland, yet ironically Hell's Desert was now the only area not engulfed by nuclear waste.

"No, I'm sure we'll expand to Lincoln City eventually. Now why don't you go to dinner. You've earned it!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Dani stumbled into her room clutching her stomach. That was a big dinner, even by her standards. As she waddled into her room, she noticed an item that wasn't there before. It was an electric scale. With a note on it.

Dani picked it up and read it.

Dear Daniela,

I've tried everything I can to convince you to shed the enormous amounts of blubber gracing your form, but my valiant efforts have been for naught. Maybe if you see how fat you've gotten you'll be motivated to lose some weight.

-Sincerely, Kuma.

Dani crumpled up the note. She decided not to talk about the "gift" with Kuma. Still, she was somewhat curious to see if she was as fat as everybody was saying. She flung her T-shirt aside and peeled off her sweat pants. She had gotten used to sleeping in her undergarments since the bombs dropped. The black bra she was wearing was too small for her meaty breasts, as the flesh was practically spilling over the bra strap. Her shorts were no better. Her thong was so buried in fat you could hardly tell she was wearing it. She stepped onto the scale. It loaded for a second and finally produced her weight: 155 pounds.

Not a huge amount, but a significant weight gain for someone who weighed 109 pounds only a few months ago. She decided to ignore it and go to bed. She could not help but look behind her in the mirror as she walked to bed and see her butt swaying and her belly wobbling. In fact, her whole body jiggled as she layed her double chinned head to rest.
