Short Preview of Amazing Short Stories

Chapter 1 of Super Eternal Transformation

Alter Call

Vick Scaner sat on the porch by his television asking himself, “Is it
better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all?” He
could not answer that question amid his present situation. “Barbra
was the only girl for me, and she left me at the altar for my friend,”
Vick complained in distress.

Vick was a 35-year-old, five-foot-sixinch, overweight sales manager at a car company. His girlfriend,Barbra, had been cheating on him for the past five years that they
had been together. Furthermore, she was controlling and always
mistreated Vick. He was infatuated with Barbra. He overlooked a
lot of signs that Barbra was not committed to the relationship. She
always made excuses as to why she could not make several of their
mutually planned dates.

Vick always thought she traveled a lot for
her job. She was the secretary to Vick’s best friend, Leroy. It was a
job that Vick had helped her get. Although Vick had a feeling that
Leroy and Barbra might be having a fling, he convinced himself
otherwise and decided he was paranoid. It was not until the day of
their wedding, two weeks ago, when he was left at the altar that he
realized he should have addressed his concern in a more serious
manner. Vick, who had been friends with Leroy longer than he had
been with Barbra, was depressed beyond words. He watched his
once beloved girlfriend, Barbra, run away with one of his few
friends, Leroy. When the heartbroken man asked why she did such
a thing to him, all she could say was, “Leroy is more of a man than
you could ever be.” Those words have been ringing in Vick’s head
for the past two weeks since the incident. All he did since that time
was drink and eat, thereby making him gain 20 more pounds to his
already overweight body of 250 pounds.


“Hey Vick, are you in there?” Vick’s co-worker said. “This is Erik
from work.” Vick did not move an inch from where he sat. He
barely heard his doorbell ringing. He had been sitting in the same
spot for the last two weeks, getting up only to get food from his
freezer and to order from Thai and Chinese restaurants. Vick still
had on a shirt and trousers from his “never-happened” wedding.
“Hi Vick, I let myself in, the door was open… damn! Dude, you
stink as hell man,” Erik, Vick’s co-worker, could barely finish his
words because of the stench he perceived as he entered Vick’s twobedroom apartment.

Vick remained quiet as he stared at the
television he hadn’t changed since he sat on his couch. Erik noticed
the take-out plates all around Vick’s already messed up apartment.
“Dude, look at you man, this ain’t right fool. I know you went
through hell but this will not solve your problem homeboy.” Erik,
who was a tall and nice-looking Latin American man, said as he
was trying to comfort his co-worker. Dejected Vick was surprised
at Erik’s behavior because they had just recently started talking.
“Hey man, you would not feel any better if you lock yourself up in
this place,” Erik said, looking around before he finished his words.
“Come on, let’s go out tonight, you, me, and some big booties all
up in our faces all night bro!” Vick’s reactions were as if he hadn’t
heard a word Erik had said, but he nodded his head and got up and
headed towards his room. “Holy shit dude! Even ass smells better
than you right now man! Damn!” Erik exclaimed with a horrified
look as soon as Vick got up. Vick did not care because he was not
listening. His ex’s words still rang in his head as he walked to his
bathroom. He took off his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror
with tears rolling down his face. “At least I got my hair,”
whispering his first words since the incident. He then looked at
himself and noticed his hair receding.
