Arthur's mom tried hard, but sometimes she had no idea what her son was thinking, or why the only thing that made him happy was food, more food. Endless supplies of food, glorious food.┬а
"Did you have a nice birthday, dear?" she asked. "Was the cake big enough?"┬а
But Arthur didn't answer because he wasn't listening. He was thinking about his new miracle weight-loss device. If only it would work! If only he really could go to sleep fat and wake up thin!┬а
On the way out of the kitchen, Arthur snagged eleven Oreo cookies and slipped them into his over┬нsized pockets. Just for luck. Then he headed down the cellar stairs into the deep, dark basement.┬а
And his life, and the world, and the universe would never be the same again.
