Colt tossed his backpack on the ground and fell onto the couch with a groan. The hockey team's goalie was graduating early, and they desperately needed someone to fill in the part for the rest of the year. Colt had been a forward his whole career, but coach must have noticed the small beer belly he'd developed since starting college and attending all those parties. The shark sat up and angrily shook the mound of fat at his waist.
"Grrr, this is your fault. Coach literally said I was the biggest on the team – 'it wouldn't take ya much more Colt!' – ugh, and that slap to my gut was a bit over the top." He flopped back down again. Colt was just shy of 210lbs, but needed to reach at least 250lbs, ideally a bit more. Pulling out his phone, he held the voice button. "Search the web for 'how-to put-on weight fast.'" The results popped up and he began scrolling through a few blogs, saving recipes that sounded good. "Guess I get to drink a lot of shakes, not a terrible trade. Plus, coach said I could go back to being a forward once we get a new goalie next year..." Sighing again, he opened a grocery list app and began to daydream about nationals while adding the expansive list of recommended foods.
