Blueberry Inflation Literature Collection: Volume III

Dumb Wish

The genie hasn't finished explaining the rules when I realize what I want. The words spill out of my mouth.

"Can you turn me into a blueberry like in the Willy Wonka movie?" My request hangs in the air of the abandoned antique shop. Kass and the genie stop talking. Both look at me completely bewildered, and I can feel my cheeks turning red. Kass is the first to break the silence.

"Why... why would you want that?" Her eye brows raise with increasing confusion and I look away. This is so embarrassing! I can't believe I'm going to reveal my kink to my best friend like this... But there's no way I can wish for anything else. I look aside and play nervously with my hair, trying to come up with an explanation.

"I dunno, it's complicated. It would take me a little while to explain why I want this."

Then the genie chimes in. "Is that, like, your fetish or something?" Her arms are crossed below her chest. She floats above her lamp, staring at me with the most judgmental look. This feels so shameful. What's worse is that she's right.

"U-um... yeah. It t—it turns me on." I can't believe this is happening. It's one thing that I'm actually talking to a genie right now, but now I'm being kinkshamed by a genie. I turn back to Kass and smile meekly.

"Dude. What?" She looks completely dumbfounded now.

My cheeks are on fire as I freak out. "What, what!? Don't kinkshame me right now, please!"

Kass straightens out and breathes before looking at me anew. "I'm not kinkshaming you. I didn't even know someone could be into that, but whatever. I'm just not sure if it's wise to spend your wish on... that, of all things?"

"I'm kind of with your friend on this one," says the genie now smiling at me paternally. "I mean, I don't care what you wish for. You'll get it. But I'm a genie! I can make you rich and powerful, destroy your enemies, anything! Even if you are a total pervert, can't you think of something better for me to do than blow you up like a balloon?"

"Like a blueberry." I must sound weird correcting a genie like this, but I want to be clear about what I want. I'm still so embarrassed... but I'm starting to feel excited too. My body trembles and there's a tingle from my pelvis to my chin. When I snuck into this abandoned building with Kass, when we rubbed the dusty lamp, I wasn't imagining anything like this. Now there's a genie telling me she can blow me up. I've wanted it every day, as long as I can remember. I want to be huge. I want to be juicy. I don't care who kinkshames me if this wish can make that happen. "Can you make that happen?"

The genie sighs. "Yes. I can make your body ripen with blueberry juice, uncontrollably, until you're a fat, immobile blueberry. But I—"

"I wish for that, do it." I blurt it out uncontrollably. I can't help it anymore. My friend is shouting at me, raising her hands in exasperation, but I don't care, this is my wish. My heart beats faster and faster as the genie claps her hands together. There's a popping sound as the room flashes white. Then... nothing else happens. I look around, still shaking slightly as Kass lowers her hands cautiously. The room is so quiet. I'm so nervous.

I turn back to the genie, confused. "So... do you like give me a stick of gum to chew or something? How do I make it start?"

The genie smiles at me for a few ominous moments before laughing dotingly. It's a little weird, almost scary. She speaks between chuckles. "Oh sweetie, it's already started."

Suddenly, Kass lets out a squeak and raises her hands to her mouth. Her eyes go wide as she looks at me, pointing to my face. The genie mimics her sarcastically. I can feel my cheeks blush again. Is this really happening? I already know what they're pointing at. "Is—is it my nose?" Kass nods.
