Night of the Living Fed

Happy Halloween

I NEED TO THINK OF A BETTER TITLE

Another Halloween one!! I'm on a roll this season, folks.

Oof, this story is more self-indulgent than I ever expected. Let me know if you enjoy it!

Contains force-feeding.

Josh held up his camera in front of his muzzle as he climbed through a hole in a brick wall and entered a dark, dusty basement.

"Yo, what is up, guys?!" Josh grinned into the camera. "It's Halloween night and we're doing something insane!" He turned the camera to show two canines climbing through the hole in the wall behind him. "I'm here with my boys, Nova and Nickel, make sure you subscribe to them!"

Nova was a retriever like Josh, with blue and white fur. "Hey guys!"

"Hi!" Nickel, an orange and white husky, greeted Josh's audience with a wave.

Josh turned the camera back on himself. "Alright it's Halloween and we're about to explore an abandoned candy and chocolate factory at night!! It's late, it's scary, we been hearing noises - but we're doin' this for you guys!!!"

Josh paused to greet some of his fans who were sending messages through the chat on his Livestream.

DerpyPaws: hi josh!!
abandoned-exploration: be safe bro!
ExploringwithBanner: Happy Halloween!
pumpkin205: hi Nova! hi Nickel!

He read the comments out loud with a smile. "Hey guys! Happy Halloween, y'all don't even know how scary this is right now! Listen up for any noises, we been hearing them already!" The retriever laughed nervously.

"Alright, let's just explore this place!" Josh turned his camera around to film a set of battered stairs as the trio climbed up to the main floor.

The factory floor they stepped out onto was littered with debris from the ceiling and broken bits of furniture. Josh filmed various rusty equipment and conveyor belts, asking his viewers to imagine all the candy that would have been rolling along the belts when the factory was in operation.

"I dunno, thinking of all the candy that was made here back in the day, it's making me hungry!" Josh chuckled.

"Dude, Josh! Come look at this!!" Nickel's voice echoed through the dark expanse.

Josh jogged over to where Nova and Nickel were looking down into a huge metal vat. "What's up, guys? Whoa!" He stood up on his tip toes and pointed his camera into the vat. At the bottom of the container, a large amount of caramel-colored liquid shone in the glow of his friends' flashlights. "Y'all seeing this?!"

Josh's livestream chat box exploded with comments.

MarshmallowQueen: Gross
Bananarama13: Bet it smells nasty
DerpyPaws: ewwww I wonder how old that is
ExploringwithBanner: How bad is the stench?

Josh made a face and bent over the vat, sniffing lightly at the air. "Naw, it doesn't smell nasty like we thought. Actually, it smells good. Yo, it smells good!! What! It's like someone was just making candy here!"

After a few minutes, Josh wandered into another room by himself, filming his face as he walked through the darkness. All of a sudden, he froze and his auburn fur stood on end. "Did you guys hear that?" He whispered. Sure enough, the camera picked up a loud banging sound, like doors slamming on their own.

Bananarama13: OH HELL NO
DerpyPaws: get out lol
pumpkin205: ghosts
Borkminster: I'm so scared I'm alone watching this in the dark

The sound stopped as abruptly as it started. Josh turned the camera around to show the closed door in front of him. "Alright I don't know what those sounds were, but we're going to try to open this door and see what's on the other side. Maybe we'll find the control room, who knows!"

Josh's paw came into frame and he tried to turn the handle. It didn't budge.

"Aww man, it's locked. Maybe I'll go up to the second floor, maybe there's the control room up there..." Josh's voice trailed off as the door in front of him opened by itself with a loud creak.

"Oh! I ain't about that, haha, maybe I should turn back, guys... Oh, wait! I know this room!!" Josh stepped into the room and found himself behind a large counter with two empty and rusting cash registers sitting on its dusty surface. Beyond the counter was a small shop complete with shelves, faded displays, and huge, dusty, candy-shaped props and furniture.

Josh walked around the counter and shone his flashlight over the shelves and displays, where bags and boxes of candy sat seemingly untouched. "Oh snap! All these candies is still in its wrappers!"

Josh picked up a bag of jelly beans and turned it over in his paw. "Yo, this place doesn't even smell bad or nothin, it just smells like fresh candy! It smells like it did when it was open and running, it's crazy! I guess the candy smell lingers, I dunno."

The urban explorer put the bag back on its shelf and walked back over to the counter. He set the camera down and focused on a battered couch shaped like an ice cream sandwich that was full of moth holes and coated in dust. Empty candy wrappers and crumbs covered the floor around the candy shaped chairs in the room.

"Ahhh..." Josh plopped himself down in the ice cream sandwich chair and brushed some dust off his hoodie from the resulting cloud. "So let me tell you guys more about the history of this place."

"So I used to come here as a pup, back when it was up and running. Well I still came here when I was older, I just came by myself and got a bunch of candy just because! The place opened in 1989 and closed last year. It's really sad actually, last year two workers died in an accident and the factory was closed down soon afterward. Their ghosts are said to be haunting the factory, trying to keep people from vandalizing the place. Maybe that's why this place is mint, I don't even know..."

Josh looked around as if he'd heard something again. He looked back into the camera and smiled sheepishly. "Yo guys this is actually creepy by myself. I'm gonna go find Nova and Nickel, see if they found the control room yet!"

ExploringwithBanner: Look behind you!!!
pumpkin205: josh!!!
abandoned-exploration: I see something dude something standing right behind you! A shadow!
DerpyPaws: LOOK BEHIND YOU
Borkminster: BEHIND YOU
MarshmallowQueen: RUN!!!

"Man that chats going crazy, I gotta see what you guys are saying..." Josh stood up and was immediately pushed back into the chair by an unseen force.

"Whoa!" Josh stared up into the camera with a mixture of fear and disbelief. "I can't believe I just got that on camera." He whispered.

The retriever tried to stand up again, but was immediately pushed down onto the old chair. This time, ropes shot out of the darkness behind him and tied themselves around Josh's wrists and ankles. His paws were tied behind his back and his ankles were tied to the front legs of the chair. The whites of his eyes flashed in fear as he sat completely still. "Yo what's...what's going on?! Hello?! Who's-"

Josh's voice cut off as two figures, one canine and one feline, materialized in front of him. The spirits resembled cartoony translucent gummy candies rather than the stereotypical image of ghosts with grisly, bleeding wounds. The door behind the cash registers slammed shut by itself, making him jump.

"Boo!" The gummy cat cast a bright green glow that pulsated like a heartbeat as she leaned over him. "Oh my, what a skinny little thing you are! Don't you eat enough at home, Josh?" When she spoke, green goo leaked from her jaws.

"Y...you know my name?"Josh's voice shook.

"Yes, we do." The gooey orange canine glared down at the bound explorer through hollow eyes. "We have been watching you from the moment you trespassed on this private property."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. and Ms. uh..."

"Marvin..." The canine drawled.

"I'm Peeka. Nice to meet you, Joshy!" His feline counterpart cooed.

"I'm sorry Marvin and Peeka, I didn't mean to disturb y'all but I swear we're not like dumb kids, we're just here to explore ya know document the history here. We never break nothing or take anything with us, we don't-"

"Lies!!" Marvin snarled.

Peeka nodded. "Just last week, a cute lil pup came in with a camera like yours," she pointed to Josh's camera, which hissed and crackled with static for a moment. "Don't worry, he wasn't as cute as you. But the little rascal started a fire in the basement. He nearly burnt our home down to the ground."

"But we took care of him." Marvin laughed.

"Oh yes, we did~" Peeka smirked at their captive.

Josh shuddered. "W-what happened to him?"

"You're about to find out, Josh." Marvin grabbed a candy bar from a nearby shelf, peeled off the wrapper and held the treat to Josh's mouth.

"Oh, I-I'm not hungry..." Josh stammered, turning his snout up. "It smells good, though-"

Marvin's ghostly paw forced the chocolate bar into Josh's mouth and clamped around his muzzle so that he would be forced to chew and swallow.

"Hellllp!!" Josh barked with his mouth full of chocolate.

Josh's barking was quickly cut off by Peeka, who stuffed another bar of gooey chocolate into the urban explorer's maw to silence him. "Shhh~"

"Mmmf!" Josh struggled against his restraints as he ate, but the ropes seemed to tighten by themselves. He clamped his jaws shut and turned his snout up, trying to avoid Marvin's next offer of jelly beans.

"Eat it!" Marvin grasped Josh's lower jaw in his gooey paw and forced his mouth open as he tipped the bag of jelly beans down his throat. Josh coughed and spluttered but managed to get them all down, swallowing about two pounds of jelly beans whole.

Marvin and Peeka took turns grabbing candies and cookies and chocolate from the shelves and force-feeding the bound trespasser.

-

"N-no, please, I'm already so full..." Josh groaned and grit his teeth together when Peeka held a pawful of candy corn to his mouth.

"This is what you wanted, isn't it, sugar? To sneak into the factory to disturb some poor ghosts as a Halloween trick?!" Peeka pushed the candy under Josh's lips. "Well, here's your treat. So eat up, Joshy!"

Josh whined as he ate the candy corn that she poured in his mouth. "Please, my stomach hurts so much!"

"Tsk tsk, you should have thought of your poor, skinny, and empty little tummy before you broke into our factory. I can't let your cute face out of my sight until I've fattened you up a bit, sugar!" Peeka giggled with delight. "Bad boys and girls who trespass here need to learn a lesson before we let them go. Why don't you tell your camera how our candy tastes?"

Josh looked into the camera for the first time since the force-feeding began. "Well...the chocolate and the candy tastes good, b-but I keep tasting, like, caramel and another flavor so maybe it's mixed in?"

Peeka smirked and flexed her drippy green claws. "Good tasting, Joshy. Our ectoplasm forms are made from delicious gummy filling that never dries up or runs out. I taste like apple." She stuffed her entire right paw into Josh's mouth.

"And I taste like caramel." Marvin shoved his paw into Josh's mouth as well, and the flavored gummy goo from their paws gushed down his gullet.

Josh's throat bulged with goo as he was forced to swallow it roughly. He moaned and squirmed helplessly in his seat, but the goo kept pouring down his gullet as the room echoed with the sound of his gulping.

Josh's tummy sloshed as it started to inflate and expand as the goo quickly filled him up. His fluffy belly pushed his hoodie up till it was bunched up under his chest.

-

Eventually, Josh stopped struggling and his eyes rolled back in his head as his belly grew another size. He moaned around the candy in his mouth and started to willingly drink up the liquid candy that gushed into his mouth.

"There we go. That didn't take very long." Peeka laughed. "Now he's enjoying it, atta boy Joshy. Drink up, sugar!"

"You enjoy this too much, Peeka. Don't you think he's had enough?" Marvin growled. "I want to get back to my rest in our room. He's learned his lesson."

"Aw, let's give him some more." Peeka extended her free paw and caressed Josh's gurgling gut. "He's enjoying it now, see?" The specter laughed wickedly when the retriever groaned from her touch. "He loves it!"

"Let's just get this over with." Marvin increased the flow of candy into Josh's mouth, making his belly swell rapidly and bounce in his lap as the new weight of it forced his thighs apart.

Satisfied with his punishment, Marvin removed his caramel paw from Josh's muzzle.

"Oh, fine. I guess I'll give Joshy's tummy a break." Peeka slowly retracted her arms from Josh before she sat down next to him, floating above the ground as if she were sitting in an invisible chair.

As soon as the force-feeding stopped, Josh exhaled loudly and started panting with his tongue hanging out to catch his breath. It wasn't long before the first burp escaped from his throat, followed by another and another until he was burping up the access air between moans.

Peeka giggled. "Okay Joshy, now that you're nice and full, why don't you tell us how you feel? Your lil electronic audience is waiting~"

Josh sighed and licked some green and orange goo from his lips. A lot of the sweet ectoplasm had splashed down the front of his hoodie and onto the top of his rounded belly. "I feel so full...like my stomach's just going to explode. I ate too much into a food coma, yo..." He looked down at his belly for the first time and smacked his lips. "Oooh, it's like I ate a beach ball..."

"If you don't get outta here soon, we just might shove a real beach ball down your throat." Marvin snarled.

"Not yet, not yet, we still need to give his little friends their treat." Peeka gently patted Josh on the head, purring when his tail started to wag. "I know you brought friends with you, sugar, and we don't want them to miss out now do we?"

Josh gave a dopey smile and slowly shook his head. "They need to try this candy...hic! It's so good."

"Right, so why don't you grab your camera and go find your friends. Get them to go by the vat of candy in the factory, I'm sure you can lure them there, right, sugar?" She purred and ran her paw across Josh's muzzle, smirking when he weakly licked at her candy claws.

"Yeah, I can...I can do that." Josh sighed in relief as the ropes around his wrists and ankles went slack and coiled on the floor. He immediately reached around and rubbed his stomach gently with one paw. "Unnnf..." He sighed heavily as he looked up at Peeka through half-lidded eyes.

"He looks like he can barely sit up straight, let alone walk, Peeka. I don't trust him to be able to lure the others down here."

"Oh, just look at him, Marvin. Joshy got his belly full and he's feeling drowsy, so he'll do whatever I ask him to do." Peeka stroked the back of Josh's ear. "Isn't that right, sugar?"

Josh merely nodded and hiccuped.

"He better. Let's go get into position, Peeka."

The pair of ghosts vanished into the air as Peeka blew a kiss at the retriever.

Josh scooted to the edge of the chair, hefted himself to his paws, and waddled over to grab his camera from the counter.

"Explorer's, I'm so full...whew, it's hard to breathe actually. Unf."

pumpkin205: he's so bloated!
ExploringwithBanner: Are you okay dude?
ruzirocks87: he needs tummy rubs!

Josh read from the live chat out loud, stuttering a bit as he tried to keep up with the flood of comments.

"I'm, I'm fine. So full though. Man."

DerpyPaws: why does he sound drunk? Lol
Borkminster: I think the ghosts made him eat too much so he'd get sleepy

Josh turned the camera down so that it was pointing at his bloated stomach, which was blocking his hind paws from view. His belly wobbled as he walked to the door, which unlocked and opened by itself to let him pass through. He flipped the camera around as he walked up a set of metal stairs leading into darkness, his claws clicking on the metal. "Ahh, I can barely make it up here." He panted heavily as he grabbed onto the railing with his free paw. "Whew,"

Josh followed a small source of light to the control room on the third floor, where he found Nova and Nickel looking around with their flashlights. There were huge windows looking out over the factory floor behind sets of dials and dusty camera monitor screens.

"Josh, there you are!" Nova turned around and his eyes went wide. "Dude, what happened to your stomach? It's so round!"

Josh hiccuped. "They got candy still in its wrappers! I couldn't help myself, it was all so good."

"I...don't know if you should be eating those, man." Nickel chimed in.

"No it's fresh! The ghosts made it."

"What?! No way."

"Yeah! Y'all should come down and see them. I can prove it!" Josh pointed to the factory floor beyond the windows, where the huge vat of candy sat vacant.

"I don't see anything!"

The surface of the caramel colored liquid rippled as invisible hands stirred the candy with a large stick.

"See?!"

Nova and Nickel quickly followed Josh to the huge metal vat of liquid candy in the center of the factory floor, just outside the room he had been force-fed in. They climbed a few metal steps to the top and peered into the vat at the sweet-smelling liquid below.

As they were looking in, two caramel paws shot out of the candy and forced their way into Nickel's and Nova's mouths. Within minutes, both canines were sporting bloated bellies.

"Atta boy, Joshy." Peeka materialized behind Josh and ran her gooey green paw along the canine's jaw, grinning when he blinked sleepily and licked at the goo. The feline specter ran her dripping paw over his belly then squeezed, making him groan as his knees wobbled.

"Come on up and film your friends." Peeka stalked over to the other explorers and beckoned Josh to stand next to her. When he did, he bent down and aimed his camera at his friends' as their bellies grew swollen and round.

The green gummy cat walked around Josh and moved over to the other two canines. She laughed and poked Nova's rapidly swelling stomach with her soft gummy claw. "This belly is nice and full...and this one, too." She sing-songed as she ran her other paw over Nickel's equally bloated tummy.

"Mmmf!!!" Nova and Nickel strained to get away from the ghost force-feeding them, but their distended bellies were dragging them to the floor. They were soon anchored to the spot by their own full tummies.

Peeka squealed in delight. "These puppies are starting to look like our new friend Joshy, so stuffed and wobbly he can hardly move or think straight..." The ghost's voice hung in the air as she disappeared for a moment.

"But, I think you two need the full factory experience." The feline materialized in front of Josh's friends. "Right, Nickel?" She forced her own apple flavored paws down his throat to add to the stream of caramel liquid already gushing down his gullet.

Nickel's eyes went wide and he groaned out loud as the double streams of candy filled him up, until his belly had pushed his shirt up.

"Nova?" Peeka added her gummy paw into Nova's mouth, helping him to quickly increase the size of his stomach to match the others.

As they were being force-fed and filmed, Josh's live chat pinged with a new flood of comments.

ExploringwithBanner: Hang in there Nova and Nickel!
sventen: They're all getting so big!
MarshmallowQueen: Bet they're full
abandoned-exploration: How much can they hold?

-

When all was said and done, the three urban explorers sat on the steps by the candy vat with their legs spread to give room for their heavily distended bellies. All three tails wagged and thumped loudly against the metal as a chorus of sloshing and gurgling full stomachs echoed through the room.

"You're never going to trespass in here again, are you?" Marvin pointed at them with his dripping paw.

All three heads shook.

"It was nice feeding you, Joshy. Nova. Nickel. Ha ha, I mean, meeting you!" Peeka patted Josh's belly before she grabbed his camera and held it out in front of her. "Happy Halloween~" She winked before the Livestream went offline.
