11/9/2020 - 1:25 PM. Maia's phone buzzed informing her for the fifth time that her interview was approaching. Her tall heels clicked against meandering tiled pathway. She walked through a forest for bronze statues: imposing recreations of prize winning scientists. Islands of verdant garden hid the feet of the statues from view. The aroma of blooming flowers and the sound of trickling water from the various fountains provided a beautiful contrast to the bronze colossi. Men and women in tailored suits and dresses crisscrossed the hall on their way to important meetings. She steadied her shaking hands on the black marble reception desk.

"Hi. Maia Thorne here to check in? I have an interview scheduled about a half hour from now with Hugo Lipman. Department of Data Aggregation and Storage."

One of the receptionists, Elizabeth, gave a friendly smile and brushed a strand of short black hair out of her face. "I'll let them know you're here, please take a seat."

Maia took a seat underneath a bronze statue of Marie Curie. Her mind ran through her interview preparations: answers to potential tricky questions, rationalizations for academic choices. Her stomach growled anxiously. Quiet you. She pulled out her phone, opened up her appetite implant's control app. With a swipe of her finger she cranked the satisfaction bar up to 80%. She tapped update, and held the phone to her stomach just below her breasts. Immediately she felt a faint of buzzing in her stomach as the implant activated and sent electrical signals to her brain. Her hunger faded and was replaced with the immense satisfaction of having eaten a full meal. The released endorphins calmed her nerves and she slouched into the soft armchair waiting for her appointment.

"Miss Thorne?" The receptionist Elizabeth called out. "They're ready to see you now. Do you know the way?"

"Yes. Hopefully this is the last interview. Been three already, haha."

"Good luck."

Maia walked passed the bronze Charles Darwin and down the hall leading to the Department of Data Aggregation and Storage. In the elevator she ran her hands down her her slender waist straightening her jacket and buttoned dress shirt. Her hands ran down her wide soft hips fixing the wrinkles in her skirt. She pushed her hands through her freshly dyed teal and green hair, taming its waves back into the proper order.

"Hugo Lipman. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Please have a seat." he gave Maia a sturdy handshake.

Hugo's office overlooked the main atrium where she had been waiting before. From this angle the statues looked to be wandering through a field of grass and stone. His furniture was exceptionally modern: Glass surfaces with minimalistic anodized titanium supports. An array of light catching awards lined the shelf behind him. Maia sat herself down with grace and crossed one leg over the other.

"This interview is mostly a formality. I can't stand hiring for important positions without at least meeting the candidates for myself. I'm looking for mostly personality and motivations. To make sure you will fit well here."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you too. I can't tell you how thrilled i am to interview for the position."

"Indeed. The records show that your last interviews went splendidly. You're an extremely qualified candidate. An associates in nursing. A Bachelors in Computer Science. A masters in machine learning with a focus on medical applications? On top of that: 4 years of experience in one of our research labs? It's an odd path, but one that makes you well suited for the position. I only ask: Why that path?"

"The human body is fascinating. Even with all the research being done, we still have so much to learn. I went into nursing to learn more and maybe work towards a higher medical degree. It wasn't a good fit. Nursing was more about... Let's say the practical aspects of medicine. I was more interested in understanding than doing."

"And so you went into CS? An odd choice."

"That was originally for the money. It's a tech oriented world. I worked as a nurse while studying CS. So really I was doing both. Then when I started my masters, it was obvious to work on something that incorporated both of my experiences."

The interviews went on for an hour at a friendly pace without a single hesitation or awkward pause.

Hugo stood and outstretched his hand. "Let me congratulate you and offer you the position. Welcome aboard! You'll have some paperwork to fill out of course, but you're officially hired!

Maia Shut her door and jumped into the air cheering. She kicked off her heels and texted her friends and family the news. Soon her social media was filled with pings of congratulation. Celebration was due. She silenced her phone and went to the kitchen. The water dispenser on her refrigerator sputtered, then let out a constant stream into a well used gallon jug. Eagerness filled her as she tossed her dress jacket over a chair. She opened her implant's app once again and reduced the modified satisfaction setting to 0%, resetting her to baseline. Slowly the tingle and rage of empty hunger returned. Her stomach growled and groaned demanding filling.

With a full jug of water and her laptop and plopped into her recliner. Her stomach growled and twisted angrily. In a minute! Hold on! She opened a browser and sorted through her bookmarks. With an impatient eagerness she visited a favorite content producer of hers. A moth prior she found a favorite video of her favorite 'model'. 10/10/2020 - Second Saturday Stuffing Competition hosting at Marco's Bar and Grill. She gulped down a salt pill to preemptively prepare her body for the torrent of water.

She hit play and fast forwarded to the start of the competition. With the video set to 2x speed she watch from the corner of her eyes as she opened her throat, tilted her head back and poured the gallon of water into her stomach. Her slender waist expanded with the volume of water and pressed against her tailored button up shirt. She took a break to watch Kelri down milkshakes on the screen. She patted her button straining belly and resumed drowning her stomach. Her belly pressed further out and strained her shirt. Her whole body shook with arousal as she grew. Just before the shirt threatened to burst she unbuttoned it. It was a nice shirt after all. The jug was empty but now her stomach wasn't. She pulled the laptop close to rest her belly on the warmth of it. With one hand she sloshed her shirt breaking belly while watching Kelri's digital form. She slowed the video down to normal feed after Kelri finished humiliating Adria with 4 milkshakes more than her.

"Come on Kelri. Show off that gut."

Kelri stood with a wide smile and revealed her gluttonously expanded belly. Maia slowed the video to half speed to admire the shape and size of it.

"How the fuck did you get yourself so big!" She mused to herself in a haze of arousal. "Look at how big you are! You were flat stomached to start out..."

Adria patted Kelri's taut belly and whispered something unheard. Maia imagined herself with a stuffed pressed against Kelri's Bigger stuffed belly.

She pushed the laptop to the arm of the chair and unbuttoned her pants and slid one hand down while rubbing her distended stomach.
