Down on the Farm Villam sat down on hay bales and wiped the sweat from his brow. It was a tough day on the farm. The sun was blazing down at the chimera as he sat in his overalls now covered in sweat. Villam was a rather strange sight to a normal person. With the face of a dog, the tail of a rooster, and the legs of a cow. His brown fur was spotted with white spots and a white mane around his neck. All of this was currently baking under the blazing sun. He looked out on his small farm. He owned a couple of cows, pigs, and chickens who were walking around. While he was proud of what he had built so far, he couldn't help but feel it wasn't enough. He wished he was like his neighbors who owned tons of animals and had massive farms. Most importantly though, they were able to hire people to work for them so they didn't have to do everything around the place. Villam sighed and got up from the bale, picking it and bringing it over to his cows. He muttered out loud, “Wish everything I had was bigger already. I wanna break from this hard work.” Unknown to Villam, someone was listening to him. A head slowly floated out of the ground behind Villam. The being slowly glided out and hovered behind him. He looked around at the small farm and smiled. He already had a plan for this pet. Slowly he leaned in closer to Villam. He whispered, “You say you have a wish?” Villam immediately screamed and turned around. He had no idea who was talking or how they got this far out in the middle of nowhere. His yelling sent the chickens into a panic as they clucked underneath the figure who floated in the air. The figure was black all over. Two black eyes looked down at Villam, surrounded with red. Gray marking came out around his eyes, twisting into spirals and wavy lines that always seemed to move slightly. Two sets of black horns jutted out from his head. What caught Villam’s eye the most was the mouth on it’s belly smiling back at him. A thick tail swished behind the figure as he landed on the ground. He spoke in a deep voice to Villam. “Well I am the one to go to for wishes.” “Who are you?” Villam said, a small shake in his voice. “Oh dear, where are my manners.” The being answered. “I am Malchazhar, demon of gluttony. You can call me Mal for short though.” “Wait you’re a demon? Those don’t exist.” Villam tilted his head and looked at the obvious. Mal rolled his eyes at the chimera. “Certainly dealing with someone who is the salt of the earth here.” “Why I get the feeling you're insulting me there.” Villam crossed his arms and stared grumpily at Mal. Mal quickly smiled towards Villam. “Oh my friend certainly not. It’s only fair you don’t believe me. After all I did just randomly show up at your farm. Why don’t I prove it to you?” “Duh how would you prove it to me?” “You had a wish didn’t you? I can make it happen. If I can’t well you know I’m a liar then and you can chase me out of here.” Mal placed his hands on Villam’s shoulders and whispered into his ear. “What do you really have to lose?” Villam paused and thought for a moment. He had heard somewhere that demons were bad news to make deals with. At the same time though, he wasn’t asking for almighty powers. He just wanted a bigger farm and how could a demon mess that up? “The only thing I’m wonderin is what the catch is? What do you want from me from the deal?” “Well to be quite honest, you're not asking for massive power or anything. All I ask is to get a share of some of this farm when you become that bigshot around here. How does that sound? I do need something to keep my appetite satiated” Villam’s eyes lit up as he pictured himself the next big deal. Whatever share the demon wanted was worth it in exchange for the acres he would soon own. He held out his hand for the demon. “You got yourself a deal! I want everything here bigger than it was before. I’m gonna be the next big farm in these parts.” Mal smiled deeply, laughing inside at how easy of a con this was going to be to pull off. He shook the chimera’s hand and then snapped his fingers. At first nothing happened and Villam quickly became suspicious that this was all just a prank. Mal just held up a finger to him. “Patience my friend, magic on this scale can take a second.” Mal looked down at a chicken that walked by him and pointed to it. “Why don’t you keep an eye on them and you will see what I mean.” Villam looked at the chicken with both confusion and annoyance at the stranger who kept calling him their friend. The chicken just slowly walked around until suddenly a small plume of black smoke surrounded it. Just as soon as it came it disappeared and Villam gasped in shock. In its place was chicken black in plume and easily reaching up his knees. He looked around as he saw the same thing happening to all his other animals. Cows, sheep, and pigs were suddenly covered in smoke and replaced with a bigger version of themselves, each covered in black hair. Villam was more than a little shocked by the sudden change that took over his farm. He looked towards the demon and finally stammered out a response. “Son of a bitch you can do magic.” Mal rolled his eyes as he floated in front of the chimera. “Yes I can in fact, do magic. I have fulfilled my bargain to you. Each of your animals has been replaced with my demonic own. Now there is just one last thing to do.” Villam raised his eyebrow to him. "Uh I think you did everything here. I asked for everything to get bigger and you did." "Oh I almost have." Mal snapped his fingers in the air. "Now the last thing is you." Villam suddenly felt himself unable to move. His arms stuck to his side no matter what he did. Mal grinned again as he snaps his fingers again. A long trail of smoke appeared him, snaking around over his farm. As the smoke cleared, Villam could see each of Villam's original animals were assorted into a line. It went in size, starting at the small chickens with his cows and two horses at the very back. Villam saw the demon lower himself down to his level as he picked up one of the chickens. "Now then I have always been a fan of equal exchanges. You got a farm full of my demonic animals but what am I supposed to do with all your old ones then? Well I was thinking why not make you the biggest thing on the farm. After all you wanna be the big farmer and all." Villam stammered out a response to Mal. "How are you gonna do that? You can't possibly expect me to be able to eat a damn cow." "Oh my naive mortal, what makes you think that a demon with magic powers can’t make an entire farm of demon animals and not make you eat large meals? Now open wide let's get to stuffing." Villam tried to protest but his mouth was suddenly completely full. Mal had shoved one of the chickens into and was pushing it down into his mouth. He expected the chicken to fight back but it just let it happen to it. He was also surprised he wasn’t gagging on the meal but figured that was another work of Mal’s magic. He was forced to swallow as he took another breath. No sooner did he gasp in some air was another chicken stuffed into his mouth. This was how the cycle continued for some time. Chicken stuffed one after another into his gaping maw. Villam trying to resist but it was a futile attempt. Slowly his belly grew from each new occupant. His belly wasn’t the only thing to grow though. As his belly size grew so did his whole body though never as much as his distended gut. As the last chicken was stuffed into his maw, Villam now sat four feet bigger than he was before. His belly sagged to the ground and grumbled and jostled loudly with each movement he made. He panted as he was finally able to catch his breath. “Don’t get comfortable. You still got a lot more to eat here and I’m not stopping anytime soon.” Mal grinned as he lifted up a braying sheep and it shrunk slightly till it was about half it’s size. “We’ll use this as the beginner meal.” All Villam could give was a whimper before the sheep was shoved into his mouth. He kept growing with each sheep until they could fit in his mouth easily. His belly also grew as it spread out over the ground, fat rolls spreading out everywhere. Soon his belly size became too much and with a loud slam he landed on the ground, barely able to sit upright now. The sheep were soon gone and the pigs came next. By now though, Villam had accepted his situation. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying it. The massive gut of his sloshing around gave him enjoyment now. What Villam didn’t know was this was also Mal’s doing, the demon slowly corrupting him into his willing servant ready to eat everything in sight. Villam now grabbed for the levitating pig with a growing hunger. Despite his belly tearing his clothes to complete shreds and his fat legs completely covered in a mound of belly continually rising upwards. Now Villam moaned in pleasure hearing his belly distend with his new meal. Eyes swirling as he fell under the full sway of Mal’s control. If Villam could have he would have reached for his horses to stuff them down his maw. At this point though it was impossible for him to even move. He was the size of a small building with a belly that rose up into the sky like a hill on the horizon. He grunted as moaned as his lifted his chubby arms and rubbed him massive belly. Mal looked over his new quarry with delight and knew exactly what to do with his servant. It was another hot day on the farm. Not that the demon animals even noticed, fully content on feeding and growing. Mal floated around hay bales to all the various animals around the farm. He did however grab one of his cows and lead it to a new building on the farm. It was a massive barn with a high grain tower sitting on the side. Mal snapped his fingers and the door slid open with ease. Inside lay Villam, who filled the entirety of the barn. The chimera laid on his back in what seemed to be a stupor. A long pipe was in his mouth which led to the grain outside. He eagerly chomped down on the grain to help his gut swell more. His belly gurgled loud enough to rumble throughout the building. His belly was now covered in the mark of an open mouth in the likeness of Mal. It was the symbol of servitude, as his new passion was to eat and eat. Mal led the cow towards Villam who lazily took notice of him. The chimera opened his mouth, drooling in excitement at his meal. Villam didn’t think much anymore with only one thought on his mind. To be the biggest animal on the farm.
