The Mold

You have been called upon to help save humanity from an evil force that threatens to topple society itself. Approximately thirty days ago in the small suburban community of Genericville a morbidly obese man named Fred Jones went on an eating binge and consumed all of the junk food he had stuffed in the pantries of his cramped third story apartment. Seeking to appease his voracious appetite he walked down the street to the local food and drug store in search of a cheap snack coated in grease and filled with sugary goodness. The owner of this store was a man by the name of Mustafa Kalimah. He despised American's for their greed and decadence for he grew up in poverty in a hamlet in east India. He had lived his life with just enough food to survive and now daily he saw greedy fat lazy Americans come into his store and eat tenfold what they need to sustain themselves. For this reason he despised Fred Jones most of all, because Fred Jones was the fattest man in Genericville weighing in at a whopping four hundred and thirteen pounds. Every day Fred entered his shop to purchase hostess treats and hot dogs and potato chips and full gallons of ice cream. On this day Mustafa decided that he would punish Fred for his gluttony so he placed a curse on a three weak old donut he found laying under the counter. It is unclear how Mustafa exactly managed to conjure up this dark magic but when Fred ordered two dozen Crispy Crème donuts Mustafa slipped this dark donut into the bag. Fred then returned home shoving donuts down his throat as he walked. By the time Fred returned home the only donut that remained in the bag was the cursed donut. Fred reached his pudgy fingers into the bag to grab the last donut but before he could reach it he experienced a horrible pain in his chest. Fred had suffered a massive heart attack and was found dead days later when his neighbors noticed a horrible stench.

The coroner arrived and with the help of several strong men carted Fred's bloated carcass to the local morgue but the donut remained on the floor. Weeks passed and Fred's family never bothered to come by to pick up his belongings. Fred did not have many friends either so there was no one to take care of his apartment. There the donut lay on the floor for almost a month growing more and more mold. At some point a few days ago the mold grew so large it became animated and left the apartment. Ever since it has been terrorizing the town and consuming entire human beings. The mold has acquired an intellect that has allowed it to evade local law enforcement officials for some time. This is where you come in. I am going to send you to earth to possess a body of one of the local townspeople of Genericville so that you may find this mold and stop it. The problem is our technology is outdated so we can't exactly control who you will possess, so hopefully you get a strong young man and not a stoic geriatric patient. I suppose that concludes the briefing, are you ready to take part in this quest for the betterment of humanity?
