SCI-FI Story: Fat Hollywood

Fancy Hollywood faces some trouble in society. There is an illness spreading, which makes people combine food strangely. This disease is not a sentence to death but all wannabe-actors are getting fat because they stopped watching their diet. Luckily, the illness hasn’t spread to other cities. But unfortunately, the government has no idea how to cure this strange new disease.
Martha, a middle-aged struggling dancer who lives Hollywood, is shocked by the news. When she switched on the news channel, she heard about this terrible disease. This made Martha reflect her beginnings as a dancer. Suddenly, she was sad again. After Martha regained her spirit, she was determined not only to stay away from the virus but also to find a cure to it. Martha knew exactly how it feels to be fat and not to fit in the seemingly perfect world of fancy Hollywood.
She knew what to do. When Martha needed money, she wanted to work in a restaurant as a dancer. Since she was too fat, she only got a job in the kitchen. Martha never believed that she ever will be thankful for this experience. Now was Martha’s time. She finally could prove everyone that she is important.
Having the cure in her mind, Martha headed to the city centre, a megaphone in her hand. She started to shout, “Guys, you don’t need to suffer anymore, I have the cure!” Martha also distributed flyers with an address on it. It was her own address.
The next day, lots of people gathered in front of her house to get the cure. She invited five people at a time, taught them to cook, how she learned it in that old shabby kitchen. Even though nobody thought that this would work, the people were cured.
Although Martha initially wanted to be a dancer, she found now her real profession. She opened a restaurant and is very successful. Hollywood, by the way, never faced such troubles again.
