Hopelessly Addicted Stage Two (Patreon)

A little less than a week in & a steady stream of pumpkin spice lattes has started to become evident on our subject Claire. The drinks’ high calories find their way to her natural fat stores at first, until she gradually, unwittingly begins to start rounding out from the middle. And while potentially drastic to those around her, Claire hardly seems phased.

Still nursing the beverages at a natural pace, the moment she starts to get low on one, the impulse hits & she almost mindlessly starts to gather her coat & run out for another. She repeats this throughout the day, office productivity be damned.

It is at this point that she might start to become a bit conflicted. On some level subconsciously, she may develop an inkling that she is not quite her usual self, be it through how much she’s spending on her twice-hourly coffees or the growing snugness of her wardrobe. But the urge of obtaining more pumpkin spice remains strong, slowly beginning to dominate her thoughts & keeping her from confronting those concerns. The compulsion to keep drinking & never stop starts to take hold.

Part two in the series. As I mentioned before, these were initially meant for Thanksgiving. That feels like the logical end of pumpkin season. But heck, even that might be a bit late. Either way, I am pretty happy with how this particular stage turned out. Attempted an outfit I probably never would’ve did if I didn’t get something similar from a very botched, but still intriguing AI image. And it seemed pretty hip. In fact, it informed her hair throughout the whole series as well.

Next one coming in a few hours.
