Chapter 2 - Under its control

When he awoke in the morning Noah what about to start his normal routine in the gym but remembered that it was closed off and he had to call a technician. But when he clicked 'support' on his phone the call failed and a notification appeared ''this number is spam. It has been blocked''. Noah now realised to solve these issues he will have to go to the tech store later today, so missing the gym he continued to get ready for the day.

Walking into the dinning room he was shocked to see a large spread of breakfast foods. He asked the smart system why it made all this food and it replied ''our sensors detect you are malnourished and not eating enough. It is important you put on weight to live a healthy lifestyle.''

This was ridiculous, Noah though. He was never going to eat this junk. Turning to leave the shutters slammed down and a message appeared on the wall panel next to the door ''Do to your unhealthy weight the doors have been closed until the meal is completed. Having no other choice Noah begrudgingly ate the meal and once he had finished he was so tired he wend into the living room and collapsed onto the couch sleeping while his full stomach processed all the food he ate

A couple hours later Noah awoke and went streight to the front door. Turning the handle and pulling, it wouldn't budge, he tried and tried but it wouldn't open it was then thay he realised the message on the panel ''Danger to life outside, for your protection the outside has been sealed off.''

''Fuck!''

What could he do now. There was no way for him to get help. He was stuck with a smart home system that thought he was too thin. This was the begging of a downward spiral for Noah as a new schedual fell into place for him wake-up, eat, nap, eat, nap, eat, sleep and repeat. He went from having the whole world to just his house but that too was slowly shrinking, it of course started with the gym but that was then joined by spare bedrooms then the games room and the garage. After a couple months the only rooms he could use were his bedroom, the living room and the dining room. Noah didn't really realise these changes, he didn't use these rooms and he was preoccupied with his growing waist line, he tried to not eat the food but the house just forced it into him. It held him down with the robotic arms and forced it into his mouth. This was his new routine.
