Sass and the Chocolate Factory

Chapter 1

Sass adjusted her glasses, leaning in closer to the conveyor belt as it hummed along, carrying perfectly molded truffles through a series of mechanical arms that dipped, drizzled, and dusted them with precision. The air was thick with the rich scent of cocoa, sweet and intoxicating, like a warm hug for her senses. She could almost taste it. Her group had moved ahead, their chatter fading into the industrial din of the factory, but she didn't care. She was mesmerized.

"This is incredible," she muttered under her breath, her fingers twitching as if she wanted to reach out and touch the glossy chocolates as they passed by. The machine worked like a well coordinated group of living things--arms whirring, nozzles hissing, belts groaning under the weight of so much sweetness. It's like art, she thought, biting her lip as she watched another truffle get its final pump of dark chocolate.

Then, something caught her attention. A small nut, dropped from above her. Sass bent down to pick it up, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Huh," she murmured, rolling the little almond bit between her fingers. "Where'd you come from, little guy?"

She looked up to see a cascade of nuts falling on top of her, sweeping her off her feet. Two workers had their hands on their head in surprise for spilling over such a large crate.

Before she could react, she was tumbling forward, hands flailing for balance. She let out a sharp yelp as her hip hit the edge of the conveyor belt, and the next thing she knew, she was sprawled across it, face-up, staring at the ceiling. The belt beneath her vibrated with a steady rhythm, moving her along as if she were just another chocolate in the process.

"Oh no," she whispered, caught frozen with surprise. Before she could react there was large machinery looming above her.

A bronze nozzle connected to a thin green tube which led to a large vat lowered next to her. Sass froze, her breath catching in her throat. Is this...? No, it can't be. Her heart skipped a beat in her chest as she realized what was about to happen. "Wait, wait, wait--".

The machine wired to life, shoving the nozzle deep into her mouth. The nozzle hissed, and a thick stream of warm chocolate filled her mouth before pouring down her throat. She gasped, the warmth from the chocolate radiating down her throat and into her belly, making her skin tingle. "Sto-aww! Aww naw suppoaw to be heaw!" she mumbled with the nozzle jammed inside her, allowing only a small space for her to speak. The chocolate found its way deep inside her and began to fill her up. It didn't take long before Sass was feeling very full.

Soon the nozzle withdrew, leaving a very confused Sass lying on a conveyor belt, chocolate encircling her mouth. She looked around for her glasses but struggled under the weight of all the warm liquid chocolate that was just dumped inside her.

Suddenly, another hand swung into position, this one holding a cluster of nuts. Before she could protest, it descended, shoving a handful of tiny almonds into her open mouth. She gagged, choking slightly as the salty-sweet crunch filled her senses. "Mmph! Get off!" she managed while trying to spit them out, but the machine wasn't done. It pressed another handful of nuts into her mouth, then another, then another, forcing her to chew and swallow, her throat working around the intrusion. It pushed more and more into her, tiny little almonds riding down her throat. It was an uncomfortable process.

When it was finished Sass felt ready to pop. She placed a hand on her tight warm belly to assess the damage. Thick chocolate with tiny nuts pooled around, making her feel bloated and heavy. She could feel the tiny little spheres inside her stomach as they came into contact with her skin. She burped aloud following a bump in the conveyor belt.

At the next stop two arms zoomed around her holding cans of brown spray paint, dousing her in a thin layer. The powdery yet sticky brown paint covered her, making it difficult to see. Right after sneezing she noticed she was surrounded by more menacing machinery.

Thick large metallic plates zero'd in on her midsection until they pushed themselves together, as if to mold her belly. Sass let out a reactionary yelp. Obviously they were not content, because after her big belly did a little jiggle the belt stopped and one of the same arms from earlier appeared over her.

"This is insane!" she shouted, though her voice was soon muffled by the shoving of a nozzle even bigger than the one from before into her mouth.

This must be where they check the pressure of the chocolates to make sure they are correct before continuing down the assembly line she thought to herself as thick warm chocolate began to pump inside her once again.

The size and pressure of the nozzle wasn't the only thing different from the first chocolate machine; mechanical arms held her arms and legs down, as if they expected some part of the "chocolate" to oppose this treatment.

As chocolate was being pumped down her throat Sass watched in terror as another hand containing a syringe and a needle approached her from underneath her right side. She tried to shake but it was hopeless. The machine pricked her on her right butt cheek and she felt a pinch. It pricked her quickly and she wondered if it even injected anything.

Sass shuddered, the sensation sending an unexpected jolt through her. Why does this whole process feel... good? The chocolate kept moving down the pump. Pump...pump...pump. As the liquid pool grew inside her, her belly expanded out, filling with the thick goop. The plates had backed away slightly, touching but not pressing her gut. She felt her skin stretching as her belly expanded. The growth eventually lightly pressed on the plates. The pumping paused and the tube was removed. The thick plates pushed on her round, swollen gut testing it once again, causing a loud burp to erupt from Sass. Satisfied with the result the nozzle and plates retracted further and the conveyor belt started once again.

She was brought before a weighing machine which read "small crate". Sass paled. After the sudden weight increase the machinery thinks I'm an unfilled crate of chocolates! It's going to fill me with chocolates!
