Unfortunate Solution

I loved my sister Blair very much, but she had an addiction that I could no longer bear. It was very strange that a person with such a deep need could have such an uncontrolled metabolism. It was as if in her stomach there was a vacuum for only one type of food; in this case, chocolate.

It all started when Blair began a baking course a year ago. She was delighted because what she liked most was preparing desserts. Although in this course she was taught several techniques and skills, only chocolate was the main ingredient.

Brownies, cookies, cakes, drinks, creamy toppings, everything was made of chocolate. My sister at the end of each recipe, kept a big slice for herself and didn't leave me even a little bit. After finishing the course, she started making all kinds of desserts and drinks with chocolate; she even made a recipe with cocoa butter.

I was preparing three meals a day all with chocolate: in sandwiches, in casseroles, in stews, dressings; I got to a point where I was already disgusted with chocolate.

Blair's addiction grew and grew to a degree that I couldn't stop eating. Her mouth and fingers were always smeared with chocolate, and he even weighed up to a hundred kilos from all the cocoa fat. I became concerned about his health both physically and mentally, so I decided to do something about it.

My specialty is chemistry, I have my laboratory at Saint Jain University. My experiments are based on the genetic modification of living beings through solutions prepared with different chemical elements, however, I decided to change my project to help my sister.

I worked day and night in the private laboratory I had in the basement of my house. My goal was to elaborate on an immediate chemical solution that could change Blair's disordered metabolism. Between so many trials and experiments, I could not reach a concrete goal. I thought about throwing in the towel, until, miraculously, one of the rodents in my lab began to react well to one of my chemical solutions.

Its taste for cheese gradually diminished, until one day it stopped eating it, looking at it with revulsion. I rubbed my eyes and pinched my hands to corroborate that I was not dreaming. I jumped for joy and gave the little mouse a gentle hug.

I was ready to test my invention on my sister but I had to be smart; for she would never test something created in my lab. Stealthily, I crept into the kitchen in a crouch and started making some chocolate chip cookies. I mixed the dough with my formula and once they were ready I popped them in the oven.

My sister slipped through the door almost levitating at the smell, then gave me a tender, soft hug from behind.

"What are you doing, little brother?" she asked me with hamster eyes.

"Oh... it's your favorite dessert, chocolate chip cookies. I made them from the recipe you gave me, I hope you like them."

My sister sat at the table impatiently as she ate a chocolate bar. The minutes passed very slowly for me, I just prayed that things would give the desired result.

When the cookies were ready, I took them out of the oven and set them to cool, but my sister took one with alacrity without caring that it was very hot and devoured it like a hungry wolf. I gawked at her with wide eyes as if I were in the presence of a monster.

"These are delicious!" She said before grabbing another one and devouring it in one sitting. She ate all the cookies on the tray, not even leaving the crumbs behind. After she was done, she rubbed her belly and sighed.

"Thank you, little brother, you know how to follow a recipe very well," After fawning over me she walked out the kitchen door. I was stunned, now all I had to do was wait.

Days passed and I began to notice a decrease in the smell of chocolate. The kitchen was spotless; free of smeared cocoa butter or brownie crumbs on the counter. I began to notice that my chemical solution was taking effect. With a smile on my face, I decided to head downstairs to my private lab to finish some tests.

Checking my test rodents, I noticed that one was not in its cage; instead, I found a piece of cheese shaped like a mouse. "It can't be!" I vociferated with wild eyes. "Could it be possible that...?"

I bolted out of my lab and looked everywhere for Blair. I rushed to her room like lightning and, upon opening the door, found a huge human sculpture made of chocolate.
