As Corey's weight ballooned to 800 pounds, he became a prisoner of the sofa bed in the living room.  After his father's death, Corey and his mother lived off the insurance money for a while, but she eventually had to find a job to continue to support his enormous appetite.  As a `massage therapist' her clients came to the house and occasionally talked to Corey - not always a good thing.Mr. Columbus has such a unique writing style - his thoughts tumble out in almost a seemingly random order, but they fit together perfectly and build the story to the conclusion that you realize was inevitable.This is the second story I've read by Mr. Columbus, and while this one wasn't as graphic and violent, it still is compelling and fascinating.  A brilliant talent!
