Linda Madison headed for the closet and opened it, pulling out the clothes that she intended on wearing that day, which consisted of a extra-large black t-shirt, and a pair of extra-large pants. Both fit, but draped like a balloon around her slim body.

As she put on a pair of glasses, Gladys Brewer suddenly pulled the covers off of herself and got out of bed. And dressed in only her underwear, she walked mindlessly out of her room, in search of new clothes.
