One cool, autumn day

in July, in the small

town of Deborah,

Alabama, Peter and

Julia were heading to

the town lake.

Their mom had made

them a lunch so they

could spend the

afternoon there. Ham

and cheese for Julia,

and a BLT for Peter. At

around 10:00am they

headed off to the lake.

On their way to the

lake they had to go

through the forest, up

the hill and over the

bridge. Once they got

there, Julia went to find

bizarre rocks and Peter

built a sand castle.

When Peter was

making the castle he

got a smack load of

sand inhaled. After a

while, they decided to

eat their lunch.

Peter’s sandwich

vanished in a matter of

seconds.

Swoooooooosh, Peter

heard a weird noise it

sounded like it came

from his stomach. Peter

decided to skip rocks

while Julia went looking

for more rocks.

He took a deep breath,

then he threw with all

his might, but the third

stone came skipping

back, it smacked him

on the forehead.

Peter didn’t feel too

good so they went

home. It turned out

that Peter had a

concussion, so he didn’t

go to school for a week.

Peter told his mom that

his stomach was feeling

flummoxed.

After that, Peter’s mom

took him in to the

doctor`s to see if

anything was wrong

with him. The doctors

did surgery on Peter

and they found that

Peter was no ordinary

boy.

He had a vacuum in his

stomach and he

became a sucking

machine as soon as he

opened his mouth.

It’s a disease called

Porteraphobia. It’s

where the stomach

creates a sucking thing

and it acts like a

vacuum. There is no

cure.
