Elevation

     Author: Stephen King

  There was a knock on Dr Bob Ellis's door. He was  retired doctor. Turns out, it was his friend Scott. He had a weird weight loss syndrome. Every day, he started to lose weight more and more. He looked like he weighed 240 pounds, but in reality, he had dropped to 210 pounds in a few weeks. When he took of his clothes and weighed himself, he also weighed the same.

      Dr Ellis was surprised at this s it was impossible for someone to weigh the same when they were naked and when they were dressed. Problems aside, there was now an annual race competition at their town. Normally, Scott coudn't run fast as he was 240 pounds, but when the race came, he had dropped to 160 pounds. Well, another weird thing was that Scott didn't feel symptoms. He could eat like a horse and felt like he was in the best moment of his life, and never felt like he had lost any weight.

  Surprisingly, Scott could finish running the whole 12km marathon. He definitely felt tired, but he was surprised that he could still complete it. Although he still does not know why he keeps losing weight, but he is sure to spend his last few months or days to live to the fullest of his life.
