Synopsis:
Chunk takes requests from all sorts of petitioners who want him to make things disappear. A deli owner wants him to make his refrigeration system vanish. Another woman wants Chunk to get rid of her brain tumor. Two scientists from the National Science Foundation wish to study the singularity which gives Chunk his power. Chunk sends one of them to an alternate universe, then brings him back. Unfortunately, he is unable to help the woman with the tumor, since he does not possess the needed control and making the tumor disappear would kill her instantly.
