Bad day for Shopping
By Branford
Steve walked through the discount store, his eyes eagerly
searching for a bench to sit down on. From behind him,
someone tugged his shoulder. Steve turned.
"Just wait, all right? I'll only be a few minutes" It was
Sandra, his girl of seven months.
"Stay with me, c'mon I need help picking out shoes"
Steve turned to the bench, then back to Sandra.
"Listen, I'm beat. I'll be right over there. Hold them up
when you find them and I'll be able to see it from over
there, okay?"
Sandra's look of anticipation turned sour.
"Fine, I'll shop by myself. Don't bother waiting at all.
I'll be fine"
Sandra turned and started in the opposite direction, leaving
a slightly puzzled Steve standing at the store entrance.
After a moment she disappeared into the crowd. Steve sighed
and began towards a distant bench, which at the moment was
empty. He quickened his pace.
A girl dressed in black sat down in the bench before Steve
could make it. He sighed again, hoping to have had the bench
to himself.
Steve sat down beside the girl. She was no more than 22
years old. Steve found it strange that she would be wearing
black (and so much of it) on a summer day like this one.
After a moment the girl stood and looked at Steve. Steve
looked at her expectantly. Did he know her? He didn't think
so.
"Sorry, she said. I thought I knew you"
Steve leaned forward, his elbows sliding onto his knees.
"Don't think so"
The girl looked around the mall for a moment.
"A lot of big people around, huh?"
Steve stared at the girl. What was she talking about?
"Sorry?"
"A lot of big people. Look at them, so many of them are
overweight, don't you think?"
"I suppose", Steve said.
"Too much fast food"
Steve nodded, trying to be polite. The girl was attractive,
yes, but Sandra could barrel through the racks of clothing
at any moment. That wouldn't be good.
"Well...bye", she said.
The girl strolled away. Steve watched her, completely
confused at what had just happened.
He leaned back and mulled her over in his head, all the
while aware that he had at least twenty minutes until Sandra
would be finished.
"My ass is going to be mush from sittin' here", he muttered
to no one in particular.
Steve looked around at the various shops; shoppers of one
kind of another populated almost all of them.
His eyes stopped outside the entrance of a bookstore when he
saw that the girl in black hadn't truly left, but watching
him from a distance. Steve turned behind himself, convinced
that she was looking beyond him to someone else entirely.
The girl continued to watch him, her expression remaining
neutral - no smile, no frown, just - staring straight ahead
like she was watching paint dry.
"Steve!"
Steve turned. It was Sandra's voice. From beyond the racks
of clothing, he saw her head protrude then her arms raise
into the air, holding a pair of leather sandals. She looked
at him expectantly.
Steve nodded, barely noticing the shoes, mouthing the words
"they're great!"
Sandra's head quickly disappeared once again. Steve
immediately turned back towards the young girl, but she had
vanished.
So had all the people as a matter of fact.
* * *
Why was he on the floor? Steve picked himself up, hoping
that no one had seen him fall. He didn't remember falling,
that was the thing. Did I just faint, he wondered. Once on
his feet, Steve immediately began to wobble. His knees
buckled and he fell down a second time.
Shortly after, he vomited.
He remained on all fours for a moment or two, breathing
deeply all the while trying to consider what was happening
to him. There was an undeniable wind that seemed to have
picked up and seemed to originate from different directions.
Steve looked upwards and immediately felt nauseous again.
His spell of sickness could only mask his confusion at what
he had seen. The bench from where he had fallen had risen
into the air and now towered above him.
Loud thumping sounds clapped on the floor, reverberating the
ground beneath him - actually shaking it. This finally, was
enough to get Steve onto his feet. With his shirt stained
with vomit, he slid in one direction then the other, trying
desperately to get his bearings.
Then - Sandra's voice.
"Steven?"
The sound grew closer. Steve shrank backwards, assaulted by
the new dimension of sound, air and space. Another breeze of
air blew towards him as he staggered to take in all before
him.
The realization hadn't donned on him of course. He had
looked up at the sound of the noise...he just hadn't looked
high enough.
Huge, sandal-wearing feet were approaching where he stood.
Sandra's voice called out a second time, this time with a
noticeable lack of patience.
"Steven!"
Steve fell on his ass and slid backwards to avoid her right
foot that landed solidly on the ground and then proceeded to
slide forwards toward him, positioning him within several
meters (or centimeters, depending on perspective) of her
gargantuan toes. He saw things from his new perspective and
noticed them to be completely different than how he
remembered. This couldn't be Sandra. Her feet and legs had
been smooth and free of blemish, whereas the giant
abomination that presently eclipsed his sight from all else,
had dried, coarse skin, nothing like how he remembered
Sandra.
Steve froze and craned his neck upwards. Sandra stood before
him, more than seventy or eighty feet high by the looks of
it. Her huge shopping bag dangled from her fingers, swaying
one direction then the other. Her feet spread apart in
distance as she assumed a moderately less patient pose,
folding her long arms across her chest, the shopping bag
disappearing high into the air.It was then that Steve saw
her. It was the girl from earlier. She was motioning towards
Steve from nearby. She was reaching towards him with an open
hand; a shopping bag rested in her other.
Her expression wasn't like the first time he had seen her.
That blank expression was now full of life. Her eyes were
wide open and betrayed an element of excitement as she drew
closer to him.
"Steve, I'm not waiting for ever", Sandra's voice boomed
from above.
Steve found himself drawing closer to the one thing he knew,
even if it was presently out of reach. He grasped the edge
of Sandra's sandal and tried his best to maintain a grip.
As the young girl's enormous shadow loomed closer, Steve
hugged Sandra's foot even tighter.
It was then that she began to move, to shift her weight. At
first the giant foot dragged him along with it, sliding his
body belly down across the floor. He couldn't hold on for
long though and it wasn't more than a second or two that he
lost his grip and lay prone on the tiled, cold floor.
Sandra's left foot soon followed. It lifted above the
diminutive Steve, but he lay still, confident that the foot
would land beside him.
Steve misjudged.
Sandra's foot came down over him, and as it did, in the
microseconds that he had left to live, he wondered what it
was that had happened and whether he was the first. Sandra's
foot sank on top of Steve, pulverizing his body, as she
moved away from the bench in a huff, checking her watch as
she walked away, stride after giant stride.
The giant girl stared downwards at the small bloody pulp,
her once alive eyes now vacant and lifeless in appearance.
* * *
Across from the bench and down at the rim of a mall garbage
container stood nine equally small people. They had watched
what had happened to the small, unfortunate man and inside
each of them, felt an enormous amount of pity and fear.
As each of them pondered their next move in this world of
giants, no one seemed to muster the courage to ask the
inevitable: would they be next?
We see shoppers, dozens of them at every moment, crossing
through the mall, stopping to talk, pausing to tie their
shoes, laughing, eating while they saunter here and there,
examining the goods they have purchased.
Closer...
We see the floor of the mall. From afar it looks clean,
shiny and well managed. From this perspective however, we
see the remnants of an overly hurried public; the occasional
French fry, the extinguished cigarette and the discarded
empty pack of matches that didn't quite make it to the
garbage can.
Closer still...
A group of people huddle close to one another. Some of them
are shaking. Others remain still, staring downward at the
oversized checker board pattern of the floor. This group is
much smaller than the shoppers who lurk overhead, much
smaller than much of the garbage casually tossed aside. The
entire group of them as a matter of fact, could be stored in
a shoebox if it really came down to it...
One of them, a red-haired man, yells to the group, flailing
his arms about dramatically.
"He sure as hell was. He was standing pretty well right
beside mefive minutes ago"
Another man, still staring downward, raises his voice to be
heard.
"I saw him shuffle off"
The red head man looks exasperated.
"Shuffle off? How did he do that? Where was he going?"
"I'm not sure, but h-he started to wander, I assumed that he
knew what he was doing"
The red-haired man moves towards him and grabs his
shoulders.
"Listen to me what ever your name is. No one leaves this
spot. As soon as you do, you're opening yourself up to get
caught or hurt. Just stay here and together - we'll figure
things out"
A woman spoke out, like the previous man, not daring to look
up from the floor.
"So does that mean he's gone, just like that? What happened
to him?"
No one answers her.
* * *
Russell (the man in question) knew he shouldn't have
wandered.
It seemed like only a few feet at the time. What he quickly
realized, was that other than the sound (that seemed to come
from every direction), that you couldn't tell when one of
the giants was upon you. It all happened too fast.
Now it was too late.
He had sensed a presence standing over him and in what
seemed a microsecond later, he was pinched between two
impossibly huge fingers and was being hoisted high into the
air. Things got dizzy for him as he was pulled into the
empty space above him, so much so that his eyes felt like
they were going to roll completely back into his skull.
After the movement slowed, he focused his eyes on something
that sent shudders down his spine.
* * *
"Where did you get loose from?" the young lady asked,
smiling in astonishment. "From the pet store?"
The man lay face up in her open palm, trying (she imagined)
to focus on who she was. After a long moment of stillness,
with him just lying there, staring at the giant girl, he
began to panic, frantically squirming, almost as if it had
just dawned on him what was happening.
The girl's fingers instinctively closed around the man and
she found herself laughing at how easily she could imprison
him, preventing any hope of escape.
"Oh c'mon, you don't really want to go, do you?"
He continued to struggle, banging and slamming his arms into
her fingers. This time she laughed harder before quickly
looking around, hoping that no one had seen or noticed. That
was just it, no one had. Everyone was too absorbed in their
own little world to care about what she was doing or what
she was laughing about.
Traci, a nineteen-year-old employee of the mall, dangled the
man from her hand, staring at him incredulously. She had
seen a lot in her brief lifetime, but nothing like this. It
never for a moment occurred to her that this was in fact,
one of the first times anything like this had ever happened.
She set the man onto the lap of her jeans, where he landed
flat on his stomach, trying to hold on to her gargantuan
leg.
Traci leaned forward, speaking to the man in a voice
typically reserved for a two-year old baby. She grinned
maniacally.
"Are you going to come and keep me company at work today?"
Traci stood, causing the man to slide forward into her huge
soft, fleshy hand. After a moment, she made her way back
into the store.
What would she do with him? She didn't really like anyone
else in the store
enough to share him. Would he stay put or try to escape. He
seemed so helpless.
* * *
As Traci walked into the store, she was watched carefully by
the girl in black.
* * *
Traci walked into the store and greeted Tina, another
employee, who looked at her curiously.
"Whatcha' got there?"
Traci walked back behind the till and put her belongings on
a shelf underneath.
"Nothing. Don't touch my stuff, okay?"
Russell stood on a shelf underneath the cash register that
faced away from the customers in the store. After he had
first been set there and had been allowed to catch his
breath, he marveled at the open space and at the thought of
an escape. What he soon realized, was that although he could
see many openings, that few of them, if any, were feasible
to employ without getting hurt from the deep drop to the
floor.
The giant girl's purse was beside him, along with numerous
other items from the staff at the store; nail polish, staple
gun, paper clips etc. After investigating as thoroughly as
he could (given his small state), he stood at the ledge and
once again peered downwards.
Traci's huge pelvis would move to stand behind the register
now and again, eclipsing his view as she rang in a sale. Her
size was beyond his comprehension. Even if he did make the
drop downward, he could be crushed by her monstrous shoes
without her even noticing.
All he could do was wait for what his captor had next in
mind.
* * *
Julie ripped at her business suit and continued to try
freeing herself from her current predicament.
It had been over two hours now since she had been discovered
by the young couple, both of who were merciless In their
torment, destroying several others before leaving her where
she now found herself - stuck on the floor within a huge
sticky glob of pink gum. The teenage boy was interested at
first, but soon found the girls' torture boring. The girl
however, was clearly excited by their torment and vowed to
return, delighted that she could so easily imprison someone
with a piece of bubble gum. Julie doubted very much whether
either of them knew what they were doing.
* * *
Lindsey pulled Chuck up the isle of the movie theatre.
"Let's go, it's over"
Chuck followed behind her, prying from her grasp.
"I gotta go, you know? I told you"
Lindsey turned.
"No you don't. You have to help me look for more of them!"
Chuck smiled.
"You're a mean girl, you know that? What did those stupid
little things ever do to you?"
Lindsey grinned back at him.
"I'm not mean, they're probably not even real. I'm just
having a bit of fun, c'mon!"
Chuck stopped all together.
"Seriously, I gotta go. You have fun. I'll call you later,
all right?"
Chuck walked back down the isle and exited via the door next
to the screen.
Lindsey didn't even wait until he had gone before turning
and hurriedly walking out the opposite direction, a devilish
grin on her face.
* * *
Julie had given up. Both of her arms felt like rubber from
her exertion. No longer could she pull at freeing herself.
She sat, defeated, leaning towards the blob, not noticing
that as her hair made contact that it too became snarled in
the gums sticky hold. Julie struggled not to panic, knowing
that doing so would encase her even deeper than before.
After a brief moment, her peripheral noticed something
moving closer-something large. Julie turned her shoulder
into the soft gum, struggling to see what it was that might
have discovered her. Perhaps someone that would take
sympathy with her plight.
A shudder of horror ran up and down her spine when she saw
the giant Lindsey walking towards her. For a moment, she
forgot her current situation and once again began to
struggle to no avail. Lindsey grew closer and then squatted
down next to her, positioning Julie between her huge leather
shoes. Julie struggled to look up at the giant girl and it
was at this moment when it occurred to her that she had
never seen someone look so happy.
* * *
It had been more than an hour since Traci had checked up on
her tiny friend. Knowing that he was there waiting her
return had made her boring shift all the more pleasant.
"I'm going on my break", she shouted to another employee,
see you in twenty".
Traci bent down behind the register and grabbed her purse,
careful that none of the other employees were watching.
After not seeing the man where she had left him, she began
to panic; pulling things out from the shelf and letting them
fall onto the floor.
"Hey, some of that's my stuff"
Barb, another employee walked up beside Traci, then bent
down next to her.
"Whadda you looking for?"
Traci stood up and headed back out into the store.
"Nothing, never mind"
She stopped for a moment and thought. How far could he have
gotten?
A hand fell on her shoulder.
"Miss? I'm going to need your help finding this in blue"
Traci turned around, miffed that she was being interrupted
while on her break.
"Yeah, I can help you, what did you say that -"
Traci saw the man on the floor. He was out in the open and
wasn't too far from the feet of the customer.
"I mean-how do those fit?"
The woman looked down at the pants she was wearing; not
noticing the pint sized man who scurried behind the heel of
her panty-hosed foot.
"Oh, they fit fine, I'd just like to see them in blue - or
maybe green?"
Traci knelt at the feet of the woman and tugged gently at
the fabric.
"You know, I think these are too loose"
The woman stared down at her.
"You think so?"
Traci spied the diminutive Russell behind the woman's
massive foot, then looked up into her eyes, lowering her
voice.
"Yeah, I do. You've got a great body, you should wear
something tighter"
The woman smiled down at her.
"Okay, I'll trust you. Do you have any other colors though?"
Traci nodded, still on the floor.
The woman turned her head towards the change room and began
to spin her shoulders away from Traci.
Traci grabbed at the small man, but missed.
"Can you bring a smaller pair over to the change room? I'll
undress and wait for you"
The woman's left foot knocked Russell forward, breaking most
of his ribs, sending him rolling ahead on the rough carpet.
Russell came to a stop, but only long enough to inhale as
the woman's panty-hosed foot descended towards him. In a
moment it was over. The woman crushed his body flat and
proceeded onwards towards the change room. Once she reached
it, she turned and looked back to Traci who was still on her
knees a distance away.
"Can you get me the pants now, I'm kind of in a hurry"
The woman opened the change room and stepped inside, unaware
of the pulp still partially stuck to the bottom of her foot.
Eleanor couldn't make up her mind either way. Square on, the
pants looked fine, but if she turned around; her ass didn't
look as good as she thought it should. She sighed loudly and
put her hands to her hips.
From outside of the change room, a voice called to her.
"How do they fit?"
Eleanor craned her neck over the rim of the change room. It
wasn't the girl from before, but help from anywhere was what
she needed right now.
"They're all right, I suppose," she said opening the door
and turning around, "do you think they should come in at the
butt?"
The attendant nodded.
"We could do that here and still have them ready for you
tomorrow"
Eleanor nodded. "That'll be fine"
The attendant approached her and whispered.
"Ma'am, while you were in there, did you hear anything from
the stall next to yours?"
Eleanor wrinkled up her face.
"No, should I have? Why, what's the matter?"
"Nothing really, it's just that she's been in there over
twenty minutes now and she's got the door locked from the
inside"
Eleanor turned. This wasn't her problem.
"That's your department, I'm afraid. What time tomorrow for
the pants?"
The sales attendant looked at the wealthy lady solemnly.
"Anytime after eleven"
Eleanor shut the door to the change room and sighed a second
time, exasperated. Once her ex-husband's divorce settlement
came in, she could afford tailors to come to her house and
avoid the malls all together. For now, she'd have to settle
for her $400,000 a year.
Eleanor stepped out of the pants and promptly noticed
something small wiggling around in the stall next to hers.
Never one to be afraid of mice or bugs, she lowered her head
to get a better view.
What she saw took breath away.
An impossibly small, sobbing woman was crouched against the
back wall of the changing room. After she stared for a
moment, Eleanor's first reaction was to stand and
immediately look around, as if this was a joke being played
on her and her alone. Seeing nothing, she stooped a second
time and stared, wide mouthed at the diminutive woman.
"Wh-what happened to you?"
The woman was so petrified that she didn't see Eleanor at
first, but instead looked upwards for the sound of her
voice. Eventually she looked over to see Eleanor's huge face
peering beneath the stall at her, hungry with curiosity.
"How did you - how did this happen?"
The woman started inching herself away from Eleanor's
enormous face. Eleanor continued to watch her, her face now
looking concerned.
"Can I help you in anyway?"
A voice was heard from overhead. It was one of the sales
girls.
"Ma'am, you're going to have to come out, I'm afraid. There
are other customers waiting to use this room"
Eleanor looked up at the shrunken woman's stall and saw that
the door was being jostled lightly.
Eleanor turned back to the shrunken woman, watching for her
reaction. There wasn't one really. She was completely
confused at what was happening.
Just then a calm came over Eleanor's face as if she just
thought of an idea. She didn't move or blink for about ten
seconds.
Then-she slowly opened her free hand and reached under the
stall. The small woman screamed a tiny scream but was
quickly overtaken by Eleanor's size and quickly enclosed
within her giant hand.
"I'm going to take you somewhere else"
* * *
A small group had gathered next to an overhead water
fountain. Because of their size, many of them were beginning
to lose their fear of being spotted. After all, they were so
small that you'd have to be looking for them to actually
notice anything.
An angry man was shouting to his three counterparts and
gesturing towards the movie theatre.
"I'm positive it was her. She was the last thing I remember
seeing when this happened to me "She was tall. She was
wearing a black skirt"
Others nodded in agreement. The group stood still for a
moment until the man decided to raise his voice again.
"We should find her", another chimed in.
The angry man who had been shouting, pointed into the
distance.
"See where that one is," he hyped, pointing to one of the
giant figures who stood relatively nearby, "she was sitting
at one of the tables over there!"
Another man stepped forward, still looking at the giant
closest to them. He was about to add his two-cents but then
stopped in his tracks, pointing his finger into the
distance.
"Wait a second. That girl, that girl --- I think she found
one of us -"
The girl in question looked to be in her late teens. She was
bending down and tugging at something on the floor.
The entire group was frozen in fear. None of them wanted to
watch, but they couldn't take their eyes from it either.
Eventually the giant girl in question raised her hands to
her face and grinned.
"It's not one of us, it's a piece of gum! She stopped to
pick up a piece of gum she dropped"
A sigh of relief moved through the group, none of them
stopping to ask themselves why a girl would stop to pick up
a piece of gum.
* * *
Julie was in the agonizing position of having elastic pieces
of sticky chewing gum roughly pulled off her body while
lying in the open hands of a ninety-foot teenager.
Lindsey stared down at the tiny one in her hands and grinned
wickedly at her. So many thoughts were running through her
head. It was three o'clock now, which meant somewhere
between nine and ten hours to play with this pathetic bug
before killing and going to bed.
"Lindsey!"
Lindsey dropped her hands and donned a guilty expression on
her face.
It was Marcus, a friend from school.
"What's goin' on?"
Lindsey sat on the bench but continued to hold Julie in her
hand.
"Nothin', you?"
Marcus flopped himself down beside her. Lindsey sighed
heavily, wanting him to go away.
"Ditto"
He looked over at her.
"Whaddya go there?"
"Nothing"
He leaned forward and touched her knee.
"Lemme see, please?"
Lindsey unconsciously lowered her hand by her side and
allowed the tiny Julie to fall to the floor.
"Please?" he said again.
Lindsey thrust her open, empty hand in Marcus' face.
"See! Nothing! Satisfied?"
Lindsey folded her arms, angry that Marcus, who still had
his hand on her leg, wouldn't take the hint.
"So, wanna do somethin' tonight?"
"No actually, please leave so that I can -"
Lindsey casually looked to the floor where the tiny woman
should have landed, but found nothing.
* * *
Eleanor stepped inside the house and deactivated the
security system. It was almost three o'clock. She should be
home by now.
"Alex?"
No answer.
Eleanor walked through the room and gently took off her
jacket before laying it carefully on the table.
After taking off her shoes, she picked up the jacket again
and slowly inserted her hand inside one of the pockets.
"I'm home, come down, okay?"
Eleanor twisted her face as she slowly withdrew her hand
from her pocket, her fingers carefully supporting the small
woman. Eleanor looked at her closely, inspecting her, almost
as if she still didn't believe what she had found.
"Are you home?"
Her loud voice startled the figure in her hands. Eleanor
turned and walked through a section of the enormous house.
Her daughter evidently wasn't yet home.
While she proceeded further through the ever-continuing
house, an idea came to her.
Eleanor smiled to herself and for a moment forgot about the
prisoner in her hand.
Her idea involved a box...
wrapping paper...
scotch tape...
...and a ribbon of some sort.
* * *
Bill was wondering about a few things. Sure he was scared.
Sure he hadn't eaten anything even remotely nutritious in
over ten hours, sure he was weak as a termite, but still,
were his eyes deceiving him?
When it first happened, it was an hour before he saw anyone
else like him. After that, another hour went by before
spotting someone else. Together with the husband and wife
that he was currently traveling with, it had been a rare
moment that they spotted anyone else their own size.
Yet, as the mall traffic began to die down, signaling the
end of another day, he couldn't help noticing that he was
seeing more and more of his own kind every few minutes.
Judging by the fear in their eyes (he didn't always stop to
chat - it was, after all, every man for himself), he'd guess
that some of them had just been shrunk and were still in the
"I can't believe this has happened" stage.
Could it be happening more often?
"What do you two think?"
The couple turned to Bill, who stared at a young man in the
middle of the mall, frantically running one way and the
other, trying to avoid getting squashed by the constantly
moving public.
"I agree", the woman said. Since 3:15, I've seen more than
the last two hours alone.
Her husband nodded agreeably. "She's right. Not too many
smart ones either".
Across from the threesome, and some three hundred yards
away, the young man they had been watching was run over by a
shopping cart. His body twitched for a while and then was
still.
The woman turned away, noticeably disturbed.
Bill turned away as well. Having seen it happen over and
over again, didn't make it any easier to watch.
"So what should we do?"
The married couple lowered their heads, the woman speaking
first.
"Hell if I know. The mall has gotta be closing soon, right?"
Bill nodded at the woman, then looked up into the air, where
a looming giant stood, unaware of their presence.
"I can't always even tell if they're man or woman, they're
so - big, you know?"
The couple nodded their heads and backed away to the safety
and shelter of the overhead bench.
* * *
Eleanor sat in the living room; her feet propped up on the
coffee table. In front of her feet and resting on a laced
doily, was a small gift box that was both impeccably wrapped
as well as being color coordinated with the rest of the
room.
Eleanor sighed and glanced at her watch.
"Stupid girl, she said, nudging the present with her foot,
doesn't deserve a present at all"
Eleanor rose to her feet and proceeded to another area of
the house, pouring herself a drink, then turning to head
back from where she came.
In the background, she heard the alarm system being turned
off and the closing of the front door.
"Alexandra?"
There was no answer. Eleanor sipped her scotch and cleared
her throat.
"Are you home or not?"
From behind her, came the voice of her daughter.
"Looking for me?"
Eleanor jumped at her voice and spun on her feet. Alex, a
tall girl, even for a nineteen-year-old, stood at the
archway to the living room. A girlfriend stood beside her.
"Don't sneak up on me like that?"
The girls moved into the room. Eleanor stood in front of the
present for a moment, not wanting her daughter to see it at
first.
"No friends today, okay honey? Let's just the two of us for
dinner, kay?"
Neither of the girls spoke, but looked to one another,
before starting to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing Mother. Sandra wasn't here for dinner, just to pick
up a tank top, don't be so anal, kay?"
The two girls left the room. Eleanor turned around to see
her daughter.
"When you're done with your friend, come in here, I want to
show you something! Alex? Did you hear what I said?"
Nothing.
* * *
This wasn't happening. This is some drug, some joke. This
definitely wasn't happening.
Seventeen year old Lindsey Welsh stood by the corner of the
wall sobbing to herself. She was afraid to lift her head
from what she had seen earlier.
It had to be a joke. It was almost poetic.
Cruel Lindsey who, only ten minutes ago, had squashed two
shrunken people she had found, and an hour earlier
imprisoned a woman in a piece of her own chewing gum, now
found herself roughly the same size as those who had met
their death under her enormous leather shoe.
What was worse-someone was calling her.
Someone was calling her name from what seemed a great
distance away. Given the events of the last day, the things
she had seen - THE THINGS SHE HAD DONE, she wasn't sure that
she even wanted to look!
Slowly, gradually she did, raising her face just an inch and
peering in the direction of the voice from between her
fingers.
It was a group of what looked about five people. They were
beckoning her. Lindsey continued to sob, but surprised
herself by getting up to her feet.
It was hard to make out the words they were yelling. She
could only pick out the odd phrases "be careful!, watch
yourself" etc.
Lindsey judged their distance to be about a quarter the
distance of a football field away from her. She could make
it over there if she wanted, but what if they recognized
her? What then?
She would have to chance it. Lindsey, unlike others, who had
found themselves at a greatly reduced size and mass, knew
immediately what had happened to her. There was no
confusion. After all, she had become what she had tormented
only minutes earlier.
Lindsey looked to her left and right, much like crossing a
busy street way, then headed towards the group.
* * *
"Okay, what's the big deal, huh?"
Alex had walked into the room and plopped herself onto one
of the leather couches, stretching her long legs over the
edge and searching for the remote control.
"Come here please"
Alex didn't move.
"Susan, please tell my daughter to come to the table"
A shorter woman (obviously hired help), looked up from her
dusting and quietly said, "Honey, you're Mom wants you over
at the dinner table"
Alexandra looked up at Susan.
"Okay, but only cause you asked me, not cause she asked me"
Alex got up and approached the kitchen table, which had been
laid out quite nicely with an assortment of cheeses and
crackers.
Alex regarded the present, a grin appearing on her face.
"Well, I know after last night that there's no way that's
for me, is there?"
Eleanor turned to Susan, the cleaning lady.
"Susan, please excuse us for a moment"
Susan left the room.
Eleanor was unable to suppress her grin. She would (and
always had) done anything for her only daughter.
"I don't know, maybe it is for you. Do you think you deserve
a present?"
Alex looked at her. "Mom, I deserve the world on a plate and
then some"
Eleanor took a small slab of cheese and put it in her mouth.
"Go ahead, sweety. I can't stay mad at you, you know that"
Alex grabbed the box roughly, grinning, "I know you can't,
how could you? Look at this face, right?"
Eleanor took a sip of wine.
"Exactly, you're my weakness"
Alex tore into the paper, not knowing of the fragile cargo
contained within.
Eleanor watched expectantly. She loved giving people
presents, especially her daughter. When she had gotten past
the paper, she looked at her Mom and shook the box.
"Careful, honey. I think it might be fragile"
Alex wrinkled up her face.
"Why, what do you mean? Is it alive?"
Her Mother continued to grin, but said nothing.
She tore open the lid of the box, being no more careful than
moments earlier.
The exchange of looks between the giant girl and the
miniscule woman was like a moment frozen in time. Alexandra
continued to stare, as if she were trying to convince
herself that she was real.
"I-I don't understand", she said, without looking up to her
Mom.
"What's to understand? She's yours"
Alex continued to stare into the box, "Mine?"
She set the box down then gently tipped it over, trying to
jostle the woman free from the tissue paper and ribbons.
Eventually the woman tumbled out. Alex was visibly upset
that she may have hurt the tiny woman.
"Mine?" she said again.
"All yours. Do whatever you want with her. I couldn't care
less"
Eleanor got up and kissed her daughter on the head.
Alex prodded the woman gently with her finger. The woman
grabbed hold, as if to stop it from prodding her.
Alex laughed and looked to her Mom for the first time.
"Thanks Mom, it's-it's - I don't know what to say"
"You don't have to say anything. You deserve it"
Eleanor leaned in over the woman, who was cowering next to
Alex's huge finger.
"Be good to my daughter you little squirt," she said
laughing, "otherwise she might squash you"
The two girls laughed at the thought.
* * *
"Wait a second, what are you people doing?" Lindsey asked
the group she had recently joined. All in all, there were
seven of them, including herself. Lindsey was still
adjusting to being somewhat smaller than usual, but hadn't
forgot how to be a sassy teenager.
Another woman turned to her as three of the men rushed into
the center of the tiled floor between their hiding place and
the now closed entranceway to the store.
"What does it look like we're doing? We're surviving"
The woman turned to join the men, running to catch up to
them.
Lindsey stared in disgust at what she saw - they were
pulling the discarded remnants of an ice cream cone
underneath the bench before the cleaning staff swept it up.
"You people make me sick. Tell me you're not going to eat
that - Tell me!"
Another man turned to her.
"You may find yourself eating things you'd never thought you
would in a few days, trust me"
Lindsey rolled her eyes "As if!"
She plunked herself down onto the floor and pulled her knees
up to her chest. Things were quieter now, not as much foot
traffic. She could relax a bit. From her vantage point
Lindsey watched the group pull the partially crushed cone
towards her. She wrinkled up her face at the sight.
Then it happened.
It happened quickly.
A black clogged foot, seemingly out of nowhere, stepped
towards the group. Large hands appeared, descending towards
the six, most of who didn't yet know what was happening.
Lindsey craned her neck upward, higher then higher still. It
was one of the mall employees - she recognized her - the pet
store - that's right, she worked at the pet store!
Many of the group began to scream as the girl in black
scooped them into her hands, grabbing, poking and sliding
her captures into her awaiting grasp.
One woman (the one closest to Lindsay) held onto her for
dear life. Lindsay, seeing that this woman would hinder her
own chances at escape, pried her arms off of her own, then
shoved the woman - as hard as she could. Lindsay surprised
herself actually, by pushing her quite hard. The woman hit
the floor and slid a few feet before coming to a stop and
sensing the presence above her. After a moment, she quickly
began to claw her way back towards Lindsey and to the hiding
place, but the giant hands from above caught a hold of her
feet and lifted her high into the air with the others.
Lindsey watched the woman's face as she was dragged away.
Her face seemed to plead with Lindsay's, as if to ask for
help.
Lindsey laughed at the woman then stepped back further
beneath the garbage container where she was sure not to be
spotted and could still watch what else was happening.
The one man who DID manage to avoid the girl's first attempt
(the one who had led the line to the ice cream cone) made
the mistake of running towards the girl's feet. The girl,
unaware at this point, shifted her weight as she rose to
stare at the faces and limbs that now protruded from her
enclosed fists.
The giant girl in black looked down for others (Lindsey, at
this point, had moved to the opposite side of the litterbin
and had been careful not to be spotted) and saw the
partially alive man wiggling from underneath her huge black
clog. Suspecting that he was already dead, she lifted her
shoe slightly and dragged it across his body, smearing him
into the grooves of the floor.
It happened quickly - maybe fifteen seconds. It was over
quickly as well. Before Lindsey could take stock of what
happened, she saw the towering girl walk away and around a
corner.
She took a minute to compose herself. "Now what?" she
thought to herself.
"So, what does it do?"
Eleanor looked her daughter in the eyes.
"What do you mean what does it do? It does - everything I
guess. Everything you want it to"
The tiny woman clung to Alex's finger with all her might,
waiting until she lowered her hand enough that she could
finally let go and drop to the table top.
Alex's grin hadn't faltered for almost five minutes. She
raised her hand above the woman and pointed her index finger
to that it was straight. After a second, she lowered her
finger so that it was above the woman's head. The woman
raised her arms and grabbed the finger, attempting to stop
its descent.
Alex laughed.
"It's sooo weak, Mom. I can't believe it!"
Alex continued to gently push downward until the woman
collapsed under its weight.
Her Mom got up from her chair and went to the fridge. "I
think it's a girl"
Alex nodded and lowered her face closer to the tiny woman.
The difference in size was amazing.
"Mom, look at this"
Her Mom turned and smiled. The woman was so incredibly small
compared to her daughter.
Alex laughed at the woman and lowered her face even closer
than before.
"Look, she's looking up my nose. Isn't that hilarious?"
Her Mom smiled again, lighting a cigarette.
"You could fit inside my nose, couldn't you?"
Alex laughed at her own joke.
"Honey, that's disgusting. I want you to be proper around
that thing, however long it lasts. I don't want it looking
up your dress"
Alex rolled her eyes. After a moment she cupped her hands
and pointed to them. The woman complied (what choice did she
have) and moved towards Alex's fleshy hand.
"Mom, it listens to me, look at this!"
Eleanor glances over and smiled. She was already losing
interest. She knew her daughter well. It was only a matter
of time until she lost interest as well.
"I'm taking her to my room"
Alexandra walked up the spiral staircase to the second
floor. From beneath her, her Mother's voice could be heard.
"Don't you want to play with it down here?"
Alex continued up the stairs, taking them two at a time. The
tiny woman bounced in her open, cupped hands, jostling
considerably at her every step.
"No, I'm going to my room. You said it's mine, so no one
else touches it, okay?"
Downstairs Eleanor shrugged and looked to her hired help.
"Bring the kid a present and this is the thanks I get".
* * *
"Look, I'm telling you, she was this huge girl dressed all
in black and she just popped out of nowhere and grabbed the
people - all of them. She was fast, she knew what she was
doing and she didn't bat an eye when she stepped on one of
them accidentally"
Lindsay stood in front of a new group of shrunken people,
explaining "her version" of what happened just hours
earlier.
A girl who looked her own age stepped forward.
"Was it someone you knew - the guy that got squished?
Someone you knew?"
Lindsay stopped short; feigning for a moment that she
actually cared about something or someone.
"Yes - yes, it was someone that I knew..."
Several in the crowd whispered their condolences to Lindsay
and continued to look at her sympathetically. She had to
bite her lip from laughing out loud at the thoughts running
through her head. If these tiny people only knew that not
more than twelve hours ago, she had been one of the giants
that they now all feared running in to. She hadn't just been
a giant, she had been a cruel, merciless giant, who in the
course of three short hours, had killed more than eleven of
the tiny people without batting an eye.
Then again that was then, this was now...
Lindsay was the same as those who stood before her and she
certainly didn't need to be reminded of that.
"Well, what do you suggest?"
A man spoke to Lindsay from within the crowd.
"Sounds like you've seen more than the rest of us, I mean,
what extra precautions should we be taking?"
Lindsey looked to the group of twelve or so people, "I think
the key is staying together, but knowing when to split up.
The choice of knowing when to be a group and when to scatter
and run from your lives is - well, that's all that
matters..."
The crowd nodded in agreement, seemingly impressed by
Lindsay's guidance.
* * *
The group bought into most everything Lindsay suggested.
They would take shifts keeping a look out. If they were
spotted and had to flee, no one would scream, lest he or she
reveal themselves to an as of yet, unknown public. They
would share the food that they found a dozen ways, no matter
how small the portion was. Luckily, this hadn't been too
much of a problem, quantity that is...
Quality was another story all together.
* * *
It was four in the morning when someone gently nudged
Lindsay's shoulder.
"Lindsay"
Lindsay turned and woke, clearly annoyed.
"What the hell?"
It quickly donned on her that it was one of the group,
waking her for her patrol shift. Lindsay immediately became
friendly.
"Oh - good morning"
"It's your turn to patrol. Every one else is still asleep"
"Yeah, yeah, of course"
Lindsay stood and stretched her legs for a moment, then
turned to the man who had woken her.
"It's okay, I'm awake. Go back to sleep"
The man tried to smile, then laid back down on the floor.
Lindsay waited for him to close his eyes, then turned and
faced the slumbering group who lay around her at her feet.
Slowly she tiptoed through the group and, once at the edge,
turned to look back at them again.
Directly at her feet was the largest man of the group.
Lindsay stared down at him, then smiled to herself.
"If I was still a giant, you'd be under my shoe right now,
begging for me not to step on you"
* * *
Alexandra awoke by herself without need of an alarm. After a
moment, she grinned as her mind recollected the events of
the previous day. She yawned and stretched her arms into the
air, her bare feet protruding from under the warmth of the
blankets.
"Did you sleep?" she asked, sitting halfway up and turning
over to her stomach. "I slept like a log"
Balancing on the rim of her brass bedpost was a Kleenex
container. Alexandra took it carefully into her hand and
lowered it down onto the bed. She grinned instinctively when
seeing that the woman hadn't tried to escape.
"How was your sleep? Good? Sleeping on a blanket of tissue,
that's gotta be the life"
Alex's thick fingers reached into the small Kleenex
container and withdrew the woman, who was only partially
awake herself. The previous evening had been exhausting for
her. Alex knew no limits to the games she had played with
the woman, keeping her running, jumping lifting until well
after midnight.
Alex placed the woman onto the mattress, then folder her
arms and leaned her chin forwards onto them.
"I said Good Morning, sleep well?"
The woman nodded to her and eventually said "Good Morning".
Alex didn't know it of course, but she had been the first to
discover that the shrunken could indeed speak. They just
weren't very loud.
Alexandra scuttled her body closer to the woman, moving her
face mere inches away from the reluctant doll.
"Are you tired?"
The woman flinched slightly at the smell of the giant's
breath. Her proximity to Alex was fearfully close and the
gust of her breath quite unpleasant.
Alex picked up on this, but decided not to mention it. She
didn't feel like getting up to brush her teeth just yet, and
besides, if the woman didn't like how she smelled, what was
she going to do about it? Her Mom had said that this tiny
woman was hers to keep, that she owned her, so that was
that.
Alex gestured again to the Kleenex box.
"That's where you'll sleep from now on", Alex breathed,
taking care to exhale onto the woman more forcibly than
before.
"From now on?" her tiny voice barely heard by Alex, "I-I
can't, I can't stay here. What do you mean from now on?"
Alex smiled at all of this foolishness.
"Forever," she said, her grin growing even larger, "that's
where you'll sleep for the rest of your life"
The woman began to cry softly to herself.
Alex withdrew her giant face, sat up and began to pull on a
pair of socks.
After a moment she turned on her stereo wall unit, which
quickly drowned out the woman's sobbing.
* * *
Lindsay had strolled quite a distance from the group. They
had agreed to stay close, but no matter. They were too tired
and would never miss her. Though it took more than fifteen
minutes, she made her way near the pet store where she had
earlier seen the girl in black.
Since the mall was not yet open, Lindsay walked wherever she
pleased. A younger version of herself had always dreamed of
having a shopping mall completely to herself, and now, as
she strode forwards, less than two inches tall, the irony
was not lost on her.
She continued forward, moving closer now to the gates of the
pet store. She had been aware of the directions she had
maintained, careful that she could find her way back to the
group, where she would be when they woke.
Eventually she reached the tall gates of the pet store.
Lindsay leaned against them and stared inside.
Slowly, an idea came to her mind.
It was risky, but anything that's really, truly fun and
worthwhile, usually is...
* * *
Eleanor, dressed in a newly tailored dress suit, stood at a
full-length mirror and examined her outfit. Susan, the hired
help, stood close, waiting for Eleanor's request.
Alexandra clunked down the stairs holding her tote bag over
her shoulder.
Perched high on the top of her head, partially covered by
barrettes and hidden from view, was the shrunken woman, whom
Alex had officially named 'Betty'. It had taken more than
twenty minutes to secure her in her hair, but walking around
the huge house, while a miniature woman rode on the top of
your head made it all worth it.
Alex turned and faced her Mother.
"I need to go to school"
"Yes, I know you do honey. Unfortunately, I'm busy right
now"
"Can Susan take me?"
Eleanor turned to the hired help.
"No, I need her here"
"What for?"
"In case I need something"
Alex challenged her Mother.
"What could you possibly need that you can't do for
yourself?"
Her Mother turned to her, angry. She reached into her purse
and handed Alex a twenty-dollar bill.
"Take a taxi"
Alex took the money.
"What about lunch?"
Her Mother reached into her pocket again and pulled out
fifty dollars.
"Here, give me the twenty and you can take this"
Alex grinned at the money.
"No, I want both"
Her Mother sighed and knew this was a battle she would not
win.
"Fine, take it"
Alexandra took the fifty-dollar bill and high tailed it in
the other direction.
"Are you taking that thing to school?"
"I'm not going to school and it's not a 'thing', it's Betty"
"What do you mean you're not going to school"
Alex grinned back to her Mother from the end of the hallway.
"I just said that to get the money"
She disappeared from sight. Eleanor looked to Susan, the
hired help.
"Susan, get my jacket please"
* * *
Alex strolled into the kitchen, while high above the floor,
perched on the top of her head and entangled in her thick
hair, the tiny woman feared what would happen next.
* * *
One by one the group had awoke from their sleep. Keith, the
man who had previously woken Lindsay was the first to notice
that she was no where to be seen.
"Anyone seen Lindsay?"
People looked around, shook their heads. Most were nervous.
The mall would open in less than an hour and the group's
struggle would begin again.
Keith walked away from the group and began to search for the
young girl.
He appeared nervous at what could have happened.
* * *
The girl in black fidgeted for her keys. It was already
eight thirty. The mall didn't open until nine, but she was
always supposed to be on shift an hour early, to feed the
animals and to straighten up the store.
Something was flashing in her eyes. Was it her keys? No,
they were in the lock already. She looked again to the floor
and stood still, highly suspicious that she knew what it
was.
She was motionless for a moment and then the shining flared
the corner of her eye. She looked down again.
There, at the corner of the sliding gate was one of the
shrunken people. The giant girl let go of her keys, dropped
her bag and immediately squatted and reached towards the
person, figuring that she, like all others, would
immediately flee for its life.
This one didn't. In the two or three seconds that it took
the giant to bend down, relocate the tiny person and to
reach towards them - it just stood there.
Lindsay's heart was beating faster than she thought it ever
could have. The giant's hand was upon her and a microsecond
later, she was being hoisted into the air. Everything was
blurry for a moment as she struggled to keep from throwing
up what she had eaten.
The giant didn't say anything, only stared at Lindsay for a
moment, before returning to open the latch to the sliding
gate.
It took Lindsay's stomach a moment to return to normal.
Something she had to wait to happen before she could speak
again.
The giant slid the doors to the pet store open and stepped
inside.
"Listen to me!"
Lindsay shouted as loud as she could, but the giant girl
mistook it for a scream, which, of course was typical from
those she had caught.
Lindsay continued to yell, until she surprised herself by
actually getting the giant girls' attention.
Suddenly, as if in fast motion, she was pulled towards the
giant's face. Her huge brown eyes stared at the tiny
Lindsay, as if to say, "You've got three seconds, make it
good"
Instead, the giant merely said.
"What?"
Lindsay froze for a moment, having never seen anyone this
large this close before. It was a truly frightening
experience. One that she would always remember.
Lindsay cupped her hands and yelled.
"I can help you"
The giant girl smirked and opened her huge mouth to say...
"Really?"
Lindsay walked through the mall by herself. It was still
before eight in the morning, and none of the stores had yet
opened. She had seen a janitor in the distance at one point,
but that had been it.
She walked at a leisurely pace for what must have been
fifteen minutes or so, before nearing the area where she had
deserted her post. Upon getting closer, she slowed her pace
slightly and began to hug the wall, taking extra care not to
be spotted by anyone.
It wasn't too long before she realized that the entire group
was up and on there feet.
"****" she said to herself.
Lindsay continued towards the group, making up excuses as
she approached.
Several in the group noticed her. One in particular, Will,
moved to meet her.
"What happened?"
"Nothing, I just decided to take a walk, that's all. I met a
friend"
Will was perplexed.
"A walk? You were supposed to be standing guard. That's what
we agreed"
Lindsay looked at her feet, not savoring the tongue-lashing
she was about to receive.
"You said you'd stay and watch while we slept!"
"Yeah, but nothing happened, did it?"
Will looked sternly at her.
"No, nothing happened, THIS TIME!"
"I won't do it again, okay?"
Will looked behind him to the group, then back at Lindsay,
lowering his voice.
"Lindsay, we're leaving without you. You can't come with us"
Lindsay was flabbergasted. This wasn't part of her plan at
all.
"What?"
"You heard what I said. We were going to leave without you,
but I thought you deserved an explanation. You're still
acting like a teenager. Acting like a teenager will get us
killed. None of us want that"
Lindsay stared at the ground. Will turned and walked back to
the group.
"Goodbye and good luck"
Lindsay watched as the group shuffled off into the distance.
A few of them looked over their shoulders at her as they
left.
None of them was sure why it was that Lindsay was smiling.
* * *
Alexandra walked through the kitchen and sat on the couch in
the living room. In her hands was "Betty", whom she was
playing with casually.
"Susan!"
After a moment, Susan entered the room.
"Yes dear?"
"Come here please"
Susan walked into the sunken living room to face Alexandra.
Alex was someone she didn't necessarily like very much.
Truth be told, she didn't like her one bit. Susan had
watched for the two years that she had worked in the
household, as Alex got whatever she wanted whenever she
wanted it. She was a brat and she knew Alex was aware of how
she felt. Only problem was, Alex simply didn't care. In
fact, she liked to rub Susan's face in the fact that she was
being paid to cook and clean for her and her Mom.
"What can I do for you, dear?"
Alex raised her foot in the air slightly, pointing a white
sock at Susan.
"My foot hurts again"
Susan pretended to be concerned, dreading what was coming
next.
"Oh, really, that's too bad"
"Can you rub it please?"
"Honey, your Mom left me a lot of work to do. I don't think
I have time"
Alex continued to hold her foot in the air, gesturing with
it.
"You have time. Come sit down"
Susan, knowing that Alex could easily convince her Mother to
hire someone else (she had threatened to do so on many
occasions), moved towards the couch and sat down. Alex
lowered her leg onto Susan's lap.
"Where does it hurt, dear?"
"Mostly around the toes. You can do it all over though. Both
feet, not just that one"
Susan stared at Alex, pondering the young girl's audacity at
demanding such a request, but Alex was too absorbed with her
shrunken woman to notice. The woman was lying on Alex's
collarbone. Alex's chin lowered, slightly, then her chest
vibrated with the sound of her voice.
"Where did you go?"
Her giant tree trunk fingers found the woman and lifted her
upwards, not caring that the woman was upside down.
"There you are. Are you hungry yet?"
The woman shook her head. She was too nervous about what
would happen to her to be aware of the fact that she hadn't
eaten in seventeen hours. This giant girl was being nice
now, but what about tomorrow, or a week from now when she
got bored with her? The woman had seen what a disobedient
brat Alex was, and was fearful about her future with her.
Alex looked up at Susan who was rubbing her feet.
"Can you believe it? Betty hasn't eaten anything yet?"
Susan didn't acknowledge her right away, so Alex prodded her
with her free foot.
"I said she hasn't eaten!"
Susan looked up.
"That's too bad, dear"
Alex got annoyed with Susan very quickly. Anyone who could
so easily be coerced into being bossed was very hard to
respect.
Alex raised her foot in front of Susan's face and held it
there.
"Now this one please"
The shrunken woman looked on to Alex's lack of respect for
this adult and her fear grew. If she was like this to a
full-grown woman old enough to be her Mother, what would she
do to a woman the size of her baby finger?
* * *
The mall was open and beginning to fill with people. Eleanor
speed walked through various sections of the mall,
determined not to take the time to buy anything. It wasn't
long however before something caught her eye.
Far below the shoppers in the mall, on the ground beneath
their feet, group upon group of shrunken people awaited
their respective fates.
Will and his group trudged forwards carefully. It had been
three hours since their departure from Lindsay. They had
talked about it to one another, but mostly focused on how to
stay alive during the busy lunch hour.
Miriam, one of the older women in the group had a
suggestion.
"I think that if we travel over this way, that we'll come to
that long hallway that leads to the exits. It's usually
pretty quiet there, I mean, as far as shoppers go"
Will nodded.
"We could stay there until the mall closes"
The others in the group seemed to agree and together, they
began cautiously in that direction.
To get across a walkway in the mall, the group ran, one at a
time. Obviously because of age and degree of physical
fitness, not everyone could run at the same speed. Some
could cross the walkway in a little over eight seconds,
while others took a full thirty, some even forty!
One unfortunate man, for one reason or another, had a limp.
He was very reluctant to make the journey across the
walkway, opting to wait until the mall had closed. The
others called to him, yelling that they had to stay together
as a group.
Eventually, when he felt the moment to be right, he began
towards the group. A running giant proceeded
