Description
For the next half hour she stayed in that position, never even thinking that there might be two little bugs still stuck to the bottom of her hot, sweaty foot. Though she was barely putting any pressure on them anymore, the sheer weight of her leg was enough to ensure that they were pressed firmly down, held in place without a chance to escape. The longer she sat, the worse the conditions under her sole grew. The ground became hot and it was difficult to breath, her skin started to sweat. Soon Will and Luke were begging her to lift her foot, but their screams were muffled by the massive wall of flesh that rested on top of them.
Eventually Hailey grew restless. She looked at the boy sitting across from her, who had his feet slung over the arm of the couch, his head resting on one of the cushions. Thinking nothing of it, the girl pulled her legs up, crossing them under her. It was a simple movement, but she felt way more comfortable.
With her sole finally off the ground, Will and Luke were given a minute to breath. “Luke,” Will said after he had finally caught his breath. “Luke, are you still there?”
“Ack,” the other boy coughed as he accidentally inhaled a bit of vaporized sweat. “Yeah, I’m here. But…” he tried to pull himself off the girl’s foot, but found himself completely stuck. “I can’t move.”
Will tried to do the same, but he couldn’t even rip his head away from her soft, warm flesh. “Me neither. What are we going to do?”
“Will… I don’t want to be stepped on again.”
“I know, just…” Will tried to think. “Just keep trying to get free.
As the boy’s tried to find a way out of their hell, Hailey absentmindedly let one of her hands drift down to her leg. Her fingers passed over her skin, moving to her ankle, then her heel, then to the chubby folds of her foot. Her eyes were fixed on the television as her pointer finger rolled over something small and hard that was stuck there.
“Hm?” she hummed after rubbing it again. The girl glanced down at her sole. She was surprised to find two bugs still stuck there. They must have been the two little insects she had stepped on before; she had nearly forgotten all about them. Well, if they liked her foot so much they could stay there.
She was about to turn back to the television when something about the bugs caught her eye. The giant child leaned closer to her foot, her face only inches away from the two tiny teens trapped on her sole.
“Hailey!” Luke screamed, the girl’s face coming so close that her pink skin was spread over his entire vision. “Hailey, it's me! I’m not a bug!”
Suddenly the girl’s eyes went wide as she realized what had happened. The bugs she had stepped on weren’t bugs at all! They were tiny people. She then started to smile. She had always wanted a tiny person as a pet. “Ayden, I’m just going to the bathroom, okay?” she said. The other boy barely even nodded.
With a giggly little hop the girl jumped down from the couch, her feet pressing Luke and Will into the floor once again. She couldn’t help but smile at the thought of it. She then took a few steps out of the room, making sure to focus on the feeling of those tiny lumps that were under her sole. When the giant finally reached the hallway she plopped her butt down again, and brought her foot over her leg.
“You’re tiny people, aren’t you!” the girl whispered to the bugs on her foot.
“Yes!” Luke called out, his body still aching from the most recent trampling. “Please, Hailey, you need to...”
“What? I can’t hear you.” The girl leaned in closer.
“I said you need to…”
“Hailey!” the girl tensed up as her mother called her name. “Hailey, are you almost done playing with Ayden?”
“Uh, yeah mom,” she called back.
“Okay, well I think we’ll be leaving soon.”
“Right,” the girl said, turning back to her sole. “I need to get you off of my foot.” She reached down to her foot then, gently grabbing Luke by his leg and peeling him off the dirty underside of her sole. The skin stuck to him for a moment before popping off. She did the same to Will, then held them both in her hands.
The two teens couldn’t even stand after everything they had been through. Luke fell face first into the soft spongy spot of her hand, while Look just sat, looking up at the giant. The girl then leaned close to them, so close that when she spoke the smell of apple juice flowed over them. “Don’t worry buggies, I’m going to keep you really safe. You’re my buggies now.”
Dread flowed over both teenagers in the girl’s hands. This wasn’t good. Being alone in a house full of giants was one thing, but being captured and kept as a toy for a kid was another. If they didn’t do anything she’d take them home with her, and then they’d never be found. “Wait, Hailey!” Will shouted, jumping to his feet. “You can’t take us home! We need to get bigger and…” He couldn’t finish the sentence though. Hailey’s fingers curled around her newest toys as she lowered her hand, shoving it into one of her pockets.
She let go, and the two boys feel downwards until they collided with the linty lining at the very bottom. “No, no, crap!” Will said as he frantically tried to climb up. The surface was too smooth though.
Luke only looked on as the girl took her hand out of her pocket, the opening naturally falling closed, darkness surrounding both of them.
“Coming mom!” Hailey said happily as she bounced back to her feet, skipping towards her mother, her new toys tucked safely away.
Luke and Will sat in the dark pit of the girl’s pocket as she moved around. Each step she took caused their world to shake, but eventually they grew used to it. They couldn’t see anything, and the constant heat radiating from the girl was stifling, but there was nothing else for them to do.
“What do you think’s going to happen?” Luke asked his friend. “You don’t think she’ll help us, do you?”
“I mean…” Will shrugged. “Maybe. She could be really nice. You’ve talked to her before, right? How is she like normally?”
Luke bobbed his head to the side. “She’s fine most of the time, but every once in a while she’ll throw a fit and start screaming. I honestly never liked her, but our moms are friends.”
“Great,” Will said. After that they stayed quiet, both trying to think of a way out of their situation. Eventually a hole was ripped open above them, light flooding into their prison before five massive fingers reached down. Luke and Will tried to fight them off, but the girl had no trouble pulling her toys out from their hiding spot.
“Wow!” the little girl said as she held Luke and Will up to her face. Her warm breath washed over them, smelling sweet. They looked around then, both coming to the terrifying realization that they were in her room. It was white, with little spots of light blue used to accent it. Under them was a short white carpet, with a few childish toys scattered around. “I can’t believe I found two shrinkies! Yay!” the girl nearly jumped. “What are your names?”
“I… I’m Will.”
“Luke. I used to know you, remember?”
“Luke?” the girl repeated. She tilted her head to the side, then remembered. “Oh, Ayden’s brother. Right?”
“Yeah, that’s me!” Luke seemed excited. There might still be some hope left. “Yeah, me and Will shrunk, and then we’ve been trying to get help, and we…”
“I know you shrunk. That’s why I can hold you.” the girl gave an innocent smile. “But I don’t really like your names. Will and Luke are too… boy. How about I call you Stompy and Smushy instead?”
“Stompy…” Will repeated, not liking the implications.
“But,” Luke tried to say. “Those aren’t our…”
“I found you.” The girl said with a suddenly harsh attitude. “That means that you’re MINE. That means that I can call you whatever I want. And I want to name you Stompy and Smushy.” Suddenly her face softened. “What should we play first?”
Luke and Will looked at each other, their concern easily to see. This was not going well. After a moment of thought Hailey had a good idea. Without saying anything she walked over to her bed and plopped her butt onto it. She then lowered her two toys down to her feet, then dropped them on the carpet.
The girl smiled down at them as she wiggled her bare toes at them. It was only now that they could see she had actually painted her toenails, a light green that was starting to flake towards the edges. “Okay, I want you two to rub my feet. Because I’m your owner now, and you have to do everything I say.”
Luke and Will looked at each other again. Will gulped, then looked up at the giant. “Hailey, please, we don’t want to…”
“I said RUB!” the girl nearly shouted, stomping one of her feet on the ground, the impact enough to almost make her toys fall. “Or I’m going to step on you again.”
“O… Okay,” Luke hurriedly said. “We’ll rub, just calm down.” The tiny teenagers went up to the giant girl’s feet. The sheer scale of them was intimidating. They were barely even big enough to reach over her toes, and she was just a little kid. At least her feet seemed relatively clean; even when they were close enough to touch her toes there was barely any smell. They did see little droplets of sweat, gently rolling down her skin.
Luke shook his head, then pressed his hands against her big toe, rubbing the front of it as best he could. Will followed, walking up to her second toe and doing the same. Hailey seemed satisfied and smiled down at her little helpers. Though the girl could barely feel their hands rubbing at her toes, the knowledge that they were down there was enough. For some reason she really liked having a couple cute boys to be her slave. As they continued, the girl pulled her phone from her pocket and started reading through her notifications.
The tiny teens continued to rub the girl’s feet, even though she wasn’t paying much attention to them. Neither wanted to know what would happen if they stopped. After around ten minutes the girl shifted without warning, crossing her feet at the ankle so that her sole was a little off the ground. She looked down at them and gave the simple command, “Now rub under my feet.” Both boys nodded, then walked towards her fleshy, soft sole.
It was scary being that close to a giant’s foot again, especially one that they had just be crushed under. The feeling of their bodies compressing under this very skin, their limbs about to break, their chest unable to expand enough to breath, was horrifying. But this was the only thing they could do. When their hands touched her foot they pushed into the chubby skin, heat immediately flowing over them. Hailey’s foot, after being trapped in her shoe, had become hot.
They continued to rub, ignoring the loose droplets of sweat that rolled onto their hands and got stuck to their arms. At least they were able to pull away from it before they became stuck again.
After another thirty minutes of uninterrupted servitude their giant captor grew bored of scrolling through her different feeds. She wanted to play something different, and she had the perfect idea. “Hey, Squishy,” she said down to the boys at her feet. “Come out from under my foot.
Luke and Will glanced at each other, neither remembering which one was Squishy. Luke eventually said, “I think that’s you.”
“Was it?” Will asked.
“I don’t know. Just go.”
“Fine.” Will walked out from under the girl’s sole, his heart fluttering as he looked up at her face a thousand feet above. “H… Hello,” he said nervously.
“Good, you came.” She leaned down then and grabbed his without warning, Will’s tiny body compressing between her finger tips. She then brought him up to her face and smiled, turning him around a bit. “You’re cute,” she eventually said.
“Uh… thanks,” was the only thing Will could think to say.
“I like you. I’m going to take really good care of you, and make sure no one steps on you or anything.”
“I would really appreciate that.”
“But… I kind of want to step on your friend.” A mean smile spread over the girl’s face as she gently lowered her foot to the ground. Luke, who had still been under her sole, suddenly found himself pressed lightly into the carpet once again. He screamed as he tried to squirm away, but her hot, fleshy sole gave him no room to move. “Should I?”
“NO!” Will shouted, “No, Hailey, you can’t crush him.”
“Why not? He’s mine.”
“Because he…” Will tried to think of a reason that would make sense to this deranged little kid. “Because he is really good at painting toenails.”
“Really?” she said. “I always wanted someone to paint my toenails!”
“Yeah, he can do French tips and… other nail stuff.”
“Okay. I guess that’s kind of cool.” She thought for a minute, then came to a conclusion. “But I still want to squish him.”
“Hailey, don’t you get that we’re people?” Will was desperate now, literally pleading with the goddess. “We’re alive, just like you, and you’re hurting us. Please don’t squish him, and please help us get better. We’re just like…”
“No you’re not,” the girl suddenly said, her laugh implying that what he just said made no sense. “You’re tiny. Duh.” She giggled again. “Okay, how about this. I won't squish your friend. But you have to do something for me.”
“Uh…” Will gulped. “What do you want me to do?”
“Well, you’re really cute, and I want to see what a boy...”
“Hailey!” A voice suddenly called from the other room. The girl rolled her eyes at the sudden interruption.
“What, mom?”
“Dinner is ready. Clean up and come eat.”
“But mom, I was playing with my…”
“Now, young lady. Before it gets cold.”
“Uh!” the girl groaned, then looked around the room. “I need to find somewhere to keep you two… somewhere that you can’t escape, and that I can… Oh!” The girl’s eyes landed on something useful. With Will still in her hand, and Luke under her sole, she grabbed a Ziplock bag of m&m’s sitting on her nightstand. She popped it open then dropped Will inside. The tiny boy fell until he landed on the pile of chocolates, the top layer shifting for him to fall deeper, so that he could barely even see out from the trap. A few moments later and Hailey pried Luke up from under her sole, then dropped him in too.
“Okay, you stay there,” she said down as she sealed the bag. “Don’t try to escape, or I’m going to stomp you both. Got it?” They both nodded as best they could. “Good. We can play more after dinner.” She dropped the bag of candy back in a bowl by her bed, then jumped onto the floor and walked out.
Will and Luke were left alone, trapped in a giant bag of chocolates.
It had been almost two hours since Hailey had dropped the two bugs into her snack bag. They hadn’t been able to find a way out, despite how hard they pushed against the Ziploc seal. Though it was something that would have been trivial to open under any other circumstances, they simply weren’t strong enough. Eventually they gave up and went back to the massive pile of m&m’s. At least the hard shells prevented them from melting.
Then the door opened. Will and Luke froze in place, their hearts racing as they expected Hailey to walk right over to them and continue her little play session. Neither of them wanted to go through that again. But, instead of the little girl coming in there was a different giant. She was a bit older, probably around thirteen or fourteen, with dark hair loosely falling down her shoulders and her back. She had on a light t-shirt and thin shorts.
“Who is that?” Will asked his friend.
“I…” Luke squinted as the giant took a few steps into the room, shaking the ground. “I think that’s Hailey's sister, Jessica.”
“Crap,” Will said as the giant looked around the room. “This isn’t good.”
“No dude, Jessica is actually really nice. Like, really really nice. If she can find us she’ll help!”
“What?” Will said, unbelieving.
“Yeah. Like, I’ve seen her pick up bugs and move them outside. If we just tell her what her sister has been doing she’ll help us. I know it.”
“But we still need her to find us,” Will said, looking down at the bag. “Hm… How can we do that?” He thought to himself as the thuds of the girl’s footsteps grew stronger and stronger.
“Will?” Luke said.
“Yeah?” his friend answered, still deep in thought.
“I don’t think that’s an issue.”
“What do you…” Will trailed off as he looked up, his heart sinking at the sight of the giant teenager looking straight down at the bag of m&m’s. But there wasn’t concern on her face, or realization or shock. There was just desire.
Jessica licked her lips as she grabbed the bag by the top, lifting it into the air. Instantly the contents were moved around, the two tiny teenagers dragged under by the massive amount of candy. They were lost amongst the chocolate. “Wait!” Will tried to shout as he fought through the sea of colorful candies.
“Hm… I wonder if Hailey would mind.” the giant’s voice shook the bag gently. “Probably not. And I can always replace them.”
“Wait, no, wait!” Will and Luke were quieted as the girl turned from her sister’s bed, then walked out of the room. They could only watch as the floor flew by under them and they were taken into another room of the house. This one was similar to the last. There was a bed in one corner, with carpeting underneath and furniture all around. It must have been Jessica’s room.
The giant girl plopped onto her bed, the bag of candy shaking with the impact. She then grabbed the remote and turned on the television she had set up. There was a moment where she simply flipped through the channels until she found something good, then she leaned back against her pillow and brought the bag up to her chest.
“Jessica!” Luke shouted as he slender fingers popped open the bag. “Jessica, I need your help, we…”
He was cut off as the giant’s fingers suddenly dove into the bag, grasping a good sized handful of the tiny candies. Without even looking the girl lifted them out of the bag, a few loose ones falling back in, the rest being taken to her mouth. Her lips parted and the candies went in. Luke and Will felt sick as they heard her teeth come down on the crunchy outer coating, grinding them into a pulp. Then she pushed them to the back of her mouth and swallowed. A simple action, something she didn’t even put any thought into. Something she didn’t even care about.
Then her fingers came down again. “Move!” Will shouted as he saw them aim in Luke’s direction. The tiny boy dove out of the way, but in the madness that followed the bag shifted, and some of the m&m’s fell onto his body. He screamed as one pinned his leg down hard. “Crap, Will!”
Will went over and grabbed his arm, yanking him free. They weren’t out of danger yet though. For the next few minutes Jessica continued with her routine. Without looking she would lower her fingers into the bag and lazily grab a handful of the snacks. She then tossed them into her mouth without a second thought and chewed. All the while the thought never even crossed her mind that there might be two tiny little boy’s trapped in the bag below. She just kept eating.
The boys did everything they could to avoid being eaten. Then ran and ducked, punched at her fingers when they were lowered in, but nothing worked. She was still eating, and they were still just bugs. Finally their luck ran out as they saw Jessica’s fingers descend into the bag one more time. They knew they needed to move, but sprinting and jumping for the last half hour had exhausted them.
They could only brace themselves as the girl’s fingers fell around them, pressing the different pieces of candy together. “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” they screamed as they were lifted into the sky.
Jessica paused a moment as she brought the handful up to her mouth. Her eyes were still fixed on the screen, unblinking, unthinking about anything other than what was right in front of her. “Jessica!” the two boys screamed and screamed, literally begging for their lives, begging the goddess before them not to swallow them alive. “Please don’t do this! Please!”
The girl breathed out, and they felt her warm, chocolate scented breath pass over them, a hint at what's to come. The moment lingered on, the two tiny boys trapped inside her hand, just waiting to be consumed. Then the girl looked down at them, her eyes lazily passing over the handful of chocolates.
“Jessica!” they both screamed, knowing that this was their last chance. She was looking right at them, all she needed to do was realize they were there.
“Hm…” the girl hummed. “Maybe I should leave some. Hailey will probably get mad if I don’t.” She started to lower her hand back towards the bag. Will and Luke could barely breathe from the excitement. They might not have been found, but at least they weren’t going to be eaten. Who knows, maybe living as a little girl’s toy wouldn’t be that bad. They could get used to the smell of her feet, as long as they were allowed to live. “But…” the word hung over them as the girl’s hand stopped. “She probably wouldn't miss one more bite.”
“No, no, no!” they screamed as Jessica lifted her hand back to her face. They watched as they came back up, the girl fully intending on eating them. Then, without warning, her pink lips parted. Luke and Will looked into the great black cavern that was her mouth, tendrils of spit dripping down from the ceiling and connecting with the wide expanse of her tongue. And then she moved her hand closer.
“No, No, No!” they screamed as they passed through her lips, into the blackness of her mouth. This wasn’t good. Then, simply, Jessica dropped the candies. The little pieces tumbled onto her tongue and into her cheeks, the two boys instantly drenched with her spit as they hit the inside of her mouth. They couldn’t even stand in the hot, sloppy conditions.
Then her mouth closed, and her teeth came down. The sound of her molars grinding the hard shells of the m&m’s was deafening as she continued to crush and smash each object that came between her jaws. She simply chewed, the sounds gradually turning from the harsh crack of the shells to the gooey, drippy, squishy sound of mush being turned into slime. Somehow Luke and Will managed to avoid being crushed by her teeth, but as they sat trapped into the gross mush of half melted chocolate and spit, they knew they weren’t going to survive what came next.
The same as all the other snacks. Without realizing that there were two little boy’s in her mouth, Jessica leaned her head back slightly. A tiny lump formed in her throat as she swallowed them down.
