Chapter #4
En-countering issues. . .
by: Unknown
There you were. 1/8th of an inch tall. . . trapped on a counter at an incredibly small size. The entire monolith of space, everything was spread out as far as the eye could see. The kitchen looked like an enormous labyrinth. It was incredibly intimidating at your size. Looking around, it looked like you had some time to kill. You look left and right. To the right was a mat. It had a floral design and you recognized it as the one that your siblings used to put their breakfast on.
You knew that eventually, one of them would be coming downstairs to eat their food. . . and that would be the time to get their attention! Then, hopefully. . . they could put you someplace safe. Though you knew, a lot of times. .. . that safe place was their shoes. . . or worse. . . their underwear. Worse still, being with your sibling's breakfast could be quite dangerous. Once, your brother put you in your mom's egg sandwich as a prank. Your mother never even noticed as your tiny body went inside of her giant mouth. You still remember screaming. . . as loud as you could, as the pieces of food around you were chewed and crushed under her massive mouth.
You were that close to being eaten. . . your only savior was the fact that you tasted differently in her mouth. Worse yet, it was you who was punished for this. . . a week in your mom's shoe. . . scrubbing her feet. She wouldn't even listen to your attempts to tell what really happened.
Still, at this size, your family wasn't the only issue you might face. You were a target to bugs and other animals that could easily eat you too. Even though it would be humiliating, this was for the best. What other options were there?
To the right, was a group of stacked items that led up to the pantry. From there, you could get to the cups or the keys.
The cups would be a good place, cause your siblings could see you while you went up there to get them. The only issue was at the danger of yourself falling into one of their cups. You wouldn't want to be eaten up by one of them!! You remember once having a close encounter when your sister shrank you once for fun. She put you in her cup for safekeeping, but forgot about you. . . almost swallowing you whole!! If it wasn't for your fast reflexes, jumping out of the cup. . .you would have been finished.
The reason the keys would be a good place, is that your mother regularly shrank you and forget where you where. You remember one time it was weeks before anyone found you. . . you just living off of table scraps. The worse part was that in order to survive at one point, you had to eat off of Dan's foot. . . his dry skin still lingered in your mouth.
You shuddered at the thought. Still, you didn't want that to happen again.
Now you thought about what your next move would be. . .
