In front of you to the right you could see that the door opened and in came your sister Carla, completely dwarfing the two of you in size. Her blonde hair was braided into a crown on her head and her fingernails had been painted blue like her eyes. She had on a light blue ballet dress with wide, fluffy tutu that stretched out so far that it looked like she was wearing a football stadium around her waist. For some reason reason she hadn’t put her ballet slippers on but you were about to why. “What’s up nerds. It’s time for you to smell my - where’d you go? You look over to your sister and say “I think we’d better run under the covers and hide before she finds us.” Mary nods her head vigorously. “I agree.” You both bolt it for the covers as Carla makes her way over to your bed.
Normally, this would’ve taken no time at all but the two of you were less than an inch in height so it felt like you were a mile away from safety under the blankets and Carla’s booming footsteps were not helping your confidence. You looked up and found that Carla’s head had already come over the bed. Luckily she was still having trouble finding you. Maybe you were small enough that she wouldn’t notice you. You had almost made it to the blankets when you hear from up above you “There you two are!” before Carla’s enormous left hand slammed down in front of you, blocking you exit. Before either of you had a chance to react Carla’s other hand came in and scooped you up. You were brought up from the bed and when you gathered your senses you found the utterly frightening face of your sister Carla. She was giving you this smile that stretched from ear-to-ear yet covered the width of your peripheral vision. She made sure to show her pearly whites in a very shark-like fashion as her deep blue eyes drilled into you.
“Well, well, what do we have here? I have both of you shrunken, at the same time, in the palm of my hand, and there’s nothing you can do about it. This is too perfect! It seems that sneaking my shrinking formula into your dinner last night worked as well as had hoped, although it seems to have had more of an effect on you Jamie.” It was true. While both of them were less than an inch, you came in below Mary’s shoulders. You had no idea how Mary’s height had escaped you. “In any case, right now is the perfect time to play a game with you before I shove you in my slippers. I’m going to chase the two of you around the house and attempt stomp on you with my feet. But since I’m so sweet I’m going to give you a head start. I’ll place you by the doorway and then I’ll walk back here to the edge of the room to give you plenty of room so that I don’t squash you early. After that you have until the count of Ten to run as fast as you can but I don’t expect you to make it very far considering how well you did earlier. Alright, don’t mistake my kindness for weakness, that would be a BIG mistake and don’t have too much fun down there “little” siblings. Sister Carla’s about to get you!” Carla began walking over to the doorway, paying no attention the unsteady surface that was her hand.
She brought her hand down to the wood panel flooring and signalled for the two of you to jump off. Looking behind, you could see Carla’s bare feet. Her toes looked like cars with blue toenail polish. She veins on the tops of her feet, obviously from the many hours of practice strengthening them, except that they looked more like tree trunks. Looking up was your sister rising up to her full height, her upper body blocked out by her cloud-length tutu. All you could see was her pale calves and thighs. Looking at her legs was like looking at two washington monuments, with the sun’s rays coming through her tutu giving them a bright pink canopy. Carla then began to turn around and headed to the edge of the room, giving you a view of her dirty soles. She probably didn’t notice the dirt but to you it seemed like she went jogging barefoot in the forest before she came here, which come to think of it, she probably did just to torture you and Mary more with her dirty, smelly, feet. Before you knew it she had turned back around and said “here we go, Ten…” Crap, it was go time.
The two of you sprinted out into the hall and found to your dismay there was no hiding places in sight, just miles of hallway. “Nine...” The situation felt hopeless but there was no point in turning back now. “Eight...” Maybe you could find help from Catherine. “Seven…” No, she was probably still sleeping. “Six…” Perhaps Wendy was wondering where you everyone was and could be looking for you because of her early bird tendencies. “Five…” Although you had no idea when she would come around here. “Four…” If that one hole in the floorboards was still here in the hallway it could be your safe zone. “Three…” Then again, you were pretty sure that was in some other part of the house. “Two…” Plus, you were pretty sure that the hole had already been patched up. “One. Ready or not here I come!” You had to keep running, maybe something else would come up. You could feel Carla’s steps ,like earthquakes coming toward you. You decided to look behind you to see how far she was behind you. Bad idea. You found that you where you had barely covered any ground at all, Carla was gaining on you fast.
“Fee fi fo fum, I’m the giantess here I come.” You were screaming internally as you saw your sister, smile plastered on her face, coming toward you. You stared ahead, best not to look back again. Suddenly, the ground beneath you started to look pinker. Oh no, that was the sun’s way of trying to tell you to watch out. Out of nowhere BOOM! Her foot stomped the floor to you left and then again to your right. “Dangit, it’s so hard to see you tinies with my tutu in the way.” Carla kept repeatedly missing, your heart rate jumping up each time, until she didn’t. You look behind you and see mary trapped between the big and second toe of Carla’s right foot with her lower body underneath the rest of her foot. “Yes, got you! Now it’s time to see my prize.” You ran back and tried to pull Mary from Sarah’s foot but she was pinned. You felt two forces pinch on your sides and lift you up. You launched 500 feet (to yoy) into the air in two seconds. You felt sick. After opening your eyes you see Carla, happier than ever. “Yay! That was fun! We should do this more often. Sadly, the game must end but luckily your time with my feet has just begun. Hope you like Ballet!” Carla started walking, you between her fingers and Mary clenched between toes. Clara turned the corner and saw:
