This choice: Tina escapes momentarily. • Go Back... author: keri
With her back up against the door, she has nowhere to run. You look down upon her with amusement. "It works all too well," you say. "You know I hate to tell you this Tina, but I'm afraid I cant have any witnesses to my little heist here today."
Tina looks up at you panic stricken. "What are you saying?" she says, her voice cracking. Tears begin to roll down her tiny cheeks.
For a moment your heart softens, you could only imagine what she must be feeling right now, being only inches tall with a giant looming over her who just indicated that he was going to do something very horrible. You hang your head down and sigh, thinking this through. Which was enough time for Tina to make a run for it. She squeezes her way under the lab door.
"Tina!" you say almost in a shout.
Then you hear a scream from out in the hall. You slowly crack the door open and peek out and pull your head back quickly when you see Mrs. Juanita Hernandez, one of the morning janitors. She's an older Hispanic woman who, in her late forties and having five kids, still looks very attractive.
You peek back out and see her trying to swat something with her broom, all the while yelling something in Spanish you couldn't understand. But you are pretty sure what she is swatting at. Then you see it, Tina, ducking and dodging the big broom, trying to get the giant woman's attention.
When she finally does, Mrs. Hernandez puts her hands to her mouth as she realizes that it was a tiny person she was trying to smash. She reaches down and picks up the tiny girl and holds her up close for a better look. Her eyes widen.
"I knows you," she says in broken English. "Yous be that girl who talk all the time, always making up things 'bout people. Yous no right. No good girl."
"Please you have to help me! There's a guy in that room! He has this thing that made me shrink like this. He's gonna hurt me! Please you have to help. Please." Tina pleads to the Mexican giantess.
Mrs. Hernandez shakes her head, "I don't believe what you tell me. No, I know how yous get like this. Yous get like this cause you bad girl. Talk, talk, talk, talk. Lie all the time! That why you small now. Somebody put curse on you. I see it before in my country long time ago. Someone get small like you. Too much talking. Lying. That you. So now, I take you with me. Yous mine now." she says.
"No, no please. Help me!" Tina pleads.
"No, yous gonna help me. Learn a lesson. I get home, you rub my feet. They always very tired. Yous make them feel better." The giantess smiles at her tiny captive. "Yous gonna make them feel real good for me or yous gonna get punished, yes?" Then she stuffs Tina in her pocket and continues sweeping.
You shut the door and take a deep breath. You were just spared a lot of guilt, but then you think of what Tina will be facing soon. Maybe stepping on her would've spared her in the long run.
Then you have another plan.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
