"Eh!? What do I got to lose?" You shrugged. "Alright little guy, I'll get you out of this. But in exchange you have to help me get back to normal, okay?"
You didn't really know if the insect in question really understood what you were saying, but it helped to have someone, anyone to talk to in your current state.
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
You actually blinked. Did this bug just respond back? Holy cow this bug was trying to communicate with you. Nervously you stepped forward and reached out your hand.
Were you seriously going to try and pet a gnat?
Apparently as you rubbed your hand against it's smooth... whatever the hell insects have.
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
"You're just like a little puppy aren't you?" You teased as you continued to rub the gnat. It would seem the little guy likes you. That was good. He, she, it? You'll just say 'he' for now, knew you weren't a threat. "I always wanted a pet. I wonder what I should name you though?"
That was a good question? What did someone name a gnat?
"Hmm? I think I'll call you... Frank. Yeah that's it. Frank'll do. How does that sound?"
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
"Glad you like it." You smiled. With the naming situation out of the way it was time to get to work. "Alright. Let's get you out of this."
Unlike Frank, you hand hands and could actually get a grip on the fibers. Also unlike Frank, you had teeth. After quickly outing your pearly whites to work you were able to rip the carpet prison to shreds.
"There. That should do-- WOAH!" You shouted as you felt yourself rise from the ground. Apparently Frank wasted no time in honoring your arrangement. You held onto franks neck for dear life as faster than you could blink, you were taking off. "Woah buddy, slow down!"
Frank seemed to get the message and came to a halt. Once he did you were able to regain your bearings and take a good look around. Your jaw nearly dropped at the sense of scale. You were so high up, riding the back of a gnat.
"This. Is. Awesome!" You cheered. "Holy shit! If I get back to normal, no one is gonna believe this."
*BUZZ*
*BUZZ*
"Right. Right." You breathed. "Okay, Frank... Let's go!"
