Tami is a new graduate that somewhat didn't fit well anywhere. She was born with a special genetic make up that meant she never grew taller than 4 foot 2 despite being 20 years old now. She was truly tiny at only 63 lbs at most, making her look like a doll to someone normal size.
Tami started her battle to find her first job as a fresh graduate but it wasn't an easy task at her size, she was mostly turned down due to that as a matter of safety, or simply because nobody took her seriously. After weeks of being rejected, she decided to try the local library. She remembered they were hiring but it was already summer break so she had her reservations as to whether they still needed someone during down time.
The local library was quite old, in fact it was the first library in her small town. It was quite rustic and most of the furniture there was antique. But the place was also quite cramped she remembered. Oh well, let's try, she thought to herself.
Tami starts her journey there a few blocks away, CV in hand, dressed as professionally as she could for her size since she could barely find anything womanly that fit her. She was bound to wear school uniforms as formal wear.
Tami reaches the library door and tries to push; the old door was heavy. I can't even open a damn door, she think to herself slightly laughing at her predicament. She turns around and leans her entire back into it and uses her legs to push back, finally making the door swing open slowly. She gets in...
As she turns around, she's faced by a tall reception desk she couldn't see beyond.
"Hello..." Tami yells, trying to get the attention of whoever might be behind that desk. Nothing..
"G..Good morning..." She tries again hoping someone would respond or hear her. Nothing...
Tami decides to tippy toe against the high desk, trying to see if anyone was behind. She puts her tiny hands on the edge of the desk and raises herself as high as she could, her eyes peaking over it, all she could see was an old computer with the screensaver playing on it. ummm she thought to herself, maybe they're on a bathroom break. So Tami decides to walk around the library a bit.
As she reaches the massive old book shelves, she could see that there was no way she could reach anything beyond the 4th shelf. "There's no way they'd give me a damn job, I can't even reach the book!" She says to herself slightly frustrated. What she didn't realise is that she had said it a bit too loudly, assuming nobody was there.
"Is that so?" Says a voice from behind the shelves.
It was the librarian, a middle aged woman. Tami froze in embarrassment as she could hear the lady walking around the shelves to greet her. The wooden floor was creaking under each step as she walked slowly towards the tiny woman, taking slow deliberate steps until she was face to face, so to speak...
"Hello, little one..." The lady says looking down as she pats the little woman on her head thinking it was a child.
"ah ummm, I'm 20 years old and I'm here for the job... Ma'am.." Tami says shyly, looking down.
"Oh dear, my apologies. I assumed..." Stated the lady. "Well I may have an opening actually since the last guy had to leave on vacation.
Tami kept her head hung looking down. She was immediately greet by this woman's gigantic shoes. oh my god, the woman was huge compared to me she thought, her feet alone were easily dwarfing mine utterly.
"As you can see..." The woman states. "There isn't much to do, so you might get bored just keeping me company.Tell me, are you good with computers?"
Tami is awakened from her trance. "Umm ermm yes Ma'am, yes.. umm here's my CV.. I've just gradu..."
She was immediately cut off. "Good! I need your help with something...follow me"
