This choice: Within the pocket of a student, getting caught in something soft • Go Back...Chapter #4A sickeningly sticky situation by: Tisch   *FOOMPH*
Jack opened his eyes shortly after feeling himself land safely, a surprisingly comfortable and relieving experience. There wasn't much he could see, as wherever it was he was at, it was nearly pitch black. However, Jack could feel around and noticed he was on something that felt similarly to silk, yet a tad more abrasive. Squinting to maximize his vision, Jack began to make out a white-ish scrunched up piece of fabric and came to a conclusion. It was a tissue. Now understanding what it was that had made his landing so soft, Jack started to contemplate where it was he was at. He spent a few minutes thinking while at the same time wriggling around to make himself more comfortable. He was in no position to escape from his confinement, but he could at least make things more tolerable. A few minutes later, before Jack could deduce where he was at, a blast of light came from his feet. "Below me? Am I upside-down?" Jack thought. Upside-down, he was. Jack craned his head to look down and saw a giant hand making its way from the opening of light. That gave Jack an idea as to his whereabouts. It was likely he had landed in a student's pocket. Suddenly, Jack was jerked forward. His body folded up, the tissue now completely encasing him. "Oh shit," Jack thought, "I really hope they feel me."
The alert but calm presence of Jack didn't last long after he was taken out of the student's pocket. When he was unfolded, Jack hadn't been given much time to take in the new environment. In the few seconds he had to analyze the person holding him, Jack observed that it was a girl with curly brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, and freckles. He couldn't describe much more than that as the situation didn't allow him to. Because he had chosen to look at who it was that had grabbed ahold of him, Jack lost his slim opportunity to get their attention and was briefly furled back into the tissue. He struggled against the pressure from either side of him as the girl squeezed the tissue, and was relieved when it left him just a couple seconds later, but this left him with a few of a giant runny nose right in front of him. "Oh my go-"
*SNNRKK*
In the middle of his yell, Jack was thrust forward against the opening of the girl's left nostril and a glob of snot rained on him. The intense wind from the girl's exhale sent Jack flying back, having grabbed a good bit of snot beforehand. Though the nose blow itself only went on for two or three seconds, it felt like minutes to the little man in the middle of it. When it was over, Jack struggled to lift his arms out of the goopy substance covering himself and the tissue around him. He really had to pull, but when he got his arms free, Jack wiped his face clear of snot and looked up. He screamed again, the girl pulling the tissue back to her nose.
*SQUEEZE*
*RUB*
The oblivious student scrunched the tissue and pressed each end of the halved material against either side of her nose and cleaned any remaining snot from the nostrils. Only then was she finally done cleaning her nose.
Still folded up inside the used tissue, Jack had nothing to do other than pity himself in the disgustingly sticky substance he was in. He was still completely out of the view of the giant student, meaning Jack had no idea whether she would have noticed his little figure protruding slightly from the balled up piece of fabric. All he could do was hope.
In the end, does the girl notice Jack in the tissue?   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
