You stood in line, heart pounding with excitement as you clutched a glossy photo of Starlight. Annie January, was hosting a meet-and-greet, and you were moments away from getting her autograph. The line moved slowly, but finally, you were next.
Starlight smiled warmly as you approached, her radiant presence lighting up the room. "Hi there! What's your name?" she asked, her voice as kind and inviting as you'd imagined.
"Uh, it’s—" you began, but before you could finish, a strange sensation washed over you. The world around you seemed to blur and distort. You felt yourself shrinking rapidly, your perspective shifting dramatically. Panic gripped you as you dwindled down to a minuscule size, no larger than a speck of dust. The last thing you saw was Starlight's curious expression turning into one of confusion as you vanished from her view.
You landed with a soft thud on a surface that felt surprisingly firm yet slightly cushioned. Disoriented, you looked around and realized you were surrounded by enormous, towering structures. As your vision cleared, you recognized where you were—you had landed in Starlight's food, specifically on a pile of fries next to a massive burger.
Above you, Starlight sighed, clearly annoyed. "Ugh, another no-show," she muttered, looking around for the person who had vanished before her. "What a waste of time."
She turned her attention to her food, her hunger evidently overcoming her irritation. From your minuscule vantage point, you watched in awe and terror as her hand reached down, her fingers wrapping around a fry that dwarfed you in size. She brought it to her mouth, her teeth tearing through it with ease, the sound of the crunch loud in your ears.
Before you could react, she picked up another fry—the very one you were on. The world tilted as she lifted it towards her mouth. You clung desperately to the greasy surface, the smell of salt and fried potatoes overwhelming your senses. Her face loomed closer, her lips parting to reveal her teeth, white and gleaming.
With a swift motion, she bit into the fry, narrowly missing you. The force of her bite sent vibrations through your tiny body, and you tumbled down, landing on the pile of fries once more. Heart pounding, you realized your perilous situation. You needed to find a way to get her attention, but every movement risked drawing you closer to her voracious mouth.
Starlight continued eating, oblivious to your tiny form amidst her meal. Each bite was a thunderous event, her powerful jaws reducing the fries to mush. You scrambled away from her fingers as they reached for another fry, narrowly avoiding being picked up again.
Desperation set in as you tried to navigate the treacherous landscape of her meal. You stumbled and fell, landing on the sesame seed-coated surface of her burger. The scent of grilled meat and onions filled your nose, and you realized with dread that you were now even closer to her immediate consumption.
Starlight picked up the burger, her annoyed expression softening as she took a large bite. You felt the ground beneath you shift as the burger was lifted. The bite missed you, but only barely. You could see the cavernous interior of her mouth, her tongue moving the food around before she swallowed with a powerful gulp.
Frantic, you clung to the top bun, the greasy surface slick under your hands. Starlight's chewing and swallowing were deafening, the sheer scale of everything around you overwhelming. Each movement was a reminder of how insignificant and vulnerable you were.
As she took another bite, you lost your grip and fell into the burger’s contents. Trapped between layers of lettuce, tomato, and beef, you struggled to free yourself, the weight of the ingredients pressing down on you. Starlight’s chewing echoed around you, the vibrations of her eating resonating through the burger.
The next bite brought you perilously close to her mouth again, and you knew you had to act quickly. You managed to wriggle free just as her teeth closed in, dropping onto the plate below with a soft plop. Covered in condiments and bits of food, you lay there, exhausted and terrified, looking up at the enormous, oblivious heroine above you.
