This choice: Tsuzuri examines the petri dish city under a magnifying glass! • Go Back...Chapter #6Examined up close by a high school girl by: Ninten   Tsuzuri arrived in the school's lab and placed the petri dish on a large black desk made for conducting experiments. The people of the palm-sized civilization were thankful their entire city wasn't at an angle anymore.
The giantess rummaged through a few drawers around the room, searching for something in particular. Finally she pulled out what she was looking for, a magnifying glass!
"Now... I can see what all those little black dots are..."
Tsuzuri walked towards the petri dish, holding the magnifying glass up to her eye with her black-gloved hand. She popped the lid of the dish off and placed it to the side. This allowed the first wave of fresh air in days to flow into the city. At their size, it basically altered the entire atmosphere, and the climate quickly changed from a rather muggy 75°F (24°C) to the clear and chilly 67°F (19°C) of the school's air-conditioned lab.
The high school girl sat down at a chair and scooted towards the lab table. She peered through the looking glass onto her new treasure. What she saw surprised her, though she didn't show it on her face.
An entire city, with homes, windmills, apartments, movie theaters, restaurants, skyscrapers, and parks, not to mention the surrounding area of the city, all contained within a plastic dish not even four inches in diameter. Tsuzuri focused on the little moving specks. Just as she suspected, they looked like people! People she'd see every day, not aliens or anything, normal humans, just extremely tiny!
A smile appeared on the girl's face. "Hello little ones."
She could see the thousands of people react to her words, many stopping what they were doing and staring up at her. A lot of people covered their ears, seemingly hurt or surprised by her words.
"Am I... too loud?" she asked. Never in her life had she considered herself 'too loud'. In fact, she was always told the opposite.
The many people littering the streets gave her a responsive head nod or thumbs up. Some were waving their hands and jumping up and down, seeming to want her attention.
"How did you all get like this? Were you all always this small?" she said in a softer tone.
Some looked to be shouting something at her, were they upset? No matter how close she put her ear, Tsuzuri could only barely make out a faint buzz from the city below, no exact voices.
In her mind, she was ecstatic over this magnificent find. The school idol wondered what to do with this amazing discovery.
"A whole civilization of tiny people..." Leaning back in her chair, Tsuzuri Yugiri felt a sense of power she never had in her life prior. She wondered how to deal with this newfound sense of responsibility.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
