“So, who’s next?”
“Allen Blackwood,”
“Let’s hear it,”
“Alright, let’s see here… son of Mr. Robert Blackwood and Mrs. Barbara Blackwood, also a sibling, an older brother… one Keith Blackwood. Family of four tinies. Lost both parents at ten due to a freak accident involving a giant… both kids got sent to a secluded tinies’ shelter, located just outside the city border, not very far,”
“Poor kids… well, continue,”
“The shelter, owned and managed by an elderly woman. Just a small one-story house, nothing grand. It houses many homeless and abandoned tinies in it. Unfortunately, just a few years after the two settling in, she died during an emergency treatment on the hospital… she’s been living alone and isolated there for years and no one is aware that she lives there, leaving the tinies by themselves for years…”

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Annoying alarm clock sound echoes throughout the bedroom. The twenty-year-old guy awakened from his slumber, left hand turning off the alarm clock on the table near his bunk. Blurred sight slowly recovering by itself until the familiar view of his own bedroom came to light. The usual desk with pile of books where he usually trapped himself within his own fantasy reading all those exciting stories from various literature, random posters and stickers decorating the white wall, blinding lights filling up the window.
“Allen! You up already?” a muffled shouting voice echoed from outside into his bedroom. “Get out here, some lifting needs to be done!”
Rubbing his own eyes, the guy clads in simple shirt and jeans lazily sitting down on the edge of the bed before finally stood up on the wooden floor, ready to start another day. Through the door, the usual living room with chairs and tables complete with door to the bathroom and the small kitchen area in the corner until finally he opened the main entrance to the outside...
A small village, stood atop a concrete floor. Houses made of brick and mortar specifically designed for tinies has been served as a living settlement for a group of it. Looking around, the whole village is built in one corner of the living room in this empty house. Outside the settlement, there’s furniture and various devices for normal-sized person collecting dust.
“Allen!” from the distance, a figure walks right toward Allen. Wearing just the casual getup, he’s a little bigger than Allen.
“Bro Keith, ‘sup? It’s still pretty early here,” Allen rubbing his eyes.
“Come on! You promised your big bro here to make the best party for me tomorrow! Those tents won’t built by itself, you know,”
“Hey, I know you’re getting married tomorrow, but we’ve still got all night, right? Lemme sleep a bit more…”
“I need to prepare myself with Cynthia later this evening… so we need to set everything up today, while I can help!” Keith’s excitement isn’t going anywhere soon enough, unfortunately for Allen.
“Fine! Fine… hey, does Eddy’s coffee already open? Need myself some fuel first,”
“He’s already up! Go on then, I’ll be waiting on the site, yeah?”
“Yeah, yeah…” with that, Allen walks off toward another house where a coffee shop is opened already. As morning goes on while Allen walks between houses, more people that Allen had been familiar with for years also started their day.
“Morning, Allen,” an older looking guy stood behind the counter of his coffee shop.
“Yo, Eddy,” smells of coffee filled up the air as Allen walks toward the seat on the counter. Before Allen could even ask, Eddy already provides him a glass of black coffee.
“Hearing your brother shouting like that from afar, figures you’re gonna come here for fuel,” Eddy could only laugh at the silliness of these two siblings.
“You know me too well, Eddy…” Allen took a sip of the hot beverage.
“He’s finally married, huh?”
“Yeah… even I couldn’t believe it…”
“Seeing you two grown up… how long has it been, ten years?”
“Come on, you’re sounded like a grandpa there,” Allen just chuckles. “But… really? Ten years already? Time flows fast, huh,“
“No kidding. Besides, I’m not your grandpa here, boy! I’m only seven years older than you!” Eddy gave Allen a light slap on his shoulder. “But seriously… I still remember how gloomy you two when the elder introduces you and Keith…”
“Ah… we’re already beyond that, Eddy. No worries,” bitter smile written on Allen’s face. “It’s time that we’re focusing ourselves toward the future. I just wanted a peaceful life, you know…”
“You shouldn’t just casually remind him like that, Eddy…” door opened, an elegant-looking woman joined Eddy behind the counter, probably just a bit younger than Eddy.
“Oh I’m so sorry, Jane…” Eddy realized it.
“Sorry about my husband, he’s such a motormouth,” Jane tried to cheer Allen up. “Anyway, congratulations about Keith!”
“Thanks…” Allen tried his best to smile. “It’s okay… like I said, we’re already beyond that and it’s all thanks to you two that we could stood back up to this day,”
“Morning, Allen!” another girlish voice could be heard. From behind, two arms wrapped around Allen and he knows already who it is feeling something on his back.
“Hey, Tammy,” Allen turns his head looking at the warm smile of a girl that never fails to cheer him up no matter what. The warm smile, the casual relaxed-looking dress, the true definition of sunshine in Allen’s imperfect life.
“So, when you two?” Jane, head propped on the counter looking at both Allen and Tammy, smiling giddily.
“Early in the morning? Really?” Allen groaned. Tammy just giggles while still hugging Allen from the back.
“She’s not wrong, kid. You better catch up with your brother there fast,” Eddy not being helpful as usual.
“Suddenly it’s too noisy here…” Allen jokingly walks away from the coffee shop. Cup of coffee on his right hand, Tammy’s hand on his left. Eddy and Jane could only smile watching the two, they already know how it is with Allen as they saw him leaving.
+++
In the corner of the room there is a brick. Allen and Tammy sat on top of it overlooking the whole tiny village on the floor alongside dozens of its inhabitants and their humble houses. A barely changing view of the safe haven that Allen has been a part of for years.
“Aren’t you gonna help your brother?” Tammy asked.
“Later…” Allen took a sip of his coffee. “You know the dream that I had last night?”
“Tell me,”
“We hopped on one of those tiny cars, traveling outside, embarking on an adventure,”
“I see that you never lose your adventure spirit,”
“Yeah… I guess…” Allen looks up toward the distance. The quiet, dusty living room only lightened up by the morning sun shines through the upper window. “Maybe I just miss the outside world,”
“Well… me too,” Tammy stares into the distance as well. “I miss when she took us outside for a picnic,”
“Oh, Ellen? I miss her cooking it was always tasted good; it was heavenly… wonder where she is now?”
“She was obviously ill, right? I mean, she was already pretty old too,”
“But it’s been years already…”
“You know what I love about her?” Tammy tried her best to lighten up the mood. “She always found a way to teach us on how to live by our own! To this day I’m still amazed in how she could turn all those seeds into powder-sized for us to grew tiny plants! Seriously, that’s one heck of a skill!”
“…and that’s the reason Eddy could open a coffee shop, it’s insane. Maybe she doesn’t know much about technology, but when it comes to foods and plants… she’s so experienced,”
“Ellen… we owe her a lot for providing a safe haven for us here,”
The tiny couples saw something down on the village; from afar they could see that pure white garment shines being brought by someone into a house.
“Oh, Cynthia gonna wearing it, huh?” Tammy tugged on Allen’s arm. “C’mon, Allen! I wanna see her up close!”
“Heh, okay…” Allen, finally out from his own morning drowsiness, stood up with her girlfriend and climbing down the brick…
+++
Back into the village…
Allen and Tammy entered a house. Inside… there it is, a girl wearing bridal dress. Truly a vision of timeless elegance.
“Oh my…” Allen clearly speechless, witnessing the gracefulness of her own brother’s fiancée wearing that perfectly sewn white garment.
“Cynthia… you look so gorgeous!” Tammy herself couldn’t believe it; just yesterday she was just her best friend in her usual lazy attires. But today, even if it’s only for rehearsal, what a stunning look.
“Thank you!” humble smile formed on Cynthia as she spins around letting the dress to flutter naturally. “Jane, she’s a brilliant seamstress, using that table cloth on the kitchen to make something like this, it’s perfect,”
“Keith really climbing the table for that, huh…” even Allen had to be impressed by her lazy older brother sometimes.
“See? He could be something when he’s actually motivated for it!” Cynthia had to reassure the oftentimes too humble little brother of her soon-to-be husband. “Oh by the way, you’ll be soon enough my brother-in-law, how fun is that?”
“Suddenly my adventuring spirit reignites again…” Allen, never be a boring figure in any parties.
“You wanted to escape!? How dare you!” but of course Cynthia also knows Allen pretty well with his sarcasm all the time. Heck, everyone in the village already does, they could always bounce back his jokes. “Tammy! Say something! Can’t believe you love this weird head!”
“That’s exactly why!” Tammy just leans on Allen’s shoulder, rubbing her cheek on Allen’s who’s just being jokingly stoic.
“Really, you two…” Cynthia sighed. Although, Cynthia and everyone around know that it’s best for the Blackwood brothers to be happy after such tragedy years ago. It’s never easy being an orphan in such a young age…
+++
Hours later…
Almost everyone in the tiny village is busy preparing for the wedding of Keith and Cynthia tomorrow. Tent, tables and everything, everyone provide it from their own household. Meanwhile Allen alone is busy creating something with tiny piece of papers, crafting so many paper flowers as a decoration.
“That’s gorgeous,” Eddy walks toward Allen’s spot.
“Keith need flowers, I’m providing flowers,”
“Need some help? I’m free for now,”
“Oh, you’re done already with all the coffee?”
“Shut up, you…” Eddy slapped Allen on the shoulder. “Come on, I could help,”
“Well, you could arrange these flowers around the place,” Allen could only hope Eddy stops annoying him.
“Got it!” jokingly giving a salute, Eddy grabbed a few of the paper flowers and started to walk around the area…
CLANK
A very loud noise of metal breaking could be heard throughout the tiny village. Time stood still for everyone as they dropped everything that they currently doing, nothing but silence while everyone’s eyes facing toward the wide space of the living room trying to anticipate something.
“What was that sound?” Tammy runs up toward Allen, clearly worried.
“I don’t know…” Allen’s eyes opened wide; his heartbeat steadily rises in the face of this sudden unpredictability.
Sounds of footsteps could be heard. Judging by the uneven sound of it… no, not just one. There are more than one footstep. A normal? Bunch of them? It’s been years since the tinies witnessing any normals. Their elderly caretaker disappeared one day, leaving the house locked for years. Since the house is pretty much isolated on the outskirts of the town border, no one bother to ever visiting this place miraculously…
…until today.
The footsteps grew louder, anticipation running high as nobody moves from their spot, holding their breath guessing who’s breaking into their sanctuary.
“Pretty nice place!” girlish voice echoes throughout the empty house. A girl?
“How do you know this place anyway?” another girlish voice. There’s more than one then.
From the left side of the living room, four towering figure emerges right in front of the tiny village. It’s been a long time for the tinies since they saw a normal-sized person which is their own caretaker before her disappearance and now to see them all four at once… intimidating, breathtaking, so overwhelming. Their towering figure is bigger than anything that they could build. Observing them thoroughly, their looks suggesting they’re probably still in early college years, added with all of their youthful fashion of choice; short jeans, short skirts, tanktop, hoodie, the black and white sneakers, colorful boots… interestingly enough, one of them seems to had a little belly pooch in her, clearly visible beneath her tanktop.
The silence is deafening inside the tiny village, they didn’t even know what to react as everyone is clearly on alert. Despite the pure beauty of these four college girls, it’s their enormous size that made them taken aback and also worried. As if it’s not enough… one of the girls turned around and her eyes widened, seemingly noticed the tiny village below on the floor near one corner of the living room.
“Hey, look!” the girl pointed at the tiny settlement below. The other girls immediately turn their heads and sure enough, they’re look surprised by the existence of it.
“No way… tinies live here?”
“Those tiny houses… so cute!”
The four of them walks closer until they stood right near the border of the settlement. Some tinies stood close to it; the sight of the boots that one of the girls wears, even the tip of it already bigger than most of the tiny houses inside the village. Some tinies already running back inside to their houses, clearly terrified by the massive girls stood high above them.
“Allen,” Keith approaches her little brother and Tammy. “Remember the secret escape path? Just in case something happened,”
“I know… the trapdoor inside your house, right bro?”
“Right, who has the key?”
“Our village leader,”
“Where is he?”
The two tinies looks to the left and they saw the village leader himself… currently walking forward to the direction where the four giant girls stood.
“What is he doing?” Allen looks confused.
+++
“Zoe, one of em is approaching you!” one of the girls noticed a tiny walks right toward Zoe’s boot.
“You wanna talk, little one?” Zoe crouches down, the youthful-looking girl paid attention to the tiny guy below her.
“G-greetings! I’m the village leader here,” the village leader tried to compose himself looking at the mountain-sized girl crouching on top of him. It’s such an insane view after years of never seeing one. Those boots, short pants and sporty sleeveless, she’s such a beauty, just like the other three as well.
“Oh you’re the leader here? May I know if this house has an owner? I heard rumors around that it’s abandoned…”
“Well… here’s the thing; she’s… disappeared. One day she was leaving and just… never came back,”
“Wait, really?” Zoe tilts her head. “For how long?”
“Years already, we’re kinda lost count,”
“Oh… poor thing…” concern written all over Zoe’s face. Stood straight back up, Zoe turns her head to the three other girls. “Maybe we could help them,”
The three girls nodded happily. Somehow the atmosphere finally eased up after the intense silence earlier. Murmur could be heard among the tinies seemingly relieved and excited by the prospect of four girls helping them after years of struggle in survival.
“They wanted to help?” Tammy seems excited. “Seems fun, they all looks so beautiful too!”
“Agreed…” nearby, Eddy nodded in the most reassuring of expression. Then Jane slapped the back of his head. “Ow!”
“They may be thousand times bigger than me, but I bet you they won’t reach my level for you! Hmph!” tone of jealousy in Jane’s words there.
“New caretaker… four of them?” Allen could only wonder what surprise awaits him with these four girls as their new caretaker.
Zoe turns her attention back to the tiny village leader below her. She hovered her right foot above him and…
BOOM
The loud sound of a boot hitting the concrete accompanied with subtle crunching sound echoes throughout the living room, silencing everyone on the whole tiny village. Murmur of relief turned into confusion and shocks.
“We’ll helping you… in putting you out of your misery being a tiny,” sinister smile replaces the cheerful one on Zoe’s face. Raising her foot back up just out of curiosity, nothing but crushed remains of the gummy bear-sized village leader, a squished body in the pool of blood on the floor. He didn’t stand a chance. Some tinies close to where Zoe’s foot landed immediately screamed in terror at the scene of gore in front of them. “Oh my god, Laura, I crushed him!”
“Let me try it too!” Laura, just as fashionable with her hoodie, short jeans and sneakers, hovers her right foot above about three unsuspecting tinies who’s still confused by the sudden change of the girls’ behavior before she let gravity do the rest. Another three tinies squashed flat with little resistance under her sneakers. The sensation of whimsically snuffing out a bunch of helpless tinies beneath her shoe never fails in giving her a thrill, the feeling of power that she had over these puny lives. “Hee hee… weak as always…”
Two attempt of murder is enough to send the whole tiny village into frenzy as everyone scatter. Some hiding in tiny houses, others just being a headless chicken not knowing where to go considering they’re pretty much already cornered by these four gigantic beauties.
“HEY!” Zoe noticed two tinies running through both her and Laura, impressively caught them off guard by running between their towering legs. “Anna! Jamie!”
“We saw ‘em,” behind Zoe and Laura, there’s the two girls, Anna and Jamie, surprisingly prepared for it already as their barefoot lands indiscriminately toward the two fleeing tinies. Their titanic weight proves to be no match for the two college girls as their bodies easily pop underneath the enormous amount of flesh.
+++
Pandemonium doesn’t enough word to describe what Allen currently saw from his hiding place behind a house alongside Tammy. What everyone thought of this being just another day in their mundane life as tinies suddenly took a turn for the worst. People running back and forth in panic trying to avoid the wrath of these four gigantic girls, horrified screams filled the air especially after six of their fellow tinies being unceremoniously flattened under the girls’ sole.
Allen trying to think the way out of this predicament. He remembered what Keith says earlier about the secret trapdoor, but the key was on the village leader… or at least what’s left of him. As if the whole whiplash isn’t already overwhelming enough, Allen heard sobbing noise near him…
“Tammy?” turning his head, Allen noticed the frightened face of Tammy, closing her mouth, colors drained from her face.
“Allen… I’m… I’m… scared…” Tammy sound hopeless. Gone the casual cheerfulness, she’s clearly scared by what currently happened here.
“Look, there’s a way out of here, I just need to-“
“EDDY!!” a woman scream could be heard. Peeking from behind the wall, Allen saw Jane looking ahead… it’s Eddy, pinned beneath a barefoot toe.
“I caught one here!” the giant girl trapped eddy under her huge toe. “Jamie, you wanna do something with this one here?”
“Oh I know, watch this!” the other giant girl stood in front of the one trapping Eddy. To the shock of both Allen and Jane, her big toe met the other girl’s. Between it, Eddy’s tiny body squeezed tight, the pressure slowly rises to unbearable level that Eddy started to scream in pain. Suddenly, the two toes moves forward at the same time, Eddy’s frail body couldn’t handle the gigantic pressure that his body caved in and flattened between the toes. Blood poured out from his mouth before his lifeless body dropped to the ground as the pressure eased.
“NOOOOOO!!” Jane fell on her knees, witnessing the gruesome sight of her husband being smothered. Allen is speechless, his eyes open wide in disbelief realizing he had just lost one of his close friends for years. Looking behind him, Tammy looks ill, she seems nauseous looking at the brutal scene unfolds.
“Weak, as always,” the giant girl seems disappointed. “That’s what they are in this world; an easy prey,”
“What, you want them stronger or something?” the other girl just joking around, even when knowing he had just ended another tiny’s life.
+++
Zoe noticed about three tinies running for cover inside a house. Pathetic, she thought. Those tiny brick and mortar made house isn’t even much bigger than her own boot. At least she had to admit, whoever helped them in building something like this is pretty impressive. But oh well, in the end she doesn’t care about this as she hovers her right foot above it and…
CRACK
Barely any resistance, her boot burst through the tiny house like biscuits until everything completely flattened. Slight crunching sound could be heard, probably the three hiding tinies earlier.
“Man, they never build it any stronger,” Zoe sighed, seems disappointed at it.
“What’s that near your boot?” Laura noticed a tiny near Zoe’s boot, unmoving despite the carnage around the village. “You’re not moving, little one?”
+++
“Jane!” Allen shouts as loud as he could, but Jane didn’t budge, still paralyzed on her knees. Just to make things worse, Allen saw the giant sneakers hover above her, engulfing Jane under the shadow. Much to Allen’s nightmare, the sneakers began its descend toward her while Jane, tears running down her face could only look up in horror at the sole of the sneaker already stained by the crushed tinies earlier.
“Dammit!” Allen decided to run toward her, maybe he could help her in time but suddenly, someone hold her right hand tight, denying his attempt to rescue. “Keith!? Let me go!”
“No! It’s too late!” Keith held Allen’s arm real tight.
“She’s gonna…!” too late, Allen could only look in horror at the sneakers coming down at the high speed, first crashing right into Jane’s face, smashing her head into pulp before the rest of the sneakers settled firmly on the ground, compressing her completely into nothing but red stain beneath the sole.
“NO! JANE!” Tammy witnessed everything, she felt sick already by the massacre of her fellow tinies.
“Seriously! How the fuck did they could survive alone like this is beyond me,” the giant girl could only twist the knife on every surviving tinies below.
“Allen! Listen! ALLEN!” Keith tried to snap her little brother out from the shock. “Look, I’m gonna get the key from the village elder there. Cynthia already in her hiding, you and Tammy better find a safe place too! Okay? Go! GO!”
“Wait! Keith!” Allen tried yet no avail, he’s already gone. “Dammit! Tammy, follow me!”
Allen and Tammy run from their hiding spot, quickly scanning around the surviving houses where Allen saw about two tinies already get inside one of them.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Suddenly, one of the giant girls got down sideway. First her right thigh crushing Eddy and Jane’s house beneath, then her side torso flattens the house where the two tinies was hiding until finally her right elbow smashing one more house into pieces, head propped while facing both tiny Allen and Tammy in front of her.
“Hey there!” her smiling face isn’t enough to ease the fear from both Allen and Tammy. “You think you could get away?”
“You actually trying to speak with them, Anna?” the one with a bit plump body suddenly sits down on the floor, her gigantic butt bulldozed one more house flat.
“Dammit, Jamie! At least I can be nice to one of them before they’re perished!” hearing Anna’s playful tone didn’t make it any better for both Allen and Tammy below. “I wonder though… where’s your house, little one?”
While Allen didn’t want to tell, his head instinctively look at his house.
“Oh, this one? Nice house you got there,” Jamie noticed it, her right hand pointing at the house close to where she’s sitting. Nonchalantly, Jamie balled up her fist and smashed the tiny house into nothing. Her callous face shows no remorse at all as she reduced it all into flattened rubble, nothing left standing beneath her fist, all lay in ruins.
“Jamie! Really?”
“What? They’re gonna die anyway, right?”
Allen could only watch helplessly as everything happened in an instant. His heart froze, everything he owned, every happy memory in there with her girlfriend Tammy, her brother Keith and everyone else for years… all nothing more than a rubble now. The realization made him nauseous, his head spins uncontrollably, his breathing quickened. Tammy isn’t so much better; she’s just horrified by the acts of these heartless giants.
“LET HER GO! CYNTHIA!”
Hearing his brother’s voice, Allen turn his head to see his brother shouts to a giant girl in front of him. The giant girl got something dangled on her right hand… Cynthia!
“Big bro! Look out!” Allen saw the other giant girl approaches him but it’s too late, she snatched Keith off the ground as well.
+++
“She’s so pretty… is that a wedding gown?” the giant girl observes her catch; a terrified girl struggling trying to break free from the grip of her captor. “Look at this, Laura!”
“I saw him screaming earlier, is that his bride, maybe?”
“Oh, are they gonna get married? And we’re here... Oh my,” Zoe feigned concern, her hand still dangling the tiny bride by her dress. “Aw, I feel bad now…”
“You feel bad just now after all of this?” Laura can’t believe it while feeling the struggle of tiny Keith in her right hand.
“Hey! You know what they say, respect for the-“ suddenly, the table cloth-made gown ripped until Cynthia just freefall from Zoe’s grip. Tiny scream could be heard before she finally hit the floor, blood splattered immediately after such hard landing.
“…dead,” Zoe seems surprised, yet keeping her bland expression.
“Oh look what you’ve done… he’s distraught now…” Laura noticed the tiny in her hand thrashing uncontrollably shouting whatever.
“You two are just… damn,” Anna and Jamie approached the other two girls, each with a tiny in their hand; Anna got Allen while Jamie hang on Tammy. “Looks like these two are what’s left, everybody else are done. Oh well… hey! Let’s play a game! See this tiny fella here? He’s the girl’s boyfriend over there!”
“Oh I understand your intention already…” Laura presented Keith on the palm of her hand, side by side with Jamie who holds Tammy on her hand.
+++
The downward spiral never stops, everything crumbled before Allen. His friends, his home, his village… all gone in just a few minutes. The roaring hurricane that is the four giant college brats here swept away everything that he holds dearly for almost ten years. As if it’s not enough, he’s not prepared when both giant girls near him grabbed both him and Tammy separately before they walk toward their other two friends.
Now what? They’re going to play a game, Allen heard. How long is this agonizing pain would last? Allen felt her body squeezed between fingers, forcing him to look ahead where two hands from the two giant girl holding Keith and Tammy each.
“So… simple enough, seeing you’re together with her, I would assume she’s someone special to you, right? I wonder… how strong is your love to her. Let’s put a little test in that! LOOK at the one you wanted to dispose… this random tiny, or this girl?”
The twisted game started; Allen could hear shouts from across him. There’s Keith who seems to shout something at Allen and there’s Tammy on the other hand just terrified by the whole predicament.
“Allen! Listen! You need to escape this place! Save her! Please!” Keith’s voice caused Allen to look at him.
“Ah, of course… you chose him, huh? You know your priorities…” Laura noticed where Allen look.
“WAIT! NO! I DIDN’T MEAN… DON’T!” Allen helplessly screamed which of course went unheard for the tiny girls above him.
Slowly, Laura curled up her hand. She could feel the tiny guy couldn’t withstand her effortless strength as giant fingers squished him. Crunching sound is all that’s left as blood pours out from Laura’s hand.
No, Allen couldn’t even shout anymore. Anger, sadness, shock, everything blends inside him as everything just happened too fast for Allen to fully comprehend, his eyes opened wide, couldn’t even stop himself from shaking by the realization that his brother is no more...
In an awkward silence, Jamie’s belly began to growl…
"Man, I’m hungry now,” suddenly, Jamie lifts her hand up, lifting Tammy up until she’s met with her gigantic face.
“NO, TAMMY! STOP THIS! PLEASE!!” Allen had it. He had just done with the game yet unfortunately these girls never had any intention to play it fair with him.
“ALLEN! HELP!!” Tammy’s struggles increase as Jamie raise the tiny girl up to her mouth. The maw wide open, the screaming never stops. Just like that, Tammy dropped into the giant girl’s mouth, Jamie savors the taste of her prey while showing the tiny girl one last sight of the outside world… before the lips closed. All hopes of escape are gone, humid darkness is all that’s left for Tammy and before long, the tongue tilted, sending her on the one-way trip…
+++
“Dammit, Jamie! We were supposed to spare the girl!” Zoe just joking around now.
“Sorry… I’m just really hungry…”
“Well, at least maybe I could help the tiny guy here to hear her lover one last time,” Anna with her mischievousness brought Allen toward Jamie’s belly pooch and shoves the side of his head into it. Still froze in shock, Allen couldn’t do nothing but helplessly listen to the muffled growl from the other side of the squishy belly. While he could probably hear nothing significant anyway, his fear made his own mind manifesting the imaginary scream of his girlfriend, being trapped inside there alone waiting for her turn to be digested into nothing…
“Don’t worry, little guy. Now she’s a part of me!” Jamie being cheerful doesn’t help much of course. “So… maybe I could be your girlfriend now,”
“You? With a tiny? Really?” Zoe didn’t approve that one.
“What about him? He’s the last one, should I crush him?” Anna still had Allen grasped between her fingers.
“Hmmmm… nah, let him. We need at least one toy to keep ourselves occupied, eh?”
“Sounds good! Well, here you go, little one,” Anna gently put Allen down on the floor, right in the middle of the ruined tiny village.
“Okay! Let’s check this whole place! Maybe we could make it our holiday cabin!” Zoe led the way as everyone else followed her to the other parts of the house…
There stood Allen. Alone, quiet, sounds of footsteps fading away in the distance. Rubbles of the place once he called home is all that’s left, nothing survived the massacre. Sight of flattened buildings and dead bodies, everything happened in just a few minutes. It was supposed to be a happy day ahead for him and his brother…
Then he remembered his brother’s last words; escape this place.
What for?
He had nothing left.
The plan of him and Tammy to explore the outside world…
Nothing he could do… if that’s what his brother wanted him to do, so be it. Approaching where the village leader was… there’s the mangled body, flattened underneath those giant boots. Trying his best, Allen search for the key from the clothing remains and thank goodness he found it. Walking toward the designated house, or what’s left of it, where the trapdoor placed, he unlocked it and there it is, a secret tunnel to the outside of the house.
+++
Allen finally escaped, but at what cost?
Years of peaceful lives, gone in the blink of an eye.
Drained, soulless, lost. Tiny Allen just walks through the backyard until he’s out. That’s all he could do… alone and helpless with nowhere to go, Allen could only walk despite still pretty much shaken by the whole thing. Uneven breath, everything spins around inside his mind… then he dropped on all fours, letting it all out. Screams of unfairness, regret and helplessness as he cried loudly, feeling everything all at once hitting him on the inside. What should Allen do now? Despite his own brother wanted him to save himself, then what? No place to call home anymore, no friends left… What’s his purpose in this world now as a powerless tiny who couldn’t even defend his own settlement from a bunch of brats? This goes on for minutes before he decided to continue his walk…
The tiny lonely lost soul could only carry his own body to the direction of the small town of Riviera…
