This choice: Suzy shrinks or captures you • Go Back... It's funny: right as you're just beginning to come to terms with your dimensions as a tiny man trapped in a world of giants, your friend Jess becomes shrunken too. All of a sudden, now there's someone else who can relate to your situation. It's a shame, though, as you wouldn't want to subject anyone else to the horrors you face, staring up at the giant office ditz Suzi with her all-powerful transformation gun, but you like Jess a lot. If anyone else were sharing this experience with you, you're glad it's her.
Of course, that still doesn't help much. You start to run over to Jess, maybe to comfort her but really just to be near someone else, but before you get there you find yourself lifted up into the air. Looks like Suzi decided she wants to pick you up, and by the time you realize what's going on you're already hundreds of feet in the air, seeing the world, or more accurately Suzi's titanic physique, fly by as you're raised higher and higher in the air.
"What the hell is going on?" says a voice beside you as you start to go up. You turn and see Jess, and you wish you had a better answer. "I really don't know," you say. "We'll get through this somehow." You put your arm around her as the impromptu roller coaster comes to a halt.
"AWWWWWWW, ISN'T THAT CUTE," booms a much bigger voice, this time directly in front of you. You try to stare Suzi right in the face, but that's impossible to do: at her size, all you can do is look at her lips, her eyes, or her nose square in the middle of her face. You just don't have the capacity to view her all at once. As stupid as you think she is, she's now a lot more intimidating. "I'LL WORRY ABOUT YOU TWO LATER," she says, and she unceremoniously drops the both of you into her purse. She zips it shut, and you're encased in darkness.
"Hey Jess, you okay?" you call out into the darkness. "Yeah, I think so," she replies, "but this is so weird." You can't help but agree as you fumble your way towards where it sounds like her voice is coming from: you have no choice but to climb over a giant stick of lipstick almost as wide as you are tall, and after trying to surmount a few loose Kleenex, you decide the entanglement isn't worth it and you should better go around the side. But even in the pitch black surroundings of Suzi's giant purse, you put your arms around Jess soon enough.
"I'm sorry if I got you into this," you say. "I haven't thought anything through in a long time." "No, it's not your fault," she replies. "Suzi has gone crazy, and with that gun, there's nothing anyone can do to stop her. Don't blame yourself."
You're both frazzled by the circumstances and barely able to hold up a conversation, but you persist anyway just to keep yourselves from thinking about the horror of what's going on. Besides, all things considered, you don't mind getting to know Jess a little more. After a half hour or so, you start to realize that Suzi planned on keeping you in her purse for a while, and she isn't about to take you out momentarily as the two of you had initially suspected. Once you and Jess talk this over, your mental state shifts to staying in the purse for the long haul, and your conversation becomes less heated. Eventually it stops, and you lie against something huge and leathery, with your arms wrapped against Jess, trying to come to terms with where you are.
You awake later. You didn't even realize you had fallen asleep, and you have no idea how long you've been asleep or how long you've spent in the swinging darkness of Suzi's purse. Every so often she's moved it around, and sometimes the motion has been enough to make you feel a little woozy, but you can't hear anything from the outside world and you're otherwise completely unaware of what's going on. For all you know, it could be the end of the day.
That idea proves accurate moments later, as you feel the purse being placed on a flat surface, followed immediately by the zipper opening a world of light into your once-black domain. You and Jess both look up and squint, but you both realize almost immediately that it's Suzi's beautiful, giant and horrific face smirking down at the two of you. After looking down on you for a while, she grabs you both with one hand and pulls you out of her purse. She drops you onto the flat surface, which you see from a quick examination is a kitchen table in her small studio apartment.
"WELCOME HOME," she says in the loud voice you're still not comfortable with. You look at Jess and she seems just as terrified as you. "DON'T WORRY, YOU DON"T HAVE TO GET TO KNOW THE WHOLE AREA RIGHT AWAY. THE TWO OF YOU WILL BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME."
This whole affair sounds like a pretty bad idea, but you really can't think of a thing to do. And Suzi, standing high above you, goes on. "NOW, YOU TWO HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING I SAY. IF YOU DON'T, I'LL SHRINK YOU MORE OR TURN YOU INTO SOMETHING OR COME UP WITH SOMETHING EVEN WORSE. JUST DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY. AND I HAVE THE BEST IDEA ON WHAT YOU TWO SHOULD DO FIRST." indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
