Catching up to the Cleaning Goddess

    by: Unknown
At 1/8 of an inch tall or probably even smaller, you know
that it'll seem like miles until you get downstairs to the laundry room.
But if you don't hurry soon while Mom is in one place and it'll be easier to get
her attention you'll end up having to hide under the bed for the rest of day
because once Mom starts laundry the rest of the house gets cleaned to and
you don't like the idea of being sucked into a vaccum or being swepted into
a dustpan and tossed into the trash!

You try to think... you could just run out into the hallway and
to the stairway but it would be a waste of energy. At this size
each step is probably like a 150 foot drop to you!

You try to think... In your closet there is a vent on the ground and from that vent it is possible to look at the vent which is on the living room ceiling,
if you feel down the vent and avoided falling on the metal bars but instead slipping through them. You'd have a quick shortcut to the living room but the fall would seem like a couple of miles.... That'd kill you for sure... wait isn't there a couch directly below the vent???

You run towards your closet, running past the massive shoes that were
in rows like aircraft in a hanger. You haven't messed with this vent in years but here goes nothing...

You see the oversized vent and you step on just the ledge of it, looking down.
It had long and very wide bars to cover it up but at your size the space between the bars was like 15 feet. Looking down at the space you could see through another vent and see the couch.

Cool.

Without a second thought because time is short, you jump in between the vent bars and it seems about ten seconds pass before you pass in between the space of another set of vent bars and then your in free fall from the dark inclosed space of the vent to a light, expanse of air that surrounded you... the living room. You continued to look down as the couch got closer and closer into view and PUFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!

You hit the sofa of the living room couch that was below the vent and then you bounce high back into the air but you bounced forward!

You yell in fear as you realize you're not landing back on the couch but on the carpet floor in front of it!

THUD!

You hit the carpet ground... The air seemed to be punched out of your lungs
but you were still good. The couch and the huge carpet strands of the living room absorbed your fall...

You recover yourself immediately and brush yourself off with your hands.

"Back to business."

You stand on top of the carpet strands, going as fast as you can but at the same time keeping balance so that you don't fall in between carpet strands which were probably the size of trees. After walking around the massive monument of the living room couch and more walking through the huge expanse of carpet ahead you finally jump off the carpet strands and land with a small Thud onto hard, brown floor. You notice your position almost immediately. The hard wood floor of the kitchen. You look to the left and notice the open door of the laundry room but at the angle you were looking which was from the side you couldn't see your mom inside of it but you can hear the sounds of things being picked up. The laundry! She must be almost finished after that walk!

You quickly run as fast as you can now that your on a hard wood floor instead of having to balance on top of tree-high carpet strands. You pass through boulder sized crumbs that would seem almost invisible to the regular human eye and you notice the floor is covered by a thin layer of dust which coated your socks.

You finally make it close to the laundry room door, you notice a giant pair of tan, open toe, high heel shoes; the shoes Mom was wearing. You to the doorway of the laundry room and looked... There she was. Your mom with her beautiful black hair and shining green eyes, she was wearing a green blouse with a matching skirt that went a little below her knees and she was wearing her brown flip flops instead of the less comfortable high heels she usually wore... she's in her cleaning clothes and was definetly a massive goddess compared to me now but there was something missing... the laundry!

Your mom pushed the button to start the laundry in the washer machine and reaches for the button at the dryer as well. The result was a thundrous hum as the machines started. Then my mom turned herself using her giant feet to make a 90 degree turn to the left, towards me. The two step turn she made each caused a huge boom and a tremor.... I tried to keep my balance amazed that the weight of this giantess caused tremors with such an effortless movement!

Your mom crossed her arms.

"Now it's time to clean the kitchen."

You have the following choices:

*Pen*
1. After taking a quick break

2. She starts...

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
