Visions into a world where wealth decides about your measurement

This choice: Jimmy trips.  •  Go Back...
Chapter #5

Jimmy trips.

    by: Unknown
Sharp, precise pain blazes from Jimmy's ankles to his inner thighs. A damning mixture of sweat and dirt seep into his wide green eyes. The relief carried by the winds above was blockaded by the towering blades of green which also effectively impeaded Jimmy's path. Desperation collides with physical limitations. Jimmy commands his legs to continue their journey, but they simply refuse to obey. Catapulted forward by his momentum, Jimmy's face slams unforgivingly into the brown gravel below. Unable to think or act, all Jimmy could do was wait for his gruesome demise...

"Uh oh, he fell", Valerie notes mentally. "I guess it's now or never".

Valerie's hand had been forced, not only in the figurative sense either. Playfully mimicing the monotone beeping of heavy machinery, Valerie slips her right hand smoothly out from under her chin, leaving a patch of condensation in its stead. Valerie's slender fingers act as one as they cup slightly opposite her thumb. Valerie then inverts the position of her hand, completing the illusion. "The crane" cautiously, yet swiftly adjusts its position to hover directly over its target. Valerie's thumb and index finger part just enough to fit in its cargo. Then, in perfect pully system fashion, Valerie's craddled hand dropped straight downward with great speed and secured its haul. With the ants less than an inch away, the boy is hoisted toward the heavens and into safety.

Having secured the stranger successfully, Valerie wishes to examine her catch. Valerie flips her hand back to its starting point and flattened her appendages, leaving the boy exposed on her open palm. Moving her hand and its rider toward her face, Valerie gets her first good look at a member of a different social class.

The boy was covered in sod. He was no taller than one-third of Valerie's middle finger. His ripped clothes could only be described as ragged. His out of control neck length hair was full, and his bangs droup most of the way down his forehead. What really catches Valerie's attention, however, is the look of bewilderment occupying the boy's face.

"I wonder what he's thinking right about now", Valerie wonders to herself...

Without warning, two olive totem poles surround Jimmy and engulf his frame. Though tightly grasped, Jimmy's new environment is actually quite snug. His body even makes a temporary indentation in his fleshy surroundings. Swift movement surprises Jimmy, but the gusts of fresh air slipping through the cracks of his cell make it a rather pleasent one. Suddenly Jimmy's world is turned upsidedown in the most literal of ways. Jimmy roles down a soft, but bumpy and rapidly declining slope to come a stop in a hilly land of pink. A strong breeze appears from no where, preventing Jimmy from rising to his feet. Jimmy is now face to body with an attractive female giant, and he quickly concludes that her intentions can't be good.

You have the following choices:

*Pen*
1. Valerie starts a conversation.

2. Jimmy makes a break for it.

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