The shock of the size change is less severe this time, but you’re still blind and disoriented by it. When you regain your vision, you see an apparently endless plain of white stone or plastic, extending in all directions. The surface is smooth, and the sky above it is a hazy, yellow-grey. Enormous dark shapes hang in the distance, as large and indistinct as far-away mountains. You realize that two of these shapes are Jen’s sandals. They look more like geological features than articles of clothing.
The machine had already been set to shrink its target by a factor of about 80, and the repeated exposure now put you at about a third of a millimeter in height. Of course, you were in no position to make this estimation yourself.
You feel tremors through the ground as one of these shapes begins to grow. To get closer. You’re stomach sinks as you realize Jen is coming toward you.
Her watch as her planetary legs approach, her footsteps alone causing the ground to lurch and shudder beneath you. You are entirely immobilized by the quaking and are left to helplessly stare up as her slender foot eclipses the light and comes thundering down, faster than anything that size should travel.
It lands with an intense impact, nearly killing you with the shockwave alone. You lie between her slender toes, in a narrow valley made of toe flesh. Before you have much time to process the sight, Jen lifts her foot again. Your dust particle body is carried along with it, buoyed by the wind generated by Jen’s moving foot.
For several moments you are left to dangle in the air, disoriented and confused, before you slam into a firm surface.
Looking around, you notice the fleshy whorls and grooves that adorn the sticky, doughy ground. You’re also struck by the intense, sour, unmistakable aroma.
You’re on one of Jen’s toes.
