I paced around my room, panicking over my actions. I created a giant that was now on the loose. Who knew what kind of damage he could do at that height. I glanced at my window to see if Brain had come back for some reason: No luck. I went to my bed with the remote at hand as I took deep breaths to calm myself. There was an odd silence not only in my house, but in the neighborhood itself. It was as though Brian's growth never happened at all. It certainly gave me a lot of time to think about what to do next. The rational part of me told me that I should fix this situation, but it was much easier said than done. There was no way for me catch up to him, even if he left tracks for miles on end.
I looked at the remote when a crazy thought occurred in my head. Perhaps....I could some-how forget this entire incident? My mind screamed and rejected the thought at first, but I eventually warmed up to the idea. Brian's growth was going to be noticed by public and more notably, the government and military; something I wanted no part of. I was lucky enough that Brian or anyone else didn't know how he grew. Besides, whatever Brian did was on him. I didn't tell him to cause any damage or causalities that might occur during his time as a giant. As crazy as it sounded, I firmly believed at that point that I could somehow forget this ever happened and get back to a normal schedule.
With that belief in my head, I casually tossed the remote onto the bed as I got up and took another deep breath. I was now ready to go through the day, even if it started out a bit crazy. I got out of my room and looked to see if my mom and Matt was awake. Not surprisingly, both were awake. They saw me and asked me if I was aware of the 'earthquake' that had happened. I shook my head and lied that I just woke up just like them. My mom went downstairs as did my brother to check outside. I followed them, forgetting about the remote altogether. My brother went outside with coat in hand while my mom turned on the tv to change it to the news.
I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to forget about Brian or what was happening to him as my mother gasped and yelled to come look at the television. I listened and look at the television. Just as I feared, there was Brian on the big screen. The footage was being shot from a helicopter by a local news group. They kept their focus on Brian's upper half, from chest, obviously trying to avoid showing his naked parts. My brother soon came in and said that there was a massive crater in the middle of the road. He soon looked at the tv and liked my mother, their jaws dropped. My mom seem even more in shock as she uttered, "Is that....Brian?"
The news reporter tried his best to communicate, but it sounded more like random commentary and rambling than anything else. Brian's expression put the final nail in my guilt coffin as he was obviously confused, frustrated, and embarrassed. He was walking naked in front of thousands and perhaps soon to be millions of people as a giant, so it was completely understandable. I, like my family, was staring at the tv when-
