This choice: Between her Pink converse shoes on the bus • Go Back...Chapter #6Living in a Grey Area by: Alina   Jess was terrified as she looked around in utter shock. On either side of her stood massive white walls, lined with some strange pink pattern above the main facade. It felt like she was flanked between ancient walls of two cities; the walls bearing the scars of years of sieges gone wrong. Scars marked up the wall with innumerable lines; smudges of dirt and earth were crammed into crevices like the walls had been raised from the earth themselves. There were just three problems with this picture. One: the walls looked like they were made of rubber, and Jess didn’t know of any city with rubber walls. Two: the ground under her feet was hard…and distinctly not earth; it looked like black rubber trenches had been dug farther than her eyes could see. Third: Jess had been on a bus to the city just a few seconds ago, not traveling to exotic cities. That was when Jess encountered the mysterious fourth thing wrong with this picture… one of the walls had begun to move! She stared in confusion and fear as the wall to her right slowly began to rise. Jess watched, affixed with terror and struck with awe, as the massive wall dripped in earth, the shallow scars along its flanks losing their earthen passengers as it bent and warped under the yield of some unknown force. As Jess followed the lifting wall with her eyes, the nature of the powerful force moving them soon became apparent, though her mind was still struggling to deal with it as the massive structure that now floated over her began to fall… With the sky falling upon her, Jess could only stare blankly at the approaching blackness as a buzzing like a thousand cicadas filled her ears….
“Hmmmmm,” Sasha exhaled as she pressed her shoulders back into the seat of the bus. She had dozed off for a few seconds, only to be awoken by her phone buzzing. Looking at the seat ahead of hers carefully, Sasha smiled inwardly to see the obnoxious woman who had been there was gone (http://static1.demotix.com/sites/default...). Maybe she got off the bus, or had gone to the bathroom, but whatever the reason, Sasha was glad to be free of her.
The phone buzzed once again, a text message was waiting for review. Sasha looked down at her phone quickly to see that it was just a text from her manager, it could wait for later. Slowly closing her eyes again, Sasha pressed the front of her left shoe into the heel of her right as she slowly began to pry it off. A quick nap was in order, and comfort was something she refused to concede on. After all, she already had to settle for a nine hour bus ride with obnoxious passengers; no one was going to tell her she couldn’t slide off her stuffy shoes and rest. Not even that bitch who had been sitting in front of her!
BOOM!
Jess screamed and jumped just in time as the colossal converse above her finally slammed into the ground. Panting, she turned around to see that if she had been even a second slower she’d have been splattered underneath the massive thing. Looking up, Jess still couldn’t believe what was happening was real as a titanic sock-clad foot slowly drifted over her.
BOOM!
As the other converse clattered to the floor, Jess’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She looked back and forth as the twin cities, now seeing them overturned and overpowered by the feet of the woman who had been sitting behind her. Jess’s mind was racing as she tried to figure out what had happened to her to leave her stranded between two shoes big enough to be cruise liners! Standing between them made her feel remarkably small as she guessed she must have only been about as big as a small ant next to these things (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ee_ouG5ksx4/Uy...(2+of+5).jpg). Looking up, Jess felt her stomach churn as she saw her sky blotted out by the white clouds of Sasha’s socks. Between the two monolithic feet, she could see Sasha reclining in her seat…asleep.
“You have got to be kidding me,” Jess moaned under her breath as she collapsed next to the massive shoe that had nearly crushed her. Looking around, she saw the next closest pair of feet seemed to be miles away, it would be a pointless struggle to get to them. If she wanted to be found, she’d have to find a way to get this sleeping giant to notice her.
FOOM!
Jess was tossed in the air as one of Sasha’s sock-clad feet slipped off the footrest and landed square on top of the shoe she was next to. Terrified, Jess looked up to see that she had already been cast under the shadow of Sasha’s foot, a cliff of cotton now casting her in shadow as the monolithic toes inside slowly wiggled once before lying dormant again. As the massive mountain of foot hung over her head, Jess’ brain finally came up with an escape plan, though she wasn’t happy about it. Staying under this massive woman’s foot was only going to get her killed, but if Jess could somehow get onto it, then maybe she could climb Sasha, or get her attention when she woke up somehow. Either way…getting closer to the titanic foot over her was going to be necessary. Slinking out from under the shadow of the colossal mass, Jess began making her way around the base of the converse, hoping to find a badly beaten up area she could use to climb. As she made it to the insole, she found just what she was looking for. A pock-marked wall of scratches and grooves made a ladder easy enough for Jess to climb. Right above it even sat the super-sized sock, which would act as another good ladder if Jess made it that far.
Gripping into the rubber wall of the converse, Jess looked up at the endless legs of Sasha Grey and felt a tingle of excitement. The situation she was in was not ideal…but it was kind of like an adventure you dreamed of as a kid. This was her beanstalk, and the giantess above would hear her; Jess just hoped that this one would be kinder than the one in the storybook.
BRRRRRRRRN!
Sasha woke with a start as her phone buzzed again. Rubbing her eyes, she looked out the window and saw that they had come to a pit-stop. Her stomach rumbled as she threw the phone in her pocketbook and stretched once again. A quick snack would help; she figured as she looked down at her feet and began reaching for her converse (http://johnrieber.files.wordpress.com/20...)….
Jess nearly got thrown off the top of Sasha’s foot when the giantess awoke. She had made wonderful progress while Sasha was asleep and had climbed all the way to the top of her foot, though now she was resting on the slope of Sasha’s toes after losing her grip. Looking up at the giantess she’s been clinging onto for the last hour, Jess finally began to swell with hope. As Sasha’s hands reached for their shoes, Jess began to wave and scream up at her. She pushed herself up from the sea of white sock and made as much noise and motion as she could to capture the attention of the sleepy-eyes giantess.
Sasha looked down at her foot as she got ready to slide them back into her converse when…
