The bad and stuffy smell of the livingroom carpet surrounded Danny's new size. Heavy, stadium-size feet have pounded the fabricy ground for years and they were right in front of the tiny Danny. The toes of the towering kids twitched ever so slightly to support the gigantic youths, leaning down to look over their new toy.
Danny was more than overwhelmed with this new reality that he was now just an insignificant bug to two giant young boys standing before him. Their giggles and breathing echoed above him, bracing himself ever more as Danny felt the anticipation of the boys about to grab him at any moment. Running would be pointless to Danny as he felt powerless to do anything now. All the tiny man could do was stand there, waiting grimacingly for whatever to happen next.
"I got an idea" Jake chimed in to break the tensing silence as he looked towards his little brother with a playful grin. Danny, still on the floor, looked up to the giant boys who seemed to take as much time as any excited pair of siblings would. Though the boys didn't notice too much of the foreboding sound that rang in Danny's ears, low and deep stomach gurgles rang and shook the shrunken man to the core. "How about we play hide and seek, except that who finds him gets to eat him" Jake explained with an eager, growing smile as he noted the shared enthusiasm on his brother's face.
"Cool! Yeah! He can join the others we've already ate" Young Peter got excited as he recounted the times he had others shrunken and apparently gotten eaten with his brother. He lifted his pyjama shirt to show his round, young tummy and patted it. "I could have another living in there" such innocence was heard as Peter's voice echoed down to the tiny Danny who could hardly believe what was happening. The discussion of the two boys had made Danny sick to his micro-sized stomach, questioning whether these kids even knew what happens to things that end up in their spoiled stomachs.
The shadow of Jake darkened as the boy leaned down closer to Danny. The breeze of heat coming from the colossal movement above blew downwards as it almost knocked the shaken Danny off his teeny-tiny legs.
"Ok babysitter, its time for hide and go eat. You wanna end up eaten then stay here for us to get ya. We'll give you a chance and go hide but you better hurry cause we'll count to twenty. Here, I'll take you to our room. The floor has all our toys so you got plenty of places to hide" With no warning, Jake grabs tiny Danny with his thumb and finger as he explains the game. The warm and spongy skin of the grubby boy's fingers kept Danny from falling a surely lethal height to drop as the kids sauntered over to their bedroom.
Danny tried to wiggle out in protest, trying to call out to the boys as he was carried over to their room "No! No! What are you guys doing!? You can't be serious. I was just trying to earn money by looking after a couple of kids. And now I'm going to end up as a play snack!? You can't do th-" Danny was then placed down rough on a similar floor of fabric except it stinks even more of lingering boy feet and funk. The giants showed no acknowledgement of Danny's pleas as they stood by the doorway.
"Alright babysitter, get ready to run while we count to twenty. You better watch out cause we're coming" Jake playfully warned as him and Peter turned and counted loudly. Their cruise-like feet shifted and turned till their huge heels were facing Danny. In panic, Danny ran towards the huge plains of the boys' bedroom, coming across dirty socks, toys and books. Any one of these carelessly placed objects could serve as a hideout for any miniature explorer, though previous babysitting jobs had taught Danny to never underestimate the sheer determination of children, especially hungry and playful boys. Running for his life, Danny scanned quickly to see what would be good enough to hide under.
Hearing the boys getting dangerously close to concluding their countdown, a desperate dive was made by the desperate tiny guy towards a discarded cupcake wrapper. "Two... One..." The boys turn, looking around attentively for any small movement or clues of their sneaky little prize.
