This choice: Heather points the gun at herself • Go Back...Chapter #5Bigger, Badder Heather by: Lelouch   Unable to hold herself back any more, Heather eagerly pointed the gun at her own temple. Of course after making sure she didn't make the same mistake the speck of dirt did. Good thing too, in all the commotion the device was set to Shrink again. Heather smirked as she turned the dial back to growth, and while she was at it she messed around with some other settings too. "Now it's time for this school to see who really runs it!" She fired.
For a moment it looked as if nothing was happening. She was no taller than she ever was, then it started. It started off very slowly she saw, in the span of a minute she gained a foot or so. But if Edna's increasingly rapid shrinking was any indication, soon she'd be growing much, MUCH faster. "I wonder how big I'm going to get." Heather smiled. Confidently she turned to the school's entrance and started to walk. Behind her was silence. Usually her two friends always tailed her but with all that happened they must've vanished in the commotion. For the best really, they didn't deserve to be at Heather's side anymore. No one did.
In the short walk to the door Heather was almost ten feet high and had to bend over to fit out. Once she raised her head to her full height she was already too big to go back in. The growing girl kept walking until she stood in the heart of the school's front field, a solid twenty feet from the building itself at least. Or as Heather now saw it: three steps. She was now the same size as the thirty-foot tall building and soon even that would be nothing. The giantess stood proudly, chest puffed out, hands on her hips, legs spread apart, and allowed herself to continue expanding. Already some windows in the school were opening, chock full of students staring dumbfoundedly at the girl growing before their very eyes. She now looked down at the building that was only waist high; still growing, still smiling. The amazed shouts of the puny humans was already too small for her to make out. Speaking of puny humans, Heather broke her pose to glance at her palm. The microbe that was Edna was nowhere to be seen. "Enjoy spending the rest of your life living on my palm twerp!" The giantess laughed and resumed her triumphant stance.
Soon enough Heather stopped growing, much to the awe of everyone who saw her. The school that once dwarfed her now was only as high as her feet, and barely twice as wide. Her legs that were spread apart now set her massive pedicured soles on either end of the building, with her sandals blocking the roads. She had to have grown to several hundred feet tall. Certain she'd finally finished her ascent Heather bent over and ripped the roof from the school. Against her massive fingers it offered no resistance. Her fist clenched, splitting the structure in half which she then used to block off the two main entrances to the building. Now all the puny people who were dumbfounded to leave were trapped. Heather's face loomed over the entire building as she finally spoke. "Hello puny bugs. Notice anything different about me?" Their responses were irrelevant though the terrified squeaks forced the giantess to stifle her laughter. "I'm sorry to have to say I'm done with this school. In fact, I'm done with being an ant like the rest of you. I'm off to bigger and better things. But before I do that, I want to play a game. For old time's sake."
"In five minutes I'm going to stomp on the school. Just once though. I won't destroy the whole thing in one stomp. So at least half the school will be safe. The other half...Well you know how it goes. You have five minutes to pick a side of the school. If you're lucky, you won't get crushed." Heather giggled, "Oh, and the five minutes started when I was explaining the game. You have four minutes."
Seeing all the little ones scurry was a lot of fun in itself. Though they were dreadfully predictable. Naturally everyone went for the entrances which Heather already blocked off with rubble. Then they went for the lesser known exits. It was a delight to let them get almost there before Heather used a single finger to completely collapse the room, sealing off another door. Three or four doors later there were no more exits and everyone ran everywhere. "Run run little ants, you only have a minute left!" Heather inhaled deeply and blew everyone off their feet. Flat on their backs everyone saw her rise to her full height and start to raise one flawless foot over the school. Their sky was now blocked by the filthy, white sole of her eager sandal.
"Ten seconds~" Heather sang, beginning a countdown. "And Three...Two..." Many people thought they were clever by going the side opposite where Heather's foot hovered. They were idiots. In an instant Heather's foot switched sides. "One!" She stomped as hard as she could. So many students crushed underfoot like the bugs they were. Heather closed her eyes and imagined all the annoying people she hated. Mean, annoying teachers. That stupid principal Lindley. The violent punk Trish. All now stains on the bottoms of her sandals. She just wished she could see their remains on the bottom of her foot but there was no way to distinguish one crushed tiny from another.
"Congratulations to all you tinies who live to see another day!" Heather smiled as if she didn't just crush a horde of people beneath her gigantic soles. "I think you guys deserve a reward for that!  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
