You decided to head to town and visit the local supermarket, Jiffy Mart. You pulled your wallet out of your back pocket and thumbed through it, making sure you had at least enough cash to buy some groceries. Eh, a hundred bucks after paying down the rent to your small home, and you had to keep it all together until next payday, so you decided to keep splurging to a minimum. You got in your little beat-up car, revved the engine, and you were out of the driveway, waving up at your titanic neighbors as you drove down the street.
"Hey there Al!"You heard Reggie's thunderous, upbeat voice call down to you with your least favorite shortening of your name. You looked up, and couldn't even see past her ankles today. There were too many clouds in the sky today."Uhh...hey Reg!"You shouted up in reply. She followed back with her signature howling laughter. You took it that she was in at least a good mood today, but you didn't know, she was always laughing, a hyena thing. You drove by Lalonde's home next, but it appeared she wasn't anywhere in sight. You wondered where she could be? The sheep girl was such a socialite, she was always out around the neighborhood, chatting it up to whomever would stand her bleating.
As you left the neighborhood behind, you simply went into a casual driving stance, one had on the wheel, the hanging out the window. You began to survey the area around you. For the most part, it was empty flatlands. When the anthros arrived years ago, a good majority of the planet had been terraformed to massive fields of grass to keep the godlike creatures from crushing anything underneath. It was for the better, a single anthro alone could level entire mountain ranges with their toes alone. With their highly advanced technology, though a culture quite similar to humankind, each race quickly adapted to one another. Space-defying buildings were set up that were bigger on the inside than the outside, or vice versa. Roadways for humans were made, and walking paths for furries were set up as well. Overall, it was quite peaceful. Though, there were troublemakers on both sides. On the humans, you had the anti-anthros running about, claiming that they were just monsters that were waiting for the perfect time to kill and enslave us all. On the anthro side, you had the terrorists who believed humans were nothing but vermin to be crushed and or enslaved. You shuddered a bit as you drove, remembering a news story about one particular anthro terrorist that demanded ransom for some captured humans, was denied it, and she decided squish all of New York City under her foot. That was in the earlier years, back when relations were rough. The criminal had been caught, the city already rebuilt bigger and better, but the shock of all those lives just simply vanishing never went away.
You shook your head from memories and returned to your driving, the small town of Coalton Shores just up ahead. It was always boring, even with the giant animal beings around. There was nothing to do but either work in the coal mines, move away, or stay and stagnate your life. You've been hoping to move away, but you've never had the chance to stash enough money. Something always came up, and you've been stuck in your little run-down home. At least your neighbors were interesting enough.
You pulled up your car into the parking lot, choosing a nice spot right at the front beside an anthro's titanic jeep, their tire tread large enough to move landmasses if it wanted to. You got out, clicked to lock the car, and started walking. There was a nice little door there for you, and you entered the Jiffy Mart. Humans and anthros alike browsed the aisles, the humans up in the racks of products to keep from getting stepped on, and the furries around shelves holding their own equally large produce. A small turtle anthro child, barely a thousand miles tall, pointed at you just as you grabbed some chips.
"Look mommy, another one of those little toys! I want one!"
"Now son, those aren't toys. They're living beings."The gargantuan mother replied to her shelled son. He simply pouted as he walked away, eying you a little. You shrugged. He was just a kid who didn't know any better.
Once you had gathered a handful of meager groceries, you went up to the checkout counter to see a familiar face.
"Hello-o-o Betty!"You called up.
A massive wall of furred black and white turned around to greet you."Alan! It's been a while!"A southern female voice replied, though much more deeper and thunderous."Ah thought you had gone up and went to that fancier supermarket on the other side of town!"Betty brought her face down to look at you, very female in appearance, yet retaining features of a human and that of a cow. She was a bit chubby, but it added to her cute factor. She even had a nose ring like a bull's going through both nostrils.
"Nah, that place is way overpriced."You replied."Plus, my favorite cow always gives me a discount, right?"You flashed her a big grin, to which she only rolled her eyes and slightly smiled back.
Betty reared up to her full height as she took your groceries and prepared to check them, giving you a nice view of her massive breasts, or for the correct term, udders. They were snugly clad in a red plaid shirt sporting a nice bit of cleavage for her.
"Alright, there ya go, Al."She handed you your bags with amazing dexterity of her fingers, taking your money just as easily.
"No prob."You wave up at her as you leave, but suddenly...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
