Chapter #4
Jessica's "little" toe
by: okapi
Shyanne starts trembling in fear and your whole world shakes. You close your eyes and whole on tight, until the earthquake finally stops.
You open your eyes and see that everything's all right! You're still in Shyanne's hand, meaning that she didn't shrink! Maybe she can get you out of this mess now.
The fist holding you now slowly opens. It's still trembling slightly. You look up at the gigantic girl holding you and see that she doesn't exactly look relieved...
That's when you look out over the edge of her hand, out past her fingers from your position sitting in her palm. And you saw what was so troubling.
A wall. A wall that reached toward the sky and blocked out the sun, so tall you could just barely even see the top, and that's tilting your head so far back you're practically laying down. Lines similar to the ones on Shyanne's hand cover it- though they aren't exactly lines anymore for you could fit in one easily.
A child's little toe.
You and Shyanne watch in awe at the size of this person. She could see much more than you, of course and, after a few sensless words, tells you what happened.
"You must have shrank with me because I'm holding you... It's like how our clothes shrink with us- anything touching us becomes just as small in proportion..."
You still haven't said a word. Here's what's going on: You are about an inch tall to Shyanne, and she's an inch tall to the rest of the world. Which makes you incomprehensibly small. You don't even want to think about it, but you're forced to.
Shyanne then tells you a few more details about the person:
"It's a girl; she has purple nail polish on her toe. She's sitting down, so I can see just about halfway up her chest... Wait! Her clothes!"
You want to yell at her, "Who cares what she's wearing or who she even is?!?!?" However, you don't think she's listening and don't think she can even hear you.
"It's Jessica!" she finally blurts out, as though reading your mind. "No other person wears all purple every day on our block!"
Jessica. This might be a good thing. She was about 8 years old, living about two houses down from yours. She can be a pest sometimes, but she'll probably try and help if she realizes that you're there. You wonder how she didn't see Shyanne shrinking down, but there was no time for that. You had to get her attention and help!
She was playing with her other two friends, switching from jack to go fish. So they'll probably stay put for a while.
She always had a good taste in friends, but there was one thing really bad about Jessica: her ennemies. Jack, who lived right across from her and was now busy at the lemonade stand, was the biggest brat in the world. And he always seemed to pick on Jessica especially.
Now off to getting Jessica's attention! But here's the big question:
Will you make it to help Shyanne? Or will the two of you somehow be seperated??
