You turn your attention to the claimant, the woman who is applying for a court order to have you shrunken down to size so that she can swallow you alive. Ever since you received the summons, you’ve wondered who on Earth would want to do this to you.
As your eyes alight on the claimant, your breath catches in your throat. You are completely caught off guard and utterly bewildered to see the pretty face of your own step-daughter, Abigail, staring back at you. Surely there must be some mistake, you tell yourself!
Abigail looks as radiant as ever, her bright green eyes sparkling with mischief as she looks at you (is this some kind of joke, you wonder?). Her long red hair cascades across her shoulders. She's wearing the same adorable cobalt blue crop top and faded jeans that she always wears when she's looking to make an impression. Her lips, resplendent in a coral pink gloss lipstick, are simultaneously fresh, heartbreakingly cute and yet alluring. You feel so guilty at the thought, yet remind yourself that you aren't related by blood. Up until this moment, you had always felt that you had a good relationship with Abigail. Without a doubt, she is the very last person you would ever have expected to see looking across at you with a curiously hungry glint in her eyes. Understandably, you feel deeply uneasy under her gaze.
The judge calls the court to order and looks at you sternly.
“This court is now in session.” she says. “You are here because the claimant has applied for you to be reclassified as food so she can shrink you and swallow you alive. You will be given the opportunity to defend yourself. I will consider both the claimant’s request to eat you and your defense carefully before I reach my verdict. My decision is final. Do you understand?"
You nod, heart racing.
The judge turns to face your claimant. “Young lady, please state your name clearly for the court.”
"Thank you your honour. My name is Abigail."
The judge nods. "And, for the record, what is your relationship to the defendant?"
"I'm his step daughter, you honour."
The judge smiles at that, amused at this unexpected turn of events.
"Well then, Abigail, please please present your opening statement to the court. Why do you want to shrink and eat your step-father?”
