Scott woke up. The 14-year-old was still a little tired but knew he would have a hard time falling back asleep. He sat up and stretched. He looked around his small and almost windowless room. The boy's room was the basement. He used to live upstairs but had to move here a year ago. Because the basement was the largest room in the house and he needed space. Because he was huge.
He was always higher than average but had started to grow a lot more than a year ago. At first it seemed like simple puberty but in a couple of weeks he realized that wasn't the case. Because it didn't want to stop. Poor boy outgrew all his clothes in a week. It only got worse when he was almost 10 feet tall in months. This has been the case for the past year. As soon as he gets a pair of clothes that fit him, he grows them out. And he's still growing.
Now he was 18 feet tall but since the last month his feet and hands have grown a lot more than usual so he concluded that puberty growth is only just starting to begin.
There was a tape measure attached to the floor next to Scott. As every morning, he began by measuring the length of his hands and feet and his height. And he carefully wrote down the results in a booklet. He crawled to the shelf that contained the few pieces of clothing he currently owned. Unfortunately, the basement ceiling had been too low for him for several months.
There was a natural cavity under their house that was widened into a basement during construction. This made their basement oversized. The internal height was almost 15 feet. That's why the boy moved down here when he could no longer stand upright in his old room. By now, however, he had outgrown that as well.
Scott took over his other shorts and folded his blanket and put it on the shelf. The boy slept on the floor on a thick and warm rug. He had to pack his "bed" every morning to have more space in the room.
Then a loud growl broke the silence. Scott bit his lip and rubbed his belly. The other big difficulty in the boy’s life was his appetite which grew with the boy. He ate a lot of food every day. Although it didn't show up on him. The boy was skinny with long arms and legs. If his family had not received support, he would have long since taken his parents out of their fortunes.
Scott squatted at the bottom of the stairs and sighed. He didn't like to go up. Everything was more scarce for him than down there in his little nook. He kept feeling like he was in someone's way. But his stomach made him move again.
He climbed out of the cellar door and reached the hall. From there he went straight to the kitchen. He already had his breakfast on the table.
