This choice: Katherine, your older sister • Go Back...Chapter #3Surprise Visit From Katherine by: Alistair Stepping out into the hallway, you were once again greeted with the sight of the white sneakers, stood uncomfortably close to the wall of your habitation box. You did notice that the laces on the right one were untied, you assumed they had come loose and this person hadn’t noticed, you would have to point that out to whoever it was.
Your eyes began to travel upwards, past the white socks that came to around the mid shin, past the relatively pale skin of her legs to the bright pink skirt which flowed down to around the knees, and further up to the yellow top covering the modest swell of her chest.
Your gaze finally met with what should be a face, but instead you looked directly into the backside of a phone that was pointed towards you. You caught a brief glimpse of a green streak dyed into the long, flowing blonde hair behind the phone. You realised instantly that this was your older sister, Katherine, and began to panic, looking back towards the open door of your apartment and trying to gauge if you would be able to make it back inside before she stopped you.
“Smile for the camera Ant!” Katherine snickered as, faster than you could even turn back around to face her, her sock-clad right foot slipped out of her sneaker and stomped hard down on you, flattening you instantly. As she began to twist her foot into the ground, grinding you under the rough fabric of her socks, you fumed at the cruel treatment she subjected you to, as well as the use of your hated nickname she has called you by since you were very young.
“I hope you enjoyed the show guys, it’s been a while since we pranked little Ant, but don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll feature on the channel again soon!” She emphasised her sign off as she ended the live stream with a few hard stomps, pressing your putty-like form into the stitching of her socks as she cackled at your suffering. After signing off, you heard her sigh contentedly, although it was muffled from under the ball of her foot, before she lifted her foot and turned it over to get a look at you.
Through the one eye that was facing away from Katherine’s foot, you saw the grinning face of your older sister. Beautiful as she was, you knew her personality was anything but. She swept a strand of green dyed hair away from its loose position in front of her emerald eyes and her lips, coated in a pink lipstick, curled into a grin.
“Long time, no see bro. How have you been?” Her laughter was barely suppressed as she feigned awaiting an answer. “Not very chatty today I see, that’s fine. I know how much you love spending time with your big sister so I thought we could have some fun today? No objections? Great!”
Your view of her face was suddenly replaced with the rapidly approaching vacant sneaker she had left discarded on the floor to stomp you.
You struggled in vain to try and peel free, but it would take you a few minutes to escape the fibres of Katherine’s sock, a few minutes that you didn’t have as the opening of the shoe raced towards you. You could feel the sock pull and stretch as Katherine wiggled her toes in anticipation.
You passed the lip of the shoe’s opening and were immediately met with the hot, muggy atmosphere of Katherine’s well worn sneaker. The residual heat from her foot occupying it on the way over here had not dissipated, and neither had the faint smell of sweat that had built up. You braced yourself as the oppressive atmosphere rushed past, and in the dimming light you saw the rapidly approaching surface of the sneaker’s insole.
As the colossal foot you were stuck to settled into the shoe, you were subjected to Katherine’s weight pressing you into the slightly moist insole, and would have let out a groan of pain if your lungs weren’t currently two dimensional.
The inside of Katherine’s shoe was one you were quite familiar with, as were the shoes of most of your family members, and you were as familiar with them mostly due to Katherine’s fondness for “pranking” you. You never really saw her happier than when she was crushing you underfoot or slipping you under the unaware bodies of your other family members. It was a safe bet to say that Katherine was directly responsible for more incidents involving you being squashed than any other person from your childhood, even more so than Rebecca Lewis, your highschool bully.
You heard the sounds of Katherine addressing you, but after travelling through not only the walls of her sneakers, but the foot pinning you underneath it, the sound was far too muffled for you to make out any of it. You assumed that she was getting in one more taunt before leaving because as soon as the muffled speech sounds stopped you suddenly felt your prison rise as she took her first step, before plummeting back to the ground, the painful impact of her foot on top of you pressing you further into the fabric of her sock. You silently prayed she would take you off of her sock soon, because the idea of being stuck to it wasn’t one that appealed to you.
You also were struck with a sinking feeling when you considered the timing of this “prank”. You were due to start your internship in the next couple of days, what if Katherine was going to do something that would make you miss your first day! You already got the impression that one of the partners didn’t like you very much, if you missed a day maybe this would give her argument that they shouldn’t have taken you on enough credence to convince the other two partners. You didn’t think Katherine was that cruel, but as her foot impacted again, making you want to cry out in pain from the weight of her foot bearing down on you, you couldn’t be sure.
You also silently prayed that she had been courteous enough to close your apartment door, because the idea of someone going in and taking your stuff worried you.
*****
After an indeterminate amount of time, it was incredibly hard to tell in the darkness of the shoe, not to mention the incredibly painful footfalls making keeping track of the passage of time, you felt the foot sliding out into fresh air, bringing you along with it. You had heard muffled conversation during the journey, but couldn’t tell if it was Katherine talking to someone or if she was simply passing by people having conversations, you you really had no idea where your bratty, cruel sister had brought you.
As you were dragged outside the shoe, the sudden exposure to light completely blinded you. Before your eyes had the chance to adjust, Katherine started to speak.
“Now for the next part of our fun Ant...”
1) “... You’re gonna help me pick out a lovely present for someone, I won’t tell you who though, I’ll keep that part a surprise.” Katherine, has brought you to a clothing store and plans to buy some kind of clothing for someone you both know, and to stick you inside it as a prank.
2) “... I’m sure Sarah will be so glad that I brought you along, once she realises you’re here at least.” Katherine brought you along with her to visit Sarah, but she’s going to hide you somewhere for Sarah to crush you while completely unaware.
3) “... I’m sure my friends will be thrilled that I’ve brought you along for our shopping trip.” She has brought you to the mall on a shopping trip with her friends, who find the antics Katherine gets up to with you hilarious. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
