What a dumb idea, but you couldn't think of anything better. If you don't try to find some way to get her attention, you will end up shrinking to nothing or even worse, you will be stuck at this size and forced to run from brooms, gigantic feet, and bugs for the rest of your life. If there was another voice that could give a better idea, you would take it.

With nothing else, you walk towards Rachel's toes feeling substantial anxiety. Rachel crushes bugs much bigger than you every day without being aware or even feeling them when she is smoking on the porch. Now you are hoping to get her attention when you are a fraction of the size of the tiny bugs she never notices? Rachel lightly taps her foot by moving it upwards first, which reveals swaths of dirt and pebbles embedded in her dried soles from stepping on the porch barefoot on her last smoke break. Things are getting worse as you see her foot visibly increase in size and you are smaller than many of the specks of dirty embedded in the grooves of her sole.

BOOM!

Just a light tap of Rachel's foot on the floor causes a powerful earthquake to you that first knocks you off your feet and then a hurricane-like gale from the displaced air under her landing sole causes you to be blown across the floor. The smell of her feet rushes through the air as Rachel could care less what they must smell like for speck-like bugs in her kitchen who refuse to go outside or stay the hell away from her. They rank among the last thoughts on her mind.

Gathering yourself, you stand up and restart your approach. You are like a hiker approaching a mountain range because that what were toes are like now at this point. Her red painted nails mark the summit of the mountains, and you have to recline your neck back to see them, nevertheless the rest of her blurry body looming far above into what would equate to space relative to you.

Getting closer, you feel like you are a relatively safe distance to start to reconsider your approach when suddenly Rachel's foot moves forward. You never seen something so massive move so fast in your life! It was moving right towards you! The goddess stepmom's foot shifts up slightly on her heel, letting her toes be suspended just off the ground. For you this meant that her big toe hovered above you to create a ginormous roof that spanned the distance of a city! Most of the light was covered as you were in the shade of her toe!

Knowing that she could drop her foot down at any time, you sprint as fast as you can! You are pelted by hails of dirt and debris that randomly fall off her toe. Some of the debris that miss you could have crushed you flat. All you can do is try your best to pick up your pace with everything you got. But eventually you just can't run anymore, and you slow to a jog while wheezing for breath, taking in the feet-scented air filled with the humidity of her body heat and slight sweat that was still drying when she was outside on the hot and sunny day. You regretted your decision. Even if you had to live as a flea, you would do it if you could live. You didn't want to die!

Rachel shifts her seating position slightly forward and her toes drop to the ground again, thinking nothing of any stupid bugs that happened to be too close.
