A Living Room Traversal

    by: Dread Author IconMail Icon
You walk past the towering sandal, ignoring the smell of rubber and sweaty skin as you finally make it out of its shadow. Dirt covered the ground like globs of muck tracked in from a pack of people from a mudding event. As you got further from Kylie's footwear the muck was reduced, which indicated that it was just dirt tracked in from her walking into the house before slipping off the shoes. Still, globs of dirt and boulder-sized debris along with bigger clutter were dotted across the swath of massive living room space ahead. Even bigger and further ahead were the living room couches to the right, the living room table in front of it, and the entertainment center with the spectacularly large TV on it. Those along with various end tables were ginormous landmarks in the distance that seemed almost blurry to you.

Where do you even go from here? The couches might be a good spot. Someone is bound to watch TV eventually. You know that your friend's family sometimes have movie nights and that could give more options to get help as well. You would be able to approach the parents, Dianne and David, Kate would would be on the recliner just watching in between texting on her phone or even Kylie who would be sprawled out on the floor munching popcorn. With them being still, it would be the perfect time to try to get their attention so they can help you find this damn device and grow back.

To the far side of the living room is also a yoga mat. Kate, your friend's slightly younger sister, has recently taken on yoga as a hobby. Most likely to take photos and videos to make herself look cool. She wouldn't necessarily be still but she would remain at the same location which gives an opportunity to get her attention. Plus you have a lustful curiosity at watching Kate ostentatiously contort her curvy body above you as you try to evince yourself for help.

If those options aren't too appealing, you could just go under the living room table and wait. An opportunity just may present itself and you would be safe from anything under there. Either choice you make, you will have to traverse the living room rug that covers most of the floor. The strands seem to be growing as you are reminding of your continual shrinking. Maybe you should've picked a place that actively had someone instead of a spot you would have to wait and risk shrinking even more? Oh well, it's too late now.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Heavy footsteps booming like thunder are heard in the distance and the ground slightly shakes with each boom! Someone is walking but you don't see anyone as you look towards the hallway or kitchen entrance. You do hear the familiar creak noise of a cabinet opening and the loud bang from it closing with a loud and reverberating echo from the kitchen. Whoever it is seems to be staying there for now, which is good because you are pretty much at the center of the living room floor. With how big Kylie shoe was compared to you, someone would really have to be looking down to see you and not walk on you unawares. They seem preoccupied for now, so you continue your journey.

You make it to the edge of the living room rug as the lights from the window are noticeably dimmer as late afternoon and early evening intersect. The rug strands are like a meadow of tall grass that extends for miles while the couches and living room table are like hulking mountains just ahead, no longer blurry as you crane your head back to look up at them. From behind the living room table, you can finally make out the yoga mat and ball settled by the wall, but those are still pretty far away and blurry. As you walk through the waist-deep rug strands, you make up your mind and go to...


You have the following choices:

1. Go to the couches.

*Noteb*
2. Go to the yoga mat.

3. Under the table.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
