Each step Bailey takes threatens to knock me lose. I hold on for dear life as she walks into the hall. The commotion of students traveling to their next class sounds particularly loud at my size. One of Baileys friends joins her. "Did you know there is a bug on your butt," comments the girl matter of factly.
"Eww, get it off," cries Bailey.
Before I can react, a giant hand comes crashing onto me, causing me to fall. As I descend, my heart pounds in my chest, and the sheer distance between myself and the ground becomes an overwhelming chasm. But just as my small figure approaches the floor, a gust of wind from the opening classroom door diverts my trajectory.
Tumbling through the air, I find myself hurtling into the bustling hallway, surrounded by towering students, each step they take now a potential hazard for me. Desperation fuels my determination as I scramble to my feet, acutely aware that my life hangs in the balance. It's a world of giants, their footsteps resonating like thunder in my ears. Carefully weaving through the sea of colossal feet, I dodge and dart, narrowly avoiding being squashed under their relentless march. The hallway becomes a treacherous labyrinth, with obstacles at every turn. As lockers swing open and boisterous conversations fill the air, my goal remains clear—to escape the imminent threat of being trampled upon.
Adrenaline courses through my veins, heightening my senses, as I spot an opening between a group of students. With nimble agility, I dash toward it, my diminutive figure blending into the crowd.

Realizing that staying in the open is a recipe for disaster, I scan the area for a safe haven. My eyes lock onto a nearby door, cracked open just enough to provide a glimmer of hope. Determination fuels my resolve as I dart toward the entrance, threading my way through the labyrinth of legs and bodies.
With each step, my heart pounds in sync with the cacophony of voices echoing through the corridor.
