This choice: It's a janitor  •  Go Back...
Chapter #3

Huge Janitor

    by: Small1 Author IconMail Icon
From his lowly half-inch status, Eric watched as a titanic man entered the laboratory. He wore drab gray coveralls and was hauling a plastic garbage bag the size of a mountain.

Eric recognized the colossus as the janitor. Ben. Or maybe Ken. The man's name escaped him at the moment.

He watched as the enormous man lifted a trash can near Eric's plateau-sized desk and emptied its contents into his large plastic bag.

Eric ran to the edge of the platform. Fortunately, the platform sloped like a sleek mound all around the edge instead of ending in a vertical drop.
He lowered himself over and initiated a wild 150-foot slide to the floor. In only seconds, he reached the floor and landed on his feet and began running out into the open floor. Waving his arms, he tried to attract the giant's attention. "Hey! On the floor!" Eric yelled.

Suddenly, the janitor was on the move again. His entire massive body moved with startling speed for something so immense.

Eric screamed as two fucking huge work boots, each more than 260 feet long and at least 100 feet wide, slammed the floor near him.

"Oh fuck!" Eric gasped. He recognized how stupid he had been to dash out into the open...an insect-sized man in the presence of this gigantic man.

Fortunately, the janitor kept walking, soon leaving Eric far behind.
Eric tried to catch his breath. The exertion and the surge of pure adrenaline left him weak-legged. His brain raced. Already, he was trying to think of his next move.

Testing the shrink ray on himself had to be one of the most stupid mistakes ever made. He realized that now. "I've just got to stay calm. I've got to think of a plan. I've got..."

Eric's voice trailed off. In terror, he stared toward the horizon. The janitor was back...and pushing an immense broom in front of him. The bristles spread out in a wall more than 400 feet wide! And the giant and the huge broom were bearing down on him!

You have the following choices:

1. Eric is swept up by the broom

2. Eric's desperate bid helps him avoid the broom
