Chapter #3
Morning Walk
by: Unknown
You really need to alert people about your present state without getting to close to anyone. At your size you doubt anyone would be able to hear you. That means if you tried to wake someone up they would probably roll over on you. The thought of trying to get the attention of someone that is awake and walking around makes you cringe. There are just too many situations that you could imagine yourself getting stepped on.
Then you remember that there are normally a few materials sitting around on the dinning room table. You might be able to arrange a few of them into an arrow pointing to you if there are enough light things available. That is, if you can climb to the top of the table. You will cross that bridge when you get to it. It will be enough of a problem just getting to the table and you will just have to hope that answers to your problems appear as you go along.
At least you should have a few hours before anyone gets up. This would be a lot more difficult with a bunch of people walking around. The trip to the dining room should only take about an hour or two. That should give you a two hour gap between getting into the dining room and when people start waking up. Two hours should be more than enough time to figure out how to climb a table and make some sort of message.
Starting out, you had a great deal of confidence that you could accomplish your task. As you travel down the hall that sense of confidence begins to fade. A brisk morning walk is not what the doctor called for after a night of drinking and partying. The pounding in your head is telling you that you need to sit down and take it easy for a few minutes. It is not a good sign that you need to take a break when you have not even made it half way to your destination, but you are going to have to do just that if you do not want to puke up whatever might be in your stomach at the moment.
You rest against the side of a wall while holding your head in your hands. Then you say what many other people have said after a night of drinking and having to deal with the hangover in the morning, “I’ll never do that again and this time, I mean it.”
Just as you are about to get up and continue your journey, you hear a door open. Now that is highly unusual. Nobody else that lives in this house should be up until the crack of noon, at the earliest. The room that the person is about to emerge from does look like one of the guest rooms. Somebody else might have stayed at the house overnight. Come to think of it, that is the room that your girlfriend sleeps in when she stays here. You wonder if she slept over last night. It could still be someone else though. It is not like Anna has exclusive rights to the room. Either way, things are about to get complicated by having someone what is a giant compared to you walking around the house.
You are an inch tall. That is not microscopic. It might just be possible to get the person’s attention if you moved around enough. You doubt you could yell loud enough to get his or her attention and it would be a gamble. It might be a good idea to just continue with your original task for now.
