Matt, now a family man, traverses adult life with his typical luck. (BIO UPDATE 11/03/24) |
Originally written by the fantastic NeoPhoenixStriker, this story is now under my care in their absence. This is a Sequel Story to 'A Shrunken Son'. Though not technically required, it is highly recommend that you check that story out first to get a feel for this world and its crazy cast of characters: https://www.writing.com/main/interactive-story/item_id/2299624-A-Shrunken-Son At the very least, it's worth looking into the storyline ending that lead to this sequel interactive: https://www.writing.com/main/interactive-story/item_id/2299624-A-Shrunken-Son/ci... BACKSTORY 72 years ago, the world irrevocably changed. Now referred to as The Great Shrinking, some sort of invisible field of energy erupted across the entire globe, and 1% of the world's population instantaneously shrunk. In the years since, none of been able to determine what caused that first shrinking, but it irrevocably altered the DNA of all humans across the globe, giving all future mothers the chance to birth shrunken children. Both men and women were affected by the shrinking in a literal sense, but the entire world was also rocked by the shrinking. Especially as, with mothers now having a chance to birth affected individuals, the population of those shrunken people grew larger and harder to ignore. Scientists were quick to dub those shrunken as "affected", and those left untouched as "unaffected". This has not stopped many from simply referring to the miniscule individuals in their daily lives as "tinies". It was not an easy thing for society to stabilize after such a dramatic incident, and there would be many who would say that only now has the world achieved something akin to equilibrium. Organizations rose up in the past, like the Center for Tiny Care (CTC), that sought to subjugate and control all tinies in existence, breaking their wills and molding them to serve the unaffected. Other organizations were created to challenge the CTC, with none being as effective and prosperous as the Fair Tiny Treatment Foundation (FTTF). The two organizations clashed relentlessly, society frequently bouncing back and forth between inhumane archaic torture of tinies, and widespread policies and inventions to assist affected individuals. This constant conflict often hindered the societal acceptance and kind treatment initiatives for the affected, and only recently have things begun to calm down. This is the life of a habitually luckless tiny who has nevertheless found a happy family to call his own. His life, however, is anything but peaceful and routine... YOU Matthew "Matt" Jacobs (44) - This is You, the protagonist of this story. One-inch tall (like 99% of tinies), with messy dirty-blonde hair, light brown eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a fairly athletic build. You are, perhaps, the most unlucky and accident-prone affected ever born, and you've lost thousands of hours of your life being crushed by the bodies of those closest to you, as well as total strangers. Even still, you've always been a fairly optimistic person when it comes to thinking that things have to get better, even if your cynical side surfaces from time to time. After all, how bad can your life truly be with a loving wife, two incredible daughters, and plenty of other amazing friends and family? For the past decade or so you've been working alongside your wife, Marisol, helping her to grow her mother's old fitness center, Focused Fitness, into a wider franchise. You and Mari manage the home branch of Focused Fitness, and you spend your time managing program and event schedules, employee hiring and timecards, and other behind-the-scenes work. In your spare time (what little you have), you network with Small Wonders, a pro-tiny science organization, putting your Engineering degree to use developing new affected-approved exercise machines for the gym. MAIN CAST Marisol "Mari" Jacobs née Fuertes (44) - Your beautiful and incredible wife of twenty-two years. 5'11, with dark chocolate-colored hair flowing long and wavy to her mid-back, soft sky-blue eyes, deeply tanned skin owing to her Brazilian heritage, and an exceptionally curvaceous body (a common trait of the women in her family line). Mari's curves are the head-turning stuff of legends, aided by her typical attire of tight athletic clothing and the toned, sculpted nature of her curves thanks to her frequent exercising as a gym manager. In recent years, she's put on a tiny bit more weight, but as far as you're concerned, it's all gone to the right places. Sometimes you have difficulty believing the cute transfer student you met in middle school became your true love. She's manager alongside you of Focused Fitness, spending many days there teaching classes herself and instructing new employees. There's oh-so-much that you love about your wife, but also a few areas that she isn't perfect, because no one truly is. In her youth, Mari had an exceptionally horrendous short-term memory that was the cause of much strife for you, but Mari made a promise to get better, and she did. After the birth of your daughters, however, Mari had to devote more time to caring for them, as to be expected. As such, her memory lapses became a bit more frequent again, as did your accidents around her. Mari's inherent hyper-competitiveness sometimes rears its ugly head if someone challenges her to something, particularly a physical game. She also has a tendency to see the best in everyone and not assume the worst, making her fairly easy to manipulate by the wrong people. Still, she's a fiercely protective and devoted woman who cherishes you intimately. Riley Jacobs (21) - The older of your twin daughters with Mari (by fifteen minutes). 5'8", with her mother's dark chocolate-colored hair, though she keeps hers in a short layered fringe. She has your light brown eyes, and a tanned skintone somewhere between you and your wife. She's certainly inherited her mother's proportions, though a bit more subdued and firmly toned thanks to her incredible love of high-intensity sports. Riley attends Weston University as a full-time student (Majoring in Physical Education), though still lives at home. When not doing schoolwork, she's either participating in practices for the soccer team (which she captains), doing the same with the swim team (also a captain), or waging some new competitive war with her rival, Persephone Graham. She's lesbian, and anyone with eyes can see she belongs with Persephone if the two girls can just put their hormone-flamed rivalry to rest. Riley's idolized you ever since she was a toddler, her inherent desire to improve herself reflected by your own constant struggle to live through each day as a tiny. You're her hero, and it wouldn't be a stretch to refer to her as a 'daddy's girl' with how much she loves spending time with you. It's only a tad unfortunate, then, that she inherited the majority of your wife's memory issues, combined with her own rampant obliviousness. Riley's a smart girl, but she's often incapable of noticing things right in front of her face, which has never ended well as far as your safety's concerned. You love her, of course, but if you have to spend one more soccer practice inside of her disgusting worn sneaker, you just might die. She's slightly interested in a college sorority, Omega Gamma Phi. Juliana "Juli" Jacobs (21) - The younger of your twin daughters with Mari. 5'8", with your dirty-blonde hair that she keeps straight and pristine to her mid-back. She has Mari's sky-blue eyes, and a tanned skintone somewhere between you and your wife. Physically, she's almost a mirror of Mari, despite being twenty-three years her junior. Her curves are incredible, and Juli knows how to leverage what she's working with, typically dressing in fancy but eye-catching outfits (low-cut dresses, mini skirts, and the like). She's a full-time Weston University student (Majoring in Social Media Management) who still lives at home with you, but she's also got a gig as a social media influencer, running her own relatively famous channel that rakes in respectable dough. When not doing that, she's hanging out with her best friend Zoey Reed, who she so obviously has a crush on and yet is too scared to act. With Riley putting much of her attention towards you, it's Mari that Juli latched onto from a young age, enamored with her mom's beauty and easy-going confidence and charisma. It was Mari who convinced Juli to try her hand at being an influencer, something Mari always thought she'd have enjoyed in her youth when she was less busy. Juli took to it, of course, and is extremely proud of the fan base she's built up because of it, while also managing to not let the fame get to her head…kinda. Juli does, however, have an unfortunate tendency to take first and ask later, especially when it comes to you. You've lost track of the number of times she's snatched you on a day you had plans, and molded you into her new bikini top for the day because you were 'just the right shade of tan, daddy' or ‘my fans think I’d look super cute, daddy’. Then, add on some trace short-term memory issues of her own inherited from Mari, and you would go on to spend a week in her swimsuit drawer before being remembered. She's slightly interested in a college sorority, Omega Gamma Phi. Zoey Reed (22) - Your daughter Juli's best friend since elementary school. 5'10", with close-shorn purple-dyed hair, hazel eyes, and smooth pale skin. Her curves are relatively subdued, but she carries her effortless allure well with her lean, toned body and tastefully revealing choice of attire (typically ripped jeans or tight leather in a rainbow of colors). Zoey attends Weston University alongside your daughters, majoring in Cosmetology, and is one of the most laidback and nonplussed people you've ever met in your life. You've never seen the girl so much as slightly raise her voice, or ever have that playfully smirk leave her face. She makes a lot of friends, but she's always cherished Juli above all (though seemingly oblivious to Juli's budding crush on her). She's bisexual. Zoey is a free spirit, and attends wild parties almost every single weekend, a master at holding her liquor. She often brings Juli along to these parties, and your daughter is abysmal at remaining sober, though obviously Zoey takes good care of her. She's pretty congenial towards you too, and is, in fact, one of your most frequent rescuers due to her eagle-eyed attention and observant nature. You really wish Juli would just ask her out already, as the two girls would obviously be perfect for each other. She works most evenings at Diane's Diner as a part-time waitress. You know almost nothing about her home life or what family she might have, as she lives in her own apartment on the Weston campus. Penelope Graham (44) - One of your oldest and most malicious enemies. 5'5", long platinum-blonde hair that frames her alluring, sharp-featured face. She has pale skin and dark eyes. She makes her smaller proportions and physique work for her with tight flattering formal wear and high-heels. She radiates maturity, and excels at giving those around her a soothing motherly smile, strict-but-fair. This is, of course, almost entirely a ruse. Penelope is a devil taking human form, and the fact that she's got so much of society wrapped around her little finger is a constant source of aggravated disbelief for you. Penelope lies as easily as she breathes, and she's deluded many powerful people into giving her exactly what she wants. For starters, Penelope is the dean of Weston University, a position she effectively cheated her way into and then re-wrote campus by-laws to keep herself in power. With said power, she's protected the CTC presence on campus, and effectively outlawed the FTTF and all pro-tiny groups. As such, tiny safety is a mess at Weston, and Penelope relishes in that. She's started a career in politics too, and was recently elected as an Oakland councilwoman, hoping to use that position to branch off to higher heights. If there was anyone in the world who still had the power to elevate the CTC back to its old dystopian control, it would be Penelope, the woman who would gladly burn the world if she could be the last to survive to enjoy it. She created the Omega Gamma Phi sorority. Persephone Graham (21) - The daughter of Penelope, and a passionate rival of your daughter, Riley. 5'8", with her mom's pale skin, dark eyes, and platinum-blonde hair, although Persephone wears hers in a tousled lob. Penelope has slightly more pronounced curves than her mother, but often seems embarrassed at her own attractiveness. People tend to refer to her as 'The Doll of Weston' owing to her incredible beauty and seemingly delicate constitution...when off the field, that is. Persephone is a voracious sports lover who pushes herself to the limit each day, and participates in as many teams as possible. She's become the poster child of Weston University PR stunts, and her athletics put her in direct competition with the other Weston star athlete, your daughter, Riley. Persephone has a monstrous reputation of hurting tinies who cross her path... ...Except it isn't the full truth. Despite being raised by a demon like Penelope, and being surrounded by CTC sycophants her whole life, Persephone despises the idea of hurting tinies. She actually finds them adorable. However, with her mom looking over her shoulder, and a close-friend group encouraging horrible affected treatment (like her good friend Ivy Green), Persephone is often pressured into tormenting tinies to put up an act that end up only further solidifying her fallacious reputation. This frustrates Persephone, and she takes her anger out on sports and her rivalry with Riley. Except, of course, for the fact that the two girls would obviously be perfect for each other if they'd just drop the rivalry. She's a member of the Omega Gamma Phi sorority. ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS Ivy Green (21) - A good friend of Persephone's, and the daughter of a former CTC bigwig, Meg Green. 5'7", with short black hair, pale skin, and dark eyes. Her outstanding physical proportions are just one of the many ways in which Ivy takes after her mother, and though the girl could theoretically be called 'overweight', she carries her curves in a manner much more befitting of the 'thicc' moniker. Ivy possesses incredible body confidence too, and isn't afraid to show off her outstanding body in skimpy swimsuits at The Oasis, or skintight attire while on campus. She's Majoring in Business, and uses a lot of her mother's old contacts to grow her online market of discounted and rare CTC tools, toys, and memorabilia. When not doing that, she's a cheerleader heaping praise onto Persephone (and the girl's equally cute rival, Riley). Those who meet Ivy for more than a single day figure out that the girl is a raging sexual sadist, especially with regards to tinies. Viewing them as nothing more than her personal pleasure toys, Ivy is a monster to all affected on the Weston campus, and yet Dean Penelope lets her get away with it all. In fact, it's Ivy and her actions that are almost entirely responsible for Persephone's fallacious reputation as a tiny-hater, and yet Ivy's too blinded by her loyalty and adoration of Persephone to realize that the other girl actually hates being viewed like that. Ivy (and her rich but disgraced mother) are two of the biggest donors of Penelope's growing political campaign. She's a member of the Omega Gamma Phi sorority. Jenna Jacobs (42) - Your younger sister, and truest friend ever since her reformation from her old ways. 5'10", with shoulder-length sideswept dirty-blonde hair, darker brown eyes than yours, and the same slightly tanned skin. She still has her trademark glasses. Jenna has always had a slimmer build than most unaffected women you know, which had previously been a sore spot before she fell in love with Piper. She's by no means undeveloped, of course, and her modest curves are still put to use in flattering dresses and professional attire. Since graduating from Weston with her Accounting degree, Jenna has taken over your mother's old fashion design line, turning into an international sensation that brings in considerable wealth and fame. When she's not busy running the numbers for the fashion business, Jenna still makes time to hit up Focused Fitness and hang out with her old friends and family. She's mellowed out considerably since her old days of tormenting you, but your little sister still can't resist a good prank at your expense now and then (usually not too painful or long-lasting...usually). She's fiercely protective of her tiny wife and tiny son, and spends much of her free time continuing the pro-tiny crusade of the Fair Tiny Treatment Foundation. She still frequently apologizes for how much and how long she abused you for in your childhood. Piper Jacobs née Brooks (43) - Jenna's wife, and an old prankster-turned-friend of yours. A staggering two-inches tall, making her the largest tiny ever born. She has pale skin, a vibrant mess of pink-dyed hair, and mint-green eyes. Her towering (for a tiny) physique is only heightened by the proportionally hefty curves that would've broken necks had Piper been born unaffected. You yourself are very well acquainted with Piper's perky chest and large booty, the rambunctious pinkette never wasting a chance to tease you or jokingly squish both you and her affected son. It's all in jest, which you are thankful for given how venomous she used to be towards you. Piper runs your mom's old fashion line alongside her wife, and also co-chairs the FTTF. Alongside this, Piper has not lost her free spirit or her love of music, and still frequently puts out new singles with her band, The Banshees of Inches-Higher, joined alongside her good friends Dodger and Sydney. Piper's lungs of steel are still the thing of wonder, and her overbearing exuberance is as infectious as always. Even when you wish Piper would ease off the teasing for a bit whenever she visits you and your family, you can't help but admire her resolve and the life she's led. She's a cherished friend. Aiden Jacobs (21) - The son of Jenna and Piper, birthed biologically from Jenna. He's a one-inch-tall affected guy, with lightly tanned skin, dark hair a mix of Jenna's blonde and Piper's natural black, and Piper's green eyes. He's even got an affected-sized pair of glasses, having inherited your sister's poor eyesight. He's a student at Weston, though does more online classes than in-person. He's Majoring in Engineering, having been inspired by you, his uncle. He's lived an extremely sheltered life thanks to Jenna's overprotectiveness and Piper shielding him from tiny-sized threats. As such, he's lived one of the most comfortable and accident-free lives of any tinies, but not without downsides. Aiden is painfully shy and exceptionally naïve at understanding how the real world works, and he doesn't have any friends. Jenna and Piper have recently realized their mistake, and have asked you to take Aiden under your wing when you can and show him the ropes. Of course, with your own bad luck and penchant for getting into horrible messes, your 'teaching experiences' often end up a bit crazier than you'd like. Ashley Parker (42) - One of your closest friends, and Jenna's eternal bestie. 5'8", with vibrant red hair she wears long and loose, smooth milky skin, and piercing emerald eyes. Ashley's youthful appearance and bright smiling face even as a middle-aged adult are still so staggeringly contrasted by her supermodel-tier curves. Ashley's breasts, thighs, and derriere are some of the biggest you've ever laid eyes on in your entire life, and they seem to only get bigger and doughier with each passing year. And, as always, Ashley is blissfully oblivious of her own sex appeal, or the fact that every outfit she's ever owned seems to be a size too small in all the right ways to gracious onlookers. She graduated Weston with her degree in Art, and a minor in Culinary Studies. Fulfilling her childhood dream, Ashley opened her own combination art gallery and cute café, dubbing it 'Auntie Ashley's'. Thanks to some promotion from Jenna, a quirky social media page run by Ashley herself, and the infamy of the owner's prodigious proportions, the café has been a rousing success, much to Ashley's glee. She's always been a savant in the kitchen or making creative projects by hand...and clearly lost her mental processes everywhere else. While not an idiot, Ashley is catastrophically lacking in common sense, spatial awareness, attentiveness, and memory. She's colossally airheaded, and still a bit of an unintentional menace when you're around. At least she's finally stopped trying to woo you, and is now just her normal amount of overbearingly cheerful. She's remained happily single. Selena Morrow (45) - An old love rival for Mari's affections, turned surprising ally. 6'1", with deeply tanned skinned, alluring dark eyes, and long silver hair in a sideswept style. Selena is the dictionary definition of 'Muscle Mommy', with the chiseled toned biceps and abs of a professional athlete, and the supple curves of a Greek Goddess. Along with a heavy dose of confidence, charisma, and self-assurance, Selena's alluring smiles win the hearts and envious stares of people every day. It was those traits, actually, that had made her a persistent love rival for you during a period of time Mari almost drifted away from you. That's stopped now, thankfully, as Selena's married her own special someone, Viola. But that's hardly the biggest change to impact Selena's life in the wake of you marrying Mari. Selena and Viola decided on artificial insemination to have a child, and Selena was selected as the birth mother...only to give birth to a tiny girl! The minute her new affected daughter emerged from her womb, Selena's decades-long apathetic indifference towards tinies evaporated, and she pivoted hard in the opposite direction. Selena became an outspoken proponent of tiny-rights and advocacy, and when she and Viola were eventually appointed the new owners of The Oasis waterpark, she overhauled the policies to be courteous and safe towards all affected. She keeps busy running the park and promoting her ambitious daughter, and you consider her an unexpected but dear friend. Viola Morrow née Walker (44) - One of Mari's old lifeguard friends, and Selena's wife. 5'5", with cream-colored skin, bright blue eyes, and a fiery mane of red hair kept back in a loose ponytail. She has a small and slight build, but not an unattractive one owing to her firm modest curves and toned muscles. Having always valued inner strength and the responsibility of making one's own choices and facing the consequences, Viola finally worked up the courage to ask Selena out in the wake of you marrying Mari. Selena accepted, sensing the redhead's passion, and the two hit if off wonderfully, eventually tying the knot themselves and giving birth to an affected daughter. Even with an affected daughter in tow, Viola has not abandoned her strict-but-fair methods, and raised her tiny daughter with a healthy dose of tough love. Even when Selena protested that her wife was being too hard on their affected progeny, Viola remained firm in her beliefs, and watched as her daughter blossomed into a tough, competent, incredible young woman. Viola runs The Oasis alongside Selena, keeping the employees in line and the guests even more well-behaved thanks to her deity-like reputation as an arbiter of justice. She supports her daughter and other tiny-rights organizations when she can, and teaches a hardcore defense class for affected at Focused Fitness on occasion. She finally feels like she's escaped the shadow of her own callous mother. Grace Morrow (21) - The ambitious daughter of Selena and Viola. One-inch-tall, like all affected, with Selena's richly tanned skin and dark eyes, but Viola's bright red hair (worn in a professional bob) and slim, lean physique. From the moment she was born, she received love and care from Selena, and tough love and life lessons from Viola, and her moms have shaped her into an incredible person despite her young age. Attending Weston University full-time and majoring in Public Policy, Grace is one-hundred-percent committed to the pro-tiny cause and the efforts of groups like the FTTF. She believes tinies are no different than the unaffected save for size, and has big plans to revitalize how society sees the affected and treats them. Her goals are admirable and her scope is impressive, and she's got the cunning wit and sharp mind to see it through...when she's not getting distracted by the fairer sex, that is. Grace has never dated, but hardcore crushes on basically any cute girl that spares her a look, and she has a tendency to trip into accidents that way. Penelope Graham is, as expected, the biggest political rival Grace would like to take down upon graduating. Until graduation from Weston, she’s been a part-time lifeguard at The Oasis to help her moms, where she’s a favorite amongst staff and patrons. Dodger Campbell-Stein (44) - One of Piper's best friends, and a close ally of yours. 5'9", with dark Black skintone, coppery-orange curly hair, and bright mischievous eyes. Dodger's stellar physical proportions (thick, pronounced curves) are counterbalanced by her firm musculature, completing her goddess-like look. Often dressing in tight leather clothing, Dodger knows what she's working with, and appreciates the complimentary stares, comfortable in her sensuality. She's married to two incredible women in a polyamorous relationship, Sydney and Rosa. Considering herself to be a bit of an anarchist, Dodger loves rocking out and sticking it to the system. Almost unbelievably, she still has a thick British accent and constant slang, despite living in the States half her life. Alongside participating in the continual output of new content from The Banshees of Inches-Higher, Dodger also serves as a professor at Weston University, teaching Music History and Guitar. She loves her job (even if she's less keen on the strict professional dress code), and loves sharing the love of music with other impressionable students. She hangs out with you a lot as well, and never passes up the chance to tease you. While miles better than when she over-eagerly pursued your affections in the past, sometimes you wish she'd keep herself in check, especially when her physical klutziness kicks in and makes a simple teasing prank a day-long crushing ordeal. Sydney Campbell-Stein (44) - One of Piper's best friends, and the wife of Dodger. 5'6", with extremely pale smooth skin, long black hair streaked with a violet line, and dark piercing eyes. Though a plus-sized woman by technicality, no one can doubt that Sydney's extreme thiccness isn't wholly to her benefit. Gargantuan breasts and a suitably massive derriere are only further accentuated by Sydney's typical attire of absurdly tight jeans and low-cut blouses that leave little to the imagination. Sydney's comfortable in her sensuality, though, and doesn't mind the attention. She's a Goth to the core, though her dire outlook and morbid speech has improved in recent years...slightly. Alongside participating in the continual output of new content from The Banshees of Inches-Higher, Sydney also serves as a professor at Weston University, teaching Music Composition and Percussion. She loves her job (even if her withdrawn attitude and muted expressions would imply otherwise), and appreciates sharing the joy of music with other impressionable students. She manages to spend a lot of time hanging out with you as well, and seemingly can't resist a bit of flirty teasing each time you cross paths. Though preferable to the intense flirtations she used to throw your way, you wish sometimes she'd ease off, especially when a simple kiss can lead to you getting lost in the abyss of her cleavage for a whole day or longer. Rosa Campbell-Stein (44) - A huge fan of Piper, Dodger, and Sydney's band, and now wife of both Dodger and Sydney (a polyamorous relationship). An inch-tall affected girl, with dark tanned skin from her Puerto Rican heritage, rich wavy brown hair with bright neon blue tips, and deep brown eyes. She’s surprisingly packing some pronounced curves in her tiny frame. She suffers from ADHD, which is untreatable for affected, but her wives have helped her greatly in managing her impulses. She's still a reckless and fun-loving exuberant girl, and still the only tiny who can match you in terms of total amount of accidents (if not total length of accidents). Rosa's aura of bad luck for other affected who cross her path is as overpowering as always, leading to many incidents involving yourself, Piper, and even others like Grace and your nephew Aiden. Still, it's hard to stay mad at Rosa when she means well and always tries to fix and atone for her mistakes. After years of hard work, she graduated from college with a degree in Education, and now teaches Music Theory and Piano at Weston University alongside her wives. She also still serves as the stage manager for The Banshees of Inches-Higher, organizing set lists and promotion for the group and their venues. The three childless women are living their best lives. She's a pretty extreme masochist, which pairs well with the crush-fetish Dodger and Sydney have. Hope Cooper (26) - One of the new wave of lifeguards hired by Selena and Viola to staff The Oasis. 5'8", with richly tanned freckled skin, and golden-blonde hair she wears in a twisted halo to her mid-back. She's got eyes as bright blue as the sky, and a dimpled smile that wins the hearts of anyone who sees it. And if they aren't won over by her smile, it's probably by her outstanding physique. Blessed with a bountiful body that could break necks, Hope stuns with her shapely rear, toned legs, and softly muscular body honed by two years as a lifeguard working almost daily. Her standout physical feature, however, is her massive chest, a pair of gigantic perky breasts that see many Oasis parkgoers nearly drown for lack of paying attention while ogling her. Combined with her sunny disposition and friendly attitude, Hope's a real favorite at the park. The attention and flirting she receives goes in one ear and out the other, however, as Hope's not concerned about building a relationship with anyone...except for a specific demographic. Hope has got it bad for affected guys, and often flits from one tiny crush onto the next, usually scaring the poor affected away with how fiercely and flirtatiously she comes onto them. Distressingly (from your point of view, at least), Hope's most recent crush has been on you, and the girl just cannot get it through her head that you're eighteen years older and married. Worse, Hope sometimes plays up her 'airheaded valley-girl' demeanor and pretends to be clumsier and more ditzy than she is, squishing you intimately in the process and getting away with it thanks to others obliviously giving her behavior a pass. Kenzie Malachi (26) - One of the new wave of lifeguards hired by Selena and Viola to staff The Oasis. 5'5", with curly black hair, hazel eyes, and a darker tanned skin owing to her half-white half-black heritage. Physically speaking, Kenzie is almost impossible to ignore. Pushing the boundary of overweight, Kenzie is an enormous girl with more curves than any person could ever hope to handle, and enough body confidence, toned muscle from being a lifeguard, and form-fitting clothing to instead earn the moniker of 'thicc'. Kenzie is one of the most voluptuous giantesses that you have ever met (and had the unfortunate experience of ending up underneath), and her breasts and thighs are massive. Most massive of all, however, is her earth-shattering derriere, with basketball-sized cheeks that could chew up an entire crowd of tinies and leave no trace. And, such an exact occurrence has happened before, owing to the number one defining characteristic of Kenzie outside of her alluringly massive proportions: Kenzie is just about the laziest girl ever born, and will never raise even a single finger to do something she herself doesn't want to do. Helping out someone who is drowning? Kenzie's okay with doing that, even if somewhat reluctantly. It’s her job, after all. Freeing the family of four affected her ass just swallowed because she didn't watch where she sat? Well, that's their problem to deal with. Kenzie's lazy-powered apathy is the stuff of legends among her co-workers, and the thing of nightmares for any tinies who cross her path. She's certainly not mean or purposefully malicious, she's just almost commendably dedicated to never helping anyone out of a mess ever...even if she herself caused it. Lihua Leng (48) - One of the longest lasting and most respected fitness instructors at Focused Fitness. 5'7", with smooth lightly tanned skin (she is of Chinese heritage), silky dark hair often in a ponytail, and bright eyes that match her perpetual smile. Despite her daily intense exercises (and the outpouring of sweat her body generates because of them), Lihua has also been a hefty, pleasantly-plump girl. That curvaceousness is jaw-dropping, and Lihua still has some of the most abundant curves you've ever seen on a woman. Lihua's chest is outstanding enough, but her booty is world-consuming. And you would know, having once been lost in that thing for three weeks shortly after your wedding with Mari. Lihua looks outstanding for her age, and has slowly gained more confidence and better self-esteem over the years. Much of that has been owed to her position as the Senior Instructor of the Focused Fitness home branch, and the fact that she was granted full oversight over all affected classes and programs (and also still teaches her beloved weekly Zumba course). Lihua has the single largest and most selfless heart in the world, and she pours all that love into caring for and helping affected guys and gals grow stronger and learn to be their best selves. Though she's remained single, Lihua is content with her position in life as a guiding angel for all affected. She's a frequent donor to the FTTF, and a good friend to you and your family. Admittedly, her penchant for getting lost in thought while dancing has led to a few incidents of you beneath her, but that's a fair trade off given all the good she's done for you and your kind. She has affected twin younger brothers, Jun and Shui, who she loves more than life itself. Fariha and Saira Bhavsar (25) - Indian twins recently hired as new fitness instructors at Focused Fitness, and a constant headache for you. They are identical, and match almost completely with their physical appearances. Each 5'9", with dark brown skin, silky-smooth black hair worn in long ponytails, and piercing brown eyes. They each possess bodies of incredibly curvaceous and athletic appearance, a perfect marriage of curves and muscle. They have large chests, sizable rear ends, toned abs and lean stomachs, and softly muscular arms, thighs, and legs. They tend to dress in athletic wear, with Fariha preferring light-blue colors and Saira fiery red. Fariha also has a mole under her right eye, the only physical difference between the two. Growing up the youngest of six children, and with all four of their older brothers affected, gave each sister a unique outlook on tinies. Fariha finds tinies irresistibly amusing, often resorting to teasing or light pranks to satisfy her boredom. She's not malicious or sadistic, but can get carried away, especially with you. Saira, on the other hand, views tinies with annoyance, every affected reminding her of her overbearing older brothers. She often tunes out tinies much to the detriment of their safety, and will never offer a helping hand to a tiny in need if she can avoid doing so. Again, not malicious, but far from perfect affected-safe behavior. Fariha teaches the yoga and meditation classes at Focused Fitness, and Saira teaches the high-intensity programs and Spin classes. Serafina Fuertes and Damien Fuertes (41) - Mari's younger cousin, and an infamously entitled woman even still. 5'8", with dark bronzed skin, immaculately coiffed chocolate-brown hair, and deep blue eyes. Blossoming from the budding beauty of her youth, Serafina is now the spitting image of a Fuertes woman with her pronounced curves and soft, supple skin. That beautiful smile hides an entitled brat that never grew up, however, and to this day Serafina still believes herself a princess who is owed anything she lays eyes on, all without seeing the issue in that. She's jobless, coasting off her mother's near-infinite wealth, and she lives extravagantly and indulgently. She earnestly loves her family, but her attitude is hard to put up with. Damien is her husband, technically, although their relationship is anything but normal. He's an inch-tall affected guy with dark tanned skin, brown eyes, and sandy-colored hair shaved short. Affected were extremely rare in Serafina's home city of Salvador, Brazil, but Serafina eventually found Damien and had the guy wrapped around her finger in an instant. It helped that Damien is a guy that would do anything to please a beautiful woman. Marrying him so that she could then easily sign him up for a Exclusive-Use Multi-Form Usage License from the CTC, Serafina spends more time wearing her husband then treating him like a person, but apparently the dynamic works for them both. At least it's gotten Serafina off your back, as previously you were her favorite tiny to utilize for her whims. Orla McCarthy (19) - An Irish exchange student at Weston and the newest sister of the Omega Gamma Phi sorority. Standing at a moderate height of 5’7”, Orla’s frizzy mane of red hair that cascades downward to her mid back, and her pretty, pale and freckled face should be her defining features, but they are overshadowed by the rest of her. Orla is, to put it mildly, a heavy girl, with a very large chest and rotund stomach, which both pale in comparison to her gigantic, planetary backside, which is will easily be the largest that you have seen since your last run in you had with Cynthia Morrow. Easily the girthiest member of the sorority, Orla’s hefty, soft curves are unfortunately a source of ridicule from some of her more mean-spirited sorority sisters. Another sticking point about her from the other OGP sisters is her love of tinies. Unlike the other OGP members, who are either C.T.C zealots, firmly believing that a tiny’s place is under their control, or just outright sadists, Orla views tinies as the worlds greatest toys, and her childlike glee over “playing” with them would almost be infectious, if not for it being utterly horrifying for her “toys”. This love of playing with tinies, while viewed as weird by most OGP members, can be directed to devastating effect by some of their more conniving members. Used to having to hide her games with her siblings from her overprotective mother back home in Ireland, Orla is loving the freedom of being able to play with any tiny she finds openly, wholly unaware that these “games” are only fun for her… More to be added as they appear... WORLD-BUILDING The CTC and Usage Licenses - The Center for Tiny Care was created about ten years after The Great Shrinking, but it didn't explode into popularity until the infamous Amy Baker Pep Rally that changed the fates of tinies everywhere. Ever since, the CTC has only gobbled up more and more power and authority, spreading its influence internationally. It's influence has waned considerably thanks to the FTTF, but it's hooks are still dug deep in many parts of the United States, and the world at large. Weston University (and, by proxy, the whole Oakland area) is one of the most pro-CTC areas left in the country thanks to the sadistic efforts of Penelope Graham. The most famous (or infamous) innovation to come from the CTC was the Usage License, a nigh-unbreakable contract that tinies can either sign up for themselves, or more frequently, be forced into against their will. This licenses strip tinies of their rights and force them to live their lives in servitude as objects and clothing, with nothing they can do bout it. The CTC also created other nefarious inventions like TattGlu to turn tinies into living tattoos, 0-B-D-N-C, a drug capable of warping the mind of an affected into unwilling submission, and Tiny Trackers (TTs), little devices that monitor and regulate a tiny's reformation abilities through electric shock. Focused Fitness - What once used to be a simple local gym, that has now expanded to a multi-state franchise thanks to the efforts of its original manager, Rio Fuertes. Rio then passed the torch onto her daughter Mari, and you and Mari have been managing the home branch ever since. Alongside the likes of fitness instructors like Lihua, the Focused Fitness home branch draws in hundreds of eager affected and unaffected each day with a wide assortment of programs, courses, and exercise equipment that can't be found elsewhere. Accidents befall tinies daily, but under your watch, Focused Fitness has improved dramatically when it comes to tiny safety. Holiday gatherings and public official meetings are often held in the largest program room, which can be reserved ahead of time. Tinex and Full-Length - It didn't take society long to realize that the unique genetic properties of tinies allowed their squishy and malleable bodies to stretch and be molded into almost any shape. Less than reputable people soon discovered just how well tinies could serve as clothing and objects. To combat the sudden influx of tiny-kidnapping and slave trade, science corporations came together to develop Tinex, a synthetic material that acts, looks, and feels exactly like a squished tiny. Tinex exploded in popularity overnight, becoming a mainstay in clothing shops and furniture stores the world over. An unintended consequence, however, was the mass prevalence of Tinex causing many in the population to stop noticing real tinies in the midst as often. Along with Tinex, scientists created Full-Length, a liquid (that can also be a spray) that serves to lock up and freeze Tinex into whatever shape it has been molded into, making it essential for clothing modeling. A rare solvent breaks the chemical bonds of the Full-Length, but there's about one solvent bottle produced for every twenty vials of Full-Length. Alas, the scientists seemingly didn't realize that their new chemical creation would have the same terrifying freezing effect on real, innocent tinies... Small Wonders - Though not all of society has put in the effort to care for, respect, and be considerate of the affected population, Small Wonders has more than carried that burden. A technological engineering company, Small Wonders is a conglomerated effort of the smartest and most creative minds that works towards improving the lives of affected across the globe through consistently inventive, user friendly, and commercially viable products and inventions. Recently, they have expanded to become an international organization, combating the evils of the CTC and helping to improve the lives of tinies everywhere. Well over a thousand unaffected and affected employees happily work at their multiple offices and factories.. At the top of the organization is Doctor Francisca, though she is mostly retired now in her older age, and only oversees things when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, each branch is run by its own senior leadership team. The largest home branch is led by a brilliant but ditzy researcher named Mackenzie, an extremely proficient product tester named Tina, an affected and one of the brightest and most clever developing minds named Manny, an astute and keen but oft-exhausted researcher named Rebecca, and a somewhat wild and mischievous woman named Sophie who is prone to outlandish but inspired ideas. Weston University - The largest college in the Oakland area, and for all intents and purposes a fairly normal establishment. However, appearances can be deceiving, and thanks to the influence of Dean Penelope, the college is rampant with tiny-abuse and CTC sycophants and fanatics. It appears normal from the outside, though, which helps to lure in unsuspecting tinies for torment, and impressionable unaffected who can be molded into tiny-tormenting monsters by the likes of the head sorority, Omega Gamma Phi, which is infamous for pulling in tinies who then never see the light of day again. With Penelope in charge, it's almost impossible for any charges to be pressed on campus for affected-related incidents. Omega Gamma Phi - The premier sorority on the Weston University campus, and one with a fearsome reputation. It has fairly simple entry requirements for prospective applicants, but a harrowing hazing ritual for affected girls. This is, of course, because the sorority practically only exists as a safe haven for daughters of CTC officials and their likeminded friends, giving them a place to torture affected to their heart's content without fear of punishment. Both affected and unaffected alike on campus are scared of crossing a Omega Gamma Phi member, as the sorority is known to lash out in protection against their members. They're good at putting up a front and appearing to be innocent and charitable, but it's all a ruse. Their annual fundraiser party donates all money to the CTC. The Oasis - After Mari left The Oasis to take care of Focused Fitness with you, Viola and Selena were jointly appointed as heads of the lifeguard team and shift managers. A year later, and the actual manager abandoned ship, unable to turn a profit with the fun but floundering park. Viola and Selena refused to give up, however, and over the next twenty years put in thousands of hours of backbreaking work on renovations, PR promotion, advertising, grant writing, and more. With some help from their friends, they pushed The Oasis to new heights, and what now stands in its place would not even be recognizable to someone from twenty years ago. What had once been a larger-than-average public pool with a few simple amenities has now become a massive (and hugely successful) waterpark that draws guests in from hundreds of miles away. An expanse kiddy area with playground and giant dumping bucket, a huge wave pool, two twisting lazy rivers that circle the park, over thirty different water slides, a private sauna and hot tub area, a lap pool for competitive races, and so much more now stand in place and draw giant crowds each day. Viola and Selena are still the proud (and now quite wealthy) owners, and the influence of their daughter Grace has led to plenty of tiny-safety devices and regulations being put into effect. RULES (Please Read Carefully) This story is to be written in the second person (you, yours, etc.). However, it is totally acceptable to switch perspectives to one of the girls and write in third person for a bit, just not for whole-chapter storylines. Also, this story, like most, is in past tense (ran, thought, decided, etc.). Please don't add any male giants to the story. Fellow tiny guys are 100% welcome. Feel free to add as many new giantess girls or even tiny girls as you would like as well. This story (to provide as many fun scenarios and inspiration as possible) opens with a fair few detailed but short 'bridge' chapters. However, outside of the explicit intention of opening up future possibilities for authors to explore, please avoid a whole bunch of bridge chapters, or just extremely short chapters in general. Short chapters just aren't that exciting to read. Avoid whenever you are reasonably able to. As a general courtesy, make sure to pay attention to spelling and grammar. Punctuation too! I'm not perfect with this myself, and I don't expect you to be either. Just take a second to review your work before hitting that submit button! This won't come up often, but if you ever have a character speaking in a non-English language, please write their dialogue in normal English, but with BOLD and ITALICS. "Basically, it would look like this." Thanks. No plagiarism is tolerated AT ALL in this story. It’s one thing to be inspired by another author, but it’s another thing entirely to lift whole chunks of text from their work and pass it off as your own. Collaborative writing is fine, but no stealing work! PLEASE KEEP CHARACTERIZATION CONSISTENT. Someone who is nice and sweet shouldn’t change to crazy and sadistic at the drop of a hat (unless that’s part of some kind of twist). Keep in mind this intro page and what the author before you has written, please! ABOVE ALL, HAVE FUN!!! |
