Hello Bug: Short Story

Overnight, men were randomly shrunk to the size of ants. You, having been camping the night before, looked around to see grass taller than your head, inch high brooks were suddenly enough to drown you, and buzzing bees may as well have been the size of cars. You, unsure and confused, glanced back at your sky high camping supplies and set off to find a new place of safety. You scrambled over boulder-sized pebbles and grappled tree roots as if they were privacy fences. You finally spotted a bit of flat ground, thinking it might be your salvation you hurried off in that direction. Then the ground began to shake…

You blinked, once, twice… your heart stumbled over its beats. She was larger than life. She was breath taking. Unfathomably tall with legs that stretched on for miles. And she wandered and strolled through that unkempt forest floor without a care in the world. To her, life was continuing on as usual. For you… to you, it was as if a Goddess had been transported to your pathetic mortal plane. Without taking a moment to compose yourself, you scurried after her. It took every ounce of your energy to keep up. She was already nearing the edge of your eye sight, unaware that you even existed. When that Giantess finally disappeared behind the trees, you were terrified you had lost her. Haunted by the thoughts that you might never have the opportunity to even glance upon someone quite so magnificent ever again. But with determination and grit (and a pinch of desperation), you kept tabs of her beautifully large imprints in the moss and tracked her down. It must have taken you hours, shuffling through the wild undergrowth, dodging insects more impressive than you.. but, eventually, your ears picked up on the roaring of a creek. Instinct drove you to make that final climb over the crushed twigs. And when the sunlight nearly blinded you as you heaved yourself over a stone, you found yourself awestruck once again. There she was.. that carefree giggling Giantess of the woods. She lounged back on the side of the stream bank, wiggling her toes, smelling the breeze, smiling against the sun beams. Some itching, sad, little part of you thought about yelling out to grab her attention.. but as you gaped up at her otherworldliness, you decided to wait. First you just wanted to watch and salivate, imagining what it might be like to be plastered to those velvet soft soles. You had plenty of time to crawl over to her flip flops, or hitch a ride on the oversized jeans.. but for now, you would just watch with a sense of enchantment, daydreaming about what possibilities the rest of the day might bring. 

After spending your time quietly appreciating the Goddess’s beauty, she began to ready herself to stand. Hurriedly, you made your way across the bank. Leaping over trickles of water and dutifully avoiding mud for fear of being stuck forever. Thankfully, your panic of being left behind paid off. You made it with only moments to spare. Careful to not be noticed, you wrapped your arms around the trunk of her flip-flop straps and prayed. Not that you would mind being squished… no, in your twisted, perverted, pea brain you actually relished in the idea of meeting your end by massively silky feet, but, you weren’t quite ready yet. Nestled between her big toe, the leather flip-flop strap, and her other long beautiful toe, you found a comfortable yet tight home. How long you spent stuck there, you couldn’t be sure. It didn’t matter. You were in absolute heaven. The way her toes naturally squeezed and rubbed your nude form left you aroused and vibrating in ways you couldn’t comprehend. You were no more than another speck of dirt, another scrap of leaf, another meaningless thing. Your mind had reached a new degree of bliss while the wrinkle of her toe tickled and brushed your skin in the most titillating of fashions. 

But all fantasies must come to an end. 

She had stopped walking. 

Her flip-flop dangled away from her toes and you despairingly leaped! 

Frantically you found residence on the bottom of her second toe. 

“What… is that?” Her angelic voice boomed similar to summer storms. 

Her shadow descended over you. A dark omen to come. Her bright golden face twisted into something of disgust as she beheld the depraved nuisance that you were. 

“Ugh! Pathetic!” Her monsoon tone exclaimed with repulsion. 

Roughly shaking her foot, you felt yourself begin to slip. Even as you clung on to her toe for dear life, you watched all the other particles flick off her foot. Your little insect body stood no chance against her power. The fall lasted forever. But you didn’t mind, because as you toppled backwards you had the privilege to watch her grow larger with every inch of your drop. You landed amongst the rest of the filth. You blinked. Her giant foot was making a calculating descent as she leered down at you with malicious intent. You only had time for one more breath and the final fleeting thought: that you truly were the luckiest man in the world to expire with the Goddess’s attention being completely on you, that to end by her gorgeous Giantess foot would be a privilege. 

Your world faded to black. 

She made another sound that mimicked revulsion, circled and forcefully pressed the ball of her foot in the rock below her feet, then stomped again. Only after she was sure the deviant little creature was no more than a smear, did the Goddess splash her foot in the water to wash the stain of the bug away.
