April 16, 2007

    It was just a normal day after school on a nice, sunny afternoon. Yeah nothing much was going on but the usual stuff. You know murdering in Iraq, Bush giving a speech, taxes, all that stuff. I was busy working on one of my stories on our Mac while listening to some video game music while my family was out doing whatever. I didn't really care much about what they were doing. I just concentrated on my work. Sadly though, I reached another writers block right when I was getting to a good part.

Nicholas: Man I hate it when this happens.

I simply lowered my head onto the desk for a few seconds before looking out the window while sighing.

Nicholas: I wish something good would happen. Everything is just SO boring! *sighs* Maybe some TV will give me some ideas for this story.

So I went simply went into the living room in the church (still getting over that fact) and turned on the TV. Of course I did what every other American would do with the TV, surf it for something good.

Nicholas: Fairy Oddparents, Dora, Wrestling, Army Crap, Drama, CSI. Jeez, having around five hundred channels really can be a pain.

I then turned it to the news when I noticed something that really peaked my interest. I turned up the volume and paid close attention.

News reporter: This is a breaking news report. About several minutes ago, a city was reported destroyed by what many witnesses had described as a giant woman.

Nicholas: Giant woman?

News reporter: Many rescue teams have been sent out to the city to rescue any remaining survivors. From what reports we had gathered, the giantess had caused mass destruction, thousands of injuries, and around 700 deaths. We will keep you updated on this situation as more information is gathered. Now back to your normal program.

Nicholas: Well, that's definitely interesting enough for something exciting. Too bad I didn't get a look at the action, but then again I probably wouldn't want to be in that situation either. Ah well, got my idea.

I turned off the TV and went back to the Mac, but I then noticed that I got an note from someone on deviantART about this situation. I replied back saying that I saw the report on it, but I was shocked to hear that a giantess destroyed another city, and it was near my house.

Nicholas: Oh crap.

April 17, 2007 

    It went by so fast, and way faster then the ice storm that hit us in January. One minute I was on my computer writing, and the next minute I'm running for my life into Springfield with a giantess after me. I had never ever ran for such a long time and my legs felt like they were about to fall off, but the thought of being squished under an enormous woman's foot kept me fueled greatly. As I kept up my current running pace I looked back to see the giantess smiling down at me as she was walking slowly. I could tell she was enjoying this, because she was definitely toying with me.

Nicholas: And to think she's around my age yet twenty times my height!

I managed to reach what was left of Springfield when some random container of liquid crashed down in front of me and sent me washing away in its wake. The giant elf (who went by the name of Juice Alia) only giggled as she reached her fingers into the green liquid and pulled me out of it.

Juice Alia: AH I HOPE THAT LIQUID DIDN'T SOFTEN YOU UP!!!

I just hung there in her hand as she giggled again unable to even move my body. Somehow my body became paralyzed from that strange liquid, but I would figure out this was only temporary.

Nicholas: Why...do...I feel…funny?

Juice Alia: OH SO YOU AREN'T HUMAN???

Nicholas: What are you talking about, and what's this bump that I feel on my ass?

RIP!!!!

Juice only giggled even more as I felt my pants rip from something being forced out, and when I looked I only stared at it.

Nicholas: Why is this happening to me?

My newly formed tail then whipped itself at the giggling giantess and made a deep, gashing cut on her, which caused her to drop me while she was in pain. I thought at first that I was going to die from falling six stories, but it seemed that the Grim Reaper wasn’t around because I landed on the ground, but didn’t feel dead. I didn’t waste any time wondering what was happening as I ran for a hiding spot, the sewers. Into the darkness I ran, trying to get away before Alia tried to kill me for accidentally hurting her. No other thoughts were present in my mind, just the thought of getting away and finding someplace safe that didn’t smell like crap.

May 3, 2007

    So many days had passed by ever since I was forced into hiding by a giantess, and my life became more and more like the nightmare it truly represented. More and more giantesses began appearing in the US and with that, more destruction and murder. I had recently just met up with one of these giant women, and she was one of the biggest I’ve ever seen and also the one who came the closest to killing me. Her name was Aiko, and she wasn’t playing around like Juice Alia.

    While I was scavenging for food to eat in the remains of a grocery store my new, developed senses picked up something heading for where I was, and this one was big. Whatever was in that ooze that made into this…thing that I was now really attracted a lot of attention, and this only made my life a hell of a lot worse. When I felt the roof above me tear off I knew what was coming, and even then I still hesitated to look up at what it was.

Aiko: So there is still someone living in this dump, but you seem to be a bit…different from the others.

Nicholas: I get that a lot apparently.

Aiko: Well either way it doesn’t make any difference.

I knew what was coming next when she lifted her foot. Immediately I dropped what I had in my hands and made a dash for the door, just nearly missing being crushed by Aiko’s large foot. As I began running away from the towering woman, I felt her footsteps shake the earth beneath my own feet. I looked back to see her not walking, but running after me. I knew that I couldn’t outrun her at this rate so I looked for a safe place to hide, but there wasn’t anyplace that would serve as protection against her. Aiko proved that even the strongest buildings wouldn’t endure her strength and no entrances that led to the sewers were in sight either, but my luck had really ran out when I made a wrong turn that led to a dead end. The wall that blocked my escape was way too high to jump and there wouldn’t be enough time to climb it. Somehow, death has finally decided to take me in.

Aiko: Well you certainly proved to be a nuisance.

I quickly turned to see Aiko staring down at me from high up. She was smiling at me with a big grin, which I knew meant bad news for me. I’ve seen this look when I was hiding away while other people were running for their lives. It was her “killing” look, and she always showed it before she was about to kill whoever was unlucky enough to cross paths with her that wasn’t close to her size.

Aiko: However, your days of hiding are over. I hope you had said your prays, because there’s no way out of this one.

She was right. I was like a bird trapped inside a cage with a cat. No way to escape, and little chance of surviving an assault to defend myself. I felt like my life was over, but somehow that wasn’t the case. Right behind Aiko, another figure entered my sight, or in easier terms another giantess. From the looks of it she seemed to be a bit bigger then Aiko, but she somehow looked friendly…well towards me anyways. Aiko turned around as well, but only got punched in the face the new giantess and sent crashing down right in front of me. Her stands of her got me tangled up pretty good, but I was lucky enough to have sharp claws formed from that nasty goop. I managed to slash myself free of their grip, but only to be picked up by the giantess who just saved me.

????:  Are you ok?

I was stunned at what she asked, but I answered anyway.

Nicholas: Yeah. A bit tired, but I’ll live.

????: That’s good. You look like you haven’t eaten in a long time. Why don’t I take you with me so we can get you some food?

Nicholas: Sure…I guess.

And with that she gently placed me on her shoulder and walked away from the unconscious Aiko.

    I was glad to be back in nice, comfy home now that Miya, the giant woman’s name, took me in. I found it a bit hard to believe that she was able to live such a normal life at her present height, but then again being a mutated freak doesn’t fit a normal rating either. I was just eating a thing of bread when she sat by me and giggled at how much I ate in only twenty minutes.

Miya: My you must’ve been hungry have you?

Nicholas: Yeah. Being alone in a demolished doesn’t exactly suit my living style. *gulp* By the way, why did you rescue me?

Miya: Well you were in trouble of course. Aiko isn’t someone to take likely you know.

Nicholas: I know but *gasps for air* why did you? I mean, you are a giantess aren’t you?

Miya: I’m sure you can tell.

Nicholas: Oh sorry. What I meant was…well…every giantess I came in contact with so far tried to kill me, squish me, or eat me. You on the other saved my life, fed me, and are actually taking me in.

Miya: Do you want me to be just like them, because I will if you want me to?

Nicholas: Oh no! Of course not! It’s just, well for the past few weeks I’ve come to think that all giantesses were…murderers. I’m sorry if I offended you in any way. I’ve just had it…rough being the last member of my family and all.

Miya: Oh dear. Did a giantess kill your family?

Nicholas: Yeah, the same one that tried to eat me and made run into that weird goop that made me who I am now.

Miya: I’m so sorry to hear that. No wonder you were out there all alone looking for food. It’s a good thing then that I found Aiko running while I was walking around.

Nicholas: You know, you remind me of someone special to me.

Miya: I do?

Nicholas: Mmm hmm. You remind me of my Mema, or my grandma. You’re sweet, kind, and you care for me like I was your own. It’s almost enough to bring back memories of her when she was still around.

Miya: I’m sorry to hear that she was killed too.

Nicholas: No she wasn’t killed. She died when I was eight so that was eight years ago. She died of…cancer.

I began to cry as these memories came back to me, but Miya only smiled as she picked me up and placed me up to her chest. There I felt her heart beating at a steadily pace that made me feel comfortable again.

Miya: You can live with me if you want.

Nicholas: Yes. That would make me very happy. Thank you. 


August 28, 2007

    Well life for me was starting to get a little better now that I was staying with Miya. Still, the thought of staying with a giantess bothered me often and I always tried to stay cautious around her, but…as the days went by it became harder for me to not trust her. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing of course, but one can never be too careful in situations like what I’m in. After all, it was her kind that got me in this situation in the first place and who also scared my soul deeply, and this damn body of mine wasn’t making it any better for me at all. More and more I was becoming like the demon I appeared, and with that an increase craving to kill something, or someone. I knew that I couldn’t kill or even hurt Miya, but if she saw what I was truly becoming things might change from bad to worse and death could be well assured for me. I wasn’t stupid. I needed to find out what that goop that did this to me was and find a way to reverse the effects of it. I started my research today, but first I had to tell Miya what was going on. After all, I needed protection in the outside world now, and she was the only person who could provide me with it.

    I got up early this morning, much earlier then what I when I would usually get up, and went to Miya’s room to see if she was awake. It was around 6:43 in the morning so my hopes weren’t too high, but either way I figured I would try. It was better then trying to sleep because to tell you the truth, the thought of that goop didn’t exactly let sleep take its place. I was actually surprised to see her wide awake and up walking around.

Nicholas: Good morning Miya.

She looked down at me surprised. She knew that I wouldn’t be up this early. The earliest I would be up would be around 9 am, and that was when I had to do something important.

Miya: Is something wrong Nick?

Nicholas: No, nothing’s wrong. I just needed to talk to you about something…important.

Miya: Important? Like what?

Nicholas: I need you to come with me somewhere important. You know, for protection and such.

Miya: Nick, what is this about? You never leave the house at all.

Nicholas: I know, but I need to research something. That weird goop, I need to know what it’s doing to me. With each passing day I become more…ruthless. My craving for meat and blood keeps building up like a vampire. I need to find a cure before I truly…become a beast.

Miya: That’s what has been bothering you? Well then I guess I’ll tell you what that goop does.

Nicholas: What? You…you know what that goop does???

Miya: I know, because I was affected by it too. Almost all of use that are giants have been affected by that goop. It was supposed to be toxic waste being disposed of after making weapons, but when someone found out what it does to the human body, mainly females, she tried it on herself. Aiko was the first of our kind, and ever since more of us have been appearing and all of them took advantage of this and started causing havoc like they were goddesses. I was lucky not to be fooled by such nonsense, but I am also one of the largest out of all of us so I have a lot of enemies on my hand. Frankly, you’re lucky to survive getting hit with that goop.

Nicholas: Why? Would I get the opposite effect and shrink down to nothing?

Miya: No. You would’ve died from poison.

Nicholas: Di…die?

Miya slowly nodded her head. I staggered backwards at the information I had received. To think that I was becoming a monster by the same shit that caused women to become giant killing machines. I felt like fainting, but I needed to know more.

Nicholas: So this change was because I managed to escape death huh? I guess this is my punishment, being cursed.

Miya: I’m sorry, and I’m also sorry to say that there isn’t a cure for this either. I was a scientist before this happened and I tried to find a cure, but none exists.

Nicholas: Oh. Well thank you for telling me this.

Miya: I hope this doesn’t change our friendship towards each other.

Nicholas: No. That will never change. You saved my life and cared for me. Why would I betray you over something like this? I’ll just have to adapt to this now. After all, humans are capable of adapting to certain situations. It’s one of the things that make us…unique.

Miya: Well if you still want to go out, I’ll be glad to escort you.

Nicholas: That…would be great.

August 30, 2007

   Miya and I left early in the morning so they had hopes of avoiding any trouble from anyone, giantess or muggers. Frankly, Miya had a little soft spot for people smaller then her and I kept getting the urge to simply rip something to shreds, so any absence would be for the best.

    We were actually making great timing through the demolished city of St. Louis  No one was around as expected, so that was good. As for giantesses, not even a foot print in sight.

Nicholas: Well, this might turn out good after all.

Miya: No. Something isn’t right.

Nicholas: You mean this place?

Miya: Exactly. The place is in ruins and yet there isn’t a trace of who caused it. Whoever did this did it from a distance.

Nicholas: But who would do it?

Miya: I might have an idea of who it is.

Nicholas: Who?

Juice Alia: Hello there!

I turned around to see Juice Alia standing behind us, and she was giggling again.

Nicholas: Oh shit.

Juice Alia: Hey, it’s you again. I always wondered what happened to you.

Miya: You two met?

Nicholas: Yeah. We met all right, and she sure had some fun with it.

Juice Alia: Yeah, and now I want to have more fun with you. Then, maybe I’ll eat you.

Miya:  Nick, run.

Nicholas: Running.

I began making a sprint into the cemetery that was once St. Louis. I heard footsteps beginning to give a chase after me, but they stopped quickly right when they started. I looked back and I saw Miya beginning to wrestle Alia.

Nicholas*thinking*: Please be careful Miya.

    I made my down several blocks before stopping to rest. My body ached badly from running a lot, but I still had to get away. Even with Miya around I was still in danger, because there might be other giantesses in this area just waiting to get their grubby hands on me, and if that happened I’d be as good as dead. I started moving again, but immediately I felt something grab me from behind. I turned to see another giantess staring down at me, and she didn’t look like the friendly type to me.

Nicholas: Oh crud.

 ????: Well, well look what I have here. A nice, tasty treat just for me, and no one around to share it with.

I looked up in horror as La Belleza Descalza (that was her name apparently) positioned me over her mouth. I knew I was dead, but I still had a bit of hope that Miya would help me. Sadly, she was still fighting with Alia and didn’t even notice I was in trouble. It was over.

La Belleza Descalza: Bottoms up.

Her grip on me disappeared completely and I felt myself freefalling right into her mouth. I screamed as I tried to grab her lips with my hands, but my claws disappeared before my eyes and I just slid down her throat.

Nicholas: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shot up. I was back in my living room, in my house. Everything was still the same, unchanged. I was gasping for air as I looked around back and fourth confused.

Nicholas: What…how…why? It was just a nightmare.

I let out a big sigh when I looked at the clock. It was only 4:47 in the afternoon, and I was still alone at my house.

Nicholas: I must’ve dosed off. What a strange dream that was though. Good thing it was only a dream.

Miya: Oh I wouldn’t say that.

I turned to see Miya staring at me through the opened window. I only stared at her dumbstruck, but I just let it slide.

Nicholas: Reality sure has a thing for biting my ass.


December, 28 2007

    Ok, so that dream was actually real. No problem right? I wish. Try hiding a 400 ft. giantess from your family, the public, and even the government while keeping quiet about it and trying to figure out how in the hell she got here in the first place. Was that dream really real? That thought always stayed in my head whenever I went into the cold forest to check up on Miya. Truthfully, it was the best place I can hide her. Sadly, she hated it so much that she risked herself getting caught so many times, and nearly getting my ass in trouble. Well, today would hopefully change since there was a place where she could stay and actually keep warm and fed.

    After walking for thirty minutes through snow, brush, and branches I went up to Miya. She was so crunched up trying to keep warm. I felt sorry for her since the only thing she had on was a bra and some ripped shorts (or jeans?). I could tell she wouldn’t be a happy camper if I woke her up, but if we wanted to get somewhere with this then we had to play by the book.

Nicholas: Miya. You awake?

Miya shifted her head a bit and looked down at my tiny figure. She looked really sick from my prospective, but she seemed ok to me.

Miya: How do you think I can sleep in this kind of place?

Nicholas: Well I have some good news for ya, and a little bit of bad news too.

Miya: Ok.

Nicholas: Good news is that I hooked up with a friend of mine to help us out with finding you somewhere to stay where it isn’t…rugged.

Miya sifted herself to sit up on her knees. She certainly improved her mode from the good news, but still had that look since there was bad news.

Nicholas: The bad news is that one; we have to wait till night to move ya, and two my friend might either spaz out, or feint on the sight of you.

Miya: I really don’t care much about his reaction. I just want somewhere warm to sleep in.

Nicholas: Hey I told you we found a place. Just hold up for a little longer and you’ll be home free…sorta.

Miya: SORT OF??? I’ve been here for five weeks and the best you can come up with is sort of?

Her voice shook the entire voice. A branch over my head snapped and fell on my head causing me to find myself back in my living room.

Nicholas: Huh? What the…was it only another dream?

Aiko: You could say that.

I looked up to see Aiko looking down me, but I only shrugged it off and went back to sleep.

Nicholas: Not even going to bother.
