Any chance for some cliffhanger-relief anytime soon?
Author's Response:
He, he,.. Yeah I've bean stewing on the action of part two of this current situation that our main protagonist finds himself in..
I've also been very busy lately as it is Summer time now and one must make hay when the weather is good.. Doing some traveling too so all of that has been getting in the way...
But rest assured the show will go on.. A couple of weeks or three I suppose.. Somwhere around there. I'm wanting this to begin moving towards a conclusion so that the readers have a closure and not and are not left hanging or frustrated.
Thanks for prodding me Johnsmith.. :)

Things are getting really interesting. I hope John's situation gets better, but something tells me I shouldn't hold my breath.
Author's Response:
I'm glad that it hs piqued your interest Kane.. That's what this is all about after all... Thanks a lot for giving me some comments on this! :)

I don't know how I feel about there being other tinies in this story. I loved just having John and a few giantesses here and there.
Well, this is a 2-parter and I'm not quite sure what to think of this first part. Kinda silly how John got so angry at Sarah like that. She even had a rule about a safety belt so it's completely John's fault.
I'm still hoping that Sarah and John gets some fun time soon considering I kinda forgot this story and had to recap it before reading this chapter.
Actually, thinking about the other chapters, I would love to see that soccer mom make a reappearance in this story. Perhaps, she finds John at this mall and decides to keep him for herself and even hide him from her daughter's. Total stretch suggestion, but I still loved chapter 5 the most, so I can't help it.
This new black guy seems to have been through quite the journey. I wonder if he had some sexy adventures that he would like to share with John.
"So I met this girl named Sarah...." John glares at him in response. Haha.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Not to worry, the focus will remain on Johh, but not to forget, he's not the only one who has contracted the shrinking disease therefore others (though not to become central characters) will come into the fray from time to time for the sake of plausibility.
Also, sometimes our emotions take us past the prudent sensibilities.. Having become overwhelmed by them (even though he's in the wrong), he will now have to cope with the consquences of them... We'va all had temper tantrums before that exceed the boundries of right and wrong might I remind you of.. John is a human still and therefore subject to those same extremities as the rest of us are.
I like the idea of the soccer mom making another appearance a lot.. I'm going to have to give this a lot of thought and thanks for bringing up that.
I'll get into the black man's history some too.. He will not be a card board cut out I assure you. He, he.
Thanks a lot for the critical assessment of this chapter Tom as I've got a lot of things to think about for the next one now too. ;)

First off, love the carrying cage. I feel his anger but not buckling in is his fault. But you would expect more compassion from your wife. But when you're small they just naturally treat you differently. Love that Sarah was quick to answer back. She obviously had seen his little fits before and there's no reason why the lady who controls everything and provides everything should have to put up with a tiny angry man.
Learning that they do move in with the Mother In Law is logical and exciting news. It only makes sense because of her wealth that she take in her daughter and her diminutive husband. I'm sure in the flashback he adheres to her rules. After all he will be living in her house.
He really blew it with his language toward his wife. That was definitely a finalizing scene. Now he is up the creek without a paddle.
It's interesting that he runs into someone at the mall. It's also interesting how he finds how insignificant he is now. He could be crushed by anyone at the mall without them hardly noticing him. There are footsteps everywhere. Will Sarah look for him? Will she care? She could collect him again out of pity or she could say adios little man.
His moving in with the Mother In Law will be a fascinating chapter. I like that you go back and forth in time to show how he got to where he's at. I'm sure his anger builds from the constant lack of respect or caring about his feelings. Part 2 will be so cool. You really do a great job of putting the reader in his shoes. Tiny shoes at that. You make it realistic. What could happen to you at various sizes as you slowly shrink? This will be a story that I will read over and over.
Nice job,
Diesel
Author's Response:
Wow! I'm glad that you really like this story Diesel!
Putting the reader in the protagonist's shoes should be a priority for any writer I've come to believe. So yeah, that's what I'm trying to do here. It is the stories that do that and fill in the mundane blanks whose importance is often overlooked that I strive to give back to the reader.
I don't want to give spoilers on Sarah so I wont, but your musings are on the right tracks. ;)
When we are so hurt and upset we do sometimes go overboard with our language.. I'm guilty of it myself to be honest.. And then we have not only repair the damage of past events, but shore up the damage of our mouths too. John has lost almost everything but is still right there to observe the things that he's lost so his extremes of anger are plausible in my view, even when they go too far.
Yes, I'm sure you will find part 2 intersting as I try to explore the realities of a ground level experience.
Thanks again Diesel! :)

What a pleasant surprise! Glad you’re back. Still hooked as usual, not sure I trust the guy he just ran into though...
Author's Response:
Glad to see you in the comments section too John! I'll have the second part up soon without a long delay this time.. That project I'm working on is on the downhill slide now with most of the hard work a thing of the past so I'm getting more free time to think and write again.
See you at the next chapter I hope. :)

Author's Response:
And you'll get more too Logan! Thank you very much for the warm welcome back as it's truly appreciated. :)
I'll try to have the next part up soon. ;)
