Morning broke off once again, as I then started to turn and fuss, since the
sun was facing right in front of me. I turned the other way hoping to quickly sleep
some more than, as much as I wanted too. It felt like today was going to be another
good day, with the sun up and no clouds around. But as I was relaxing and sleeping,
hoping to wake up in about another hour, I woke up as I heard my baby sister's
booming voice startling me, chilling my bones.
"WAKE UP MY LITTLE BIG BROTHER. IT'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL
DAY OUTSIDE."
I glanced and started to rub my eyes, as I saw my baby sister looking down
on me. She was looking at me as if she didn't see me in years, but that wouldn't be
the first time. I was recalling my old memories again, to when it all started. My
name is Bobby Tult, I'm 27 and I was barely 1 inch tall. My story goes as my life
was like, those years ago. My baby sister, Katie has been taking care of me since last
year, and so far she's been doing a decent job. She is now a 17 and a student in high
school, who plans to go head for a university. I was obviously coming with her, since
she was my only family left. I wouldn't know where to go, without my baby sister. I
couldn't believe that time sure flies by. I watched her grow up, and now she was
taking care of me.
It all started nearly a year ago, as I said.
A few of my friends and I were playing football in the park, it was a sunny
bright day and it felt so perfect. During the game, the moment I was so close on
catching the football, it flew right across the fence and into the condemned lot. I
basically ran and hit face first into the fence. I clearly heard my friends, Larry and
Joseph laughing as I fell into the ground. They quickly rush very fast just to see if I
was okay. As Larry spoke,
"Hey Bobby, you okay? Haha."
"Ow, crap. Yeah I'm fine for now. Where did the ball go?"
"It flew into the other side of the park", Joseph said.
"Great, well I'll go get it."
"Wait a second, Bobby. I don't think you go there. They say a lot of people
went into the lot, and had these strange and permanent effects or something. You
know like that one guy who grew a tiny tail on his spine, or the fat woman who
mysteriously lost weight but can't stop eating."
"Dude, Larry. That's just a myth, I don't believe in that type of bullshit.
Besides, I need to get your ball back, otherwise your brother is going pound us."
"Yo, me and Larry will just watch you behind this fence, if any trouble starts
though holler real loudly."
"Alright, sounds like a plan. Be back in a minute though the ball didn't go
that far."
I wasn't really too worried at all at first, I mean it was a simple task; hop the
fence, get the ball, and be back. Only takes a minute. So I managed to climb the
fence, and jump down on the other side. I landed on some dead grass though. I
looked around my surroundings. The place looked like it had been abandoned even
before I was born. There was a broken down car by this tree, and some weird
looking oil spill. That's where I saw the ball at. It was on that oil spill swamp. It
didn't look too deep, so I carefully walked up and tried reaching over for the ball.
That's when it happened. The wind was blowing out of nowhere and I was
pushed by the force, and hit face first on the swamp. I quickly got up, and I spat out
the oil that went into my mouth. Ah, screw I say. I just grabbed the ball, and then
went back by the fence. My clothes were dirty, but I cared less. I got the ball back
and quickly jumped back up the fence, like any other person would do and continue
playing football with my friends.
"Whoa Bobby, you're a mess."
"Well, I would care less any way Larry. Plus here's your ball."
"Thanks man, I owe you won. Let's continue shall we."
I started to have a strange feeling, but tried to ignore. But still I felt that the
oil that got into my mouth, I'd probably swallowed somehow. Maybe I needed
something to drink or something, so after an hour of playing I went home and called
it a day.
When I got home I went directly into the kitchen, where I then ran into my
baby sister. Katie was still a growing teenager. She stands around 5'4, while I stand
at 6'2. Her long brown hair stretched halfway down her back, she carries on dad's
blue eyes and mom's face, though she wears her eyeglasses most of the time, since
she was far-sighted. She was definitely becoming more lovely and beautiful
everyday. She just went into the kitchen and saw me. The moment she did, she ran
up to me and opened up her arms to hug me. I could tell all day, she was a bit lonely,
after hanging out with her friends yesterday. She was just plain exhausted from
studying and homework as well.
"I missed you, Bobby."
"How you doin sis?"
"I was waiting for you to come home."
Katie and I were real close, she was my only sister and family left now and I
cared for her as much as any other brother out there. My older sister, Annie died in
a car accident years ago, when I was 10, she was only 16, and Katie who hardly even
remembered was just a baby when it happened. My parents died as well in the same
accident. Ever since that tragic event, we lived with our grandma, but she passed on,
prior than six months ago. I was too afraid to think what would happen if I loss my
baby sister, my only sibling and family left. I really did love her, as she loved me
back. The thought of losing my baby sister, was too much to bear with in my life, I
wouldn't need a reason live anymore since I would just be the last survivor in the
Tult family. I didn't want to think of that right at this moment.
Katie never wanted to imagine that thought as well, she had a lot coming to
her. What she was planning to do later, is that after high school, she would go to
college and help support with everything I'm doing for her and herself, she did have
a part time job. I was working at a video store for a while, until I got laid off
because the store closed down. There was still money left for us, and we were
technically living off welfare checks after grandma died. It was still not enough,
though in my opinion, I needed to take care of Katie. She was very young to me, and
I couldn't let her down. Basically, my number one priority was her. I looked at her,
as she smiled up. I then just started to rub her dark brown hair, and said...
"So what do you feel like doing kiddo?"
"Not really sure. I was basically bored, after coming home and well. I
thought like if you wanted to watch a movie or something, probably."
"What good movies are out?"
"Not really sure, I've done nothing all week, except school, work, and
hanging with friends. I thought though that maybe this weekend we could just
spend time."
That was probably a good idea; I needed to just relax for now. I would worry
about finding another job later, besides I was still hold around $600 in my savings,
maybe I would treat Katie into something, for the fact that I sort of was late on
getting her a birthday present about two months now. But she wasn't really bitchy
about that though.
Katie was just the typical teenage girl at age 15, who wouldn't fuss over
anything. She stands at 5'3", while I was 6'1". She didn't care much about her
height. She was more like a goody-two shoes who tries to stay out of trouble. She
just wants to be a good person and do good things. And for her age, was deeply
mature and understanding, although there were a few times where she did act like a
little brat. Like this one time, she kept whining over me to buy some sort of skirt for
her, when we shopping at a mall, but I told her I couldn't get it right now, because
my check doesn't come until tomorrow. It got annoying after, but still a couple
hours later she maintained to get over it and rather wait patiently.
What Katie wanted to do for a living is be a teacher, an elementary school
teacher. She loves kids, and when she was young, she use to baby-sit kids, as she
kept on doing in on her own time, or when she needed some extra cash. She started
babysitting when she was 14. During those times, I would usually drop her off and
pick her up every single night, until she was able to find a real job to do for part-
time last year. She was currently working as an assistant for calls in a computer
business. What she does all day, is just take some calls, write them down on a post-it
note paper and later give them to her boss or transfer the call to person that the
person on the other line request to speak to. I thought it was just another odd-job,
but hey she was still being paid at least $20-30 an hour, for working 5 hours on the
weekdays and 7 hours on the weekend. But her schedule though is way out of a
regular schedule, since they would call her in whenever they want.
But it was her choice to keep what she wanted to do.
Anyway, after thinking about it for a while, I probably thought maybe
tomorrow Katie and I probably watch a movie. I seriously didn't feel well all of a
sudden now, and hope that I'll be better later after taking some Advil. The strange
feeling was becoming intense, and I felt I was having a fever.
"Bobby, are you okay? You seem a bit pale."
"I'm not sure, I sort feel a little bit steamy for some reason."
Katie then placed her hand on my forehead, to feel the warm, she quickly
withdrew her hand.
"Oh my god, you're burning up."
"I'm going to go to bed then."
"Would you want me to make you something to eat?"
"No, it's okay."
"Well let me know later, okay? Oh, I forgot to mention that I won't be
working until next week."
"Okay, alright. Well that's good well I'm heading off to bed now."
"Alright, good night."
"Night, baby sis."
Katie was concerned, I knew she would be. I just didn't want her to be too
worried though.
I got into my room and just straight to bed, I didn't bother to change,
because I was so tired, but I did took off my shoes though. I just fell straight there,
and wrapped myself with the covers. I felt like I was passing out real hard now.
Why was this happening to me? It wouldn't matter at the moment, because at the
instant I was in bed and wrapped around the covers, I was in deep slumber.
13 hours later.
It would be 7:30 - 8, the next day when I woke up. I felt a little woozy,
probably another temporary side-effect. But the strange pain feeling was gone, but
still I felt a little blind sighted. It took a couple of minutes until I saw what I didn't
understand. It looks to be my room, but it was different, different in size. My room
looked like it quadrupled many times in size. I then looked down on the ground,
which turned out to be the covers of my bed, but they were spread very wide, as I
looked upon my bed. It felt weird. I realized now that my room isn't big, I've
shrunk. I must have been at least 1 inch tall. What the hell was going on in my
head? This can't be real, I must be dreaming.
"Ow."
I said to myself, after I punched my stomach. Oh god! This can't be for real.
People don't shrink overnight, and this was clearly not possible, there had to be an
explanation. I couldn't of any reason think why I've shrunk, until I realized
yesterday, when I was playing football with my friends, that oil that I accidentally
ate, was not some dirty oil, it was different. It had to be the actual explanation to
why I was having that strange pain. I was...
I accidentally fell off my bed. I was going to die as I was falling. But then I hit
something soft, I closed my eyes for a second believing I was dreaming until, I found
out that I actually landed on my bean bag chain. Luckily, I placed there and didn't
move it, otherwise I would already be dead, and hit the floor. I chuckled a bit, when
it finally hit me. Katie, I need to find Katie as soon as possible.
I started to slide down the bean bag chair, and I was off to Katie's room. But
before I was about to crawl right into the crack of the door, I took another look at
my room again. It's hard to believe that when you had a room like this, it was a
sanctuary to yourself, but now just looking at it when your small, just alters the
appearance of what it was before to yourself, or something.
I was lucky to crawl within the crack of the door otherwise I'd be deserted,
imprisoned in my own bedroom. Having to face a lot of obstacles at my height,
finding food around (most of the time I try to keep my room tidy and clean, less of
eating junk food, somewhat of a lesson my mother taught me when I was 6 and ever
since she died, I try to make that as a promise), and who knows what type of bugs
can crawling over around my room. I didn't want to think about that for a second. I
needed my baby sister now, more than ever. I was beginning to feel fear, as the
adrenaline was rapidly increasing, without her.
Just then, I finally got to the front of her door. My god just looking at her
door made me wonder how tall she would be now. I use to be taller than her, but
now she was bigger than me, ironic I find it to be, Katie is my baby sister, but now
she'll be able to tower over me. I didn't think for a sec, how she would react with my
new height, I was thinking now maybe I should turn around. But then I decided
against it, my sister has the right to know, and I need her more than ever, I needed
her to find me, and now to take care of me. I can tell that the situation for me is
getting worst, the more time I waste.
I manage to crawl right through the crack of her door. I was in her room
now. Katie's room was massive compared to my room, it was also nice and tidy even
though there were a couple of clothes and shoes dropped on the floor. I saw Katie
still sleeping in her bed. There got to be a way to approach her, lucky enough the
bed skirt was on the floor, I can climb it and get to her bed, and try to wake her up
some how. I made my move did so, it took me about 3 minutes, but I was finally on
the bed, and what lay upon the bed was a still sleeping Katie.
I recalled an old memory a long time ago, when I was 10 and Katie was just a
born infant. 17 years ago, right after my parents came home and left the hospital
with my new baby sister, I was being babysat by my older sister, Annie. My parents
hollered...,
"We're home kids!"
They walked in, and I saw her...
"Annie, Bobby", my mother said. "Meet your new baby sister, Kathleen
Michelle Tult."
I was just staring at baby Kathleen. She was so small, being cradled by mom
all wrapped around in her blankets. I wanted to hold her, but when I asked mom,
she said not now, because she was fast asleep.
A couple hours later, my mom was resting on the couch after calling
grandma on the phone, dad was cooking dinner, Annie was in her room talking
about how adorable baby Kathleen was, to her friends, and as for me, I was just in
my room playing with my Super Nintendo. I gave a lot of thought about, how I use
to be the youngest in the family, but now I'm the basic middle sibling. I never
actually gave a real thought of how I would react to having another brother or
sister, I mean I was really happy, but still... I never gave the real thought or even
told anybody else, how I would have thought or reacted. I was just too young to even
know still, by my standards. Was I supposed to feel jealous?
I then decided to take a little peek at my baby sister. I basically just got up
from my chair, turned off the video game I was playing, and went to my parents
room, where baby Kathleen was resting in her crib. I opened the door real slowly so
I wouldn't wake her, I couldn't risk on having her cry and having mom and dad
busting me, because I wanted to see her. I then tip-toed carefully across the room;
the crib was on the other side of the bedroom, besides my parents' bed. I just looked
down on the crib; she was sleeping very peacefully, with her little bright pink hat on
her tiny head, and blue bunny blanket covering her. I could tell also that she was
wearing the same colored baby pajamas that matched her hat, from the looks of her
sleeves. I carefully whispered out...
"Hey Kathleen..., I'm your brot...big brother, Bobby."
Just then Kathleen started to move and let out a few cooing sounds, she then
started to move her little arms around, I was afraid she was going to cry. But she
didn't. I continued talking...
"You're so small. I wonder how you view me from your point of view.
Anyway, Katie, I mean Kathleen."
She quickly responded to the name as she looked up at me and started to
smile up and laugh a second later. Her eyes just flashed open and zoomed up at me
the moment I called her, Katie.
"You like being called Katie, don't you? That's while I'll call you from now
on, my little baby sister, Katie."
After I let out a big smile at her, she then looked up at me, and just started to
chuckle again. I then decided to pick her up in her crib and sit at the rocking chair
that my dad bought for mom during the baby shower. The chair was right near the
crib, so I was very gentle as I picked her up, and wrapped my arms to carry her.
"You're so light."
I sat down on the chair, and pushed my toes on the floor carefully as the
chair started to rock back and forth, as Katie just kept her little smile and was
enjoying the ride I was giving her.
"You like this don't you?"
From this moment on, I knew that little Katie loved me, and I loved her back.
It was a very memorable moment in my life that I will never forget. That moment
changed my life forever, but now life was changing very fast, really fast. I just
remembered now, that Katie started to stir around her bed, she was beginning to
wake up, and I had to get to her quickly as possible. I started to run across the bed
and then ran towards her, until I stopped right at her pillows. Once again, I climbed
up the pillows to get to her face, which by the other hand is facing the other side, so
I was basically behind her head. I had to do something, so I started to yell at Katie.
"Katie, wake up! Katie! Katie! I need your help! Please wake up."
Although I started to hear a mumble coming from her, she said, "Not now,
Bobby please I just want to rest."
"No, Katie please I really need your...whoa."
Before I can even finish my sentence, Katie was stirring again; she was
turning to face me. Her hand was so close on pushing me off the pillow, but it
missed. Her right hand was right there in front of me now. I then tried doing
another tactic on waking her up. I started to push her fingers back and forth,
rocking them to get her attention.
"Please Katie wake up, look at me. I need your help." I said weakly.
Katie withdrew her hand, and hid them into the covers. I was starting to run
out of ideas, when I came up with yet another plan, her hair. Maybe I can try to pull
it and that was she has to wake up that, she just has to.
I grabbed some locks of her hair, and started to pull as hard as I can, I can
tell though just looking at her she was starting to get pretty annoyed, so she then
moved her hand again, and started to sweep whatever was pulling her hair.
"No, Katie stop! Please, don't hurt me."
Eventually she did. I was swoop from the pillow and was holding for dear life
at the cliff of her bed now. I looked down at the ground, there wasn't anything there
to help drop my fall, I could die probably.
"Katie, please... Help me."
I closed my eyes, I was afraid on what would happen next, I thought. My own
baby sister was sort of trying to kill me.
"Katie, please help me. I've shrunk. Please I don't want to die. I've shrunk to
an inch tall. I'm totally helpless now. Please save me, your big brother, your only
family left."
I let out a single tear waiting fate, when all of a sudden I was being lifted up.
The lift felt warm. I looked down and found that it was a hand. Katie saved me in
time. I looked up at her, she was confused as I was, but she saved me. I lie down on
her hand, and kissed it.
"Thank you, Katie."
I was carefully placed on her bed again. She just kept staring at me at
unbelief that her once bigger and older brother shrunk of whom; use to lift her off
her feet. I looked up at her, as she did the opposite as it is.
"Bobby, is it really you?"
"Yes, Katie. It's me only I've shrunk."
"How did this happen, I mean are you okay and everything? This is all a
little too weird."
"I seriously don't know what happened, all I know is that yesterday when I
was playing football, I accidentally fell, and dirty oil for some reason got into my
mouth, and I started to have these strange pains. And overnight I shrunk."
"Oh god, I don't know what to do. What am I suppose to do?"
"All those times, when I was watching you, protecting you, and doing what a
big brother has to do to protect his baby sister. I failed. I failed you, Katie. I don't
know why?"
"Oh, Bobby, don't say that. And you're not a failure, you were always there
for me, even after mom, dad, Annie, and grandma passed on. You took care of me
when I was sick, supported me every way. I was always proud to have a big brother
like you watching me, like a guardian angel. And you'll always forever be my big
brother, no matter what size you are. In fact, I still want you to keep calling me your
little baby sister, we are family no matter what. And don't think for a second that I
would take advantage over this situation. You're all I got left, you're as much of my
blood as I am to you. I don't want to lose you."
She was right, how could I ever doubt my own life for one second? It wasn't
a question to be answered. It was a rhetorical question.
"Okay, little sis."
I started to laugh, a bit and so did she.
"That's the spirit. Now, are you hungry?"
"Yes, I am."
"I'll cook us some breakfast, unless you got a suggestion."
"I'll be happy to whatever you cook."
"Alright."
I kept my feelings strong, while she was taking it very well. Katie definitely
was maturing real fast. She didn't need to know how I shrunk, as long as I'm still
alive. Still there we're a few holes though must be filled, but after a long discussion
during breakfast, we've decided that it was for the best that I'd be kept a secret for
a while, we couldn't for me being exposed for a sec. News media would be all over,
and next scientists can come in, snatch me, and put me away where I would be
nothing to them except a specimen to be studied, and what would really be the worst
part is that, I'll never see Katie ever again. She would be by herself in the world all
over. I had to make sure to be hidden, and she has to make sure to hide me any
place possible.
In the last couple of weeks, we experimented with a lot of places for me to
stay hidden and in the end; the decision was that, I would be placed inside Katie's
pocket, any type of pocket I would fit in. Most of the time I stayed within her front
pocket in her jeans, but when she was working, I would be placed inside her blouse
pocket. The blouse pocket, was the most comfortable place to be since it was easier
to climb up and take a peek out, and plus Katie can hear me from down here. So it
was pretty a convenient place to be in.
I admit though that a week ago, wasn't really the most pleasant week I liked.
I mean, I seriously came close on being lost and alone, in Katie's high school.
It all started around a week ago.
The alarm in Katie's cell phone rang, and I was sleeping next to Katie on her
pillow, with her hair wrapped around me. She started to yawn a bit. But looked she
at me at the usual kid of innocence look.
"Bobby, do I really have to go to school." She said weakly, although I clearly
got the joke.
"Yes, sis you have to go to school, plus you almost a year left. Think about
what college you want to go to, and what you want to major in."
"Alright, but remember this isn't a free ride. You still need to help me with
things, I may encounter and find complicated."
"You're complicated, yourself you know."
"Oh, shut up..." She said, as she chuckled. "Come on, time to hop on. I have
to get to school in an hour."
I jumped on to my sister's hand again. She then walked to the living room
and placed me on the coffee table, and placed her low top pink Chuck Taylor's on
the floor. She proceeded to the bathroom, where she was going to shower. While I
hit the on button on the remote to turn the T.V. on, I watched a couple of music
videos, before changing to the news.
A couple of minutes after, Katie was already clean and dressed up for school.
She just went to the living room, and spotted me on the table, but went for her pink
Chuck's and started tying her shoes.
"How do I look?" she asked me.
"Good, I mean pretty. Pretty beautiful."
"Do I really?"
"Of course, I like your pink blouse, it goes well with your shoes, and the rims
on your glasses. I don't even understand why I could have such an adorable and
beautiful baby sister."
"Oh, thank you Bobby. That's real sweet."
"Well, you're like mom and Annie. You're just growing up fast, and looking
just like them, they would have been proud, you know?"
"Yeah, I know."
There was just a pause moment, which felt like an hour passed by real
quickly.
Katie then said, "Well, we better get going. I'm not going to be young forever
like this."
Horrible joke she probably thought of, but I gave a small laugh at least, for
trying. She brought her left hand down, so I could be lifted up and be placed within
her breast pocket of her blouse. The thought of going to school with Katie, I thought
was a bad idea. With me being an inch tall, and being surrounded by several
hundreds of students that were to be giants to me, only bounced in my nightmare. I
had to stay hidden in Katie's pocket. It was my only protection, to the dangerous
world I see before me.
Katie's blouse pocket was typically boring. There was nothing to do, except
look up, or lay down. Wow, I'm so amazed. It's my first day of school, in like 10
years and I can hardly wait, I said sarcastically in my head. I just breathe in and out
and closed my eyes for a second, only to be awakened by my baby sis as she
whispered down in her pocket...
"Bobby, are you okay in there?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Listen how long am I supposed to be in here? Cuz it is
getting a little boring and stiff in here."
"I promise to take you out, during lunch so you can get a little exercise. But
just remember to stay close by. But for now, just be patience. I don't want to lose
my big brother, okay?"
"Alright."
"Love you."
Katie just resumed back to walking to school, and as she arrived, she went on
straight to 1st period. Meanwhile, I was back in my position. I was on my ass in my
sister's pocket. I decided to take a little peak, at what her school looked like in my
view. So I began climbing her pocket, until I reached the fresh air around me. Her
high school classroom looked enormous. Right in the front of the room, a female
Caucasian teacher who looked to be in her early 40's was teaching a lesson, about
solving logarithms. Katie's first period class was Calculus. I could never really
understand math, I would clarify that for my standards of math really, really do
suck. I was just really slow at it.
The lesson seemed to go on, for a bout an hour until the bell rang. 2nd period
was next. The moment the bell rang, while I was slouching in Katie's pocket, I was
thrown back in the minute she got up. It was so surprising for me to actually be
thrown back for the first time by my sister.
A couple of minutes after, Katie went from her Calculus class to her locker to
her next class, AP English. It seemed to me like the whole day was just getting dull
every second. By the time lunch began, I hardly even realized it. I was just asleep
until Katie's finger reached into her pocket, and lifted me carefully up. She gently
rubbed my body with her index finger to wake me as she whispered...
"Bobby, Bobby... Wake up its lunch time. Come on, get up."
I opened my eyes yet again and stood up to view my position. Katie's face
was right in front of, as she held me in her right hand, I then took a look around to
see that we were under a tree, outside campus.
"Where are we? I thought you were getting lunch in the cafeteria."
"Oh, I did but I thought eating outside would be less crowded. Plus hardly
anyone ever eats outside for lunch."
"But, what about your friends?"
"It's okay. I'll talk to them later."
"Alright."
"Well, for lunch I manage to grab a turkey sandwich, some salad, and milk.
Which one do you want to eat?"
"Some of the sandwich, I guess."
"Alrighty."
Lunch seemed to end very quickly, because right after I ate a piece of Katie's
sandwich, and when she finally finished up. I was back in her blouse pocket again.
But soon right after she got to her locker, she bumped to her best friend, Sharon.
The conversation didn't last long as I heard the giantesses talk. I manage to take a
little peak, as I climbed up to see and listen to what they were talking about.
"Hey, Katie where were you at lunch?"
"Oh, I just wanted to eat outside alone. I got a lot in my mind right now."
They had no idea.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do something, like watch a movie
this weekend."
"I'll let you know later, promise."
"Alright, well see you at Ms. Friday's class."
"Okay, see ya Sharon."
The moment took me by surprise. Katie and Sharon were embracing each
other, which brought a full force of speed to me. While the best friends were
hugging, I, all of the sudden fell out of Katie's pocket. It was like I was being pushed
by someone or something. I was falling very fast now. I then began to scream out
Katie's name I again, I needed my baby sister to save me again. But then the
moment I hit the ground, I was out of consciousness.
I was believed to be dead, as I felt like I was floating around in a distant
world of silent. But I realized that my eyes were still closed. I awoke to find myself,
in the scariest situation yet. I was alone. I was by myself in the empty hallway in
Katie's school. What time was it?
Luckily there was a clock right in the other side of the hall.
1:45.
I had to find Katie as soon as possible before she realizes she lost me, I
couldn't survive a day, trap in a school. I could get stomped on, or worst; be
kidnapped by some delinquent teenager. I had to think back. I remember that
nearly a couple of months ago, I went to open-house with Katie. Her 1st period class
was with that Calculus teacher, as I remembered now. Her 2nd period class and her
3rd period class were both on the third floor. 4th period was before lunch, and so it's
1:49 so her 5th period class would end at 2:15. I have less than thirty minutes to find
Katie, because I just remembered again, that during the open house, her 5th period
class was at the first floor, where I'm at, and that her last class was on the second
floor. If Katie goes to her last class, before I can reach her there would be no way I
can reach her now, or if I could survive long enough during passing time.
Her 5th period class was U.S. History/Government. I recall that her
classroom was no more than a 10 minute walk from here, since I remember that the
girls' restroom was here so I was pretty close. And speaking of close, I made a wise
decision to walk on the on the sides of the hall, in that way in case someone comes I
won't get stomped or be found, luckily the lockers give me a more stealth use.
I had to find Katie, wherever she was... I didn't want her to feel... lost
without...me... I felt this feeling before.
I just recalled an old memory again. I remember some sort of thing
happened like this before, only it was the other way around. I was only 15 at the
time, and Katie was only 5 years old. It started as I remember, twelve years ago... I
was with Katie, at the park. It was a glorious Saturday afternoon for me, since I was
all pushed out of exhaustion because of school. The peer pressure thing was really
getting on my nerves. It was a real busy week for me, so my grandma gave me some
time off, while she was keeping herself busy. She promised me that if I take Katie to
the park, she'll double my allowance. A pretty sweet deal I thought, plus all I can do
is take a nap for a while in the park.
Katie called out to me, while I was resting or more like slouching on the park
bench.
"Bobby, Bobby... Do you want to play with me?"
"Not right now, thanks... I'm sort of relaxing right now."
"Please... I'll push you on the swing."
"Maybe later, right now I'm just tired."
"Do you promise, really?"
I let out a weak, but still caring smile to her as I turned me head slowly with
my sunglasses on.
"I promise, but don't go too far from the playground, okay. Later on, we'll
get ice cream, alright?"
"Okay, I won't."
She just scampered quickly, as she headed for the swings in the playground. I
didn't think at first to just look out, but it was reasonable to believe she would be
okay. After all, she was practically right in front of me surrounded by other kids,
and parents talking to other parents, about random adult things. I then notice that
on the other side of the playground there was this very attractive Asian girl, from
my school. Couldn't recall the name at first, she was in my class. I think her name
was Rita Ye or something. I didn't really know her that much, but I usually just
stare at her in my class, when I got bored. She was just the typical stuck up girls,
who cared more for her fashion and popularity at times. Anyway, after looking at
her briefly she looked at me back. She briefly smiled, waved at me, as I waved back,
and then walked off.
Damn, I was hoping she would come over to me, and talk or something. Oh
well, I wasn't particularly hoping to ask her on a date anytime soon, nah...I then
decided to put on my headsets and listen to my CD player for a while, so I can rest.
At least the sun wasn't burning hot. It was like a nice spring day, with the wind
blowing fairly well. It was the perfect Saturday to be lazy as long as you want by my
definition.
I must have rested for some time because after I got up, I realized all the
children were gone. I then looked at my clock, it was 5:30. I was about to go home,
when I realized Katie, she was gone as well. Oh, no! I lost my baby sister. I was
clearly panicking, since it was starting to get dark now. The street lights were
starting to brighten up the dusk park. I got up from my seat, and started to sprint
all over the playground.
"KATIE! KATIE! KATIE WHERE ARE YOU?" Oh, man!
Oh Jesus, where could she be? I started to sprint again yelling her name,
twice. I then saw these two couple on the park bench talking they looked to be about
in their early 20's. Maybe they had seen her.
"Hey yo excuse me, you think you can help me?"
"What's up", the girl said.
"I'm looking for my little sister she's about 5 years old, with long brown hair,
a bow on her head. She was wearing a white Winnie the Pooh t-shirt, blue jeans, and
white shoes."
"Come to think of it, we sort of did saw a little girl not such a while ago, it
was like 5 minutes ago, do you remember Josh?"
"Yeah, I do. My girlfriend and I just entered the park a bit and we saw this
little girl wandering around right over on the other side of the playground, next to
the area where that ice cream vendor shows up."
"Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. I owe you guys."
The guy yelled out, "You're welcome!"
I quickly ran fast as I can, the sun was setting quicker than ever now. I
didn't want to come home and tell my grandma, "hey I lost Katie in the park, so
let's call the police." It was too insensitive to say to an old woman like that. It was
my fault; I lost my sister, my baby sister, because I wasn't paying any attention. The
old haunting of my parents and older sister's demise was recurring in my head. I
was now at the other side of the playground, where the couple said they seen my
sister. She wasn't here she wasn't even by that tree.
"KATIE! KATIE!" Oh no!
I just fell down, and stared straight into the ground, fury was burning on my
hands, I was so angry at myself, I wanted to punch my face so badly now. But I
didn't. I had to relax for a second, keep it cool. It was the only way so I can focus on
finding Katie.
I then heard this loud cry, not so far from here. It was a little girl crying.
Could it be? I started to listen real closely, as I then followed the direction of the
sound. It seemed like the old game of finding the needle in a haystack. I saw a small
figure under a tree, not far from the area that the couple claimed to see my sister. It
was shaking as it gathered its knees up. Oh my god, it was Katie! I ran directly to
the tree, and then slowly walked up as I spoke out...
"Katie?"
It was Katie all right as she looked up at me with big tears in her eyes
dripping down her face. She was crying in fear like any other small little girl. She
then got up to hug me, as I picked her up.
"Thank god. I'm so... sorry, Katie. I should have kept an eye on you. Are
you okay?"
She nodded yes, and said.
"I'm sorry I went far."
"No, no it's okay Katie. It's okay. You're safe now. I'm here and we can go
home. Its fine really, I'm not mad at you, you're my baby sister. I can never get
mad at you, I love you."
"I love you, too."
I then started to walk, as I carried her as she wrapped her arms around my
neck. I was going to carry her home. I couldn't risk losing her again as the sun
finally set. It was time to go home. I had enough of everything for one day, until
Katie asked...
"Can we still get ice cream?"
I thought about it for a second, and simply said...
"Okay, but only because we both need a break from this, okay?"
"Okay."
"And promise not to tell grandma about what happened to day, okay?"
"I won't tell. Sorry Bobby."
"Its okay, Katie."
We were off.
The old familiar cry from those years ago seemed to be resurrected as I
heard one at a distance. It was coming from the girl's bathroom that I passed
earlier. I gave it some thought, and a rekindle of my own trust said, "it is Katie." So
I went back the other way, which didn't take as much time as I thought, and lucky
for me the girls' bathroom was opened. I crept inside, to see that the bathroom was
nearly empty, all except for a pair of pink Chuck Taylor's in one of the lavatories. I
slowly walked up, as I listen to the cry of the familiar call in need. She just kept
crying until her tears began to hit the floor, one drop actually hit her right shoe. The
senses I felt, was beginning to be strong, as I entered the private lavatory. I was
hoping that I didn't enter a lavatory where the girl was really taking a dump. But
after I entered, I was relieved. I was relieved that the girl turned out to be none
other than Katie, I finally found her again. I began to spoke out to my giantess baby
sister...
"Katie! Katie! Down here."
She looked down at me directly, with an awe of surprise of joyfulness as her
crying faded.
"BOBBY!"
I was scooped up once again, as I laid there in her hand. I was at looking at
her face to face now.
"I thought I lost you forever, oh my god. I can't believe it."
"I just heard a familiar cry, and I knew it was you."
She smiled at me, and then at a fast pace, she placed me right on her left
breast. In this sense, I started to hug her back also. It was an odd, but touching
moment for us.
"I'll never lose you again. I was so scared that you could have
been in danger, I was afraid I was going to lose you or other worst possible
outcomes."
"I'm fine Katie, really. Its okay, I just accidentally fell out of your breast
pocket, that's all. And I was lucky this time to find you"
"I should have been watching you. I am not going to make the same mistake
again. I don't want to lose you. I can't imagine how I can move on with my life if
you got yourself lost or killed, by the world you see, because of me, I wasn't taking
care of you properly."
"Katie... please don't push yourself because of this. It's all an accident and
do you remember what I told you about accidents when you were little?"
"I can't remember... Something, something... learning to make it right?"
"Mistakes and accidents happen, but what makes us better learners is to
actually learn what we did wrong, to make it right."
"Oh my god, that was like 11 years ago you taught me that, and I just
remembered until now. I can't believe I forgot about that."
"You're grown up now, Katie. You're a big girl now, well... a way bigger girl
the way I see you in the more physical sense."
She chuckled a bit.
"I know I am. I have to get back to class now, but where should I put you?"
"How about you're breast pocket again?"
"Are you sure about that?"
"I think I'm willing to give that ride another chance, if you're willing to
also."
"Alright", she said with a smile. "But I'm going to be looking in for a couple
of times, to make sure you're in there."
"Just be gentle when you're hugging your friends, and I'll be fine. And uh...
don't run also."
I was back in my sister's pocket once again, as she went back to class. She
was now being very protective towards me, like I was to her before. It was the
reversal role of everything before. I just had to get use to it.
On the following night, right after we got home, ate, talked and went to bed.
It started to rain heavily. There was a cold and dark storm outside, Katie was still
afraid of thunder and lightning for some reason, she almost experienced of getting
shocked by lightning when she was 8. My grandma saved her at the time, though it
almost traumatized her.
I was trying to sleep, but I felt so cold. Katie was right there laying her bed
warm and comfortable next to me, except I was completely shivering on my ass and
moaning. I can hear the wind blow right into the window, as I looked at the alarm
clock:
1:12 A.M.
Katie was startled as she heard my moans and shivers. She opened her sleepy
eyes and looked at me and talked rather sluggish and weak.
"Bobby, is there something wrong?"
"I'm sort of cold here, Katie. You think you can cover me with something?"
She let out a yawn, and gave me a weak smile after. She then wrapped her
fingers around her long brown hair and said...
"Lay down for a sec. Come on, lay down..."
I did so, as she then started to cover me with her hair from my freezing torso
to my icy toes. I was feeling her warmth around me, the caring and loving warmth
of my baby sister, it was another familiar moment.
"How's that feel now?"
"Thank you Katie. I feel a whole lot better."
"Umm...would you want to come a bit closer to me, I'm sort of don't want to
hear the storm like this. Alone I mean. I promise not to roll over you."
"Sure."
I carefully got up, and slowly walked towards her a bit more, as I then lay
down again with her hair wrapped around me. I was right next to right her face
now. She then gave me a sweet and soft tender kiss on my back as I was drifting to
sleep. She even ruffled up my hair a bit with her index finger.
"Night, Bobby, love you."
The next day, before she went to school, I gave her the impression look that I
was going to be hella bored while she's at school. So before she left she decided to
wear her black flat shoes. I thought at first she had a pretty cleaver idea in mind to
keep me company, but at the same time it was pretty odd and abnormal for my
thought as she whispered to me that I was going to play with her feet. She wanted
me to play with her feet, while she was in class. I didn't have a foot fetish, plus I
thought it was sort of weird to do. But I guess it beats being bored inside your
sister's pocket and doing nothing all day.
It was until her second period class, that I spoke out to her I was bored. She
then carefully grabbed me while nobody was looking and placed me right on top of
her right foot. The smell of my little sister's foot was sort of odd, but it was
something I had to get use to, if I want to do something that will entertain my needs.
She began to back up her foot, which caused me to slide down her foot and to the
inside of her shoe. I was then sitting down next to her beautiful black polished toes.
She looked down for a sec and gave me a quick smile, before her toes began to play
with me. I just started to climb on top of her big toe and began to ride it like those
mechanical bulls at bars.
I can tell that she was enjoying having her big brother play with her big toe. I
was relentless at first, but it soon caught my eye to be pretty damn fun. Katie then
began to put her foot that I was on, inside her shoe and out. It was really starting to
get a little kinky afterwards. She must have been doing this for like 5 minutes,
because afterwards I gave her two scratches on her foot to notify her that I was tired
already.
I was now resting right on her toes, I was completely in sweat. I was going to
tell Katie later to get me some water before heading in for next class. While resting I
just stared right at Katie's big toe. It was so beautiful and clean. My sister loved to
take care of her body, from head to toe. She knew how to take care of herself, as I
taught her at an early age of how to groom. I then began to crawl back to her toe
and began to hug it, which she probably felt. I was proud of being her brother and
guardian, and who cares if I was only an inch tall. I managed to take care of her like
this. I was a small guardian angel to her, a protective brother. Never in my life
would I want to see my baby sister get hurt, it was a vow I made to myself since I
first laid eyes on my Katie when she was in the cradle. I wanted her to be happy,
happy with everything that she sees. It was something that I expected her to believe
everyday, a moment in life. I started to kiss her toe now, and said...
"I'm always here Katie. I'll always be here watching you and protecting you
no matter what."
I continued on, and even started to stroke her toe with my left hand until she
gently picked me again and simply whispered...
"I know, Bobby. I know."
She gave me a quick little kiss before placing me back at her blouse pocket
quickly. I was able to even hear her gentle heartbeat from here. The carefulness and
love from my baby sister, was here and coming within her heart, it was a mere gift
to cherish.
I was resting for a while in Katie's pocket until her fingers lifted me up out. I
was looking at her blue eyes directly.
"Sleep well?"
I yawned before saying, "Yeah, I did."
"That's good. Guess where we are at..."
I looked around at my surroundings, to see trees everywhere. Katie then
placed me down on the grass, before she could stand up. She was an absolute
giantess, it was hard for me to even say that she is my little baby sister. The addition
of giant or big did sort of scramble my brain a bit too much. But I rather continued
on to discover where we are at exactly. Then it hit me, this is the park that I nearly
lost Katie from those years ago.
"The park..."
"This is the park where I got lost that one time, those years ago. Right here is
the tree where you found me that day."
I remembered this tree well. She stood right next to it, as she did to me.
Pretty ironic I find that something bigger will be bigger than something else. I on
the other hand started to walk towards Katie, as she then bent down and sat right
down on the grass. She just kept staring down at me for a sec, until she rested her
hands on one leg, and laid the other leg down... as she then spoke again...
"I thought that maybe you and I can just stay here a bit..."
"Why?"
"It's a very relaxing place, it reminded me of everything when I was so
young, my innocence back then. I was reminded of that one incident also."
"Odd... but okay, whatever makes you happy."
Katie just then gathered her legs up and placed me in her right knee, I was
now direct eye level to her. She took off her shoes, just to feel the grass with her bare
feet. The moment just seemed perfect than ever. The sun was beginning to set...
And the wind was less of a breeze as the clouds was stirring fast in the blend of the
sunset colors. It was as if time was taking it's time itself. Katie took off her glasses
and left it on her shoes, as she then revealed her big beautiful blue eyes to me. Her
eyes were just like mine, except jumbo version, I thought.
"Bobby, can you promise me something?"
"Sure, as long as you tell me what it is?"
"Promise me that you and I will always be together."
"Of course we will Katie it's a promise I'll always keep, but why did you ask
me this?"
"Just to make sure that we'll never see each other as a different level of
people, I don't want to do anything that will give you doubts about me. I mean
you're very small and fragile and I-."
"You won't Katie, I'll always think of you as my caring and loving baby
sister."
"Do you really?"
"Yes, I do. You're as much important to me as anybody else in the world."
"I was afraid that you were going to view me as a horrific monster or
something, because of your size and the potential I could do to you."
I laughed.
"You're not a monster, believe me. And no matter what size I am or what
you are, you're still my dorky, caring little sister that I always knew and will always
love forever."
She carefully plucked me off her knee to give me another of her gentle kisses.
"Thank you, Bobby."
We just sat there for the moment just thinking of what the two of us will
become through the passage that further are love as brother and sister than ever
before.
Later that night as we got home and went straight to bed, I couldn't help
though but just keep staring at Katie now. It was hard to believe that back then I
really did raise this most beautiful girl. I watched her every second since she was so
little until she became this magnificent young lady. I took a few steps just to be
closer to her, as I then lay my hand on her colossal cheek. Her cheek felt so warm,
and yet cool at the same time. Of course right after I did so she started to stir a bit
as I then began to slip and slide down the pillow and hit the bed.
"Bobby?"
"Right here Katie?"
"Oh are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I just accidentally slide down to the bed that's all."
"Okay just want to be sure. Do you want to sleep right next to me in the
pillow."
"I'm good thanks. I'm just gonna sleep right over next to the pillow case."
“Okay, good night then.”
By the next morning it probably would be just another day.
