The flight from London to the city of Sirington, in the United States, had been one of the worst experiences of my life. I’m not sure what was the ‘highlight’ of the trip, the arguing couple that sat besides me or being forced to watch the Stepford Wives twice due to a fault in the system. I don’t want to go repeating any old phrases about airline food but…let’s just say it wasn’t roasted duck served with vegetables and red wine, in fact I’m not sure it was even something meant to be edible but the less said about that the better.

Standing in the airport, my suitcase held in hand, I looked around until I spotted a tall dark haired man who I instantly recognised, rushing towards me he held out a hand which I instantly took.

“Robert!” He said, his face filled with joy at my arrival though I could tell he hadn’t got much sleep the night before due to the bags under his eyes, seemingly it was only the coffee in his other hand that was keeping him alive right now, “I’m glad you make it here safely, what with the clampdown on airport security these days,”

I smiled brightly, it had been some time since I had seen Joseph Walters…many years in fact. Back in University both of us were taking a degree in Physics, from this we became good friends as we each shared an interest in two things, girls and getting the best grades though not always in that order. We weren’t really your typical nerdy kids, from appearances anyways, at heart we truly were…making hours spent gaming still makes me grin to this day.

“You know I had to come Joe, I hear you guys have been doing wonderful things,” I responded, the two of us had to go our separate ways after acquiring jobs at different companies with Joe eventually being taken outside the UK. We still kept in touch though and when a high level position opened well, I just couldn’t turn it down.

“Yes yes, of course though I can’t speak about it out here, come on and I’ll take you to your new apartment,” Joe said, his arm reaching around to my back as he led me away and out of the airport.

The company, Vatco, was indeed incredibly rich as could be seen by the large black limo I was led towards. The chauffeur, tipping his hat as he let me sit inside, oozed of class and I couldn’t help but smile as he took my case and packed it into the trunk. Joe climbed in besides me, instructing the driver to head towards 18 Silvercroft Avenue, what was going to become my new home until the money started rolling in.

“It’s a beautiful place Richard, wonderful view of the beach and the security is top notch. I moved in to a similar one when they first hired me out here, though I wouldn’t trade in my Condo for it now,” He laughed a little, it was good to see him again, “Anyway, I better catch you up with what’s been going on down at the lab,”

Joe had surprised everyone back at Uni when he had cracked something new about molecular structure, everyone was astounded and it catapulted him to immediate stardom of the science world. He had found a way to alter certain properties, demonstrated by causing a small dish of pure water to catch fire just like that. Although it doesn’t seem like much at the time it was revolutionary, no wonder he had landed a top job like this.

“They’ve been building on my word, you remember back from University? The molecular change…we’re really getting somewhere here. We’ve been able to…well, I’ll be blunt, we’ve made things bigger and smaller quite simply!” He said, that grin almost jumping from his face.

“I’m not sure what you mean to be honest, you’ll have to forgive me, I’m a little jetlagged still,” I said truthfully, putting a hand to my head, what did he mean by bigger and smaller?

“I mean exactly what I said. Down at the lab we’ve been able to make things get larger and smaller, we tried it with an apple…now it’s the size of a damn watermelon! Don’t you get it Rich? Think about all we could do, a single piece of fruit could feed hundreds, we could miniaturise machines without needing to painstakingly build them small in the first place, it’s, quite simply, nothing short of a revolution in science!”

If at any moment my mouth was left hanging, it was this. For a few seconds I couldn’t think, I thought maybe this was all some sort of elaborate hoax…I needed to see it with my own eyes, this couldn’t be true.

“That’s…wow, that’s amazing,” Was all I could utter, shocked at the revelation, “I’ve got to see this Joe, we need to get to that lab of yours right now,”

Joseph, of course, agreed with a smile. As soon as we reached my apartment I rushed in, using key to get in, and dumped the case. I took a quick gander, the bed was large and all the appliances were there along with a nice looking tv but I had no time to check that wonderful view I heard so much about as I hurried back into the limo and left.

On the journey there Joe and I spoke about the past and what good times could await us already. He seemed truly in love with his work, as always, and we both hadn’t changed a bit…it was like old times again. Surprisingly the trip was short and we got to the lab within the hour, passing through numerous checkpoints and security checks, not to mention being given a security card for future purposes, we found ourselves inside the room…that was a hell of a big apple.

Sure it was only the size of a watermelon but…apples weren’t meant to be that size, I walked over to it and felt it…it felt like an apple. A small hole was on the side which, apparently, where someone had taken a sample for tasting purposes. Nothing had been lost in the transition and I smiled, turning to Joseph.

“So where’s this machine of yours?” I asked, not noticing anything that looked mildly like a size altering device.

“Oh it’s been moved while they fix up the place, we’re having refurbishments. It’s actually round at my house, it’s my project so they trusted me with it. Of course only the people here know about it and Linda of course,” He said, marvelling at my wonderment of the apple.

“Linda?” I asked.

“Don’t tell me you forgot already…” He grinned, “Linda’s my wife, we’ve been together for a year or two now…beautiful girl, really wonderful…man she’d love you…hey, that reminds me,”

Joe rummaged into his pocket, pulling out a small envelope and slapping it to my chest wearing a silly grin.

“I’m actually you’re new boss and this is your first of many pay-packets, you start tomorrow Mr. Matthews,” He said to me, his face and voice suddenly stern until he burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.

“I look forward to it boss,” I joked with him, putting the envelope into my denim jacket and looking back to the apple once more.

“Come on, we better get going. I’ll have the car pick you up tomorrow morning and drop you round my house,” He said, moving to the glass door and opening it for us to leave.

“Your house?” I asked, stepping out into the main corridor.

“How else are you going to work on the machine?” Joe said, both of us leaving the compound.

Waking up the next day I was excited, so much so I almost forgot to have a shower. Thankfully my better senses reminded me to get clean, even though Joe was my best friend he still was my employer and I had to make a good impression. That hour from waking up and getting in the car really dragged on, eating breakfast seemed more like a chore than an enjoyable activity. I needed to keep reminding myself that soon, soon I would be able to see this miracle machine at work.

My eyes were glued to my watch until, finally, at 8am just about, I heard the honk of a car horn. I sped out that door faster than a cheetah after its meal, quickly locking it behind me and moving to the car.

”Thank you,” I said as the chauffeur opened the door for me as had been done the day before and I climbed in, getting comfortable on the leather interior and adjusting my tie as I watched the beautiful houses go by. This city was truly a wonderful place, populated by a large amount and yet there was little crime here, it was one of the success stories of society and it made me feel glad I was no longer in London.

I could tell when we reached Joe and Linda’s home as the limo began to slow down. It stood detached a bit from the other houses, in the background the ocean moving back and forth and a garden that looked like it had just meant to have been there. As the door opened for me and I stepped out I saw the front door of the house open, Joe striding out towards me as he had done at the airport and taking my hand once more.

“Just in time, if you had been late you would’ve been carted all the way back to England,” Joe laughed, waving the driver off, I wasn’t too sure if he was serious or not for once.

As I moved towards the front door with Joseph I almost fell flat on my face when a figure emerged between the frame. Her hair fell down to her shoulders and her face was that of perfection, big green eyes and a body to kill for staring at me. If she hadn’t been Joe’s wife I would’ve done anything to get her, I was notorious for getting my woman back in the Uni days.

“Joe…is this Richard you’ve been telling me all about?” She smiled, her clothing hugging her figure perfectly as she walked towards us and, surprisingly, embraced me in a hug that left me wanting it to go on for longer, “He’s told me all about you and some of what you guys got up to in your younger days, I tell you now he still hasn’t grown up,”

“Haha, it’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Walters,” I said, a little nervous, her American voice was quaint and yet sophisticated.

“Please, in my house call me Linda and I’ll be calling you Richard so we’re cool with that,” Linda said, grabbing me by the arm and pulling, “Come in! I’ve just made tea for us all, you must tell me about your trip,”

For the next half an hour or so I sat there drinking tea with Linda and Joe, telling them about the horrid flight I had the day before and catching them both up to what I had done since getting my degree. Sadly it wasn’t exciting as making a large apple but it kept them entertained enough, complimenting their home every so often as it seemed the right thing to do, though Joe would regularly knock down my attempts at pleasantries with a laugh and the embarrassing stories he had of me.

“Well, I’m sure you didn’t come here just to see me and drink tea,” Joe said all of a sudden, standing up with a wide grin, “Follow me down to the basement and I’ll show you the machine, Linda do you think you could take care of this?”

With a sigh and a smile Linda stood up and began collecting our cups, I offered a thank you and she merely winked at me oddly. Shrugging the event off I followed Joe down into the dark of the basement, dark until he switched the lights on of course.

Soon the whole room was visible, it was practically empty except for some old toys in the corner, according to Joe the family before them had left them there and I noticed a large box, wrapped up with tape. I didn’t inquire as my eyes were soon drawn to the table, sitting upon it was it, the machine.

“There she is Richard, my wife calls it the Shrink-Ray, off of the old tv shows y’know?” He smiled, walking over to it and tampering with a few buttons.

I followed him over, looking at the small screen attached to it and then the long, ‘gun-barrel’ like tube that stretched a few inches outwards. To be honest the machine confused the living hell out of me but I was hoping he’d teach me soon enough.

“I’d love to show you it working but I can’t risk something going wrong in my home, I’m sure you understand. That doesn’t mean we can’t do maintenance work and other things, I’m trying to get this thing to do more than just make things bigger or smaller. Perhaps I can make it replicate molecules…” He smiled, reminding me of the mad scientists from the old kids cartoons back in the day.

“Full of ambition as always,” I joked, looking at the machine once more, “So tell me a bit more about it?”

I spent the day sipping various drinks and eating many biscuits while Joe explained to me the complexities of how the machine worked. Sure it was going to take me a long time to understand but I was getting paid for it, money was never my big motivation but, well, let’s just say my apartment was looking a bit bare.

The next couple of days were the same, though I noticed Linda more than Joe around the place. She seemed a little too friendly perhaps, no offence to my friend of course but she certainly was very touchy feely. Normally I wouldn’t mind this but I couldn’t let my emotions get the better of me, it all boiled down into one moment however, after about a week of my visits to the Walter household.

It was lunchtime and the three of us sat around the kitchen table listening to Joe talk about how the changes at the lab were going. I was casually listening and catching a glimpse of Linda as I felt something brush up against my leg, I thought perhaps they had a pet or something but then I remembered Joe’s allergic reaction to cats and dogs, he had a problem with the fur you see and I knew it couldn’t be that. Looking down my eyes, sneakily, caught a glimpse of Linda’s red manicured toes running gently along my leg.

I gulped, looking to Linda but she seemed engrossed in what Joe was saying. I’ll admit now I’ve always had a thing for that ‘area’ of the female anatomy, I’m not saying I don’t appreciate other things but that area certainly sets a few bells ringing that’s for sure.

The foot moved upwards until I found it resting on the edge of my thigh, Linda seemed to know exactly what she was doing as her big toe gently poked at my groin area. I managed to contain myself long enough as the foot pressed against me fully and firmly, only was I saved by the phone ringing.

As Linda stood I could swear she winked at me once more, my eyes following those beautiful bare naked feet of hers as they stepped across the floor and out of the kitchen to get the phone.

I didn’t tell Joe what happened, I couldn’t. As I left the house that day I saw Joe head down to the basement and I decided to take my chance. Entering the living room I saw Linda laying upon the sofa, her feet propped up on the coffee table.

“Linda,” I said firmly, “What happened earlier…”

I began, looking at her than her feet before forcing myself back to her eyes.

“You liked it Rich, you know you did…I’ve seen you spying on my feet…I couldn’t help but take the chance,” She grinned, her toes curling as she spoke. I had no idea my occasional glances had been that obvious before, I thought I had been discreet about it.

“What I like and what I want is entirely different things, I’m sorry Linda but this can’t happen,” I repeated my firm stance as she stood up, walking over to me and pressing herself against me.

“Come on Rich…Joe wouldn’t even know…” Her voice tempted me like a siren, calling me to the rocks.

“No,” I said, shrugging her hand off my shoulder and turning my back on her.

I did not see the annoyed look in her eyes as I left, her teeth clenched and fists closing tight as she watched me leave her home. Linda wasn’t going to forget this, I certainly didn’t know what to expect but I didn’t expect her to be so twisted and far gone.

In hindsight I should have told Joe.

I thought nothing more of what had happened that evening around the Walter’s house that night, as good as it was in terms of my primal urges I was a man who had morals and a code of ethics and I let them rule me to an extent. Thankfully it was a Friday and I laid my head to rest for the weekend, I wouldn’t need to confront Linda until Monday morning at the earliest. As my eyes began to close I thought back to my times with Joe, the many laughs we had…it didn’t seem all that long ago and now we were on the edge of becoming the most famous men in history.

A peaceful sleep awaited me and the whole weekend seemed to be idyllic. I spent most of the time sitting crossed legged out on the balcony, watching as the waves crashed against the shoreline, seeing families building sandcastles and merely daydreaming of how perfect life seemed here. My fridge had been stocked with enough food to last a few weeks so I wasn’t too worried about going out this weekend and that pay package was enough for me to acquire more than one of the newest videogame consoles, all three in fact. It was only after I had set them up that I completely forgot about needing to sort out my wireless internet connection to get access to the full features, believing I had more time I thought I’d do it later on in the week.

Eventually Sunday night beckoned me to bed, the softness of the moonlight gently easing me to sleep and yet, this time, I was filled with nightmares. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was when I awoke but I was bathed in sweat, I hadn’t had nightmares since I was a kid. Not thinking much of it I merely had a cold shower, it was Monday after all and I had a hunch that Linda’s gaze was going to be as cold as ice. My daily routine of eating breakfast was skipped as I realised I had forgotten to set my alarm, this time I rushed out of my door more for lack of time than excitement.

It wasn’t that I was tired of working on the machine, it was just that some of it was so tedious. Some days I would just stand there and saying whether a light came on or not as Joe tinkered with various parts of it or other components he was messing with. Sometimes he didn’t even explain what he was doing, though I was and have always been confident in his abilities as an engineer as well as a scientist.

Arriving at the condo was a sobering experience, the usual sun had been replaced by heavy, dark rain clouds that threatened to open up at any minute. Saying my goodbyes to Ricky, the driver who I had gotten to know fairly well, I rushed to the door with my briefcase held high over my head just in case. As my hand went to knock the door it opened already, surprised I stood there as Linda grinned and beckoned me in.

“Come on Richard, hurry up and get in before it starts to rain,” She said, practically pulling me into the condo as she shut the door behind, an echo filling the house as it slammed behind like a prison jail gate.

“Linda, is Joe down in the basement?” I asked, thinking that perhaps she had completely forgotten about the little misunderstanding we had the Friday before, “I’ve done some calculations he wanted and I know he’d love to see them,”

“I think he’s down there right now working on that machine of his, you better hurry or else he’ll think you’re late,” She smiled, “I’ll bring some tea down for the both of you,”

I smiled, nodded and thanked her in turn. Hanging my coat up and walking past the familiar hallway and over to the door that led down into the basement, opening I saw the light on and, already, began thinking about what Joe may or may not have me doing today.

I got about halfway down the stairs when I noticed the room was empty, a small light on the machine sure but there was no Joe and there was no other sound either. Linda said he had been down here though, and I had little reason to doubt her, so I carried on down and began to call out his name.

No response.

Moving to the machine I looked over it, for a minute I was worried that perhaps something had happened to Joe. Quickly I used what knowledge I had and checked the computer system, hoping that my fears weren’t realised. Is it possible that…?

No, thankfully, the machine hadn’t been activated properly since the last test in the lab according to the computer screen. Joe was safe and sound, at least, he wasn’t I danger from the machine but where was he…I did not know and as I put my briefcase down for the moment I turned and saw the slippered feet of Linda heading down the steps still wearing a nightcoat wrapped about her snugly.

“I thought you said Joe was down here?” I asked quizzically, waving my arms backwards a bit to show he wasn’t.

“He should be…wait,” She said, reaching the bottom step and climbing down to the solid grown, “I remember now, sorry…I must have been half asleep when he told me. Joe’s gone on a business trip up to head office for a bit, he wanted you to just carry on with the work you were doing last week apparently. Sorry about this, he also wanted me to warn you not to break it,”

Linda giggled a little as she finished her sentence and I couldn’t help but smile, that was exactly like Joe. Turning from her and moving back to the machine I picked up a discarded clipboard and looked it over. Joe had seemingly done some work over the weekend and I nodded to myself as I made sure he was correct which, as you can expect, he was.

“So what’s the use of this shrink ray anyway?” Linda asked, walking over to it and tapping the top idly like it was just some box.

“It’s more than just a shrink ray, it can make things grow larger too. Back in the lab they…” I said before Linda cut me off.

“Yes yes I know all about the bloody apple, you’d think Joe just discovered the answer to life the way he goes on about that fruit,” She said, crouching down a bit and appearing into one of the opened tubes of the machine.

“I’m sure you can understand Linda that maybe this is just that? Maybe we can solve world hunger right here and right now?” I said, lowering the clipboard and taking a gander at this miracle machine myself.

“Whatever you say, I’m not one of you science buffs anyway so don’t expect me to be much help,” Linda said, moving around the other side of the machine to inspect a looking at the screen, “Hey…what’s this?”

“What?” I asked, turning to her and becoming a bit annoyed at her questions. I would have preferred her away from here, she made me uneasy.

“There’s something stuck inside at the end, take a look,” She said, pressing the matter and pointing to the end and then to the screen with her other adequately nailed finger.

Sighing under my breath I moved around the other end, lowering myself to take a look inside. I couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary and I stood up to full height again, slightly more than Linda.

“I don’t see anything, what’s the screen say?” I asked before I saw her hand idly reach towards a small button on the device, time stood still and I could do nothing to stop her.

I thought I had died, the light was so bright, my ears ringing tremendously as I finally was able to see better. I was on my back for sure, above me was one of the basement lights swinging idly, pushing myself up with one hand I looked to my left.

That is when I saw it, the large pink fluffed thing standing just to my left…it was truly huge. Just bigger than my whole body in length. Looking to the right I saw another, crawling backwards a bit as I fell back once more in astonishment. These strange objects hadn’t been there before but the truth only hit me as I looked up.

The pink objects were attached to something much larger and much more beautiful. Towering above me was Linda, her humongous slippered feet of either side of me as I just laid back and stared with awe. This could not be happening.

The bitch couldn’t have shrunk me.

This was, sadly, the truth of the matter and the grin on her face was terrifying as her hand reached down to me. I was too terrified to resist as the fingers that had once been smaller than my own grasp about me and lifted me into the air, closing tight about me and cutting off all light.

My hell had just begun.

I hate fucking Monday mornings.

I had been sitting in a tall glass for about 15 minutes, my mind still not able to comprehend what had just happened. My ears were almost completely deaf from what Linda had said to me as she picked me up and carried me back upstairs, dumping me inside the clear object and walking away, I swear I heard her mention something about ‘fun’. I didn’t know what she meant but what I did know was that I certainly wanted nothing to do with any of the fun she may have had in mind.

Linda had vanished off somewhere, I didn’t know where and I just stared through my glass prison until I heard a slight rumbling. My eyes quickly turned to my left as Linda came jogging into the room, apparently she had just done some sort of daily exercise routine as sweat dripped from her face. She had, however, still not changed out of her robe so it was no wonder she was getting hot.

Immediately she spotted me and with a monstrous smile walked over, her huge face looking over me and beginning to speak.

“Ooo Richard, you look so cute in there…” She grinned, tapping the glass with a fingernail and causing me to flee to the other side, “Don’t be scared, I’m not gonna hurt you,”

Those eyes of hers gleamed brightly, reminding me of the day I first saw her and how I had been encapsulated by her beauty…now she was more of a harpy. Gently I saw her hand wrap about the glass and began to turn it to its side, the slope becoming steeper and me being unable to hold on to anything. I began to dip, falling downwards until I hit the solid wood of the kitchen table. Standing up and turning I looked at her wide face once more.

She was about to speak when the phone rang, Linda quickly placed the glass upside down, trapping me inside, as she went to answer it. The phone wasn’t far from the kitchen too much and, although muffled by the glass, I could hear most of the conversation from Linda’s end.

“Yeah…” She said casually, “I don’t know honey, he showed up this morning and left his jacket and case here but seems to have left again. I think he said something about popping back to the lab for something, I’ll let him know you wanted him…no, you naughty thing, I’m busy…I love you too, see you later Joe,”

As she finished I heard the phone being placed back into its receiver and soon the ever present body of Linda emerged in the kitchen door way once more.

“Now where were we…” She commented, lifting the glass up and standing it besides me. I was only just under half its size…there really didn’t seem like anything I could do. I could run, sure, but Linda would stop me easily, I needed a plan.

“You’re just like one of those dolls I used to have as a kid, so cute,” She cooed at me, her fingernails rapping at the kitchen table as she took a seat, “As a little girl I used to remember dressing them up in different clothing all the time and playing with them, too bad I haven’t got any of those clothes left or else I’ll be dressing you up,”

She giggled and poked at me with her forefinger, pushing me onto my back. As I stood up she giggled some more, the sadistic grin still playing across her face, those red ruby lips glistening.

“I’m not sure what I’m going to do with you,” She commented, smiling at me broadly and still tapping those nails of hers.

“Please, Linda, turn me back,” I almost begged, sure I could play the tough guy but I was no fool here, “I’m sorry for what happened on Friday, you have to understand…get Joe to come back down and fix me up!”

“Fix you up?” She repeated my question, smirking, “Why on earth would we want him to do that. I’ve got a little man all to myself, isn’t that what every girl wants? Why would I want to get rid of my greatest toy little Richy?”

“Damn it, turn me back!” I demanded, quivering in anger and clenching my fists tightly.

I must have looked quite the sight as she just burst out laughing at my predicament.

“My, someone’s getting a little too big for their boats aren’t they?” Linda said, poking me down again but this time holding me to my back with her finger pushed against my chest, “You forget that I have control over you now, if you’re good then I’ll treat you well but if you’re bad….well….let’s just say you better not be bad,”

As the finger lifted off me I gulped, Linda saw this and took pleasure in my fear.

“Come on, let’s watch some TV,” She said, quickly grasping me and taking me from the kitchen.

As I sat there in Linda’s palm, her finger stroking softly against my back, I almost began to accept my position. Her slippers were resting on the foot rest, feet still inside and the robe she wore still fit warmly against her. I didn’t know what she was watching, some US Sitcom I had never heard of but she certainly enjoyed it, every so often a multitudes of giggles or laughs would leave her mouth though I could not actually be certain if these were of the show or of me.

“Richard…” Linda said idly after an hour or so had passed, “Could you fetch the remote control for me?”

I stood up, turning to find it and spotting it resting on the footrest.

“I’m not sure how I’m going to get it…please, turn me back Linda,” I pleaded once more, she did not listen to my pleas as she dumped me at the end of her robe, at about her knee and merely crossed her arms and looked at me sternly.

With a sigh I began, warily, trudging a long the huge bridge of her legs that stretched from the chair down to the footrest. It wasn’t easy, many times I almost fell…I knew if that happened it would be more than a little painful for someone of my size and stature. The feeling of Linda’s eyes upon me all the time wasn’t pleasant either, as I reached the ankle of her left foot I could feel a slight movement but dared not to look back. Taking a leap of faith I jumped from the ankle and onto the footrest.

Moving to the remote I was distracted by the sheer size of the slipper she wore, fear went through me as I looked at the great sole sticking into the air. If I was crushed by those I doubted she’d even feel me. Shaking my head and turning away I walked over to the huge device, unsure of how she envisaged me ever managing to carry the object that weight much more than me back over the leg and to her.

A movement to my right caught my attention, the slipper on her right foot suddenly fell to the floor and I was greeted with the view of her pure barefoot, the toes curling lightly in their new found freedom. Old habits died hard as I was amazed at this sight, not caring that Linda was watching me carefully and grinning all the same.

“Richy…” She said once more, “I would love it if you could scratch the bottom of my sole for me…those slippers sure are itchy,”

I hesitated, the skin was perfect…not a flaw on it.

“Go on,” She said, her left foot, still in its slipper, nudging me along until I stood almost touching it.

Gingerly I reached out with my hands and began itching away at the soft flesh, I felt a shiver go through her foot and a sigh escape her mouth from far up.

“That’s nice, keep going,” She said, surprisingly breathless.

I worked hard on the area of her foot that I could reach, each of my fingers working tirelessly to itch at her foot like she had ordered me to do so. Ordered…makes me sound like some sort of slave, something I was determined not to become.

I turned to face her for a moment and saw one of her hands vanish beneath her rode, soft moaning beginning to come from her lips as it seemed to disappear between her legs. What she was doing…it amazed me, at my size it was as if some mountain was moving violently.

“Oh god!” She suddenly screamed, silence suddenly overcoming the both of us as she collapsed into the sofa, her hands reaching over and plucking me up.

“We have to do that again some time Richard,” She purred, beginning to stroke me once more, I had no true idea what she had in mind, “Come on, we best get some lunch…”

Recovering from my experience earlier I was still unsure precisely what had gone on, Linda definitely had gotten some kind of buzz from it. She had taken me back into the kitchen and left me on the table while she sat and ate a sandwich, every so often she would drink a sip of the wine she had poured.

“Here,” Linda said as she sprinkled some crumbs of bread on to the table, “I bet you’re getting a little hungry now, eat up,”

At first I just stood there, looking at her and the food she had put down for me. Surprisingly at my size the crumbs were quite large, the smallest being the size of about an average hamburger you would normally get from fast food restaurants. She was right about one thing, I was getting hungry though.

My resistance was short lived as I sat down and began to take a bite, it wasn’t much in terms of taste and I had never been a big fan of bread but it seemed to me this was going to be the best I’d get for a long time. For once Linda didn’t pay too much attention too me, her eyes were focussed on the window for some reason and she seemed distracted. I had no idea what but I didn’t wish to ask/

“I’ve been thinking Rich…” Her voice suddenly turned interested as she looked down at my munching, “Since you’re in no condition of going outside why don’t you stay here tonight?”

I didn’t answer, obviously I had no say in the matter and I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of retaliation if I got too enthralled in an argument against this titanic beauty.

“No opinion huh?” She grinned, sipping more wine, “Ah well, I’ll have to prepare the ‘guest room’ soon then. Try not to make a mess little man,”

As much as I detested what she called me I still did not wish to react to her, I had learnt that the best thing to do was to be patient and give her nothing to feed off of. Unfortunately Linda was unlike anyone I had ever met and being this small opened up many more possibilities for her.

I saw her giant hand come towards me, like a huge claw attempting to crush the life out of me. I don’t know what happened but something within me sparked up, if I were a biologist I’d have called it natural instinct or something fancy.

All I knew is that as soon as it came towards me I jumped up and began to sprint away, the edge of the table wasn’t too far and I guessed I could make my way down to the second chair and get to the floor via that way. Linda saw what I was doing, reaching over to get me as I sprinted.

My mind was now filled with escape, I could hear her moving off the chair but I didn’t care. I could see myself get away, I could see myself escaping from Linda and finding a way to get back. All seemed well until a dark shadow passed over me, I dared not stop but my fate was already sealed.

A wall of flesh appeared in front of me, too late I crashed into it and fell backwards. By the time I had pulled myself up her other hand had came from behind and trapped me inside the darkness. I could feel movement as she scooped me up, I tumbled a bit, and ushered me onto one hand. Eventually she lifted one up, leaving me laying upon a palm as I saw her glaring eyes stare down at me.

“What did I tell you about being good?” She scowled, though I doubted she really was annoyed, “Now I’m going to have to punish you,”

Linda twisted her hand and I found myself falling, afraid I was going to die I closed my eyes. I found myself impacting with a soft piece of ground, surprisingly with little injury to myself. As I began to pull myself up another material like that which I was standing on pushed me down and onto my stomach. It took me only a little while to realise Linda had put me in between two pieces of bread.

“Yum yum,” She said with a giggle, I couldn’t move as I felt her fingers press down tightly on the bread.

To my right I could see a small amount of light and began to squirm my way towards it, it was both difficult and painful but I saw myself getting closer. I did not know exactly what was happening, only that the sandwich was moving and, upon poking my head out I saw exactly what she planned.

Slowly I was being moved towards her mouth, her tongue whipping out and licking about her lips slightly. I know her eyes could see me, my small head poking out between the two slices of bread and this only made her move me faster towards the great pit.

I felt her warm breath and her tongue touch against my hair as she pushed the bread against her mouth and slowly began to bit down upon it. Her tongue licked all about my head and over my face, tipping the bread up a bit and releasing her grip I plummeted out and onto the moist tongue. I screamed, I admit to that and this seemed to have helped me in this instance.

Linda poked her tongue out sharply, I had not fully gone into her mouth and her fingers quickly picked the shivering me up. Tears streamed down my face as she held me up to hers.

“Richard, are you alright?” She asked, showing some sincerity for once, “I’m sorry Richard. You just have to promise to be good okay? I don’t want to have to do this too you, really I don’t, just behave,”

I nodded weakly, that act had almost destroyed me. I was still soaking with saliva and pieces of bread was still stuck to me. She carried me over to the sink and dropped me on the side as she poured a small amount of water into a bowl. Testing it out with her finger she put it besides me.

“Go ahead and wash yourself up darling,” She smiled, patting me upon the head with one finger.

Wiping my eyes I once more nodded weakly and walked over to the bowl before I felt her fingers pinch the back of my shirt.

“You’re not going in fully clothed are you?” She asked rhetorically, a familiar glint in her eye.

“L…Linda…” I stammered but she would have none of it, crossing her arms and showing she meant business.

With a sigh I could not object and carefully unbuttoned my shirt after removing my tie. I heard a coo from her as she observed my chest and an even larger one as I removed my shoes, trousers and everything in between. Standing there, naked, I blushed a little. I wasn’t usually shy around girls but, well, this was different.

Pulling myself up I climbed into the steaming water, it was a little hot at first but I began to get used to it. The water went up to my waist and I gently sat down, beginning to wash myself with my hands. All the while I did this I was aware of Linda’s gaze upon me, watching me like a hawk.

Eventually I heard her walk away, at the time I was busy washing my face beneath the water. I didn’t care so much as to where she went, only that I had time to relax a bit. My mind was still scattered from what had happened before, would she really eat me if I complained? I wasn’t so sure but I didn’t want to test it either.

I heard talking but the water in my ears muffled the sound, I couldn’t hear what was said. When she returned a large grin was worn upon her face as I pulled myself from the water.

“Hurry up and get dressed, we’re going to have a guest around,” A predatory smile crossing her face.

As I finished putting my shrunken clothes back on I watched carefully as Linda rushed about the house tidying up. I hadn’t a clue who this ‘guest’ she was talking about could be, I know Joe never mentioned anything to me about it that’s for sure. As much as I held it in I was afraid, what would happen if someone else found me like this?

One thing was for sure, I didn’t want to become some front page article in some Scientist magazine…no way.

“Rich…” I heard Linda call, finishing with the buttons on my shirt as I turn to see her walking over to me. standing on the kitchen side, “Aww, you look so adorable. A good friend of mine is coming over, Amanda, I want you to be nice to her. We’ve known each other since high-school and I know she’ll just want to eat you up!”

I quiver a little as she finishes that sentence, recalling my experience with Linda’s huge roaming tongue and my worry of an imminent demise.

“You’re crazy!” I scream at her, desperation overcoming me once more.

“Yeah? And you’re small,” She says, an annoyed look crossing her face as she pins me down with a huge finger, “I can do whatever I want,”

Once again luck is on my side as the doorbell rings, someone must be looking out for me. Linda takes me into her hand, once more I am surrounded by the darkness as I feel myself being carried. Her fingers aren’t completely shut and I am able to glance out a bit, I see the door open and I look down at the most gorgeous pair of sandaled feet I had ever seen.

“Linda!” I heard what must be Amanda say, suddenly my view being obscured as the two must have hugged, “I was getting bored at home, I’m glad you called. I was worried you had forgotten about me now you’re married!”

“Hehe,” I heard Linda giggle, “How could I forget? I guess Joe just doesn’t like having you around, the bastard…”

“You’re too good for him, you need to get yourself a proper man,” Amanda said as the two let go of one another.

“Speaking of proper men…” Linda said as I soon found the hand opening and me being tipped on to my side.

I lay upon Linda’s hand, sprawled on my back as Amanda looks down at me, astonishment in her big eyes. Although she didn’t have much make-up on she looks almost as good as Linda, one could be forgiven for thinking their sisters.

“Meet Richard…he got caught in Joe’s little shrinking machine I told you about,” Linda said with another giggle, “Here,”

I found myself being tipped into the soft hands of Amanda who cooed at me in wonder, a smile sporting her lips as she tried to think of what to say.

“This is incredible…he’s real?” Amanda asked, her finger beginning to poke at me indiscriminately.

There didn’t seem to be any place that was sacred as I felt her finger prod at my groin, my arousal became obvious and it let loose a laugh from Amanda’s pristine lips.

“He’s real all right…” She grinned.

“Come in and sit down, I’ll make as some coffee,” Linda beckoned, closing the door behind Amanda as she carried me into the living room and took a seat.

“You’re just too cute…” Amanda repeated as she would hold me up and twist me about, sometimes gently moving my arms with her fingers to get a good look at me, “And your clothes…wow…”

I sighed, every time I was dropped back into the palm Amanda would let me try and run away and then pinch me with her fingers again, dragging me back. It was torture in a way, to know that it didn’t seem like I was going to be able to escape with Amanda, and Linda, keeping an eye on me so closely.

As Linda returned she smiled at Amanda, still playing with me and handed her some coffee.

“You should put the little guy to work, he just loves feet,” She said with a grin, it was strange to hear my secret bounded about so openly now.

“Oh really? Well I have been walking all day…” Amanda said with a childlike smile on her face, she kicked off her sandals and set me down on the same foot-rest that I had been on before, this time it was Amanda’s feet which was sprawled upon it.

“Well, go on little guy, give my feet a nice good massage,” She giggled, shoving me a little with her foot.

I sighed, though I was notable excited by this prospect all the same. One of Amanda’s beautiful feet lay before me and I begun by repeated what I had done to Linda, scratching at it softly, Amanda had other ideas. She turned her foot on its side so her sole was laying down. I immediately understood and begun to gently caress with my feeble hands, squeaks of pleasure coming from both Amanda and Linda.

“He’s so cute and this feels so good!” Amanda smiled, watching me carefully, “I need to get me one of these,”

“Not this one, he’s all mine,” Linda said with a grin, the word ‘mine’ echoed in my head as I kept rubbing.

God this was demeaning though, here I was massaging the foot of a woman I had only just met because she told me too. It’s not like I could protest, I was fearful of being completely squashed by them to be honest.

I was caught off guard as I felt a pinch around me, my hands stopped to try and pull out and I noticed it was in fact Linda’s foot that had grabbed me between her big toe and the one besides it.

“Hey!” Amanda said, “He wasn’t done!”

“Calm down Amanda,” Her friend smiled, “I want to try something with the little guy,”

I watched as Linda lifted me up slightly, holding me between her toes. What happened next I could not have imagined. Slowly Linda began to crunch her toes together, moving me with them and rubbing up against my already large erection. Involuntarily a moan left my mouth.

“He likes that…” Amanda commented as Linda continued, slowly getting faster.

I was in ecstasy, Linda’s foot was driving me insane and soon I was nearing orgasm. With a long moan I released myself, the patch on my trousers being evident and both of the girls let loose a huge giggle at my predicament. Linda moved her foot over Amanda’s hand and dumped me into it with another laugh.

“Wow little guy, you didn’t last long,” Amanda smiled as she poked at the wet patch, “I hope you’re not all tired out, my other foot still needs some attention…”

I couldn’t speak, Amanda dumped me back in the same place as before and I was forced to repeat the massaging of her other large foot, though my heart wasn’t really in it. My body was weakened and I just wanted to rest, Amanda and Linda would have none of it.
