"Gosh, I just don't know what's going on, I was feeling fine all of a sudden and then..."

Laci spoke to the school nurse, Ms. Wong, across from her. 

"It's okay, honey," the nurse replied, "it's probably just a stomach bug or something of that sort. Do you mind if I take your temperature?"

Laci had made it through the entire day, but just after lunch, her day took a turn for the worse. Out of nowhere, her chest began to tighten, her sinuses started to act up, and she was so dizzy she could barely walk.

"Well, I don't know what to say," Ms. Wong was stumped. "You should rest here for another fifteen minutes or so, and if it isn't gone by then, we'll send you on your way."

The woman asked her a few more questions before stepping out for coffee, leaving her alone to lay on the cold sheet of paper lining the bed. She lay there for a bit, barely able to catch her thoughts, before she quickly realized that she should tell her mom that she's probably going home. She reached into her left pocket, but found that it was empty. The illness must've been messing with her sense of direction - she checked in her right pocket.

Still nothing.

Where was her phone? She looked to each side of the bed, but came up short. As she started to get up to look for it, all of her senses seemed to suddenly explode. She screamed out as loud as she could in pain, but just as quickly as it began, it was over.

Unable to process what had just happened, she figured a number of people would come rushing in to the room, startled by all the noise she made. However, once she came to, everything looked different. The paper sheet that lined the exam bed was all around her, like she was in a huge field of cotton. Everything seemed so far away. As she started to move, she was startled by how slow she was.

This seemed impossible. She looked down at her own body and began to process the situation.

Impossible.

She had no idea how small she was, but she couldn't have been taller than seven inches. Before she could even start to accept her new reality, mountainous footfalls sounded from nearby. 

"Ah, good," the sound of Ms. Wong's now thunderous voice reverberated on all sides of her. Laci hadn't even realized she should start running before she was swept up by the woman's digits. In a matter of less than half a minute, she was swept through the air, held down a cold surface, tied up with what felt like string, gagged with a cotton ball, and haphazardly tossed into a purse. She tried her best to move her body toward the opening, which shined the only source of light in the cramped space. The light was blocked by the face of her captor, who whispered to her.

"This is just until we get home, sweetie," Ms. Wong said before zipping the purse up completely, trapping the gagged & tied-up tiny girl in complete darkness. 

Laci couldn't believe the last minute of her life. She immediately tried her best to scream out for help, but was likely making little to no noise. As the purse was set down somewhere, the contents - including Laci - shook around a bit, pushing her up against something. She was blinded by the light of the screen in front of her, but as her eyes adjusted, she saw a picture of her dog.

It was her phone! The nurse must have taken it from her at some point when she was disoriented. She frantically tapped her head against it, trying to put in her pass code, but found that no matter how hard she pushed herself against it, she would probably have to give herself brain damage just to get a single number in. The screen turned dark again.

This was how she spent the last couple of hours of school. Just a short time ago, she believed shrinking to be a complete impossibility, and yet here she was, less than a foot tall, trapped in someone's purse. Her mind filled with fear at the thought of what the school nurse was planning to do with her. 

A couple of hours later, she felt movement again. She was set somewhere, and could hear an engine roar under her. More movement. Then she was set down. Laci was blinded once again as the zipper was undone. A terrifying hand reached in and grabbed her. Her restraints were undone and the cotton ball was finally removed from her mouth. She thought about screaming for help once again, but the grip on her body began to tighten. 

She looked, suspended in air over a couch, at a different Ms. Wong - instead of her usual school nurse outfit, she was in a relaxed attire - a sweater and dress pants. 

"I'm sorry for restraining you, but I couldn't risk you finding a way out of my purse." 

A door opened behind her. Laci felt excited and anxious - was Ms. Wong going to get caught? She looked over to the front door, where a girl she quickly recognized to be Alice Wong was.

"Hi mom," Alice said calmly. "Did it go well today?"

"Yes dear, I've got her right here actually," Ms. Wong replied. Alice excitedly ran over, and gasped in amazement at Laci's shrunken form.

"Oh my god mom, you have to understand, this is like, the hottest girl at our school!"

Laci quickly realized that she was totally naked, and desperately tried to cover herself up, unable to free any of her limbs from the mother's tight grip.

"She's squirming around in my hand, look," Ms. Wong noted, inciting a hearty chuckle from mother and daughter.

"What is this? What do you want with me? Let me go!!!" Laci yelped, unaware of just how pathetic she sounded to the two giants, who laughed even harder.

"Sorry, pipsqueak, you're ours now!" Alice mocked.

"Now now, Alice, let's not be spiteful," her mother corrected. "After all, Laci is going to be a big help around here."

"Yeah, whatever you say. Let me know when you break her in, I'm going to check to see if my shoes are done," Alice ran off.

"Don't let Alice upset you," Ms. Wong reassured, "she really doesn't mean it. She's just putting up a front for you tinies. She's a really nice girl if you get to know her."

"Wait, you guys shrank more people than me?"

"Yes, three more as a matter of fact. Well, three of them are still around, I mean. We've moved around a lot in recent years, making sure to collect tinies everywhere we go. You're our newest one - congratulations!" 

Laci didn't even know where to begin. She was petrified at the thought of being added to this family's collection, as it was clear that Ms. Wong already thought of her as property.

"W-why do you do it, though - shrink people, I mean?" Laci asked.

"Hmm... Well," Ms. Wong paused, as if to take a second to think about her answer. "We use you little things for household labor... Cleaning our shoes, helping us with dishes, that sort of thing... You'll even learn how to do our laundry!" 

She spoke of servitude like it was a high honor, and the most exciting thing Laci could possibly be doing.

"So... like... slaves?"

"Slaves?" Ms. Wong chuckled. "You've got the right idea. I don't like using that word with new tinies because it usually has negative connotations, but yes. You're going to be our little slave!"

Laci couldn't believe this woman was being serious.

"Ma'am-"

"Ms. Wong is fine," she interrupted.

"Ms. Wong, this is really messed up and illegal. I don't know why you think I would want to be your... slave..." the word made Laci's skin crawl, "but you need to undo this very quickly before you get in serious trouble."

The mother holding Laci in the palm of her hand thought for a few seconds. "So, it's going to be like that, then?" The friendly, hospitable tone from before had shifted into the most terrifying, domineering voice the tiny girl had ever heard. 

"I-"

"No," the giant mother cut her off. "You are done talking. I don't think you understand how much power I have over you. I could just..." - the grip around Laci tightened enough to make her squeal, before subsiding - "...I invited you into my house and you insulted me, so now I'm going to have to punish you."

"Wait, no, please, I-" Laci continued pleading, but Ms. Wong was not hearing it at all. She grabbed a pair of light black winter boots and set them at her feet, then found a pair of socks.

"The funny thing about that shrinking serum I put in your lunch today," she started, "I figured out pretty quickly that shrunken humans can take about fifty times the damage of regular humans and remain uninjured."

Ms. Wong dropped Laci into her sock. She could already tell it had been used today, as she was surrounded by the scent of fresh sweat. 

A foot invaded the space, and before she knew it, Laci was pressed firmly against the woman's giant sole. She felt intense vertigo as the foot was lifted off the ground, and wondered how she didn't die at the immense impact that followed. This repeated, over and over again. Despite what Ms. Wong had just said, it felt like Laci's whole body was wracked with pain. Then, a voice up above sounded off:

"Let's go for a walk."

Laci screamed as her body was peeled off of Ms. Wong's sole. The walk had gone on far longer than expected, as Ms. Wong had run into an old friend on the street and gone out for coffee. Apparently nobody on the street could hear Laci's screams as she was stepped on over and over and over, and by the end of the walk, Laci was essentially stuck to the giant sole.

"You know, you made a pretty good insole," Ms. Wong said. "Hopefully you'll make a better slave, though."

She set Laci down on a coffee table while she went away for a bit. 

Laci could barely stand up. Her mind was unable to make heads or tails of this situation - a few hours ago she was a five foot six regular high school senior, and now she had just been used as an insole by somebody's mother. 

The massive foot falls erupted below as Ms. Wong came back into the room, reminding Laci of what she had just been through. Instead of picking her up, the woman's hand came down and dropped some kind of black garments next to her.

"Put those on, young lady," the matriarch still had a no-nonsense tone.

Laci was ready to do just about anything to avoid being stepped on again, so she quickly inspected the clothing, only to realize it was a lingerie set. She looked up at her captress. 

"What are you looking at? Put it on," Ms. Wong began impatiently tapping her foot - no doubt a subtle hint at the fate that might follow Laci should she refuse. The tiny woman grumbled under her breath and put the lingerie on.

"Good. Now, I'm going to leave you with Alice for a bit so you can meet the other tinies." 

The giantess took Laci in her hand to the girl's bedroom, where she could quietly hear ambient pop playing through a speaker. The mother knocked on the door in an authoritative way, and her daughter came speedily to open the door.

"Ooh, I finally get some alone time with the new girl," Alice teased. 

"Bring her back to me in a couple of hours," her mother said before handing Laci over.

Alice's room was stylish - she had all kinds of music posters everywhere, and despite the fact it was still daytime, the room had a nocturnal atmosphere as the blinds were shut and mood lights were everywhere. With some of the bands on these posters, Laci wondered if she might have become friends with Alice had all of this not happened.

Alice's grip was different from her mother's - there was a clumsiness to it, and more of a sense that she could fall out of the hand at any point.

"Welcome to my room... You're mostly my Mom's, so you're not going to see too much of it." Alice collapsed onto her bed with her tiny still in hand, and placed her on her chest. "I think she wants me to introduce you to the others. She has one of them right now, but... let's see..." she began unbuttoning her jeans before reaching in. What she pulled out rocked Laci to her core.

She didn't know what it was at first, but quickly realized that it was a man covered in Alice's juices. Alice held him by the foot, so as to avoid getting any on her hand. She brought up a washcloth and placed it on her shirt, setting him down on it. He was several inches smaller than Laci, a dwarf in comparison.

"Do not step off of that, little man. If you get any pussy juice on my shirt, you're spending tomorrow night down there too, understand?"

"Yes, Goddess," the man complied.

"Don't worry Laci, this guy's only down there because he's such a clumsy little fuck up. He was my Mom's coworker at the last place we lived. Apparently he had a crush on her or something. She invited him over for a date and..." Alice let Laci fill in the blank. "Anyway, he cleans my shoes now, but I don't know why I trust him because he always leaves scuffs."

Laci couldn't even hear what Alice was saying, the smell of her womanhood was eminating off of the pathetic man in front of her. She couldn't believe these people would be so horrible as to do this to innocent people, but then again had no choice but to comply.

"Anyway, you've seen him, so..." The man didn't resist in the slightest as he was grabbed again, and placed back inside the girl's panties. Laci was lifted into the air as Alice got off the bed. She walked over to her dresser, and opened the top drawer. Inside were dozens of pairs of socks, and a sleeping man. Alice snapped her finger a few times.

"Hey. Wakey wakey, little guy," she commanded, and he quickly responded. "This is my ex-boyfriend, Laci, if you can believe that. What a loser. It took him two weeks to cheat on me, so I let my mom know. We usually have to share him, but now that there are an even number of tinies, he's all mine..." She turned her head to face him. "You hear that? You're all mine... Loser." As he looked up at her billboard-sized face, the words seemed to hit him on a deep level.

Both her ex-boyfriend and Laci were dropped in a massive fish tank that had Alice's sneakers in it. Even at Laci's new size, she thought they looked clean to a pristine extent.

"You see this...? And this?" Alice pointed out numerous tiny marks and scuffs that nobody her size would reasonably notice... except her. "That's not acceptable, OK? These shoes need to be perfect. You know what happens if you give me anything less," she gently rubbed her crotch.

"Now, go make your Goddess happy, you two!"

"Yes, Goddess," the man across from Laci responded. "Y-yes, Goddess," Laci followed suit - Alice sinisterly smiled down at her before returning to her bed, her shuffled indie playlist drowning out all noise in the room. 

Laci wondered how exactly she was supposed to clean the shoes without a brush when she noticed that her male counterpart had already bent down on all fours to start licking one of the scuffs. Laci almost gagged when she saw this, but then remembered the moist, emasculated man marinating in Alice's vagina. 

With minor hesitation, she started spitting and licking against the marks, using her arms and elbows to try to get them off. Laci realized how ridiculous she must look, in sexualized clothing, on all fours like an animal, dragging her tongue against the dirt on somebody's shoe. She tried not to think about how easily she had been coerced into slave labor. 

Surely, the second escape became an option, she would take advantage of it and get out of here. 

Laci and her male counterpart licked and sucked on the shoes into the evening when a knock came at the door. Even though it seemed so far away, she could hear the entire exchange in which Ms. Wong asked her daughter to bring "her slave" back soon. After she closed the door, Alice came over to check on the two.

"Good giiiirl!" Alice said, inspecting the car-sized sneakers that had just been strenuously labored over. "I'm kinda jealous that my mom gets to keep you..."

---

"This is where you'll be sleeping tonight," Ms. Wong said, showing Laci a hamster cage that sat on top of her dresser. There were two socks inside, meant as makeshift beds. The terrifying anger that the mother had expressed earlier was mostly gone, although the tiny woman was well aware that it could come back any instant.

"Now, last but not least, you get to meet Courtney."

It was like seeing a ghost. On Ms. Wong's bed was Courtney Kirk, a college freshman who had gone missing two years earlier. 

"We found her walking home from school one day, and offered her a ride."

Her case had shaken up the whole town. She had been going through relationship problems, and so her boyfriend was convicted of her murder. Laci couldn't believe the unbelievable cruelty of these people - and yet, it only made her want to do even better by them, as it showed her what they were capable of should they find her disappointing. A single tear rolled down her eye as she looked at Courtney, wishing she could help her. The helplessness of the situation began to dawn on her, as she realized that she might not get out of this so easily.

After she got ready for bed, Ms. Wong relaxed that night by reading a book in bed. Courtney held up the spine for her, and Laci turned the page. 

That night, Courtney and Laci slept next to each other in their captor's dirty socks, never saying a word.

It was a busy and bustling morning in the Wong household - three of the slaves were busy desperately lifting clothes into a washing machine, all while Ms. Wong, dressed and ready for work, sat back at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and scrolling through her phone. Her feet were up on the table as Laci gave her a foot massage, pounding her fists and pushing her body into the sole as much as possible. She labored endlessly so that her mistress could enjoy a pleasant morning. 

"Be back in a minute, sweetie," the mother said, putting her feet down and setting the phone down next to Laci. Once she had left the room, Laci stared at the phone. She knew the passcode - 1980 - as she had seen her mistress put it in too many times to count. Then, she remembered something else... 

Her first attempt at getting her phone on. She couldn't do it because it required more pressure than she could give without hurting herself in the process. But, as Ms. Wong had said earlier, shrunken people can take more damage than regular people.

She ran over to the phone and slammed on it as hard as possible, finally getting the passcode screen to turn on. She hammered in the numbers - 1... 9....... 8..... 0!

She was in. 

As she looked at the date, she couldn't believe how long it had been since they had captured her. Five months. Five months of doing their household chores, massaging their feet, accepting all of their condescending comments. Five months licking their boots clean.

Regardless, she had figured out how to use the phone, Alice was asleep in her room, and Ms. Wong was in the bathroom doing her make-up. This was the perfect time. As she opened up the email app, she thought of her father's email. She had it all in front of her - the perfect opportunity for escape. She laughed to herself, properly enjoying the moment for the first time in months, before she suddenly stopped. Something overcame her in that moment.

She exited the app.

She slammed against the button on the side, locking the phone again.

She went back to her prior position and sat there, waiting for her mistress. 

Within a few minutes, both Ms. Wong and a half-awake Alice came rushing in. They both put their feet on the table. The scent of foot funk surrounded Laci on all sides. 

"Okay honey, why don't you do Ali's feet for a bit, come back to mine, and keep switching. We've got another hour or so before we head out, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy our company."

"That means get to work, small fry," Alice added with a yawn. She cracked her toes, slightly startling the tiny woman in front of her. 

Laci spent that morning cowering underneath the feet of the mother and daughter that had complete control over her existence. She accepted that this was her life now, and it wasn't going to change.
