Jake looked over the glossy expanse of his computerized haven, the government-funded laboratory he called home, and couldn’t help but smile with a swelling sense of pride. Growing up a mathematical and engineering prodigy, his family always knew he was destined for great things. However, not even they could’ve predicted he’d be running his own personal mad science project, with the state paying the bills, so the twenty-two-year-old genius could just work on constructing the future.

            He wasn’t alone, of course. This grant allowed him to hire a whole staff if he chose, but Jake preferred to work in a very small team: just himself and one lab partner. Too many cooks in the kitchen, metaphorically speaking, would impede his work. Jake also chose not to hire someone with extensive lab experience, but rather a bright and spunky eighteen-year-old science lover named Julie. The curvy blonde student, smart as a whip and achingly lovely to boot, had done a marvelous job of aiding Jake in the lab over the last year, and he couldn’t be happier to have her around.

            The lanky young man wrapped his lab coat tighter around his slender frame and spun around on his swivel chair. He was here earlier in the morning than usual, but didn’t want to dawdle. Today was a particularly important day for him and Julie. For months, she’d been urging him toward one specific advancement which, if it worked, would evolve human knowledge of biology and physics altogether: a size-changing device. The technology was fine-tuned enough for the first real field-test today. Initially, Jake wasn’t as keen on this invention, instead focusing on other devices, but Julie insisted, and eventually her enthusiasm rubbed off on him. Plus, Julie had a certain way of persuading him in directions she liked best, which ultimately worked out well, so Jake gladly went along.

            In fact, the pair of them had become good friends over the last year, or at least as much as Jake allowed. He hadn’t even known how attractive the girl was upon first hiring her, instead basing his choice off her references and resume, before meeting her in person. Still, Julie was a master of multitasking, able to quickly perform her work without mistakes, while still finding time to cheekily flirt with Jake. At first, he just assumed it to be her playful personality, but as time went by, he wondered if her desires went further. Jake was a man of science, and didn’t want any distractions, romantic or otherwise, to get in the way of his research. Nevertheless, he also wasn’t blind, and steadily found himself noticing Julie more and more, no matter how hard he tried to deny it, given all the time they spent locked in the restricted laboratory together.

            “Good morning!” Julie announced as she entered with a spring in her step. Though she wore the lab coat as usual, the golden-haired whiz had a couple extra buttons undone near the top, allowing her ample bosom to peek through. The girl took a seat beside Jake at the lab table.

            “Morning,” Jake said with a smile, startled by Julie’s sudden entrance after he’d just been thinking about her. “Did you sleep well?”

            “Yes, I did, even though it got really hot in my bedroom last night. I don’t know why, but it was just so stuffy,” Julie nonchalantly explained. She fanned herself, puckering her lips to blow cool air.

            “Ah. But it got fixed?”

            “No, I just ended up taking off most of my clothes,” she shrugged. Her finger tugged at the lapel of her lab coat, and for just an instant teased caused the uniform to tighten around her hourglass figure. She winked. “You know, just pulled it all off, right down to the underwear. Once I did that, I slept like a baby. I highly recommend it!”

            “Y-Yeah, I’ll, um… consider that in the summer,” Jake coughed. He was used to Julie talking like this, and never minded it since it didn’t interfere wit her work, but it also was becoming harder to ignore as a man. When he turned to look at her again, he couldn’t help but imagine Julie’s lab coat buttons popping off, followed by her blouse and skirt beneath, all cascading to the floor, until she was left in her skivvies, revealing her radiant skin, luscious curves, and various hidden assets. Flustered, Jake quickly turned away and pretended to type on his computer.

            “Something the matter, Jake?” she asked.

            “Huh? Oh, no. I’m just thinking about today’s field test. I want to make sure everything’s in place.”

            “It’s all there, just how you like. I triple-checked the numbers, believe me,” Julie encouraged. She leaned nearer to him, resting her cheek against her upturned hand. “It’s going to go perfectly. The thing you’ve wanted to make for so long will finally be real!”

            Jake nodded. Technically, it was Julie who’d wanted him to make this thing for so long, not him, but he also wasn’t against major technologic strides. Indeed, the size-changing device had turned out to be one of his most impressive creations, assuming it worked correctly today. It would serve myriad purposes outside the laboratory, and Jake would again take the scientific community by storm.

            “Do you mind if I grab a snack before we get to work? I didn’t have time to eat breakfast before I came over,” Julie explained.

            “Sure.”

            “Thanks!” The girl opened her purse and extracted a baggie full of multicolored gummy bears. She plucked a green one out, but didn’t toss it directly into her mouth, instead casually rubbing it along her plush lips. “Sorry, I just do better work on a full stomach. I’m sure you noticed already, though.”

            “I did,” Jake said. “Please, go ahead.”

            “Don’t mind if I do!” With that, Julie tossed the gummy over her teeth and sealed her lips. She didn’t begin gnashing the candy between her molars, thought, but instead slurped it from cheek to cheek, pressing it hard enough that a nub shape formed on the outside for just a moment before she pulled it to the back of her throat. With a hard, melodramatic gulp, the girl swallowed the bite whole. A moist glomp sound accompanied the act of dragging the bear into her gullet. “Mmm. I love gummies when they’re fresh and squishy. You always have to eat them before they go stale, or they’re no good. You know what I mean, Jake?”

            “Y-Yes,” he said. He was having a hard time focusing on his computer when Julie was making such a show right beside him.

            “They’re really delicious, but the problem is, they’re so small and basically just made of sugar and jelly, you have to eat a handful at least to feel full,” Julie said. Her fingers dug through the bag again and grabbed another, the color red this time. She teased it against her teeth, only pushing through the bear’s buoyant head, which she nibbled off with her gleaming pearly whites. Her eyes never wavered from Jake, and he was keenly aware of it. After sucking on the gummy piece until it melted in her warm mouth, Julie tossed the body in as well, and gulped it away too.

            Jake pulled at his collar, feeling a little stuffy himself now, and not due to the lab’s temperature. Part of him wondered if it would truly be so terrible to indulge a little, and answer Julie’s constant flirting in kind? Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Julie swallow several more rainbow-hued gummies whole, while her gorgeous brown eyes remained glued to him. It was hard not to picture those gelatinous candies being tossed around the circumference of her pretty mouth, marinated in her saliva, mashed on her cheeks, squeezed under her tongue, and finally nuzzled into the dark tunnel of her esophagus, where it was slowly constricted by the slime and pressure on the way toward her stomach. Such a simple act, and not overtly sexual, yet Jake found himself strangely enraptured by Julie’s snacking.

            The pair sat in relative silence in the lab for several agonizing minutes. The only sound came from the intermittent tapping on Jake’s keyboard, plus the damp, suckling sound effects of Julie’s cheeks massaging her gummy bears into their dank new home. In such a large lab, an echo effect was created from the blonde’s over-the-top eating habits, and Jake could hear slurping and tongue-wagging all around the laboratory, as though the room itself had transformed into a gigantic version of Julie’s mouth.

            “Why don’t we get started?” Jake said, when he could handle it no longer. If he didn’t busy himself with the experiment soon, his self-control would surely be tested. He still felt Julie’s innocent gaze zeroed on him, unblinking, studying his twitching reactions to her sticky snacking.

            “Sounds good to me!” Julie repacked the gummy bag in her purse, which she tucked under the lab table, then gave her waist-long hair a ravishing toss over the opposite shoulder. She licked her lips slowly, her tongue stained with red and green gummy dye, and broke a strand of gooey saliva strung from the roof of her mouth to the basin. A giggle rumbled in her throat. “Lead the way, Jake.”

            “Right. Let’s get to work.” Jake unlocked the storage unit on the opposite counter, removing the case which contained the size-altering device. He set it down on the table. As he unlatched it, Jake couldn’t help but notice Julie’s eyes were big as dinner plates; she was practically drooling with interest in the invention, though maybe that was just residual from swallowing gummies whole.

            “It’s funny, I’ve run a lot of the diagnostics for the simulation tests, but I haven’t actually… you know… learned all the finer details of this thing,” Julie said as Jake picked up the pistol-shaped device from its foam casing.

            “I’m sure you’d know more than you think,” Jake said. “You’ve seen me messing around with it for a couple months now.”

            “Well, sure, but we haven’t talked through how it works beat-by-beat. Don’t you think I should know all the mechanics of it, too?” Julie suggested. “As your lab partner, I want to be able to know as much as I can, and be as useful to you as possible.”

            Jake regarded his eager employee: beaming, beautiful, and hopeful. How could he say no to her, especially when she was so determined to further her own scientific knowledge? He smiled.

            “Of course. So, take a look here,” Jake began. He demonstrated each feature, pointing out the metallic segments while he spoke. “It’s designed to be user-friendly, since theoretically this will have everyday uses, if we can get it to work like I think it will. We want everyone to be able to operate it. So, here’s the barrel, and the nozzle at the end, where the particle ray will be transmitted. Anything it hits directly will have its size altered according to the settings chosen on the touchscreen. Speaking of which, you can see here on the reader how easy it is to select a new size for the subject, either in imperial, metric, or simple fractional measurements. Then of course you have the trigger here. Once the device is primed, indicated by the green light in the corner, all you have to do is take aim, squeeze the trigger, and the energy will flow. The size transition should take place in less than a second.”

            “Wow. That really is pretty simple!” Julie agreed. She reached out, touching the barrel of the pistol. “So what will we be testing it on today?”

            “I thought we’d begin with wooden blocks. After we’ve had multiple successful rounds with those, we can try other such materials. Then, if we’re lucky, in a few months, we may even be able to try it on organic material.”

            “Oh,” Julie sighed, looking disappointed. “You mean we can’t try it on a living thing just yet?”

“You know the procedure,” Jake said. “We have to start with these.”

            “But you do think it would work, right, Jake? Like if you tried to shrink… oh, I don’t know… a mouse. It would actually shrink?” Julie asked.

            “Of course it would.” Jake smirked. Though he was technically and studiously minded, he wasn’t above a lapse of ego. Plus, he also happened to know he was right.

            “I see,” Julie replied. Her eyes were locked to the size-changing pistol, which Jake laid on the table. “It looks like it’s not powered up yet.”

            “Oh, it is. We’ll just have to click off the safety measure right there,” Jake said, then stepped away from the desk. “I’ll go gather up our subjects and we’ll move into the testing area to see what happens. But I have a good feeling about this.”

            “So do I,” Julie murmured, winking again at her young boss. She twiddled her thumbs and gently nibbled the corner of her lip, looking him up and down from scalp to shoe. “So do I.”

            Jake made his way across the room and rooted through the drawers for the wooden cubes. Once he’d found them and turned around to face Julie again, though, he was a little surprised to notice she was not only holding the shrinking device now, but pointing it aloft, with her finger hovering dangerously over the trigger.

            “Great. I’ve got the subjects. Can you bring it with you, and we’ll start the testing in the other room?” Jake said. He added as kindly as possible: “Just be careful where you aim that thing.”

            “Actually, I thought maybe we could start the testing in this room instead!” Julie said.

            Jake frowned. Never had his lab assistant ever defied a single instruction he gave. It took him aback. Was he understanding her right?

            “Oh… well, I don’t think that’s such a good idea, since this is just our general workspace,” Jake said. “We wouldn’t want the device to strike something it wasn’t meant to.”

            “No, we wouldn’t.” There was something off about Julie’s voice; it was firm, self-assured, yet just as charming as ever. Still, it was clear she’d made up her mind. “I think we’re going to run the first test right here, Jake. I’ve been waiting so long for this. I don’t think I can wait any more.”

            “W-What do you mean?”

            “I’ll show you, little guy.”

            “Little guy? What are you-”

            Jake’s objection was interrupted when Julie’s finger clenched the trigger. The barrel glowed. Just as he’d explained, the energy transfer took place in a split second, far too fast for him to think of dodging away. Blinding light flared in his vision, and he felt an electric tingle rippling through his bones. Jake blinked. By the time he’d reopened his eyes, the process was already complete.

            He seized up, and couldn’t help but unleash a pathetic screech of horror. His laboratory, already grand in scale when he was at his regular size, was now a behemoth cavern that seemingly stretched in infinite directions. The place was so huge that Jake was made st, and collapsed on his rear end, for he knew the lab itself hadn’t grown. He had merely shrunk, and judging by the incredible scale of everything around him, from dust bunnies like tumbleweeds to chair legs like Olympian pillars, he and his clothes had reduced down to a very significant degree. If Jake had to guess, based on his proportions compared to the nearest towering obelisk of lab equipment, he was less than an inch tall.

            That guess was confirmed when he finally affixed his attention on Julie, and after he did, he doubted he could ever turn his focus anywhere else again. The girl was utterly titanic. Even from across the room, she was a truly magnificent leviathan, spiraling so high up that even the toe of her shoe was taller than her paltry boss. She grinned with overwhelming, triumphant glee. When she spread her lips wide to laugh, the lilting boom of it rattled the very walls of the lab, and certainly made Jake’s body tremble.

            But that was nothing compared to the reverberations inflicted when Julie began to walk toward her shrunken employer. Each time her black shoes, the size of battleship vessels, made berth on the tiled floor, a seismic quake extended across the room, causing Jake to quiver. Though the girl was relatively short from a regular perspective, probably not much more than five feet tall, she was a staggering monolith of a woman when she finally stopped walking just a few inches away from where Jake laid. By craning his neck, the young man just managed to see up the thick spires of her tanned bare legs, over the billowing crest of her lab coat, past the hillocks of her peeking cleavage, through her lengthy blonde mane, and at last to her gigantic adorable face at the top, staring down at him with a ravenous kind of curiosity that Jake was only used to seeing when Julie was chewing on gummy bears.

            “I can’t believe it. It worked. It worked!” Julie cheered. She pumped her fists, but refrained from stamping her feet, probably to avoid smearing her boss. “Sorry, Jake. I don’t mean to insult you. I mean, I do believe it worked, since you designed it, and you’re the smartest person I’ve ever met. But this is really exciting for me. I’ve been dreaming of this moment for so long, practically since I heard about you and all the amazing things you were creating. And even more after I actually met you.”

            Jake was so overcome with emotions: confusion, rage, frustration, fear, and downright awe of Julie’s gargantuan body, that he could scarcely respond, let alone process everything she was saying. He simply lay still at the altar of her humongous feet with his jaw hanging open.

            “Oh, right. I guess I should say sorry again for moving along so fast. There’s just so much I want to say to you, before I… well, I’m getting ahead here. I really should just explain myself,” Julie politely rambled, at last taking a deep breath. “First, let’s get a closer look at you. I’m sure it must be a little frightening to be down there, looking up at your big giant lab partner, wondering if she’s going to accidentally smoosh you with my shoe. You don’t have to worry about that, little guy, I swear. Now come here.”

            The shrunken man didn’t start to comprehend what Julie meant until she was already stooping down to collect him. By then, it was too late to run. Her soft creased palm lowered like a UFO ship, her peachy fingers unfurling and reaching out. The shadow of her hand shrouded the mewling little scientist, then caged him among her digits as she gingerly pinched him between her thumb and forefinger, and pressed him snugly against the pillowy landing of her palm. Once he was closed inside her enormous fist, Julie stood back up, then took several long steps back to the table and sat down, though she kept her little capture safely cupped in her palms, with her fingers arched up to act as fencing and prevent Jake from falling or escaping.

            “Wow, just look at you! Do you see how small you are now?” Julie gushed, obviously viewing this as good news. Her beautiful face looked like it was projected on a jumbo-tron from this close up; Jake could see every minute detail in her face, from the lines of her dimples to the velvet intricacy of her eyelashes. Each time she exhaled through her nostrils, warm air fogged in her palms, blustering Jake’s lab coat.

            “Y-Yes…” he gulped. The little man was just barely fending off full-on panic. How could she do this to him? What did she want with him? Most importantly, when was she going to regrow him? Jake desperately needed answers to all these questions, but found he was too weak in the presence of this blonde demigoddess-sized girl to speak up, with his fate literally resting in her hands.

            “I’m sure this is all a big shock to you, and you must be wondering why it happened?” Julie said, as though reading his mind. “Well, the answer is very simple, Jake: I’m going to swallow you. I’ve been planning on this for a very long time. You see, it… makes me excited, thinking about being able to eat a tiny man like you. It’s something I’ve wanted ever since I was a little girl. It’s my biggest dream. And now… because you’re such a genius, and you made something that can actually turn people into miniature little snacks… that dream can finally come true. So, I made you one one-hundredth of your old size, which I think is just under three-quarters of an inch. Really, I can’t thank you enough, Jake. I just hope you can forgive me, because in order for my dream to feel as real as possible, I’ve got to put you in my mouth and eat you. I won’t chew you, I promise, so it won’t hurt. You’ll just sort of… cease to be, once you’ve gone all the way down my throat and into my stomach. And I believe, if you really think about it, you might even like it, too.”

            Julie finished her confident speech. Again, Jake frowned, and stood up in her hand, backing away from her face, but was blocked by the thick pad of her thumb.

            “Ha-ha, okay, okay. This was… interesting, Julie. I get it now. This is all a prank. You wanted me to realize that my device was ready to test on animals already, without the preliminary experiments. And you decided to have some fun by making me think you want to eat me. I have to say, it worked. You had me going for a second there. But maybe you should make me big again, okay?”

Julie didn’t respond or even crack a smile. She didn’t have to. Instead she stared Jake down with such seriousness, that the young man was at last forced to realize simply by staring into the dark wells of her eyes this wasn’t some elaborate practical joke. She hadn’t just shrunken him for a laugh, or to prove that his device was capable of shrinking both inorganic and organic material. Julie had, in fact, shrunken her boss using his own size-altering device, with the express intention of consuming him like one of her gummy bears which, come to think of it, was now the exact same size as Jake himself.

“N-No… no…” Jake mumbled, as the truth sunk in. His skin crawled. “No, Julie. W-Wait a second, please, you… you can’t actually mean you’re g-going to… to…”

“I’m sorry. Really I am. I know it’s a lot to take in. But this is something I have to do, for myself, at least once, to know what it feels like. I’ve thought about it every single hour of single day that we’ve worked together, wondering if it’s the right thing to do, and now that my chance is finally here, I know what I have to do,” Julie continued. Her voice was genuinely soothing, and even tainted with remorse. “I have to swallow you, Jake.”

“This is insane. You can’t just eat a person because you want to! What about… my work, my research, my LIFE! Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”

“It does mean something to me. I’ll always be grateful for your brilliant mind giving me the chance to do this,” Julie said. “Thank you, Jake, from the bottom of my heart. Believe me, I’ll never forget you once you’re gone. And… seeing how this is a new idea for you, it seems only fair that I help ease you into it. I’m not just going to swallow you right this second, if that’s what you’re worried about, although I WANT to eat you now so badly. No, first, I’m going to help get you ready, in whatever ways I can. I think you’ll have… fun with it, and maybe by the end, you’ll agree with me that this is the right thing to do. You’ll want me to swallow you, which would make this even better for me!”

Jake couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Not only was his lab partner and friend about to end his life by gulping him down for sustenance, but she had the gall to ask that he enjoy it, too! It was like being in a surreal nightmare, only one he couldn’t wake up from. This couldn’t be happening. It couldn’t.

“First things first,” Julie said, when Jake didn’t reply again. She winked, and lapped her tongue at the corner of her lip. “Let’s get you more comfortable. Because, be honest, these lab coats aren’t the most comfortable things to wear. In fact, like I told you earlier… I always find the most comfortable “thing” to wear is… nothing! Let me show you.”

Bewildered, the shrunken Jake found himself abruptly pinned down to the cushy platform of Julie’s hand by her beefy thumb. Wriggling was useless. He was so drastically outmatched by this single finger, that fighting for even a second left him out of breath. Once he was spread-eagle against Julie’s palm, Jake watched her opposite hand descending near him, with her manicured index finger and thumb primed for plucking.

“Julie, please… don’t do this!” he cried.

“Don’t move too much, little guy. I don’t want to hurt you, after all. I’ll be as soft with you as I can, but you have to be still. You’re so small and fragile, just like I made you to be.”

Then, gently as though de-winging a dragonfly, Julie began to disrobe her subject. She pulled his lab coat cleanly off, flicking it onto the tabletop far below, then returned for his other clothes. Jake’s shirt was ripped away, and his pants were yanked next, no matter how hard he tried to fight the pull of the giantess’s digits. He grunted and squealed with effort to maintain his dignity and outfit, but it was useless. Julie stole his clothes, leaving Jake only in his underwear, and she clearly intended to take these as well.

The ovular pad of her thumb retracted, no longer pinning Jake to Julie’s palm, so she could access his waist. Despite all his worming around, the shrunken man understood the risk of resisting when Julie’s fingernails were poised so close to his crotch. So, feeling violated and afraid, the little man remained still for her.

“Thank you, Jake! That’s perfect. Just keep holding like that while I take your cute little underwear off, and then we can move on to the next fun part.” True to her word, Julie managed to slide her fingernail just under Jake’s miniature boxer waistband, then pinch the garment between her fingertips and floss it off his legs. With these removed, Jake was suddenly sprawling nude, helpless, and ¾ inches tall in the hand of a very powerful girl who meant to eat him. It was almost too much to bear.

“Aw, you’re shaking. Are you cold? You won’t be for long, I promise. It’s very warm inside my mouth. And don’t be so worried, Jake. Your body’s cute. I know you don’t really have time to workout much because of all the time you spend in this lab, but I think you’re so precious just the way you are. The way you look is part of what made me want to eat you, specifically. Plus, you won’t be alone like this for long, all naked and vulnerable. I want to get more comfortable, too,” Julie cooed.

She tipped her hand at the level of the table, then affectionately placed the shrunken man on its surface, careful to put him down between several tall stacks of notebooks and humming machinery, to keep Jake from running away. The only way out was the edge of the table, where Julie herself was seated, and it was clear to Jake that if he tried fleeing over the precipice, she would only catch her soon-to-be-snack and plant him right back on the table. Still, he was convinced he had to try and jump.

That possibility was nipped, though, when Julie placed a large glass beaker right on top of her shrunken victim, preventing him from going anywhere, but allowing him a full view of the outside world. From within, Jake’s perspective was warped mirror-funhouse style, and Julie looked even bigger, if such a thing was possible.

            The giantess withdrew from the lab table to the middle of the room, far enough that Jake could see her whole colossal form in all its glory. He noticed her hips beginning to sway in a sultry rhythm. Yet again she winked at him, then set about undoing the buttons of her lab coat. The scene played out just like his previous fantasy, only it was real, and he was smaller than a thumbnail, awaiting execution by dining. There weren’t as many buttons to open, since Julie was already previewing the supple valley of her bosom, but once the lab coat was tossed aside, it was clear she wasn’t through. Her black shoes were kicked off, leaving her barefoot on the tile. Next Julie worked on unfastening her skirt, letting it flutter around her shapely legs and land around her ankles. By this time, the girl was fully engaged in a strip tease dance, shimmying her pert derriere and puffing up her chest. All she was missing was the swanky music. Julie pulled her colorful blouse up over her head, swung it like a lasso, then stopped to pose in her black silk underwear, and let her gigantic body be admired by her prisoner.

            And indeed, though Jake was furious and terrified of his lab partner’s sick secret desires, he couldn’t ignore the beauty of the sight before him. Julie waltzed in circles, showing off her enviable figure, pouting her lips and propping up her breasts with both hands. She laughed upon noting the look of drunken yearning in his tiny face as she smoothly cat-walked back toward the table and scooped up the beaker. For a second, Jake had a window to sprint away, but he was too transfixed by the glory of the eighteen-year-old bombshell’s model-esque body. In that moment, her hand closed back around him, and Jake was carried just over the tight gulch of her tempting cleavage, all while her eyes glowed with dire hunger.

             “Do you like what you see, Jake?” Julie sultrily taunted. She dangled his little body back and forth above the twin globes of her tits, relishing his frightened little reactions. Every few seconds, she’d lower him nearer to the fleshy valley, but refrained from touching his shrunken self to her exposed bust. “I know you must. I’ve seen you sneaking peeks at me whenever you think I’m not looking. See, I know you put on this big act like all you care about is science and inventing, but nobody is completely a robot. And… well, maybe this is self-centered of me, but I’m not just some dog. In fact, I’m a little out of your league. It’s okay. Almost everyone who looks at me wants me after a while. You must be thinking certain things when you look at me. And there must be some part of you that wants to have some fun… real fun. Well, now’s your chance. And I should say, it’s probably your last chance, since I’m going to eat you, Jake, so why not let loose and enjoy it? Here, let me help you.”

            Before Jake could even open his mouth to protest, Julie’s hand plunged, and he along with it. Her fingers pointed straight for the divot between her blossoming boobs, then gently swiped the front of Jake’s miniature body along it. This contact caused her left breast to jiggle slightly, though for the young man himself, the act was much more dramatic. Tempting, feminine, perfume-scented skin nuzzled ticklishly over half his nude shape, with particular attention on his junk.

            Then just as quickly, Julie dipped Jake again, this time massaging him lower into her lush cleavage. Both of her breasts yielded softly as bread dough to the pressure from her determined fingers and Jake’s wriggling body. His mumbles and squeals of surprise were drowned out by the massive volume of bra-encased mammary on either side. She took her time on this occasion, caressing the shrunken man for a longer period, gliding him across the dual hills of her breasts, then guiding him back to the especially tender valley between, where she sweetly pinched and bumped him on every delectable surface of smooth skin. The girl ensured to ply firm yet cushy pressure over the middle of Jake’s body, twisting and dabbing his crotch along the curvature of her breasts. Julie’s flesh prickled with goose bumps, as she enjoyed the process more and more of introducing her forthcoming meal to the beauty he would soon serve via nutrient conversion.

            Jake, meanwhile, was trapped squarely between continued horror and confused arousal. Somehow, these were even more insurmountable than being more literally trapped between a pair of gigantic boobs. He still was grappling with the fact that Julie intended to eat him at the end of this playtime, yet he couldn’t ignore the truth in what she’d said: he did find her incredibly attractive. He had, in fact, been fighting the reality that he wanted her. After so much time spent in her presence without being able to act on those repressed desires, some of which even he couldn’t acknowledge before, everything was breaking loose in one destructive catharsis. Despite the dread still permeating his body, following several minutes of Julie’s playful boob-bouncing and fondling of his body along her plush contours, he was sporting an incriminating erection.

            Julie, of course, was delighted.

            “It seems I’m not the only one having fun right now,” Julie purred. She withdrew Jake from her breasts at last, then cradled his shamed body in her palm to carry him up to where she could see better. Her sparkling brown eyes drank in the sight of him. He was flushed pink from friction, heaving out of exhaustion, yet nonetheless clearly aroused. “Yes, I’m definitely not the only one! How does it feel, Jake? I know it must all be very overwhelming for you, and I understand you’ve still got to get over the fact that I’m going to eat you, but surely you can admit you like this?”

            “P-Please…” Jake panted. He was feeling light-headed and unfortunately horny, but saw this as one of few remaining chances to change his fate. The embarrassment of Julie seeing his pathetic libido coming forth would have to be put aside. “Don’t do this, Julie. P-Please, I’m… begging you. You c-can’t eat me, I’ll… I’ll…”

            “Ooooh, it sounds like you’re still pretty scared. Well, maybe I can help prepare you better for it! Maybe once you can think about what’s going to happen to you, it won’t seem so scary any more. I can show you where you’re going to go, then. How about it, Jake?”

            “No!”

            “Good! Let’s do it. Just trust me on this one.” With that, Julie’s enormous hand descended again, this time past the pert shelf of her cleavage, along her tight abdomen, all the way down to her belly button. For a moment, her palm remained open, allowing Jake to peer into the cute little crater in the center of her stomach, before her svelte fingers suddenly fastened around his puny body again. Immediately, the little man found himself heading for the navel. With just one pump of her pinky, Julie managed to stuff Jake’s whole self into the pocket of her belly button. She giggled, clearly tickled by his limbs and warmth, then with a sigh collected him back out by pulling on his leg as delicately as she could. From there, Julie pressed Jake face-down and commenced circling him around the flat, tense skin of her tummy as though it was a race track. In slow, counterclockwise repetitions, she rubbed the object of her starving affections from hip to hip, from washboard abdomen to just above the waistline of her panties.

            Through it all, Jake was on the verge of tears. His erection was encouraged and even kept up thanks to the softness and motion against pillowy flesh similar to being cuddled through her cleavage, though his location now was far more frightening. The point was clear: Julie wanted him to visit his final resting place from the outside. Her midriff was such an innocuous sight, even attractive given the girl’s petite shape, but Jake couldn’t ignore that he was being introduced to his tomb. He could hear the subtle yet undeniable grumble of acidic machinations within Julie’s stomach. Squishy, sloshing growls vibrated through tanned skin and muscle right through to Jake. Even one hungry rumble was enough to rattle the shrunken man’s whole body with the violence of an earthquake.

“Can you hear it, Jake? Because I can,” Julie teased. Her hand never stopped moving him in steady revolutions around her belly, but her rhythmic voice now added an additional echo along with the symphony of stomach gurgles. “My stomach wants you inside it. It wants you to be with me forever, a part of me. I’m hungry, Jake. I’ve been hungry ever since I met you, and no kind of regular food has ever been enough to satisfy me. I think the only thing that will is you.

So, maybe now I should show you where your journey will begin. Come back up here again now and see for yourself.”

            Though Jake knew where she was taking him, and knew there was no conceivable way to stop her powerful, pillar-like fingers from doing whatever they wanted, he still fought back. He clawed and scraped and even tried nibbling at Julie’s skin in an effort to make her let go of him, but this only seemed to earn snickering from her, as though she was humoring a feisty baby hamster trying to gnaw on her thumbpad. Even cries for mercy escaped his lips, but all of this went ignored when Julie finally brought the micro-man before her gigantic, smiling lips.

            “JULIE! STOP!” Jake screamed as he watched the pink barrier separating. Warm, moist, fruity gummy bear-aroma wafted from the darkness of her open mouth and washed over his naked form. He watched, quivering, as Julie’s tongue lifted up from the damp underbelly of her jowls and crested above her pearly teeth, before slicking a thin gloss of saliva from one corner of her lips to the other, licking and sliding over her skin but not yet emerging. “PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME!”

            “Ah-ah-ah, Jake. Not until you hear me out completely. Like I said, I want you to like this too. I want you to want it. And I’ll tell you what. If you can’t honestly say you enjoy what’s about to happen to you, then maybe we can talk about another way,” Julie explained. She puckered her lips at him, blew an air-kiss, then parted them again to let her tongue escape. Steam rose from its hot, slimy surface while the pink serpent drew near. Jake was helpless to escape, as he was pinned in place to Julie’s palm by her smallest finger.

            At first, Julie simply tested him with the narrow, gooey tip of her tongue. It snaked and flicked at his face, and even managed to pinpoint his crotch, slamming the young man down simply by the strength of her tastebuds, and causing him to involuntarily moan with stinging pleasure. Next she spread more of her tongue out between her wide-open mouth. The flat of her sticky muscle was hefted over Jake like a beached whale, stuffy and broiling and piling heavier onto him with each second. Then it began to slake, massaging back and forth and lapping over every square millimeter of Jake’s nudity. In seconds, he was drenched in sweet, bubbly saliva, and Julie showed no signs of stopping. She hummed softly in her throat as she explored his body with her monstrous tongue.

            Jake let himself fade into a full-blown panic attack, hyperventilating and gasping for relief, all while he wept like a forlorn child. There was no other recourse. His body was betraying him via his insistent hard-on, which Julie would probably interpret as desire, and subsequently tuck him into the back of her throat to begin the deadly trek down her gullet.

            “Please, J-Julie, I’ll… ggckkk…” Jake sputtered, as he was interrupted by the girl’s tongue slapping down and cutting off his words with a soupy mouthful of spit. Still, his tears streamed and his voice cracked: his spirit was all but broken. “…I’ll do anything you want. ANYTHING! J-Just name it. Whatever you want, I’ll m-make it happen. Just p-please, let… me… go, and make m-me big again.”

            Against all odds, Julie’s tongue retracted back between her lips. She closed her eyes, then carried Jake away from her mouth, leaving him to dry in a puddle of her saliva. Silence pervaded, save for the man’s whimpering. Then at last, Julie addressed him again.

            “Okay, Jake. We’ll grow you back. On one condition,” she whispered gravely. “One thing you have to give me, and I’ll make you your old size again.”

            “Anything!”

            “I want the access code to the scanner room.”

            Momentarily bewildered, Jake looked at the girl’s humongous countenance in disbelief. That was all she wanted? Maybe she’d seen reason after all, or perhaps his emotional appeals had gotten through. Either way, he wasn’t about to question her truce. Eagerly, he rambled off the password digits without skipping a beat.

            “Perfect! Thank you so much, Jake. Now, let’s just get the shrinking gun, and take a look inside together!” Julie responded, suddenly her perkier self once again. This much cheerier voice somehow unsettled Jake even more, since he was still very vulnerable and soaking in Julie’s spit, but his hope of returning to normal had been revived. All he had to do was hang in there another minute.

            Happily, Julie grabbed the size-changing device from the table, then strutted to the locked scanning room door. After tucking the invention under her arm, she punched in the code, and giddily entered once the entrance swung open. Inside, the pair were surrounded by advanced high-definition displays on a winding silver wall. She carried Jake to the center of the hall, and stood over the observation table, propping her elbow on the surface to keep steady. Then, delicate as though plucking flower petals, she picked up her miniature lab partner and deposited him onto her upturned pointer finger tip. The balance was tricky, but by hugging himself tightly to Julie’s fingerpad, Jake managed to keep from slipping.

            “Okay, now. Hold very still, Jake. We wouldn’t want to mess this up now, would we?” Julie instructed. She closed one eye for perception, then aimed the handheld machine right at her target. Jake took a deep breath, clenched his eyelids shut, and went stone-still, preparing for the reversal that would finally save him from this voracious nightmare. He felt the same zap as before. Indeed, he felt floor forming beneath his feet, signaling he was no longer the right size to hang on Julie’s fingertip. However, when he finally opened his eyes again, Jake realized he was not standing on the cold lab floor, but in fact the warm very-alive and fingerprint-spiraled platform of Julie’s digit, which was now one hundred times bigger than before.

            Or, as the man steadily came to comprehend with great trauma, he’d been shrunken by another degree of one hundred. In effect, he was now a less-than-one inch man by comparison to his previous less-than-one inch size. Which meant that Julie’s finger was plenty large enough to contain his speck-scaled body. When he looked up again at the beautiful yet planetary sight of Julie’s victoriously grinning face, so monumental in scope it practically made him feel like a bacterium by comparison, it set off an existential crisis in Jake’s tiny head. Crying and screaming out of instinct wasn’t even enough. He wanted to implode.

            “No… n-no… no…” he muttered like a broken record. It didn’t seem possible.

            “Yes, yes, yes!” Julie squealed. She blew him another kiss, the wind from which nearly toppled the hyper-small man upon the horizon of her fingertip. Then, reaching through the materials situated on the scanning room table, she placed a mechanical bud in her ear.

            “You… you SAID!”

            “I know what I said,” Julie sighed. “I hope you don’t feel misled, Jake. Really. I hated to have to trick you like that, but let’s face it, this would all be for nothing if I couldn’t watch and enjoy every single second of every single part of making you my meal. It would just be a big waste! So, that’s why we’re in this room. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hear or understand a single thing your cute little self was saying, now would I? But, thanks to all these great inventions that you made, I can hear and see you!”

            She was right. Jake peered around the staggering country-sized room, seeing his naked body displayed up on the many televisions for Julie to witness. He trembled, feeling simultaneously humbled and humiliated, but also more terrified than ever. All the hope he’d been feeling for just a minute was robbed, and even more painfully than the first time. Before, Julie was merely a giantess, but now she was truly a goddess.

            “This is the end now, Jake,” Julie declared with booming authority. The reverberation of her kind, melodic voice flooded the room and made the little man feel strange comfort, even though he knew he was about to be gracefully destroyed. “I guess you couldn’t learn to enjoy this quite as much as me, but I suppose that was inevitable. After all, like I said, I’ve been thinking about this since I was a little girl, waiting for the perfect opportunity and the perfect tiny person to swallow, even though it didn’t seem like it would ever be real. Well, now it is. I have everything I ever wanted, right here. Right on my fingertip. You’re going to help me fulfill my deepest fantasy. So, thank you, Jake. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

            The girl’s show of gratitude was deeply sincere, and even proven by a teardrop in her own eye. She wiped it away, then lifted her upturned index finger back toward her face. Jake couldn’t see her entire lovely face any longer, once it became so close and so unbelievably massive in his visage. For an instant, he considered trying to run to the rounded edge of Julie’s finger and leap to his probable doom, but the nearer he came to her hypnotic lips, the more distant it seemed, as though he was continuing to shrink even now, bringing him even further from freedom.

            Thus, Jake stood still, resigned to his fake, sopping in his own tears and Julie’s spit. He weathered another puff of sticky exhaled air, then waited while Julie opened her lips to speak to him. Even in defeat, he tried one last time:

            “Don’t d-do this, Julie. Please. I… d-don’t want to be eaten.”

            “Goodbye, Jake. I’ll never forget you as long as I live,” she vowed. “I hope you don’t resent me for this. Just know you’ve given me the greatest gift in the history of science or humanity. This, right now, is the best contribution you’ve ever made to the world, and I mean that. More than all your other discoveries and trinkets and inventions. Now, come inside my mouth please, little one, and become a part of me.”

            Jake shut his eyes and waited, feeling shadow and heat enveloping him as Julie wrapped her lips around her finger. They softly closed on her digit, then began to slurp upward, until her mouth had cleaned the entire length of her finger. Once he was clenched between walls of puffy pink flesh like a stray crumb, Jake understood fully his time on earth was finished, but his voyage through Julie had only begun. The girl’s island-sized tongue swiped over her lips, kidnapping Jake on a tidal wave of rippling tastebuds and sucking him into the balmy space of her mouth.

            Within, Jake was lost to blackness and senseless void. He was vaguely aware of being glued to Julie’s tongue and tossing from one corner to another as she tasted him, but other than that, he was powerless. There was nothing now except the eventual lurch toward her throat. Moisture, heat, and musk all melded into one slippery reality.

            Outside, though, Julie had expertly programmed the scanning room to lock onto Jake as its target, which provided her with a clear view of his tumultuous fate. She saw him on the TV screens riding the roller coaster inside her mouth: bounding between her undulating cheeks, swimming through a river of syrupy saliva, and nearly getting chomped to grit between her molars. She couldn’t help but smile and laugh at these amusing sights, which in turn made the carnage between her jaws even worse for Jake, though she was careful not to let him be harmed; her teeth always stopped just short of chewing him, and her titanic tongue rescued him just before drowning in the moat of phlegmy saliva at the base.

Julie slumped into a chair, as her knees had gone weak from the drama and final success of her master plan. Everything she’d ever hoped for was happening right here in front of her, and best of all, the scanning equipment was recording Jake’s journey, which would allow her to re-watch it and experience the whole affair again whenever she liked. Still, the girl knew that this moment now, when she was actually swallowing and digesting her lab partner, was significant, and couldn’t be repeated, no matter how realistic the video footage was. This had to be molded into her memory.

So, she placed both hands reverently over her cheeks, feeling closer than ever to Jake, and waited for the accumulation of saliva to reach a high enough level. A fresh round of goose bumps painted her skin, and a deep spiritual gladness filled her heart. She was happier than she’d ever been. Moreover, there was a stirring in her soul she’d never before experienced. Julie lusted for the climax of this choice like nothing else. Again she smiled and swished Jake around behind her lips. After a few minutes, thanks to her salivary glands and the tantalizing tastes swirling around inside her mouth, her spit had risen like a flooded river, and was only spurred on as her tongue splashed through it all, with Jake’s body adhered in the center of her dripping red muscle.

Then, gathering all the rising quantities of saliva within her hungry maw, Julie ladled Jake into the center of her tongue, pushed him along the gooey stream, and gulped hard.

In an instant, half a cheek of whirlpooling saliva was flushed past Julie’s uvula, and the shrunken man along with it. Intently, without blinking, Julie studied the screens all around her. She watched the realization overcoming Jake’s soggy face, even as he was blind in her throat, that he was at last being dragged toward his destiny inside her belly. She watched the roaring spit ocean overtake him, winnowing toward the opening of her throat. Concurrently, her own fingers caressed down from her cheeks to her neck, going along with him every step of the way.

“HELP! HELP ME! LET ME OUT!” he screeched, before being muffled again when his mouth and lungs filled with the giantess’s gushing spit. For a second, Julie saw a glimmer of resolve in his face as he attempted futilely to resist by gripping the rubbery texture of her tongue like a barnacle, yet his still-standing erection showed the conflict within him. He still was magnetized toward her, even in these final minutes of consciousness, when he knew he’d soon be dissolved and integrated into her body as lunch.

Julie had to fan herself as she watched Jake slipping into her esophagus. The experience was so hot, she was almost delirious, but the blonde forced herself to remain diligent so she could collect every sensation for her memory banks, even as her loins fitfully stirred. Only when she’d seen Jake to his ultimate destination could she pause to savor the buildup of life-long sexually charged yearning coming to fruition. Her trembling hand hovered over her thighs.

Inside the ribbed tunnel of Julie’s esophagus, Jake found himself tightly confined. Though he was so very small, enough such that he wasn’t actually squeezed by the pumping of the slimy walls, he still felt the claustrophobia of the narrow path leading down the girl’s neck. As he descended, the young man encountered flecks of partially melted gummy bear, now the same size or even larger than his whole body, jammed on the sides of the esophagus. He meekly attempted to grab onto these for safety, if only to prevent himself being gulped yet deeper toward the stomach. Yet he wasn’t strong enough to combat the pull of the tunnel, and soon Julie’s body continued pushing him toward doom, no matter his resistance.

“N-No… no, God… Julie, please hear me. L-Listen to me…” he wept, all while fighting to grab any passing particles of masticated breakfast. “You can still stop this. I’m… still here. You can save me. J-Just, don’t… don’t do this. Don’t eat me, please! JULIE, I’M BEGGING YOU!”

For Julie, these sighs and sounds only enhanced the experience, as she realized how puny those tidbits of candy were, yet here was her former lab partner clinging to them like multicolored boulders, pointlessly slowing his fall. Even better, his cries for mercy were simultaneously making her heart ache and reaffirming her desire to swallow a living, breathing, shrunken human like any common morsel of food. If he wasn’t bellowing for help, it wouldn’t be nearly as good. She swallowed several more times for good measure, which pumped fresh saliva down her throat to wash away any lingering leftovers, gummies and Jake included. With one hand, she tentatively began petting her womanhood under her panties, yet with her opposite palm, she caressed and traced the little man’s journey, along her neck and past her chest.

Her heartbeat quickened. She could almost feel his precise location in her tract, due to the scanning room’s tracking technology allowing her to know with certainty where he was at every second. Jake looked sleepier now, as the lack of clean oxygen and other sensory deprivation was flirting with his consciousness, tossing and turning him like a cork, but still he fought to stay awake, which made Julie glad. She hoped he’d still be lucid once he reached her stomach, so he could know exactly what was happening just as she did.

In less than a minute, even Jake’s valiant attempts to delay his fate were squelched, as he passed through the esophagus at last and was dumped straight toward the portal of her stomach. He flailed, screeching and begging with renewed vigor for mercy, when he reached the last stage of his trip. Even so, the shrunken speck’s windmilling hands couldn’t hang onto the gooey rim of the last stretch of esophagus, and he fell just like any other swallowed chunk of Julie’s diet before plunking into the stew of her stomach’s contents.

Though the darkness and anonymous geometry of her gigantic belly still haunted Jake, Julie herself could see every detail because of the scanning equipment. She saw the hunks of pre-chewed food littering her stomach in piles like a junkyard, saw the various fluids leeching from the walls and turning everything slowly into mush, but most importantly, she saw and heard Jake’s naked, helpless self still kicking and crying as he floated in the damnable muck of her gut. At this point, Julie had to restrain from fingering herself to an immediate climax, but she withheld. This wasn’t over just yet, and she needed a clear head to burn the final image into her mind. Her other hand traveled over her breasts and abdomen, reaching her stomach, which she began to rub in loving circles, just as she had earlier, only now with Jake trapped wonderfully within.

“That’s it, Jake,” Julie breathed, even though she knew he wouldn’t hear. “Give in to me. Become part. It’s all right. You’ll be safe inside with me. Just… relax now. Don’t fight any more. Everything will feel perfectly fine soon, if you just… stop… and become part of me.”

In the bowels of Julie’s roiling stomach, Jake was marooned in bitter waters. Already the digestive enzymes were hard at work breaking him down, and he could feel it tingling over his skin, but the young scientist couldn’t give up yet. He refused. Instead, he continued thrashing and paddling in every direction, only to meet another submerged cluster of half-digested foodstuffs impossible to climb. The harder he fought, the weaker he became, until he had just enough energy to stay awake and breathe, while his head stayed just above the surface of the belly sludge. The rest of his one-ten-thousandth body was dunked in the acidic bath, and left to dissolve. Occasionally his lips moved to offer up another desperate prayer to his hungry goddess, even in a death throe fugue state.

Julie watched all this with single-minded focus. Her palm contentedly grazed circles over her sated belly whilst her opposite hand continually fished through her panties to temper the sexual maelstrom, but the girl was exclusively devoted to watching Jake’s undoing. She dared not blink as she watched his final moments, while he surrendered at last to the truth that he’d never escape her belly again. By and by, his melting body was lost to the churning lake of her stomach, dissolved into nothing along with the rest of her digesting food. Those liquid remains would, she knew, at last be absorbed into her innards and used to fuel her mighty body. Finally his face followed his body in dissolution, until there was no physical proof left of Jake’s presence in her digestive system, though Julie had seen and heard all she needed. She knew now that he was and forever would be a part of her, and that was more than enough for her. Quivering, gasping, and crying from joy all at once, Julie climaxed in tandem with the circling of her hand above her holy stomach.

“Thank you, Jake,” she uttered, licking her lips. “Thank you so much. For everything.”

Julie remained in the scanning room for what felt like an hour, constantly reviewing the sensations, sights, and sounds of this orgasmic experience, so that she would remember them for all time. Eventually, she gathered her bearings and stood up again, feeling very different than when she sat down with the doubly shrunken sacrifice on her fingertip. In ritualistic fashion, Julie gathered the recordings of her experience, safely taking a physical copy of Jake’s demise for her to watch again later, while she deleted the records from the system. Next she moved around the lab, wiping up all evidence of Jake from the surfaces and beakers, including his micro clothes, which she put into her purse as a memento of this perfect day.

Satisfied that she’d never be discovered, Julie allowed herself a moment of reflection over the lab. Her hand stroked over her stomach again, confident that even though the molecules of Jake’s dissolved body were now being distributed wherever needed to fuel the girl’s own, he was still just behind the wall of her belly, granting her the most precious gift she’d ever received or would ever receive. Julie spied one last lingering thread of her fantasy. She gleefully picked up the shrinking device, tucked it into her purse beside Jake’s diminutive clothes, and strolled out of the lab, certain that it would come in handy again soon, whenever she was hungry for something more than food. As if in answer, her stomach pleasantly gurgled: the swan song of her little meal, now entering a new and far more valuable partnership than ever before.
