The events of the past few decades in the giant land came to a conclusion. Meanwhile, in the present day, Colleen continued to dream of her past adventures, while hearing strange voices which represented some kind of author and fan base of a fictionalized version of her own life story. Colleen dreamt of an encounter that her younger self had had some time deep in her own past.  She had not fully understood it at the time, but according to the dream, one of the lads she had shrunken had remained tiny in the past, after the Ring of Reversal had reset time. He had encountered an earlier Colleen, who at least initially had no idea who he was. (See the chapter “To an Earlier Colleen” in Book 1: To Catch a Leprechaun).

Now, she again heard the voices of Brother Zeke and Tim.

“In a meta way, if ‘To Catch a Leprechaun’ is Colleen’s diary of vore, then her not even giving the leprechauns much screen time on an individual basis means she likely didn’t even learn any of their names. She just gulped them night after night,” said Zeke, “I like that callousness, even if I’m just ascribing my own head canon to her personality.”

“I guess that, to her, they were meals to be enjoyed and then forgotten,” said Tim.

Colleen felt somewhat in agreement with each of them, when she awoke and thought over what she had just dreamt. In a way, it added a new spice to the whole business. She now not only had her memories of what she had done. She not only had that and an account of some alternate timeline, which may or may not have existed in real life, but certainly existed in the mind of some mysterious writer whom she had not been able to locate, except as a disembodied voice in her dreams. She now also had the pleasure of hearing her past vore conquests discussed by her dream life’s author and his fan base.

“I never knew that those enjoyable meals, and the ones I don’t even remember, would create so much discussion,” she thought.

Her adventures had been titled with an umbrella theme of sorts: “To Catch a Leprechaun.”

Before long, she dreamt again, and heard what Millicent had to say about the time reversed Kenneth’s encounter with her.

“Now I'm wondering... the young - and now tiny - Kenneth meets the young - not as younger as him – Colleen,” said Millicent, “She probably knows the 'legend' about the leprechauns, and suddenly sees a tiny boy. And has no problem showing himself her mouth when he asks for it...What if it was Kenneth himself, in Colleen's past, who made her start enjoying the idea of eating tinies - leprechauns mostly? Interesting concept lol. Maybe if he just asked her to help him she'd do it and not show him her mouth, never coming to enjoy the idea of gobbling him (and other tinies) down her belly... what makes Kenneth the only responsible for the event he's actually trying to stop in the future. Ok, I'm wondering too much! Back to waiting for the next chapter...”

“You've been watching those science fictions about predestination paradoxes,” said Tim, “I like to think, that on the original timeline, Kenneth hadn't sent his consciousness back in time yet. So Colleen's interest in leprechauns developed without this incident.

However, I do use the predestination time loop approach in a much later batch of chapters involving a new character. So you'll get to see it both ways.”

More unfolded, and then they spoke again.

“Wow, wow, this only gets better!! Let’s see what happens in the next episode…” said Millicent.

“Thank you, as always. Plenty more surprises to come,” said Tim.

Colleen awoke again and thought about it all. So the Colleen of these dreams, and perhaps the Colleen of her own personal reality, had known a Kenneth and shrunken and eaten him before the timeline had reset. Then the new timeline had seen Kenneth’s younger self encounter Colleen’s younger self. Kenneth had retained his memories, but Colleen hadn’t. She had ended up with a tiny Kenneth at her mercy and enjoyed the situation.

In Colleen’s next dream, she heard more from Brother Zeke’s voice.

“Nothing gets past Colleen,” said Zeke, “She’s as sharp as a tack. And I love that about her (as well as her voracious appetite for shrunken humans and leprechauns of course). I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes next. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not we, the observers, hop timelines again to see how things play out for the leprechauns or even eventually see the original timeline again.”

“The original timeline is gone,” said Tim, “But the ramifications of the change will play out many times, in many ways, and with new characters over time too.”

Colleen dreamt things she recalled, about being temporarily foiled in her attempts to catch and eat various characters she’d known on earth.

“Wow. I’m starting to feel bad for Colleen in this timeline,” said Brother Zeke.

“She’ll have plenty more dining pleasure in store,” said Tim.

“You just gotta love Colleen’s bluntness and determination to get what she wants, regardless of if her prey disagrees,” said Zeke.

“In a way, I’d love it as a victim,” said Tim.

Then Colleen’s nostalgic dreams jumped a groove, well into her time as a giantess.

“As usual, I can’t get enough of Colleen’s voracious appetite,” said Zeke, “I Wonder if she’ll ever encounter the leprechauns again, especially now that she’s a giant.”

“It’s unlikely anyone will meet the leprechauns in this second book,” said Tim, “But there will still be plenty of shrinking guys and giantesses to enjoy.”

“A second book,” thought Colleen, still asleep, “It looks like my time up here in giant land has become a sequel.”

“There’ll be a third instalment too,” said Tim, “I know you’ve been trying to get in touch with me, at least in your hopes and dreams, like the one you’re having right now.”

“Have I ever!” said Colleen, “Just who are you?”

“My full name is Timothy Scribener, and I exist in another dimension.”

“I know,” said Colleen, “I came from it, before I grew to my current size.”
