I looked around unaware of what was just happening, all I
remember was being pinched by something and then that was it, lights out.

And now I find myself tied to a wall upside down, my hands
are free but my ankles are tied to the purple metallic ceiling, I look around
and notice that I’m right above what looks to be a human.

Being a giant I expect the human to run away in fear but he
seemed as though he was asleep, soon I realized that I was slowly being brought
down closer and closer to the human.

I panicked, as my face was a mere metre away from him I
watched as he wiggled and slowly woke up, before I hit him I pulled my self
slightly up and leaned to the right of him.

He screamed as he saw my face slam down right next to him, I
felt bad for scaring him but I couldn’t have killed him.

This was the closest I had ever been to a human, there
aren’t much or us giants left and it is said the human detest us, but I was
never sure why, we were exactly the same but just taller and stronger.

I decided to keep my breaths light as I was so close to the
human he probably didn’t like me breathing on him; he looked around and smacked
himself on the face before looking at me wide eyed and running to a close
corner of the small room.

“Hey look buddy, I’m not going to hurt you” I said not
realizing how loud my voice echoed in the small room, the human flinched and I
sighed.

Just than the ropes holding my ankles were released and I
was falling my lower body going down at an angle, I was going to crush the
human if I didn’t act soon, I quickly cupped a hand over the human and fell
with a loud bang

My knee landing a mere metre from the human, I quickly
righted myself and sat up on my knees so that I wasn’t so close to the human.

I removed my hand and he was shaking rapidly, and his face
had turned pale white, damn it I scared him again if only he knew that I was
doing this to help him.

“I’m sorry I scared you” I whispered this time and he
flinched again at hearing my voice, my dad was right humans are hopeless they
never come to reason with things.

I sighed and decided trying to win the human over was
hopeless so instead I rested my head against the wall and fell asleep.

“GIANT!!!” I heard from the right side of me, I shake my
head until I was awake and looked around, it was then I realized I was still in
the room.

“GIANT!!!!” he yelled again and I looked down at where my
hand was resting, he was a few feet from it but it dwarfed him so, he would
have been the size of my index finger or smaller maybe but it fascinated me
that you could have such small organs and still function.

“What?” I whispered still kind of drowsy, he backed away and
looked at the ground.

“Excuse me, human? What’s wrong?” I asked again and at the
word human he looked up, but soon he back away so much so that his back was
pressed against the wall.

“You have to have a reason for waking me? Last I saw you
were scared of me and now you have the courage to wake me? What’s gotten into
you?” I asked making sure the sarcasm drooled so that it was a lighter
conversation starter.

He didn’t respond, I rolled my eyes “And my name isn’t giant
either” I said now getting kind of annoyed with him.

“You don’t consider yourself human?” he asked so quietly I
could barely hear him; I looked at him wide eyed.

“So someone wants to talk now” I said looking down at him I
tried a smile but he didn’t respond.

“In answer to your question, I don’t classify myself as
small, arrogant, ignorant and pea brained so no I don’t think of myself as a
human” I answered smartly, he looked hurt but soon recovered with anger.

“I’M NOT THE SMALL ONE! YOU’RE THE FREAK! I’M NORMAL AND IM
NOT ARROGENT, IGNORENT OR PEA BRAINED!!” he yelled stepping forward a bit, I
let my mouth drop in shock, didn’t see that one coming.

“Wow ok little guy I get it I’m sorry, I’ll try not to hurt
your ego so much next time” I scoffed and he, growled? Wow that was weird.

“What’s your name?” I asked kindly with a cheesy smile
trying to piss him off which worked.

“WHY WOULD I TELL YOU!!” he yelled up to me, I smiled.

“You don’t have to yell I can hear you perfectly fine” I
said and his face went a little red.

“Dude it’s fine I get it, you have never been around a giant
before, it’s cool” I said trying to calm him down.

“Ok I’m Jack” I said pointing my index finger for him to
shake it, he didn’t understand so I gave him a hint.

“You’re supposed to shake it and tell me your name” I
whispered sarcastically with a smile.

He stepped forward slowly and grabbed the tip of my finger
with both hands, it sent goose bumps through my body, and he was finally
beginning to trust me.

“I – I’m Luke” he said looking up and meeting my eyes, I
smiled a real sincere smile and he slightly smiled back.

“There see we just got off on the wrong foot” I said and he
looked down.

“Ok first I don’t know how I got here, second whoever put me
here is obviously trying to make me kill you because they let me drop right
above you, and I saved you by the way. Third I like you and hate that your
scared of me, fourth I’m sorry I scared you in the first place because it gave
you a reason to hate me, and last do you still hate me?” I asked taking in a
deep breath, I wanted us to get to know each other a lot better.

He looked at me at those words and shrugged “I – I hate all
giants” he stated and that hurt me.

“Why?” I asked flatly and he began shaking again “You – you
eat people and destroy homes and innocent people” he said bringing a tear to
his eyes.

I was taken aback by this statement “Ok first where in the
world you heard a stupid thing like that, and second why would I want to….. Eat
or destroy you?” I asked wanting or demanding an explanation.

“YOU KILLED MY SISTER!” he burst and I looked at him in more
shock “Ok, no I didn’t, why are you accusing me of doing it, I haven’t been
anywhere near a human civilization my whole life and you wanna know why?
Because I was scared to death of you” I said almost angrily.

“FINE IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN YOU BUT YOUR KIND DID IT!” I
couldn’t believe what he was saying, this was so unfair and racist.

“Ok what if I said you killed my dad and you said you didn’t
but I said that it was you humans that did it, would that be very fair because
as far as I know there are many different types of people good and bad” I
explained to him and he started crying.

“Hey I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it I was just explaining to
you how that made me feel being accused of something that someone else did” I
said and he cried louder.

“I – I know – your right – I’m – I’m sorry that was –ah
unfair of me” he said wiping away a few tears and looking up at me.

“Jack I’m so sorry, forgive me?” he asked almost whimpering.

“I feel like a jerk, but sure I’ll forgive you, do you still
hate giants?” I asked.

He paused for a moment and hesitated “Um not all of them….”
He said and I rolled my eyes.

Just then the room expanded and I was able to stand so I did
and stretched out my aching muscles, I stopped realizing I was stretching to my
full height; I looked down at the diminutive human cowering in the corner.

I shrugged trying to convince myself that he liked me and he
wasn’t afraid, stupid me.

I looked around and found that there was a passage way now
leading to an open area, I looked back at Luke and smiled. “Look, a way out” I
said and he looked where I was pointing, he soon smiled to and ran in the
direction.

I followed after but found each of my steps caused Luke to
trip and fall with every foot fall.

“Shit! I’m sorry, I’ll try walking lighter” I said down to
him but he ignored me and kept running, it was a fair way away and I was
surprised he was still running.

After a few more steps I over took him and he collapsed on
the floor, I stopped and kneeled down above him.

“It’s ok little buddy I’ll take you” I said plucked him off
the floor and into my palm.

He seemed unconscious but was still breathing thank god, I
walked with him carefully into the open area, it was a field or more a back
yard, I noticed there was a tiny playground, a tiny table and chair and a small
square house but nothing was my size.

I frowned and placed Luke near the small house on the grass,
it was then that I realized something, this had to be some kind of challenge or
test, but what were they trying to prove? That we could live peacefully
together? Or that there was no way we could live together? I was going to find
out.

I sat down on the dirt and waited for my little friend to
wake up, about an hour later he stirred and sat up on his elbows, the first
thing he noticed was the house and then shivered as he realized I was there,
maybe he was shivering because he was cold, because I was casting a pretty huge
shadow over him and the house.

“What it this?” he asked and I shrugged “Don’t know too big
to investigate” I said now acting bored and leaning my arm on my knee and my
head on my hand as I watched him get up.

He walked into the house and it was then that I realized
something fun I could do, and so after about half an hour of waiting for him I
put both hands on the roof of the small house and lifted it with little effort,
I then placed it on the grass next to me.

I looked in and saw Luke cowering under a tiny table “Sorry
I got impatient” I stated and he gulped and stepped forward “You’ll put it back
though right?” he asked and I nodded “What’s in there?” I asked and he walked
over to a rectangular box.

“It’s the fridge it’s full of food” he said and pulled out something
and began eating it, my stomach growled and Luke jumped literally a foot in the
air.

He began shaking “You – you hungry?” he asked and I clutched
my stomach “Um …… yeah but I’ll be fine” and with that my stomach let out
another loud growl, Luke dropped his food.

“Take – take what you want” he said pointing to the fridge
“That wouldn’t be fair on you” I stated and he shrugged nervously.

“Well ok then…. Um can you open it for me?” I asked still
clutching my stomach; he opened it than backed away.

I lifted the box up and studied the contents; I pulled a
draw in it open and grabbed a few pieces of vegetables and fruit making sure
there was enough for him to. I then picked up a few chunks of meant and
swallowed them to also making sure there was still enough for him.

I placed the box back and he investigated it “You left
practically all of it” he said amazed “well I didn’t want you to starve” I said
and lied down on my back letting the food go into my stomach, slowly I began to
feel a lot better.
