Alice was in heaven, she’d planned a day like this for a
long time but she’d never expected it go so well. It was Tuesday, early in the
afternoon, so no one would be here, here being at the movies. She’d wanted to
see the new “Godzilla” movie for the longest time, but she absolutely hated
crowded theatres. Someone always talked, or brought a baby, or found some way
to ruin her “movie experience”.

Today was perfect though, she was completely alone, and only
had about five minutes before the showing started. She munched on her candy
eagerly in the dimly lit theatre, excited and awaiting the start of her movie.

Then he ruined all
of it.

Alice saw a young man entered the theatre, a bag of candy
under his arm and a soda in his hand, she watched hesitantly as he began
surveying the empty seats, his eyes settling on the one other person in the
theatre.

Alice scoffed as he entered, but decided one person couldn’t
ruin her movie going experience and settled into her seat, trying to ignore the
boy in the corner of her eye.

To be fair, this next part wasn’t really his fault, he did
what he did next because he, like Alice, wanted the best possible seat for his
movie.

To Alice’s frustration, he seemed to be making his way
towards her, stopping at the row after hers and then proceeding all the way
down until he was almost directly behind her, only slightly off to the left.

Alice couldn’t believe this! How dare he! She’d picked the
perfect spot in the theatre as to have the best possible seat, and this lout
just waltzed in, and of all the open seats decided to sit behind her!? This was
an outrage. She wanted nothing more than to slap him in his face. Alice took
her movies very seriously.

Alice began to curse and mutter under her breath as he
munched away happily, unaware that he’d done anything wrong. As she waited,
Alice began to cast a few stray glances back in his direction. He was handsome,
she had to admit. Short blonde hair spiked in the front, deep blue eyes, and a
bit of stubble on his cheeks. He wasn’t ripped but it was clear he made a bit
of effort to control his weight and shape, the tank he was wearing proved that
much, he had broad shoulders and his biceps were well defined.

He caught her looking at him and smiled a warm friendly
smile, unaware he’d done anything to upset this girl.

Alice rolled her eyes and scowled, turning back to the cop
out intro about turning off your cell phone in the movie theatre.

The young man was a bit taken aback, but decided he wouldn’t
let her rudeness bother him, after all, he was only here to enjoy the movie as
well.

The movie finally started and Alice settled in, ready for a
show, the boy all but gone from her mind as the first opening shots started.

The movie started off slow, but she didn’t mind, she was way
too pumped for her day of relaxation.

That’s when she smelled it. The jerk behind her had clearly bought
popcorn, and he had clearly added too much cheese! She turned to look at him
when she got a face full of foot. It wasn’t cheesy popcorn; it was the cheese between
his toes!

He had propped his bare feet up on the chair next to hers,
his soles tilted slightly in her direction. The light of the movie made his
sweaty soles shine. Alice was appalled, his feet were rancid! She coughed loudly, hoping he’d take the hint, but he just
kept on watching.

Alice turned away and tried to focus on the movie, no way
was she going to move! She had the perfect seat!

As the movie went on his foot stink only got worse. He
wiggled his toes in her peripheral vision and rubbed them on the back of her
seat, sighing happily, this was clearly the first break they’d had in awhile
judging from the stink they were giving off.

Alice opened her mouth to eat some candy and realized she
could taste his cheesy feet. That was
the last straw.

“Excuse me” she said, turning around, her nose hovering in
front of his sweaty toes. Her face wrinkled as the cheesy odor invaded her
nose. His wrinkly soles were well lit by the movie screen.

He looked down.

“Huh?” He said, confused, “Did you say something?” At this
he unknowingly put his feet a mere inch away from Alice’s nose for a second,
causing her senses to overload for a brief moment.

“Yeah, could you please put down your feet?” Alice asked,
struggling not to shout as his cheesy foot stink filled her nose, “They kinda
stink.” She’d intended it to sound rude and harsh, hoping he might also move
seats and leave her alone.

His smile went away and he instead glared at her. “You think
my feet stink?” He asked slowly.

“I know they do,
first hand” She replied sarcastically.

He snorted. “Is that so?” He began to dig around in his
pocket, searching for something. He pulled his hand out, now holding a silver,
rod-like device with quite a bit of confidence. Alice had seen it before in
commercials, it was a minimizer.

“Whoa hold on, what are you-“

“You think my feet stink huh? We’ll see how much you like em
now!”

She shrunk instantly, just like on the commercials.

The pit of her stomach churned for a few short seconds as
her body adjusted to the sudden decrease in height. She held down the vomit and
looked around in fear at the suddenly gigantic world around here.

His massive hand descended from over the back of her seat,
his giant fingers menacing, she wasn’t even an inch tall.

“No wait! I’m sorry!” She screamed in horror as she ran. Her
efforts were in vain, his hand was gigantic compared to her new size, and she
was caught in seconds, pinched between his thumb and index finger.

He lifted her up effortlessly, grinning as the tiny girl
kicked her legs in terror as he dangled her high above the floor, in front of
his now massive face.

“Hey there little girl” He said, smiling as she screamed.

“Please! I was rude! I’m sorry! I mean it!”

He chuckled. “Of course you are! You’re 1/4th of
an inch tall! You’ll say anything to me to get yourself back to normal! Trust
me, this isn’t the first time I’ve done this!”

“No! Really! I didn’t mean it! Your feet smell fine!”

“Do they?” He smirked, “Then I guess you won’t mind what
comes next!”

He lowered her to the sticky theatre floor and dropped her.

Alice hit the cold ground and stood shakily, looking up just
in time to see his massive soles loom overhead.

“No!” she turned and began her attempt at escape, but he
effortlessly caught her, lowering his sweaty, stinky soles down onto her.

“Oh yeah, gotcha!” He said, chuckling as he flattened her
beneath his foot, being careful not to squash her completely of course, he didn’t
want the fun to be over too quickly.

Alice screamed as his foot pressed her into the ground, the
heat coming from his sole was intense. The pressure continued to increase as
she screamed, louder and louder, praying someone would intervene. As he rubbed
her against the ground some of his foot sweat entered her mouth and eyes. It
tasted awful, like pure salt water, and it stung her eyes so bad she could barely
see anymore. And the smell. It was a thousand times cheesier beneath his giant
sole, the stench only magnified by the fact that she was so tiny compared to
even his smallest toe.

All the while the giant chuckled, enjoying the feeling of
the tiny girl squirming underneath his foot.

Alice squirmed, now facing his wrinkly sole, sweat covering
her tiny body as she pushed with all her strength against the onslaught of his
giant sole, screaming in pure fear and confusion all the while, her senses were
completely overwhelmed by the cheesy stink of his awful foot odor.

“Please stop!” She screamed from under his foot.

He only laughed. “What? You don’t like my giant stinky foot?”

“Please, I just wanna be returned to normal!!!” she cried,
tears welling in her eyes.

He sighed. “Fine, I’ll make you a deal.” His move lifted
upwards, Alice stuck to his sole as it did.

He peeled her off. “First, what’s your name?” He asked as he
dangled her in front of his giant face.

“A-alice…” she muttered weakly, afraid to look him in the
eyes.

“Okay, my names James! Do you think you could help me with
something Alice? It’s not hard, and when you’re done I promise you’ll be
returned to normal!”

“Yes! Wh-whatever you want!” Alice said quickly, looking for
any way she could to escape this nightmare.

“Okay good! So here’s the thing, I have stinky feet right?”

Alice nodded slowly, afraid this might be some sort of
trick.

He laughed, “No really! It’s okay! I have really stinky feet don’t I? Go ahead,
say it!”

“You’ve got stinky feet” Alice said, afraid to disobey him
as well.

“Not just stinky, cheesy too! My feet smell like old cheese
huh?”

Alice agreed with him again.

“Well Alice, I’d love it if you could help me with my foot
odor, do you think you could do that?” He smiled at her as innocently as possible.

“O-Okay…sure…how though?” Alice asked.

“Well it’s pretty simple!” James told her, “My foot odor
comes from one place, and that’s between my rancid toes! There’s tons of cheese in there! Problem is, it’s
so hard for a big person with big fingers like me to clean down there. Now if
only I knew someone who could fit in there easily!” He gave her a knowing look.

Alice swallowed. “So if I go down there-“

“Between my sweaty, stinky toes!” James interrupted her,
delight on his face as he watched her groan in disgust.

“If I go down between your sweaty stinky toes…..you’ll return me to normal size?”

James held a hand to his chest, “Scout’s honor!”

Alice sighed. “Okay, stick me in there.”

“Hold on now” James said, repositioning himself in his seat,
“We don’t wanna make this too easy do
we? I think you should start somewhere a little further off, you were pretty
rude weren’t you?”

He brought his foot up to his lap, his sole upturned towards
the ceiling, his toes scrunching happily as his sweaty sole wrinkled over and
over.

“First though, before you get bigger” He retrieved his minimize,
“You have to get smaller!”

Alice cringed as he aimed and hit her with the device a
second time.

“Now you’re 1/16th of an inch!” James told her,
his voice now almost deafening to Alice’s nearly microscopic ears.

She covered them as he lowered her, dreading the sight
below, his wrinkly sole looked so sweaty and gross!

When she was almost there the smell hit her again, after her
break the foul, cheesy odor assaulted her heavily and she gagged.

James dropped her and she fell, slipping in between his foot
wrinkles.

James grinned as the speck sized girl disappeared on his
stinky foot. He began to wiggle and scrunch his toes, playing with the tiny
girl as she struggled to stay above his sweaty wrinkles where fresh air was a
bit more available.

Alice managed to surface, and she began her trek.

James would occasionally scrunch his toes and laughed as the
tiny speck was lost in his foot wrinkles, but despite that Alice eventually
made it to the ball of his foot.

Looking down the slope, Alice was terrified, his toes were
massive! Like giant flesh monuments, how would she ever be able to clean them?

James watched, waiting as the tiny speck girl made her way
between his big and second toe., slipping and sliding his sweat, only the
scrunch of his toes preventing her from falling to the ground far below.

“Well you made it! I’m impressed!” He said. “Now you can get
to work on cleaning my toe jam! Wait, what am I saying? You are my toe jam! Hahahaha!”

Alice was helpless, she was forced to watch as he lowered
his foot, rapidly approaching his dirty sneaker, as soon as it entered his foot
stink increasing a thousand fold!

“James what are you doing!? You promised!” She pleaded, not
that he could hear the tiny girl in between his grimy toes.

James stood, wiggling his toes and repositioning the tiny
girl for walking, and left.

On his way out an usher stopped him.

“Wasn’t there a girl in there?” He asked.

James shrugged, “All I saw was a little bug.”
