Something tells me John is going to turn into one of those selfish pragmatists at the last moment. At which point it will be "Good-bye Charles!"

Well this changes everything.

Dustin got captured instead of John, and Dustin was captured in her shoe! So now Simone's eagerness to find John has subsided and now her attention goes to Dustin as she learns that he stole her laces.

This chapter felt a little shorter that usual, but it still was crucial to the story. I mean, Dustin getting captured was not what I expected. He was supposed to be the last guy in my opinion.

Also, how did the girls sense them? I didn't get that answer yet. I have yet to find out.

I finally understand the heart thing. It was a sign that the girls knew that they were there. Charles was right! I may be jumping to conclusions, but that's all I can think of right now. These girls are mysterious.

Blake is dead, Dustin captured, and John and Chalrie are left.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

It's always good to throw you a curve to keep you guessing which way the story is going to turn, :)

I had to briefly re-read the first three chapters. And, I think Dustin's right. Good plot twist!

I noticed that the tough guys always die first. If they act tough, the women see them as a threat and neutralize it.

Blake was one of those tough guys. I think John is next. Dustin is probably gonna be third, but he will make his death more interesting becuase of his craftiness. I think Charles will be the last one to live, because of his constant fear of everything. Simone and Elizabthe will enjoy his fear and make it last before they finish him. That's my guess.

An injured tiny man, is a dead man. These giantess desire fun, and once Blake got crushed, well, he is not fun anymore.

Dustin using some psychology to his advantage. If he can't win physically, he might win mentally.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Loving the detail! Most typical hide and seek games in stories don't even last a chapter! This is awesome!

Simone hip bumping the fridge. I love it when girls use their hip to push things. It just seems sexy to me.

If Simone and Elizabeth are checking one furniture at a time, I think the best option is to hide by one furniture and then move to another piece of furniture that they already checked. Silent and swift is the key. (Easier said than done.)

Master bedrooms are usually enormous, especially to a tiny person. I wonder if there is a hidden giant woman in the room, but the guys didn't go there. I went to this one open house, and the master bedroom was basically 3 little rooms in one. There's the actual bed room, the bath room, and then the giant walk in closet room. If this master bedroom is anything like the master bed room that I saw, then I wouldn't be surprised to see another woman hiding there.

Then again, I want Simone to find them all, becuase I can't wait to see what she does to them. Also, becuase Simone is the girl that all 4 guys were ogling when she first appeared.

(Next chapter: Dustin finds a secret hideout. The group hide as long as they can, but they need food soon. Simone puts food out in the open trying to lure them out. Will the guys get caught? Stay tuned for chapter 7!) That's my guess.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thanks Tom I appreciate your feedback, and you are quite correct, this master bedroom also has a large walk in closet and attached batrhoom.

Actually, that's pretty smart of John. Most any other shrunken man definitely _would_ want to stay as far as possible from the bedroom with the birdcages that could house one pair of sm's a piece.

Hmmm. So now we got 2 groups. The badass group, and the thoughtful group.

Blake and John seem like those guys that will get themselves swallowed, and Dustin and Charles will probably remain alive becuase of their non-agreessive nature.

John finds Blake and they finally believe in magic.

Charles finds Dustin and they start eating a cookie.

Dustin and Charles are hilarious! I just can't get that scene out of my head. Haha!

Now that the tinies have woken up, let the games begin!

Simone reminds me of this one girl I met. She had really big bright green eyes, and I thought she was part alien. Like she had a look that made you feel dazed as you met those eyes. (Another example is that girl from the movie "cowboys and aliens". I forgot her name though).

These guys are hypnotized by Simone! They don't even realize that no cell phone service is trouble! Talk about deadly seduction!

Dustin knows something is up, but his friends can't be convinced.

I like what Nonna said. "It's good, it will make you strong". Let's take a look at that phrase. It's good means that it will only good for the women, but bad for the guys. Then the strong part will probably mean that their size will be reduced but they are more durable.

Now there's that classic, "you get food, and you better like it" situation. That happens to me more often than not. I always have to exaggerate just to appease those who have offered me food. I totally feel for these guys as they lied here.

Then Simone just nonchalantly says, she can't stand it, and I just laughed as all the guys are like, "yeah, it's crap". Great diologue.

Simone reminded me of Poison Ivy at the end of the chapter. She has that "sleep tight"(but my plants will eat you) attitude.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

A suitably spooky start! :-)
