Chapter 8 – Gauging the Giantesses
“Alright, tell me about all these women. I wanna know
everything. Quick!”, said Charles. He was talking to Sean and Spencer, but
others shrinkies were nearby as well. He’d chosen Sean and Spencer because they
seemed to know about all the giantess players.
Charles and JJ had been brought to the maze by Coco and
placed into the central hub, to join with the other fifteen shrinkies that Jinx
had sent there via a small tram that linked the shrink area hub to it.

Minutes earlier
It had been an interesting tram ride. The upper portion of
the vehicle was clear glass and allowed the seated and strapped-in shrinkies a
panoramic view. It was reminiscent of the overarching perimeter rides at Disney
and Universal Studios and it skirted the sidewalls of the dance hall before
ascending up via a chute into the third level, then hugged the walls again as
it came up just under the big side monitor, then entered into the central hub
of the maze arena, which was the tallest tower within it. The tram’s clear
glass top slowly lifted and their seat-buckles automatically disengaged,
allowing them to exit it.
Several spectators,
their fellow employees, could be seen gathering around the perimeter of the
arena. The giantess contestants were not to be seen just yet, and this would
allow the shrinky players to safely disperse to the different sections without
being observed.
The hub was a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
“Dude. No fucking way”, Dougan said excitedly when he and
the others had been transported to the maze’s central hub tower and looked out
over the rest of the clear maze. “This is totally awesome.”
Only one guy seemed blatantly unhappy – a Liger’s employee
named Jonas – he’d had his well-kept beard removed during the de-hairing
process. He’d yelled up at Jinx afterward, but she’d just giggled, cleaned him
and set him into the tram.
Not only was there a variety of emotions going on within the
hub – there was also a variety of different size shrinkies. Each was given the
choice of getting shrunk to between 1 and 3 inches. Dirk and Dougan had chosen
to be shrunk to just an inch in height, hoping to use stealth to get to a safe
haven. Most had chosen to be shrunk to 1.5 to 2 inches, including Spencer,
Curt, Sean and Tommy. Meanwhile, a couple had chosen the largest size of 3
inches, these being Jonas and Amos. Of course, Charles and JJ were already
sized at 3 inches. Charles wanted the larger size in order to be able to run
more effectively and to handle some of the specialized equipment within the
arena. While he knew stealth was important, he also depended on his athletic
prowess.

Jinx was just about to go on break. She had just finished
shrinking down the fifteen new volunteers for the maze game and sent them on
their way via small tram up to the third floor.
It was still early enough in the day where she was the only
one to handle the shrinking/cleaning by herself. Of course, Janice would join
her at 5pm to make them a 2-woman team. In the meantime, she would just get
Lindsay or Danielle to cover her for a half hour.
She was surprised when a young man came running towards her
– he was huffing and puffing, as though he’d just finished a marathon. She was
used to normal patrons approaching in pairs. She briefly considered calling
down to security.
“Whoa, hold on there. Where are you going?”, Jinx said as
she stepped in front of him and stopped him by extending her arms out to his
chest.
“Sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’m with the party that has a game
of Maze Runner, or Shrink Maze, or whatever it’s called…”, the man said, trying
to catch his breath.
“So you rushed over here to be gobbled up by one of your
colleagues?”, she asked. Jinx looked down at her watch. The game, while it
probably hadn’t started yet, was due to begin any moment. There wouldn’t be
time to go through the normal shrink/de-hair/clean process and get the shrunken
man up to the arena in time. In fact, the tram still hadn’t returned. And she
was hungry – this would cut into her break time. A thought occurred to her.
“Oh, no”, he said, “it’s a ‘safe’ game. Though I’ll enjoy
being tiny and them chasing after me.” The man had more than simply playing the
game on his mind. His extra motivation derived from a desire to impress a
prospective female whom he knew would be observing. He had befriended for years
and been a comforting and reliable friend to her in time of need. He had been
working out like a fiend in recent weeks though, once he found out about the
company outing, to try to get himself physically into as good a shape as
possible in that time. Though he technically couldn’t be described as being
fit, he had lost several pounds and buffed up his legs, arms and shoulders. If
he kept up his regimen, he would tighten things up around his waist. He hoped
she would notice and that perhaps she might look at him as more than just a
good friend.
“Sign this form”, Jinx said, handing him a clipboard and
pen. A sheet of paper had the signature of sixteen names on it, with several
sheets underneath. The man took the pen and quickly signed.
“Thanks. Now go ahead and get undressed”, she ordered the
man. The man hesitated for a moment before he began to comply. “What’s your
name, honey?”
“Howard”, he answered as he lifted his shirt off, “er, Howie
Angleton.”
Jinx looked over the list of names she had on her checklist.
His name didn’t appear.
“Hmmm, I don’t see your name on the list of players, Howie”
“Yeah”, Howie laughed as he pulled off his trousers, “they
didn’t know I was gonna play. I had a lot of work to do this morning, but I was
able to get it finished. From the group texts, I saw that one of the other guys
had decided he was too full to play, so I hi-tailed it over here.”
“Very nice”, said Jinx as she observed him strip down to
just his underwear. “You can take those off too. There’s a pair inside the
shrink booth which you can put on and they’ll shrink with you.” Jinx enjoyed
this part of the process a lot. She liked checking out boy’s packages – while
they all looked similar, she found each one unique.
Looking up, Howie caught her peering at his genitals, and he
coughed to let her know he was ready.
Go ahead and step in there”, she told him after he’d removed
his underwear.
Howie did as instructed. The twenty-eight year old was
mildly embarrassed at having to strip nude in front of such a gorgeous young
woman, since he could be considered to be just a touch on the heavy side around
his mid-section.
Jinx didn’t mind, however. She thought he had an attractive
face and disposition. The extra protein would be welcomed. She sized him for 3
inches and without further comment, she pressed the button to shrink him down,
not waiting for him to put on the edible underwear.
Bending down to pick up his tiny form, she had decided not
to waste the effort to de-hair and clean him. She enjoyed spicy men.
“So the others don’t know you’re here?”, she asked, just to
be on the safe side.
“Nope. I’m sure they’ll be surprised to see me”, Howie said,
just now gaining his bearings and looking up into Jinx’ bright face.
“They would be”, she agreed, then popped him straightaway
into her mouth head first. Her tongue curled up under his genitals as he slid
into her maw, his legs kicking back like a frog as he tried to gain purchase on
her tongue.
Jinx tilted her head back and gulped twice to deposit the
shrunken man into her belly. With his size, he would go some way into filling
her previously empty stomach. Maybe now, an appetizer of nachos and a drink
would keep her until the evening break.

Back to current time
“So, I’m not sure any of them would actually eat any of us,
but if there was one, my guess would be Jewels”, said Sean.
“Yeah, I agree”, said Curt. “She’s a bit of a wild child.”
Curt had heard some interesting stories about Jewels from Spencer.
“Which one is she again?”, asked Charles. The 5 women were
in their vision now, though their backs were turned as Coco was going over the
rules of play with them.
“She’s the one with blond hair…no that one”, said Sean. He
pointed to Jewels to clarify, as Jasper also had blond hair.
“What about that one?”, asked Charles, pointing at Jasper.
“She’s a friend of mine and Spencer’s”, Curt responded.
“She’s pretty cool. Very athletic too.”
“You don’t say”, said Charles, clearly pondering something
as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “How well do you know her?”
“Uh, not too well”, Curt admitted, “We see her from time to
time at the Rec Center when we play Walleyball. She’s really good and really
competitive. Pretty nice though. And she has an ass that won’t quit.”
“Hmmm…competitive is bad”, Charles remarked. “Athletic is
ok, I can deal with that, but athletic and competitive. That could be a
problem.”
“She probably harmless”, stated Curt. “Since she’s an outsider
to the group, like me, I don’t think she’ll want to push the envelope, if you
know what I mean.”
JJ and Spencer had come over next to the three. “Whatcha
talkin’ about?”, asked Spencer.
“Just trying to gauge our giant players”, said Charles. “How
about that one?”, he asked, pointing at the older woman with the hourglass
figure.
“That’s Mox”, said Spencer, adding “she woudn’t hurt a flea.
She has six boys of her own that she’s raised. We all love her.”
"And
her?”, JJ asked, pointing to the black-haired young beauty in the captain
marvel outfit who was squatting low and seemed to be looking directly at them
while she stretched.
“That’s Natalie”, said Spencer. “I don’t think she would harm any of us, but I
could be wrong.”
“Natalie’s a sweetie”, said Sean. And looking super hot in that outfit, he thought, wondering how it
would feel to have her spandex-clad legs wrapped around him and envisioning his
face below the position where she was squatting up and down. He had gotten word
from Dane during lunch that Natalie had a surprise for the group. She had
changed while the men were getting shrunk down.
“Good, good”, said Charles, “and how about the hottie with
the brown hair?”
“Uh…that’s my sister”, said Sean.
“Ha, well, I hope you two get along”, said JJ.
“We do normally”, Sean replied, “but we got into a bit of a
tiff last week when she came home to visit the family. I knew I shouldn’t have,
but I was teasing her about Natalie and Dane. She has a bit of a crush on Dane,
so she didn’t appreciate me relaying how well those two seem to be hitting it
off.”
“Wait, Natalie and Dane…?”, Spencer started, but was cut
off.
“Nevermind that now kid”, said Charles sternly, “the point
is – can we trust her?”
“Er, yeah, I think so”, said Sean in a more nervous tone
than any of the others would have found comfortable. “She did say she’d kill
me”, he said, shrugging his shoulders, adding with a sheepish grin, “but I’m
sure she was kidding.”
