Adam sighed as he rounded to corner towards the house he was looking for. Adam didn't know this town well all he knew was the woman of his dreams lived within in it. The weather had turned bitterly cold all of a sudden causing Adam to pick up the pace. He was both nervous as he was excited today was the day he believed he would ask Alissa out. Alissa and Adam had a strong friendship that had built up over the previous years, the more Adam matured the more he thought of having a relationship with Alissa. Although Allisa didn't take much notice of his advances so Adam decided today was the day he had to be honest with her, explain how he felt. None the less today was an important day because it was the first time he had ever been to her house, which by now had come into view. It wasn't a pretty house it had it's downs but it looked to be two story yet small and cozy. Not wanting to hesitate Adam approached the porch and rung the doorbell.

"Hey Adam" stated Alissa as she oppened up the door, with her right hand she beckoned him in.

"Cold day isn't it? Earlier on i thought it was going to be lovely."

"Yeah I thought so too" Adam replied, "So wheres your room?"

"It's upstairs, i'm not one to boast but it's a great view up there you can see the whole street!"

"Sweet" 

So without further awaitment Adam and Alissa climbed the stairs towards her room and Adam had to agree the view was nice. The room itself was rather big compared to his own room. She basically owned the top half of her house with her sister only accross the room from her. At the thought of the sister Adam thought about the rest of her family the house seemed awefully quiet.

"So wheres your family?" Said Adam not trying to come off to rudely by asking

"They have gone out for the day, don't know when they will be back could be tomorrow or the day after."

Fantastic Adam thought to himself. It seemed luck was on his side helping to make all the puzzle pieces fall into place. It seemed that he was destined to do this but Adam decided to hold of and would wait for the perfect oppotunity to arise instead.

A few hours had since passed since Adam's arival at the house. Still no such oppotunity had presented itself yet. Adams confidece was begining to slip. whilest he was having fun with his friend the task he had come to do remained at the back of his mind tormenting him. Adam felt that time was running out but he needed not to worry Alissa had seen the expression on his face.

"You all right?" She asked Adam "is there something on your mind?"

"Ah... yes there is."

"What is it? Would you like to tell me? We are friends of course"

This was it this was the moment. Now Adam had Aiissa's full atention she sensed as he knew what he had to say was important. Adams heart began to accelerate as he tried hurridly to think of the best words to express his feelings to her. But he couldn't a wall had formed in his head preventing him from thinking correctly even though he had rehearsed this moment so many times before. Alissa began to stare at him with confusion rather than interest, this look making it even harder to find a source of words. Adam's confidence was plumetting fast with each passing second. Finally he decided he couldn't do it, it wasn't in him. So he aborted.

"It's nothing"

"Are you sure? You don't seem ok about it"

"Nah it's fine"

Adam had blown it. He had the perfect oppotunity and had not seized it the way he had always imagained doing so. Adam now wanted nothing more but to retreat and gather his thoughts. Head still spinning he got up.

"I think i might go now"

"ok, just hold on a minute i've got to go to the bathroom, then i'll see you out."

Adam sat down again on Alissa's bed waiting for her to return so that he could leave. His head though was still spinning and was starting to become uneasy for him. trying to catch his breath Adma lied down on the bed hoping for the sickness to pass. Unfortunatly for Adam it was to much to handle and he was overcome by it and fainted.

Adam begrudgingly awoke at the sound of a distant trembling. Regaining his bearings he stood up trying to piece together what his last memory was. Perhaps his surroundings could help allude to what where he was. It seemed weird, around him was what seemed to be a snowy forest. However it did not seem natural the white surroundings stood completely still, they did not bend nor did they sway. Perhaps he was at some weird theme park he thought. Adam’s mind was desperately trying to figure out the question with the evidence around him but nothing was forthcoming to help answer the question. Adam looked up there was a sky it was white with an oddly shaped sun. It was then Adam’s brain kicked into gear as the tremor continued to get louder. He focused on the sun concentrating hard, something looked wrong about it. Suddenly realisation along with his memories rushed to greet him. Adam was not staring at the sun but rather a large light bulb that seemed a planet away. Now Adam remembered he was in Alissa’s room, except he was small and not just small, but incredibly small. This jungle he was in was the carpet, it arose around him higher than the tallest tree he had ever seen.

The Tremors had returned with each passing moment they grew louder and sounded more destructive. Adam had a mix of curiosity and fear he yearned to know what the noise’s source, yet felt instinctive to try and preserve himself in this new world he was now trapped in. The tremors now turned into earthquakes. It was so bad Adam was unable to retain balance and had to remain sitting down until he finally saw a glimpse of the source. The light he called sun was now eclipsed by a large moving platform it seemed. It was like watching a star destroyer of immense size rush over head at incredible speed. But something caught his eye and that was the sign of a little tick logo on whatever was passing by. Finally the moment was over and what he guessed to be a colossal sneaker had completed its trip followed by the sound of another sneaker crashing nearby. There she was, Alissa she consumed all of my vision that wasn’t carpet. Her legs stretched up higher than any distance man on this earth had seen. Her nicely moulded legs conjoined inside a pair of shorts that dominated the space that was her lower body. Adam couldn’t believe what he was seeing the tiny hairs on her legs even dwarfed him.

“I guess he couldn’t wait”

The sound of her voice hit Adam like a wave forcing him to the ground yet again. It hung around like an unusual thunderclap making Adam cover his ears and beg for it to stop, although as soon as it had started it was over with nothing but a tiny Adam wincing in pain by Alissa’s gigantic feet. When Adam was finally able to allow his mind to roam again he sensed Alissa was disappointed with him leaving early. The side of Adam that wasn’t focusing on survival took a direct hit that he wasn’t there at the moment. Alissa meantime was not waiting around to keep her shoes on any longer her feet must have ached from that run she had complained about to Adam earlier on. She readjusted her position allowing her lower body to fall onto the bed like a meteor before beginning to untie her shoes. Alissa tossed one of her shoes uncaringly away, and why should she care? The tiny world around her was unseeable to her. It’s hard to be guilty when your oblivious to what you have done. The ground shook as a shoe crashed near Adam’s position causing him to fall yet again. While doing so he noticed something flying above him preparing to make crush him where he was. Adam screamed out hoping that somebody would hear him and save him from this scary world. However it was to be the carpet that was to save the day as the carpet around him bent and constricted preventing the object from falling any further towards him. Adam had survived yet again.

Adam now after collecting himself had become curious to what small insignificant thing had almost ended him. It was nothing but a simple shoe lace, it had almost fallen on him like a tree after being chopped down. While it had almost closed the door on Adam’s life an opportunity to get out of this white maze that Adam had not long ago been crushing underneath him. He climbed the nearest piece of carpet which was in reach of the giant sneaker lace. Once near the top he hoisted himself onto the lace. The lace itself was bigger than a road train if you where to stack two of them up it would still be bigger. All Adam could do now was walk until he reached his destination the large sneaker that stood like a monument in the distance.

Night time was now beginning to settle in as Adam drew closer towards the monolith sneaker. Alissa had moved deciding to do some study by her desk, a small move but it had helped quashed Adam’s fears of her needing to use her sneaker again, it seemed Alissa had no plans for the rest of the night to go anywhere, for that Adam could breathe a sigh of relief. Although Adam was small and almost unseeable to the naked eye he had not expected to take so much time up just trying to reach the sneaker, it put into proportion just how small Adam really was. However as time pressed on Adam finally arrived at his destination. The lace now slopped up the front of the sneaker, forcing Adam to climb now, much to his surprise the fabric of the lace was easy to grip and made climbing very easy for Adam. Adam pressed on when towards the top of the sneaker when all of a sudden Alissa got up to go and grab something to eat. By now Adam was used to the Tremors but this one had caught him off guard causing Adam to lose his grip on the lace.

Adam had fallen off the lace and impacted with the surface of the sneaker below. Because Adam was near the entrance of the shoe he was on a slope. Adam began to slide down the way he had come towards to toe section of the sneaker. The material of the shoe made it uncomfortable sliding unable to control or prevent himself from sliding further, Adam screamed. But no one was going to save him, his pleas for help would go unanswered. The one person that could save could not hear and was no longer within the room anyway. Adam began to pay attention to his destination which was to toe section of the shoe. The end of the shoe was dominated by a field of holes. These were designed to be small and allow air flow for Alissa’s feet, however for Adam these were large and dominated the whole section he was heading too. Adam could also the heat rising up from these holes like a road on a hot summer’s day. Unable to stop himself Adam continued to slide until one hole got in the way of his path and allowed Adam to fall inside. Still screaming Adam begged for an end as he was blasted by a wave of hot air. While this air was most unwelcomed, it did slow down his decent towards to sole of her shoe where he landed with an almighty thud.

Adam lay on his back stunned by pain and the how quickly a turn of events had appeared. He looked up at the ceiling small parts of light where penetrating through the holes he had just fallen through. While some light was flooding in the insides of his new prison, it was mostly bleak and dark. Adam’s back was wet having landed on the soft moist ground that was soaked with sweat still here from Alissa’s run earlier on. Back still in pain from impact Adam got to his feet again so he could examine his situation, but mostly to get some distance between him and Alissa’s left over sweat. The smell of sweat was strong it clung to him like cigarette smoke. Adam could taste it in his mouth while it violated his nostrils. Without many options Adam began a tiresome journey towards the mouth of the shoe, and then he could hopefully climb out.

Adam trudged along with little light behind him. His footfalls were audible as that collided with the squishy surface below, each time making a squelch noise. Adam had long ago done away with his jumper and shirt but had decided to leave his pants on. The humidity was unbearable hence why Adam was half naked; still he continued to sweat profoundly, constantly worrying that he would pass out from exhaustion or from dehydration. Still despite it all Adam’s body and mind proved to be durable taking everything being thrown at it in stride. This did not stop thoughts from entering his mind though such as; how he was going to get out of this situation, would he ever see his friends or family again or at any moment his life could be ended with one swift stroke. Even though these played on Adam’s mind he remained committed because he really had no other options other than to try and get rescued.

Not paying much attention to what was happening Adam blindly walked into something soft yet drenched with sweat. His thoughts interrupted Adam looked to see what he had walked into. Adam’s hopes were dashed he had walked into a sock which Alissa had stuffed in her shoe sealing off chances of exit. Adam was trapped.

Adam felt that he was near breaking point as he continued to stare at the sock that separated him from exiting Alissa’s smelly shoe. Alissa had long ago turned the light off and had gone to bed but Adam remained awake. Why had this happened to him? There was no explanation or reasoning to how and why he had shrunk. Alissa his love slept miles away from him without a care in the world while Adam was left awake scared and confused. Adam had a simple way out of this mess but trying to solve the equation itself was a dangerous task, simple he needed Alissa to find him, but that would prove difficult at the size he was and being trapped in the sock did not help any further to solving the problem. Morale was low every though Adam had was negative putting himself down, making him feel worthless for having gotten trapped inside a shoe, no person could have possibly endured such an odd defeat. Finally Adam decided to take control of his mind, all the negative talk would have to wait because Adam was tiered and needed rest. Moving the sock around Adam had created a perfect sleeping place for which to lie down on as well as cover him up. Without further hesitation an exhausted Adam crawled into his strange bed and fell asleep.

An alarm clock buzzed in the distance to Adam it sounded like a thunderclap to his tiny ears. With Alissa beginning to stir Adam decided to get out of bed, there was only one problem with that, he was stuck. The sweat unaware to his knowledge acted like glue while he slept, now dry, it held Adam in place preventing him from moving.

Meantime Alissa began to get herself out of bed. Her feet were first to leave the covers so they were the first part of her body being exposed to the cold morning air, no longer protected by the sheets of her bed. Too lazy to pull a new pair of socks out her draw she scouted the floor the ones she had worn during her run yesterday knowing that they would be easier to place on her feet having done so yesterday. After looking for about twenty seconds she found the pair that she had carelessly stuffed into her shoe. Her feet gave off a little feeling of heat indicating her body excitement for covering up from the cold. Standing up Alissa made her way over to her dirty sneakers and pulled the socks out from within her sneaker.

Adam heard the sound of a distant yet familiar rumbling indicating that Alissa was walking in this direction. From what Adam could tell, she was very very close the entire sneaker was vibrating because of this. Adam screamed out in a attempt to try and gain her attention which he knew at this level would be impossible. He was then surprised when he noticed that the sock had lurched up taking him with it. Had she heard him? Thoughts of excitement ran through his head. If she had discovered him she was being very careless because Adam now had to cling onto the sock because he was miles above the ground. Alissa brought the sock up to her face, was she looking for him? Adam noticed that her eyes weren’t searching for him. Alissa inhaled bringing the sock slightly closer to her face before taking it away from her in disgust, swinging Adam violently almost breaking the sweat seal.

“That stinks” stated Alissa pointing out the obvious that Adam already knew. Her breath rolled over him like an invisible mist. Adam smelt a foulness he had not smelt before and almost gagged at it, her breath was more putrid that the sock he was attached to.

“Alissa! I’m here! Right I front of you, look at me!” Adam was beginning to realize that Alissa was not looking for him, knowing he may not get this chance again Adam decided to make as much noise a possible hoping Alissa’s ears might pick his tiny pleas for help. The response he got was enough to make Adam pull all of his hair out, Alissa without a thought just lowered him away from her face. Adam was so outraged and mad he didn’t realize his predicament. Without much thought she threw the sock Adam was attached to onto the bed beside her. Letting out a few cursed words Adam moved his head to see what she was doing. She had crossed he legs, not fully though as she was using her placement to pull the other sock onto her foot. Adam’s mind suddenly put an equation to him and instantly solved. Other sock + foot = Adam’s sock + foot

“Oh shit!” yelled Adam upon realizing where he was destined to go next

Meantime Alissa had just finished pulling on her sock, making sure it was on tight and high to shield her flesh from as much cold as possible. She pulled her finger out of the back the sock, which made the sound of the sock snapping shut that made Adam cringe with fear. Without giving much attention she places her hand on the bed grabbing the sock Adam was stuck to the bottom of and brought it to the front of her so she could carry out her task.

“Please Alissa don’t do this I’m a human being!” Adam said this tears rolling down his face knowing that Alissa was not listening.

“For God’s sake Alissa listen to me, I don’t deserve this!” however Alissa carried on ignoring Adam, like a parent ignoring a Childs tantrum.

To further aggravate an emotional Adam her giant finger came down on top of him effectively silencing him. Adam made an effort to try and free himself from underneath the finger, but the finger pressed hard on him. Adam could feel himself going backwards as the finger continued to push, then it suddenly stopped and removed itself from on top of Adam. A startled Adam looked around, the outside of the sock had become the inside, and the material of the sock arose around him like walls. Adam looked up in time to see the hand of Alissa leaving the inside of the sock, and for the briefest of moment he got a glance at her face. As if by instinct Adam yelled and struggled trying to gain her attention and like so many times before she ignored him. Adam spotted Alissa’s toes entering the rim of the sock, at this point Adam lost control and bashed around in order to free himself. Surprising himself it worked and he managed to get free, yet he was still trapped at the bottom of the sock as Alissa began to pull him closer to her foot.

As if be confided to the smelly inside was not torture enough Alissa had decided to bestow the an even more cruel act upon him. At Adams size the sound of Alissa pulling the sock against her skin resembled a muffled scrapping sound as her foot drew closer. The one exit was now cut off and Adam began to feel claustrophobic. Although Alissa had given him plenty of time to adjust he still was not ready for making contact with her foot. Smashing into Adam with great speed was Alissa's big toe moving him backwards. Adam with no choice but to take it on board and hug the toe out of fear of slipping under it moved backwards until she stopped. The end of the sock which for so long had been a soft wall had hardened into a much harder and more brutal having tightened as Alissa had decided to stretch her sock to the limit, however she was also stretching Adam to the limit as well. Adam was sandwiched between the the wall of her sock and Alissa's gigantic foot, because of the little space Adam was pretty much forced to hug her big toe. He now saw things from a new perspective, Adam could notice a pattern in her skin that somewhat resembled a brick wall, however his brick wall was alive, warm and soft. At regular hight only a camera that could display more pixels would be able to notice this.

Alissa now satisfied that her feet were warm enough she got to her feet and began to stole down the stairs for breakfast. Meantime she had unawarely cast Adam further into a hell.

Adam had gone into free fall as Alissa cast her foot over the edge and quickly onto the floor bringing the fall to an abrupt end. However the tightness of the sock restricted him from falling free, but the quick change and sudden end had done enough to make Adam feel woozy. Suddenly the dynamics changed the skin of Alissa's foot intensified stretching and expanding, he could hear air rushing out from underneath her foot. Adam felt the toe he was attached to stiffen and place itself firmly on the ground. It did not take long to figure out that Alissa had simply stood up but the experience of being so small down here was surreal. Loud sounds of the floor shifting and groaning underneath the weight of Alissa could be heard, being this small Adam sympathised with the floor for having to deal with that pressure but found himself fortunate that his tiny body would not have to go through the ordeal, for now.

There was a thud not to far off in the distance, then without warning Alissa's foot propelled itself forward and into the sky carrying an afraid Adam with it. Now Adam hugged the big toe out of fear rather than just being forced too as Alissa's foot plummeted back down to earth with great speed rocking Adam's world when making impact. Adam was shaken but thankfully still very much alive, but before he could even register a thought the process started again, to be repeated again and again. Adam's body was under duress and stress, Alissa provided him no time to brace for the next one leaving him fearful and unprepared as Alissa took each step. But matters got worse by the time Alissa had reached the stair, Alissa's foot now concentrated on landing her foot more forward and direct, so now Adams section of the was hitting the surface first making the ordeal more violent for Adam. Also the free falling lasted longer as Alissa simply walked down the stairs.

However for Adam the ride, for now thankfully came to an end after Alissa finished making her breakfast and sat down to consume it. Adam now had time to plot of what his next course of action should be before Alissa began to walk again. Adam was still forced up against Alissa's big toe but the movement had created some space between her toe and the wall of the sock allowing Adam to move slightly. Deciding that it was to frightful to imagine if he fell underneath Alissa's toe Adam decided to scale her ginormous toe. Climbing her toe was easier than he had expected the skin of her toe provided so many areas he could bury his hands and feet into making ascendancy easy. The feel of the wall of the sock began to fade away behind him as Alissa toe nail pushed at away, now Adam really had to hold on without the back support. Adam after a long climb was now underneath Alissa's toe, he did contemplate wether or not he should wedge himself here until it was safe to leave, but the disgusting dirt Alissa had accumulated under her foot made Adam think otherwise. Continuing the remainder of his climb Adam went to the side of Alissa's toe so he could haul himself onto the surface of Alissa's toe nail.

There was some space on this new surface Adam had discovered, thanks to Alissa's need to wearing her sock tight a small gap had formed from just near the edge of her nail allowing Adam to stand again. However this small achievement was brought to a quick halt as Alissa naturally without thinking started moving her foot to a beat in her head. For Adam his world lurched upward, it was like being on a jumping castle except the ground Adam was rebounding into was cold and hard.

After a while it stopped and Adam just lay there for a moment trying to muster his strength. Eventually Adam got to his feet pausing to see his momentary to see his reflection in Alissa's black nail polish. Even in this weird mirror Adam could see that his body had taken a belting, he also noticed tears rolling down his face and was quick to wipe them away.

“whats the point!” adam sobbed allowing his tears to flow now “it's not like there is anyone around to see me, or that anyone will every again.” Adam's mind though was quick to quash thoughts that Adam had stated.

“You are Adam and you have pride so man up or except your new life then.” this thought was enough to motivate Adam again, once again wiping the tears away Adam fully stood up and planned what he should do next.

It did not take long to realise his only option. Knowing Alissa's love for music her toes could turn violent any moment and Adam did not want to go through that again. So without many options left Adam decided to do the one thing he could do head towards the exit and get out before Alissa might do something that he will regret. This new task proved much easier than the previous one of getting to the toe, it was an up hill walk but the sock still forced Adam to crawl, still it was a lot better than climbing. Adam was likely to the middle of Alissa's foot when suddenly Alissa got up again. Adam was caught of guard but managed to cling on, where she was going now Adam had no idea he only hoped that she would be sitting down again soon.

The repetitive slamming wasn't so bad now that Adam was up higher and fell onto the surface of Alissa's foot each time, he felt more secure. However for a moment Alissa's foot became airborne hovering for a while, Adam wished she would put it down again soon, and she did. Adam felt a wall press up against him as Alissa's foot shaked violently somewhat like wiggling. Soon when Alissa's foot had come to a stop there was another wall outside the sock pressing into him and Alissa's foot. The sounds of the outside became more muffled as the humidity began to rise again, it did not take long for Adam to work out that he was inside the sneaker again, although this time Alissa was with him and with that the danger had risen.
