Special Report - Day 1 - The Bachelorette Party

Allie inched the Action News van through the crowd outside of Forbidden Dish. The protesters weren’t allowed on the property, so they got as close as they could and made it difficult for others to get in. Allie didn’t want to run anybody over, but she wasn’t about to stop and allow them to crowd around the van. Once they’d enveloped it there’d be no escape.

“I still don’t see why we were given three days to cover a restaurant”, Steve whined for the tenth time that day. Steve was a hotshot senior reporter assigned for this trip, but it would only last for a few months. This was part of training for Allie. Steve was to shadow her until she learned the ropes. And shadow her he did, if not always in a ‘polite’ capacity.

That’s why she was driving, so he could keep his eyes on her. At eight years her senior, Steve was ok on the eyes and relatively fit, but he had a cocky and sleazy edge to him that she found particularly disconcerting.

She could hear his breath catch every time they hit a pothole or any bump in the road. Pervert! I bet he didn’t want to take the back roads to avoid traffic either, she concluded. She didn’t openly complain. Allie wasn’t too confrontational and didn’t want to lose her job. She just hoped to get through her training without too much mental scarring. Then, if karma had her say, Steve would get what was coming to him.

“You obviously didn’t read the assignment report”, Allie said, “This could be the most controversial thing to ever be passed into law and so far only one other news station has covered it. The bigwigs want us to do things that are edgier. Besides, we have to do this before April from channel six or we’ll look like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys”. Why do I have to explain this to him? He should be the informed one.

“Whatever”, Steve said, obviously uninterested. “If this is going to be another piece on banning foie gras or veal, I’ll just let you take care of it.”

“So, you wouldn’t mind if I cover this one myself?” Allie asked trying to hide her excitement.

“Sure, I’ll throw you a bone”, Steve said, “You need experience and these lower level stories are just the perfect thing.” Steve didn’t really want to give her more airtime. He knew she’d have his job if she covered anything good, but he’d done enough of these mindless reports and he was supposed to be training her.

Studies had shown that the viewing audience preferred female field reporters to male, and her being half Hawaiian was a plus in the panel’s eyes. Diversity brought ratings, especially when it was difficult to tell where the newscaster was from.

“Just don’t oversell it. There’s no way they are selling anything people haven’t seen before.”

Allie decided to wait and let him find out for himself. This was a big break for her and she wanted to see his face when he realized what he had let go of.

“I want to get a few sound-bites from the protestors. Want to join me?” Allie asked.

“No, thanks, I’ll stay in the van”, Steve said, and yawned.

 --

“Ready Jael?” Allie asked. The camerawoman nodded solemnly. Allie wasn’t sure if she’d ever seen her smile, but she was always prepared and never let Allie down when it came to work.  They both headed out to set up the gear.

Allie stood in front of the crowd, but made sure that the camera had room to pan to the restaurant and the sign.

“At first glance Forbidden Dish may look like your average highbrow restaurant. It boasts two stories, each with their own bar, a dance club upstairs, and a fine dining restaurant downstairs, but that’s not what has people dying to visit. It’s all about what’s on the menu, or rather, who. That’s right, Forbidden Dish is the only restaurant in the world where volunteers are allowed to be shrunk to a more manageable size and swallowed either by the local staff or curious customers. Sound beyond belief? We at Channel 7 News take you inside to see for yourself, but first, a few words from the protesters outside.”

Allie approached a young woman in the crowd, “Excuse me ma’am, would you mind telling me what you have against Forbidden Dish?”

“They killed my boyfriend”, she answered.

“Was he a volunteer?” Allie asked.

“We didn’t know that once you sign the contract there is no changing your mind. It’s just not right.”

“How about you sir”, she asked a nearby Priest.

“Everybody has a right to life”, he said patiently, “Even if it is consensual and legal it’s still murder. I just want to tell any Catholics out there that if you have dined at this restaurant you need to go to confession before you may take the host.”

A pretty, young, brown-haired woman stood near the priest. “How about you miss?”, Allie asked her.

“It’s pure evil, what they’re doing in that restaurant”, the woman answered.

“So, you wouldn’t eat a miniaturized man?”

The woman responded, almost without thinking, “No!”

“Why not?”

“Because – that’s someone’s son, or husband, or father”, she replied

“Even if he signed up to be eaten? And he was cute?”, Allie said, pushing for more consideration.

The girl didn’t respond, just stood there glaring at Allie with her jaw clenched. Perhaps it was the first time the woman had actually considered it, and she didn’t want to answer in front of the priest.

Allie moved on and talked to several more people. Most of them were women whose boyfriends or husbands had snuck off to the place. The majority of them didn’t even know that their boyfriend was into that sort of thing. After Allie had filmed enough footage they headed back to the van.

“What do you think?” Allie asked.

“I think I need to try it before I can weigh in”, Jael said.

“Really? You’d actually go through with, well that?” Allie asked. She was a bit indignant. From what she’d seen so far she believed the protesters were in the right.

“Maybe my time in the Israeli Defense Force warped me, but these people chose to do this. Where I come from you go off to your possible death at 18 whether you want it or not”, Jael said bluntly.

“I’m a little nervous about even going in there. Trying it for myself hadn’t even crossed my mind”, Allie said.

“It would sure get the network’s attention”, Jael said. Allie couldn’t tell if it was meant to be a joke or not. She had no idea how to read her.

--

They parked the van in the front and showed their press badges to the bouncer. He radioed the founder while Steve, Allie, and Jael waited near the hostess’s podium. She didn’t keep them waiting. It wasn’t a full minute after he’d radioed that the owner showed up.

“Welcome to Forbidden Dish, I’m Meghyn”, She was fairly tall (Only Allie could look her in the eyes without craning her neck), blonde, and gorgeous. Steve suddenly looked more interested in the report than he’d been on the way, “I’m glad you could come. Last time I had visitors from the press I was away on business. Please let me know if you need anything to make your visit more comfortable. My wait staff has been instructed to answer any questions you may have and to show you around.”

“I was hoping to get to interview you personally”, Allie said.

“That will have to wait until tomorrow, I’m afraid”, Meghyn said, “You know what they say about running your own business, you get to choose which eighty hours you work each week”, Allie laughed politely, Steve laughed a little too hard, and Jael just stared, “We will set things up tomorrow. In the meantime, get to know my staff and help yourselves to the bar. My treat.” She excused herself and they were left to roam freely.

While the dining area was high end and classy, it was certainly not a jacket and tie only affair, Allie was shocked to realize that even the wait staff was scantily clad.

“Oh it’s one of those stories,” Steve said, “Kind of like that stripper car wash last summer. It’s still nothing new.”

“You’ll see”, Allie said smiling, “Let’s ask a few of the patrons if they’d be willing to be interviewed.”

They received their first glimpse of a tiny person as they neared a table where a group of women were having a bachelorette party. A few tiny men were dancing on the table amidst the various suggestive party favors. After getting the group’s consent to be filmed, Jael set up her camera.

“Are those?” Steve asked.

“Yup, now please move out of the way; you’re blocking the shot”, Allie said.

As Steve scooted over he noticed a woman at a nearby table stuffing a tiny man into her mouth. He looked green and was trying hard not to cry out.

“Nothing you haven’t seen before, right?” Allie asked snickering.

“How can they? Why would anybody? Is this even legal?” Steve yelled.

“You should’ve read the report”, Allie said. Steve was finally realizing what he’d lost and how much of a career maker this could be.

“Given the uh, nature of this place I’m thinking it may require a more experienced reporter”, Steve said taking the microphone and approaching the party girls.

“You going to just let him do that?” Jael asked. Allie shrugged.

“He’s my boss; what can I do?” Allie said.

“I could break his arm. I’ll make it look like an accident”, Jael said. The way she said it made Allie suspicious that she wasn’t kidding.

“Please don’t!” Allie responded quickly. “You’ll get both of us in trouble. It’s best to wait it out. Go film him. I’ll go look around.

--

While the other two filmed, Allie toured the first floor. Soft music was piped in from an unknown source. There wasn’t a very big crowd, but she’d heard that most people came during the evening hours and on weekends.

“Are you pred or prey?” A young man asked her, startling her out of a mild daydream.

“Neither. I’m a reporter”, Allie answered.

"That’s too bad”, the man said. He pointed to a red bracelet on his right arm, ”I was hoping you’d be willing to swallow me.”

“My friend says she wishes to swallow someone before we leave”, she pointed to Jael. Steve had moved on to other customers and Jael was following him with the camera, “What do you think? Should I ask her?”

The man nodded, “Please”, he whispered. He was staring wide-eyed at Jael as she maneuvered between tables to get better shots.

“We might have to wait for a few minutes”, Allie explained. “Let them wrap up.” The man nodded and they both decided to sit down. While they were waiting one of the waitresses approached Steve and told him something.

“Do you think I care?” He yelled, “I’m Steve Simpson! No waitress is going to tell me to tone it down!”

The bouncer and two other members of security that Allie hadn't noticed were even in the room escorted Steve out of the building. Since the two girls hadn’t caused any trouble they were allowed to stay.

“Should we check on Steve?” Allie asked.

“Nah, he did this to himself. I have no time for his pity party”, Jael answered, “Who’s your friend?”

“Actually, he might be your friend”, Allie said, “He wants to know if you’d be willing to swallow him.”

Jael shrugged, “Sure, why not?”

Allie didn’t understand how Jael could be so noncommittal about it.

“Hi, I’m Kent”, the man said.

“Jael.”

“I’ve never heard that name before”, Kent said

“It’s an old family name”, Jael said.

“It’s nice to meet you Jael. I can’t believe my luck to have found such a beautiful woman”, Kent said.

Jael smiled.

Allie wouldn’t have believed it if she wasn’t there herself to see it.

“Aren’t you scared?” Jael asked.

“I’m very nervous, but I’ve wanted this for a long time. I’m not going to bail out on you or anything.”

--

They went to the back and filmed some footage of the shrink booths, but they had to take the camera out of the room when the booths were operational for safety reasons. Jael stayed out in the hall with her camera while Allie walked Kent to the booth. The shrinking process was quick, and then Allie was holding a tiny man in her hands for the first time. She felt an unexpected thrill as she brought Kent out to Jael. They sat at a nearby table while Jael smiled down at the small man in her hand.

“Do you still think I’m beautiful little man?” She asked.

“Even more so than earlier”, he said in a nearly breathless voice. If the two girls hadn’t leaned in they wouldn’t have known that he said anything, but they could see him nod vigorously.

“Are you ready?” Jael asked.

Kent nodded. Jael slowly brought Kent to her mouth. She worked her tongue up and down his body. After doing this three times she slowly slid him into her mouth until only his feet stuck out, then she pulled them in with her tongue. She moved him around in her mouth for a little while before tilting her head back and swallowing.

Allie found herself unable to speak. Despite her apprehensions about Forbidden Dish she had been mesmerized the whole time.

“I can still feel him moving”, Jael said, in the same unimpressed manner that she used for everything. She might have been talking about the weather forecast with the tone she used. “It’s like having butterflies in my stomach. It’s pretty good actually. Like a massage from the inside. I can see why people like it.”

“I wonder what it’s like for him?” Allie said thinking out loud.

“We’ll probably never know”, Jael said, “Probably best not to dwell on it.”

“Point taken. Do you think your father would approve of this?” Allie asked.

"He’d disown me if he knew I ate bacon”, Jael said, “I’m pretty sure this crosses the line.”

While they were talking Allie’s phone rang. She rolled her eyes.

"It’s Steve”, she answered the phone, “How’s it going Steve? I guess I’ll have to cover the story myself. No, we’re not calling the whole thing off just because you don’t know how to act in public. Steve, Steve could you please stop yelling? You were making people uncomfortable in a private establishment. No, it wasn’t the waitress’s fault. Just go get a room. I’ll talk to them tomorrow about letting you back on the grounds. How is this my fault? Goodbye Steve!” She hung up.

The phone started ringing again, but she pushed the end button.

“You’re brave when he’s not in the room”, Jael said. Smiling, Allie stuck her tongue out, “I thought this place would be busier.”

“It will be tomorrow. We’ll have a lot to do”, Allie said, “For now it’s probably best to go back to the van and check out what we have so far.”  On their way out Allie’s phone started ringing again, “What is it Steve?”

“Don’t hang up!” Steve yelled, “Please listen! You know those women having that bachelorette party?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, after interviewing them I was moving on when I thought I heard one of the men cry out. He was begging for help, Allie, and they just ate him anyway!”

 “No way! This place only serves volunteers”, Allie was incredulous.

“It gets worse. When I asked them about it they just shrugged me off like it was no big deal”, he sighed heavily, “That’s not all, the other men started panicking and the girls just continued to eat them! I don’t know what’s going on in there, but I don’t want any part of it.”

“I’ll check out the video and call you back”, Allie said, “Don’t worry I’ll get to the bottom of this.” She hung up without waiting for a response, but she couldn’t help but be curious.

--

When they got to the van she plugged the camera in and watched the editing monitor and skipped to the footage of the bachelorette party, which was in-progress when the filming started.

>>>

From the holes in the cupcakes, it was clear they had been a surprise for the bride-to-be and it was very cute how they were dancing around the table in front of the women; each woman had a tiny man wearing nothing but tight tiny underwear dancing in front of them; most looked quite goofy in their dancing, but it was very cute and endearing nonetheless. They were various sizes, with the smallest at just over an inch and the largest almost three inches tall. A CD player was playing music for them to dance to. One well-muscled tiny was even dancing around a pacifier the woman of honor held on the table like it was a stripper pole. He was the best dancer of the group and he gyrated his hips playfully towards the pacifier, causing the woman to giggle as she watched him perform for her. Two other tiny men stood looking a bit sullen in the center of the table.

There was some cheerful banter from the women at the table as they observed their tiny dancers. Apparently, the group of half dozen men were all friends of the fiancé.

“You guys”, said the woman of honor as she looked around at her friends. Her reaction was a mixture of both embarrassment and merry wonderment at what her friends were gifting her. She was clearly touched. She then recognized the shrinky dancing in front of her. “Wade? Oh my gosh”, she exclaimed in happy surprise. When he smiled up at her and struck a pose, she laughed and reached down to pluck him from the table, “Come here you.” Wrapping her fingers around his body firmly, she brought him closer to her face to inspect him. She could feel his excitement poking against her middle finger and felt him shudder in her grasp. Shaking her head giddily, she exclaimed, “I can’t believe it.”

Jael’s voice could then be heard, “Would you mind if we film your event? It’s for a special news report about the restaurant.”

One woman, the apparent organizer of the event, readily agreed, then said excitedly, “Wow maybe we’ll be on TV!” The woman then picked up the tiny man in front of her and slid him into her mouth.

The tiny man was clearly surprised by the action, but seemed to be enjoying himself as the woman took in ever more of his body with each thrust. He was saying something to her, but his voice was too small for the microphone to pick up.

The woman slurped his whole body in and proceeded to swallow him. Afterward, she exhaled in pleasure, then chuckled as she said, as if talking to the shrinky she’d just eaten, “was that deep enough for you, Harvey?”

As the other tinies looked stunned, the woman exclaimed, “It would be totes cool to turn on the TV when we get home and see ourselves.” She continued talking to the other women as if she didn’t just eat their friend. Hardly looking, she reached down and picked one of the men in the table center up.

“What the Hell!” one of the little men yelled. His voice sounded high-pitched and was barely picked up by the microphone, probably because he and the woman he had been dancing in front of were the closest to it.

This seemed to cause a panic amongst the other tinies and they began to run away from their would-be giantess devourers. The woman picked up the yelling man and started slowly licking his body.

“Maybe we can call the other Jessica and ask her to record it!” the woman said as the tiny man continued to scream in her hand, though his little voice was somewhat muffled by her hand.

“Nah, I don’t want her to know that the party was today,” said the bride-to-be, “I sort of hate her right now”, who had grabbed the tiny man in front of her and was gesturing with him as she talked as if she had forgotten she’d picked him up.

Steve’s voice could then be heard, “What are you doing?!”

“Uh, having a bachelorette party?” said the woman who had been licking the tiny man. Then she sucked the tiny into her mouth and swallowed. “What of it?”

“That man was screaming for his life! How could you…how could you do that?!” said Steve. He was hysterical.

The organizer, who had been sucking on the man she had picked up, paused, rolling her eyes in annoyance at Steve’s outburst, and called for a waitress to come over.

The camera moved up to cover Steve before panning back down to the woman. When it had panned back down to her, she had evidently swallowed the tiny man as it was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, another woman was playing with her tiny, dangling him over her mouth before sucking him in and bringing him back out again, treating him as if he were a lollipop. She had removed his shorts and brought his tiny cock up to her lips, “Hey Jessica, better hope Roger is bigger than this.”

  (Stephanie with tiny Scott)

“Best to get some practice then, huh?”, the woman, evidently named Jessica, said as she began to mimic the other woman’s actions with her own tiny.

The other woman said, “Betcha when Scott said he wanted me to deepthroat him, this wasn’t what he meant”, sucking the tiny fully into her mouth and this time swallowing him. Apparently, the tiny she had just swallowed was named Scott and he’d had a crush on her.

The waitress then showed up with a bouncer and physically escorted a protesting Steve away. Meanwhile, Jael kept filming the episode.

“Wha wsh hish probwem?” Jessica asked. She had slurped her tiny (Wade) into her mouth and it was evident in her speech as she talked around it.

“Don’t talk with your mouth full Jess,” said the woman who had teased her earlier.

“Sawwy,” Jessica said and swallowed. Her face beamed with pleasure as the squirming lump that had been Wade made it’s way down her neck. “Mmmm. Thanks again Tally. I couldn’t ask for a better present! Wow, Wade never lasted that long in my mouth before”, she said, reflecting on the tiny man she’d just swallowed. “I think Roger’s bachelor party’s going to be kind of empty though”, prompting all the girls to laugh.

“Jess, it’s your party, you get the last one,” Tally said pointing to the last tiny in the middle of the table, who was cowering in fear.

“Yay me!” Jessica said as she grabbed the last tiny screaming form from the table and popped him into her mouth. She suckled him briefly before swallowing him. Then talk about the upcoming wedding started.

Jael didn’t immediately leave, continuing to film and catch a little of the conversation.

A pretty brown-haired woman in her mid-20s from the table next to the party then stopped over to talk to the organizer, Tally. “My name’s Vicki. I love your idea for a bachelorette party. Pardon me, but I overheard you all talking and I understand the guys you just ate were friends of the fiancé?”

Tally nodded, “Mmmhmm”.

“Wow, I’m just curious - how on earth did you convince those guys to volunteer?”, Vicki asked.

Tally replied, “That was easy. Those guys were always so mischievous. Roger’s friends were a horny and rowdy bunch, always getting Roger into trouble. They all loved the idea of getting shrunk down and jumping out of the cake nearly naked. They all had a thing for Jessica. In fact, the first tiny she ate, Wade, had even dated her for a couple years before she met Roger, her fiancé.”

“Yeah, but agreeing to be swallowed is a pretty big commitment”, Vicki said.

“Oh that – yeah, I didn’t really tell them about the getting eaten part”, Tally said, giggling.

“But…didn’t they have to sign the legal waiver in order to be shrunk?”, Vicki inquired.

“Of course”, Tally replied, “and I told them they needed to sign the waiver to cover the liability of the restaurant in the shrinking process.”

Vicki gave her a look of disbelief.

Tally shrugged her shoulders sheepishly, “What?! It wasn’t a lie – just not the whole truth”, she paused giggling, adding “besides, Jessica thought they were all a bunch of troublemakers and might divert Roger’s attention from her. This was a good way to nip that problem in the bud, so to speak.”

Vicki looked thoughtful. “True”, she admitted, adding “and it gives me an idea.” She was aware that her cute stepson had begun frequenting the Dish.

At this point, Vicki returned to her table and the party resumed talking about the wedding.

The camera feed ended.

>>>

While Allie was unable to hear the tiny men scream, other than the objections from the tiny named Wade who was eaten by Jessica, she could see that their reactions were pure terror. She was mortified to realize that instead of repulsing her, it excited her to watch the women eat the struggling men! The women in the video seemed to be just as excited about their snacks becoming unwilling. They were even becoming more playful and sensual as they ate their tiny victims.

Allie realized that her breathing had become heavier. She raised her hands to her face and felt excess heat in her cheeks as she blushed. She looked at Jael to see if she noticed, but she was reading a copy of the contract Kent had signed.

“Apparently, once they sign the contract there is no going back”, Jael said, “Even if they change their minds, they are still owned by the restaurant, but any of them that read the contract would know that.”

“Huh..”, Allie said.

“That’s it? Huh? What’s wrong?” Jael asked Allie. Allie was just staring at the screen.

“Nothing just thinking.”

After collecting what usable footage they could find the two went and found a motel for the night.
