Shrinky Maze Runner Surprise: A Fellow Traveler

Tommy Joseph had decided to make another visit to the Dish. He had been to Forbidden Dish on a few occasions, but had chosen to stay away from it since the recent disappearances of his friends Connor and Kenny. Before that, he had witnessed his friend Aiden get shrunk and eaten by that beautiful waitress Lindsay while riding the Virtual Vore. This was supposed to be a ride that simulated getting eaten, not resulted in getting eaten. He had later found out that, to introduce the thrill of a slight danger element, there was a .5% chance of the ride randomly shrinking the participant down and Aiden had unfortunately had poor luck that night. That had occurred nearly a year and a half ago and Tommy felt the need to exercise his demons.

He had been greeted politely at the door by the hostess Rachael and declined the offer to take a red bracelet. She had asked him if he was interested in joining a game of Shrinky Maze Runner that was scheduled to be played soon. He told her he wasn’t aware of what that was. When she offered to have a server give him a tour, he was quick to accept. Rachael hadn’t recognized him as a prior customer and he was only too happy to play the part of a newbie.

Soon, a very pretty dark-skinned black female wearing a side pony hairstyle and decked out in a flowing white silky dress, with seams slit at the upper thigh level, displaying her gorgeous toned legs, approached him with a professional and appealing smile.

The young woman introduced herself, “Hi, I’m Coco, and you are…”, she gestured to him.

“Tommy.”

“Tommy, very nice to meet you. I’ll assume this is your first time to the Dish?”

“Yes”, he lied.

“Very good. Let me show you around. Did you know we have three levels with all different types of activities on each?”

She proceeded to give him a guided tour of the Dish. They began with the restaurant level, where she took him through the lounge area and on the perimeter of the restaurant proper. He observed a large group of people in the center, where several tables had been pushed together to accommodate. It looked to be some type of work group gathering, with perhaps forty men and women, of various ages and shapes eating and mingling gaily.

“Some of that large party over there are having a game of Shrinky Maze Runner later. I’ll show you what that is when we get to the third floor”, Coco told him.

They took the stairs up to the second level and Tommy took a couple peeks to admire the size and strength of Coco’s glutes as she took the steps above him. It was an enticing view.

“Over to our right is the hallway leading to the shrink booths and the private dining rooms”, she said.

“There are dining rooms up here”, Tommy said, acting the part.

“Yes, so after a person is shrunk down, they can be taken into one of the private rooms and his or her partner can enjoy consuming them in privacy and in their own time and manner. There is furniture in each room to enhance the ambiance and pleasure.”

Tom had heard about the private rooms, but had never been to one or even near the shrink booths. A shudder ran through his body. “I see”, he said.

Coco turned and led him further. “Up ahead is what we call the ‘stomach’ of the Virtual Vore ride. This is where those that ride it end up and there’s the chute, or ‘throat’, up there from where they are discharged from”, she said, pointing to an angled tubular enclosement that led to the flattened trampoline-like ‘stomach’ area. “I’ll show you where the ride starts when we get up to the next level.”

She guided him through the empty dance club area and pointed to the two large bars. Tommy noticed that a few servers seemed to be enjoying their break at one of them.

They retreated back to the stairwell and Coco led him to the third level. She first showed him the Virtual Vore ride, the huge female animatronic face that was the beginning of the ride, with the pre-rinse shower area just to it’s left. Tommy pretended interest – he had already taken the ride, though it seemed ages ago. He knew it was about a four minute ride which had tickled every bit of his body before squeezing him into the ‘throat’ and discharging him to the slimy bouncy ‘stomach’ on the floor below. He remembered it as quite a pleasurable experience and he was considering taking another ride after his tour.

Coco took him past an enclosed area, the enclosure only coming up to about three feet in height as it surrounded some type of transparent maze-like structures within. “I’ll show you this last”, she told him as she escorted him over to the large swimming pool and it’s surrounding area.

“This pool is where a lot of hedonistic folks tend to drift towards, predators mingling and trying to meet up with their desired prey. Clothing is optional, of course. We only ask that people entering the pool or whirlpool take a pre-shower rinse in one of the stalls over there”, she said, pointing to a group of shower booths. “We also have a spa and small fitness area over to the side there, though that is for the benefit of employees. Finally, later in the year, there are tentative plans in place to add a small fourth floor. The owner envisions building a facility to play ShrinkBall and Vore Tag, to mimic the popular games Dodgeball and Laser Tag, with the obvious notion that losing players get shrunk when they are struck with the ball or laser.”

“Wow, this is great Coco. I really appreciate your showing me around”, said Tommy, and he meant it.

“Your welcome honey. So, now that I’ve given you a tour of our facilities, can I ask what brings you here today? Do you have fantasies about getting shrunken down, perhaps you have a vore fetish…?”

“No, I’m not really into vore actually. I had some friends who were, but it’s really not my thing. I’m just fascinated by the technology”, he replied sincerely.

“You don’t think it would be fun or erotic to be able to be in the hands of a gorgeous giant woman or explore her body?”, Coco asked, arching an eyebrow.

“It’s definitely a thrilling thought”, he remarked, ”and it’s why I came to, er, check out the place, but no…not for me. I don’t envision being the ‘food’ of a goddess”, he put up air quotes around the word, “no matter how good-looking she is.”

Coco thought silently for a couple moments as he looked at her expectantly. “Hmmm. What if it could be made safe, so that you’d be resized afterward. Does that sound like something you’d like to try?”

“Well…yeah…sure”, he stammered, “that, uh, would be fun, but…um, I didn’t think that was possible. I think I’d heard somewhere that all shrinkings are permanent.”

Coco laughed lightly. “Yes, that was how things used to be. But Meghyn, our boss, has decided to branch out a bit. We now have competitions, such as our weekly swimming challenge, where persons get shrunk down and compete. Winners get resized. The same with our Shrinky Maze Runner game here”, she said, gesturing towards the arena. She led him back a few paces towards it.

Tommy was intrigued as he looked upon the arena with it’s transparent walls and buildings. He listened to Coco describe the game and how it worked. On the wall opposite the arena was a large monitor where images rotated through, showing women giddily chasing after tiny men, sometimes zooming into tiny men performing an athletic move and reaching a safe haven spot triumphantly, sometimes a giant woman snatching up a tiny man and popping him into her mouth. There seemed to be about twenty distinct images that were set on a loop. Both the giant women and tiny men seemed exuberant in their efforts. Clearly, the imagery was meant to convey that all participants enjoyed themselves immensely.

Tommy knew that couldn’t be the whole story though – he knew what happened to the tiny men once they had been swallowed. Still, having been a soccer player all through high school, (though he had never achieved Aiden’s level of accomplishments) he had been a good athlete in his own right. He asked many questions. When Coco had finished, she told him that if he’d like to try it, there was a ‘safe’ game that was soon to begin. Needless to say, his interest was piqued.
