Chapter 12- Decisions
One Month Later
Wendy was sitting in the library with her laptop updating her diary about everything that happened on the island so far. When she was done, she looked at her backpack and other stuff on the table she took with her from home.
There were some books inside she wanted to read. But handling the now very minuscule books seem like an impossible task. She had been given special tweezers by the staff to handle these small human-sized objects.
Wendy could distinguish the different books she had with her not by the letters on the cover, but by their color palette.
She could recognize “The Hobbit” written by the son of Tolkien and picked it up with two fingers, curious how it would feel in her hands. It was small, even smaller than her thumb and index fingernail that was already clipped short.
The intern could only make out the light vanilla and dark brown colors of the cover making it look more like a small piece of candy. The letters were just unreadable scribbles.
She put it down and would use her right index finger the search further in that pile of rubble. Wendy was looking for 2 specific books she hadn’t read yet and eventually found them.
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” from Lewis Carroll and “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift. Of the first mentioned, she had seen different adaptations of in cartoons and live-action movies but was told that the original book was more interesting than any other version.
The second book was more of a mystery to her as she had never seen any movie, series, film about it and read it to the part that Gulliver was tied up on the beach by little people.
Wendy could see the irony that the fantasy subject about incredible size difference, a theme both of these books shared, were now more real than even those writers or any people outside of this Island could imagine.
She already was excited by those stories and wanted to read more.
The red-haired giantess tried to use a magnifying glass that was present on the table in the hope they would enlarge the letters big enough for her huge blue-green eyes.
It didn’t help much and using the tweezers to turn the pages of these small objects turned out to be a hell of a job.
She thought about asking for a microscope, but that wouldn’t solve the problems of turning the pages.
Then she thought of looking through a collection of books more fit for her size that were on the shelves of these huge book cupboards.
“Maybe I’m lucky and I will find a copy of at least one of these books”, Wendy said whispering to herself. There were other many interesting strange titles among these enormous rows of books, but she wasn’t going to be diverted by them and focused on her goal.
To her pleasure she found Lewis Carroll book fast, she also found Gulliver’s Travels, but that book was much thicker and a different adaptation seeing it was written by another writer.
She was a little disappointed to not find the original.
“I really wanted the version from Jonathan Swift but how much different could this version be”, Wendy said.
She walked back with the books to table satisfied she had something to read for later.
It was almost time to make a call to her parents. Outside contact was only allowed under supervision. Wendy was excited to speak to them telling them how wonderful this place was and not telling them about her little growth spurt to above 21 meters tall (almost 70 feet).

Elsewhere in habitat 16 with a population of 15 residents.
The lights were dimming above as to simulate the transition to nighttime. Most houses were dark, except for one and there seemed to be a gathering of 12 people in the garden.
A couple in its fifties were talking, Edward and Denise were talking to a couple in their twenties.
“Enjoying our little get-together? You two are the guests of honor after all”, Edward called out.
“Don’t mind Ed, he gets over-excited with these get-togethers”, Denise said politely.
The pair just looked at them and felt a little out of place, but didn’t want to ruin this as the people in this habitat were very friendly and welcoming since the day they arrived and got their own apartment in this town.
“Thank you very much, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. This feels good and little like home”, Bruce said.
“Please call me Edward or Ed and my wife is Denise”, Edward said.
They talked and Denise wanted to show Genie around the house. She was a little in a bad state when arriving there but now seemed to be calmer and more relaxed.
“Well, Bruce, what do you think of all this. Are you and the misses got used to our little paradise?”, Edward said.
“Well it is not bad for being a prisoner have none of you ever tried to escape from this place”, Bruce said.
Edward laughed a little.
“Escaped?! There you go again seeing the negative side of things. Everyone else is happy here and the giants love us and take care of us. They provide us with everything we need.”,
“Helga even told us about the blessing you and your wife will receive in a month. To come into the personal care of a caretaker selected by the great Helga is an enormous honor and privilege”, Edward said.
Bruce looked back at the man with interest as he was explaining a lot about life in the small habitat and a place called Ismaning where he was from. He noticed none of the people in the small habitat minded the giant caretakers as they called them and the houses were all beautiful with a lot of space.
Only happy faces at the party and he couldn’t spot one hint of deceit that they were pretending to be happy.
Meanwhile upstairs in a bedroom with a huge size bed, Denise was showing Genie her wardrobe with all sorts of clothing in it. Genie immediately saw that these beautiful clothing were very expensive.
“I have something special for you my dear”, Denise said.
The older woman took out some beautiful dresses and other expensive-looking clothing and showed them to Genie.
“These are for you my dear”, Denise said kindly.
“I can’t accept this, these are very beautiful”, Genie said.
“I want you to have them. I don’t wear them anymore and you can wear one of them when you meet your handler for the first time.”,

Elsewhere
Helga was walking through a large hallway. She was accompanied by Femke Jansen. A large 77-foot brunette with brown eyes.
“So, Helga, let me get this straight you want me to teach this new young superhuman how to move around in water situations and obtain successful skills in becoming a hunter?”, Femke asked
“That is indeed what I request from you. She is very talented in some key aspects. She has a little medical background too and I want her to assist us with some of our experiments too.”, Helga said.
“I have no problem with that, I just finished my project in the Japanese section and I’m curious to see this
Wendy for myself. I can’t believe a tiny could grow so fast.
“Thank you Femke, now all I have to do is convince the council of Wendy’s potential.”, Helga said wearily.
The pair arrived at a big 200-foot-tall door and ringed the doorbell. There was a scanner next to the doorbell and when it was done scanning a voice said, “Welcome, Helga and Femke, please enter.”
The huge door slowly opened and a big room with enormous tables and chairs became visible. There were many faces in there looking straight at them with great anticipation as if they were waiting for them to start the meeting, which was the case.
The door slowly closed again.
“Have a seat”, the chairwoman said. Helga and Femke did just that.
“Before we begin, we have to give our praise to Helga Braun for her work and it is with great honor that she will be promoted and assigned to lead some of our bigger projects. I have no doubt you will succeed and improve. Congratulations!
Helga looked at the cheering members, al 20 of them and looked modestly happy. Femke saw the look on Helga’s face.
“Come on, Helga, show more happiness, this is great news”, Femke whispered to her.
“Yes, of course, my apologies”, Helga said and immediately tried to look happier before her colleagues.
Femke wasn’t convinced and decided to ask about it after the meeting was over.
“On to our next subject, our new Intern with her miraculous growth”, the chairwoman said.
The chairwoman than took something out of her pocket. It was a small wax doll with red-colored hair that was made from a 3d printer. She held it up high in her clenched right fist in full view of the others.
“This was our intern a couple of weeks ago when she arrived on our shores”
While she was saying that an enormous logo from the Ydrassil OS popped up on the enormous screen that would put any Imax screen in the world to shame.
“We’ve read your report about Intern Wendy de Vries, ID number SH05201 and it seems promising.”, The chairwoman said.
“We agree for the most of it and grant her more access to certain areas and she is allowed to be a full-time handler.”, The chairwoman said.
“Also….”,
“Here it comes, Femke”, Helga whispered to her co-worker.
”It is the wish of this council that Ms. Wendy de Vries that her lessons in science, handling tinies, maintain habitats and hunting will be intensified and sped up. Because this is too much for you alone, especially with your new responsibilities for very important complex projects. To tackle this problem, we assigned different attendants to help you guide our new intern in these different facets.”
As the chairwoman was explaining the details of these arrangements, Femke now understood why Helga wasn’t completely satisfied with her promotion.
When the meeting was adjourned, the pair left the room.
“Well, the good news is that with Wendy’s new privileges and credentials she is allowed to have Bruce and Genie as companions and handle them for the remaining 5 months.”, Helga said.
“I can’t believe how fast they want her to take these courses, but I will do my best to instruct her in the ways of swimming, moving and hunting in the water.”, Femke said.
“How are Elsa and Cindy doing with their training.”
“They are doing fine, your daughter is really talented and a potential leader. She is an excellent hunter and leader and at such a young age. Cindy is a little hard to figure out. She is doing a good job, but in my personal opinion, she is being way too modest about her abilities.
“Good, then they will be able to guide Wendy through the hunt and conduct on land”, Helga said

Two weeks earlier
Somewhere in the Japanese elite section.
“Oh, yes! Yes, that feels great. Please continue”, Fumiko said.
The giantess sat on her leather couch with her legs stretched and feet on the table.
At the base of her right foot was a man 24 times smaller her doing his best to give her a foot massage.
Her feet ranked among the biggest in the entire facility with being 5.6 meters in length from bottom to the tip of her big toe. At least from the ones he’d ever seen.
Fumiko tried to turn her head in a way to get a glimpse of what the man was doing. Turning her feet, a little and saw the man pounding his fist on the underside of her foot with all his might.
This turned the good doctor on even more. She wanted the experience to be more intense and relaxing at the same time and got an idea of how to help the man to be even more effective.
“Hee, Roy, stop for a moment. I got an idea”, Dr. Kawasaki said.
Roy stopped and walked a little to the side of her huge foot to see what his gigantic mistress had planned. He saw her stood up and move toward the wooden drawer closet that was nearby her couch.
Little vibrations were felt on the surface where Sherrif Mesner stood at. The floors in giant rooms of the facility where mostly shockproof so the tremors as a giant would walk on these floors would stay at a minimum.
At closet, she opened the top drawer and put her hand in, then closed her fist and pulled something out.
It wasn’t visible to the off-duty Sherriff as he craned his neck upwards to see what she was hiding in her hand.
12 story building-sized Japanese woman just looked down at her curious lover and smiled a little deviously.
Roy saw that as he could see the huge head which was even from the relatively high plateau he was standing on, still very far away up.
Thud, thud, thud, plof. The black-haired woman returned let herself fall on the couch and bent towards Roy, her head was now very close to Roy and her right hand came even closer until it was in front of him. She opened her fist and, in her palm, he saw a police uniform plus hitting stick and a baseball stick and other melee weapons.
The 2 looked at each other in the eyes and both knew exactly what had to be done.
Dr.Kawasaki leaned back in the same position when Roy was attending so lovingly to her feet.
Roy was already undressing himself, to dress up in that uniform that Fumiko stored away just for these occasions.
“I have been bad so what is the big tough police officer going to do about it.”, Fumiko said with a sultry tone.
Roy didn’t need to hear that twice as he immediately walked around her feet and started pounding on them with the baseball bat as hard as he could. He knew just at what area of the surface to hit and in which sequence to give his black-haired Asian goddess the best foot massage to release her stress in the best way possible as he could.
She lowered her feet a little in an angle so the upper side of her foot sole was just reachable for Roy. After these muscles were also relieved, she lowered her feet further.
Roy could now reach these huge toes.
“Here is your reward, I know how you like to play with my toes, have fun”, Fumiko said with a kind face.
Roy loved her big toe the most. Some women’s big toes were barely bigger than the second toe, some had a very small nail surface area some feet had a big knuckle at the beginning of the big toe mostly due to sharp corner turn. Roy didn’t like those feet and/or toes. He was very picky and wanted perfectly symmetrical feet with symmetrical nails. Lucky for him, Fumiko qualified for these standards.
She was teasing him by lifting her toes and then lower them again. He had to jump to reach them. He took some distance and then ran toward her moving toes and jumped just in time and barely managed to cling to her big toe.
While he held on, the kissed the underside of her toe multiple times.
“Now I heard you had a request”, Fumiko said with loud echoing in her voice.

Twin Peaks, afternoon.
Samantha Parker was at home preparing dinner for her and the children. Scarlet was in the living room watching her favorite series, “Susan Murphey”. A superheroine giantess with white hair who fights all sorts of threats to humanity.
Judy was upstairs in her room with her boyfriend Jason having a heart to heart talk. Jason felt somewhat uncomfortable and reluctant to visit his girlfriend he had avoided a little the last few days. The room was big and he felt like a child in it. Judy was just as massive when he'd last seen her.
Although he knew she was growing and he himself too, or they wouldn’t live in Twin Peaks. The village made for growing people who weren’t big enough to live among full-sized giants or how they preferred to be called, superhuman.
--
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
“Scarlet, can you open the door please and see who it is.”, Sam said.
“Ok, mom.”
Scarlet stood up from the sofa and ran to the door and opened it.
“Hello, anyone there?”, Scarlet asked surprised as no one was in sight.
“Down here, little miss. I got envelope here your parents must sign before receiving it.”, Postman said.
“Mom, there is a strange little man with a letter for you at the door”, Scarlet yelled.
Samantha came at the door and seemed anxious to sign and did so.
“Great, have a nice day, Miss Parker.”, the normal-sized mailman said
“Thank you, have a good day”, Sam said as she closed the door and walked to the table.
The sheriff of Twin Peaks saw on the envelope that the letter was from Genetics Tech.
-
Upstairs Judy and Jason were making out. Jason was rough and Judy let him. She wanted to give Jason more confidence that she was the right girl for him.
Then they heard yelling from downstairs. They stopped what they were doing and stepped out of the room. They could hear it was little Scarlet being ecstatic.
“What’s going on down there”, Judy yelled.
“Good news, Judy, Roy came through for us”, Sam yelled back.
“We are going to be huge!! Yeeeh!!”, Scarlet yelled.
“You mean we…what about Jason?”, Judy asked.
“He and his family are also invited to go to the local processing center where they will be prepared to undergo improved Brobdingnag treatment.”
It was these words that made her excited for the first time. She looked at the much smaller Jason and said, “We can be the same size and move to a school where everybody is the same height”.
Jason didn’t know what to say. He certainly welcomed the idea of being the same size as Judy or bigger. This certainly would be an improvement for him and his family.
"Let's discuss this further over dinner, Mark will be joining us when his shift is over", Sam said.
