Kayla writhed in the gigantic hand as she stared at the woman before her.
“What kind of a doll are you?” inquired the Giantess as she reached forward, poking Kayla with a long finger.
“Ow!” Kayla said as the nail touched her shoulder. “I’m not a doll! Careful!”
The woman’s mouth dropped open.
“Holy...you’re a real person!”
Kayla nodded, happy to finally be getting somewhere.
“Yes! Please, we need your help! My friends and I were just resting on the beach and then...well...this happened! Somehow we shrunk and we don’t know how.”
“I see,” Karen said as she continued to examine Kayla. There was something in the Giantess’s eyes that unnerved Kayla, but she tried to ignore it: maybe it was just her own stress and paranoia from the overall situation.
“And how many other shrunken people are there besides you?”
“Well,” Kayla said, counting on her fingers, “There’s my friends Lily, Trisha and Sam. So, four of us in total. As a matter of fact, the other three are playing with your daughter right now.”
“Natalie?” Karen said. For the first time, she looked over to where her five year old daughter was, spotting the castle that the little girl was building. She saw a few little figures moving about. Karen stood, causing Kayla to gasp as she was lifted impossibly high into the air, trying her best to not look down as the gigantic mom moved toward her daughter. She peered down at the castle, her body casting a shadow over the sandy structure as the other three friends looked up, their eyes going wide.
“Holy cow,” Trisha said as she saw Karen towering over them. She had already felt small next to Natalie, but now with a full grown woman thrown into the mix, she finally realized exactly how tiny she was.
“So, these are your friends?” Karen asked, gesturing toward the three, tiny, bikini-clad girls.
Kayla nodded her head. “Yea...we all shrunk. Can you please help us?”
Karen thought for a moment. “Only the four of you shrunk?” She asked after a few moments.
“Well...our car shrunk too, I’m told. We parked over there, near our towels.” She pointed the best she could.
“I see,” Karen said. She smiled down at her daughter. “Are you having fun, Natalie?” she said in a soft coo. The little girl nodded her head with a smile.
“Good...mommy has to go take care of something. Be nice to the little dollies while I’m away!”
Lily raised an eyebrow. “D-doll? Hey wait,” she started to say but Karen was already walking away. The woman grabbed her beach bag and headed in the general direction that Kayla had indicated. It wasn’t far at all before Karen stopped, examining something in the sand.
“Oh my gosh,” she said, crouching down and placing Kayla on the ground. Kayla spotted their jeep sitting in the sand. She ran toward the vehicle, fighting the cognitive dissonance in her head of seeing Karen's giant face next to a car that, for all intents and purposes, looked normal sized to her.
“Yes, that’s it! It’s how we got here,” she squeaked up at the titanic woman.
“I see,” Karen said. The next moment she reached down, grasping the vehicle with her gigantic hands and lifting it into the air. Kayla gasped as she watched the Giantess place the car into her beach bag, the huge bag easily able to fit the entire vehicle.
“Uh...o-okay,” Kayla said, beginning to feel a little nervous. “So...so we can take it to the police, right?”
Karen smiled. “Of course,” she said with a wide smile. She took Kayla back into her hand, the tiny woman squeaking with surprise as the gigantic fingers wrapped around her body again as the Giantess carried both the miniature woman and the bag with the small vehicle back to her place on the beach. Kayla glanced over at the castle, spotting Samantha spitting out sand as Natalie dropped a handful on her head.
“S-so...can you call for help now?”
Karen smiled. “Certainly,” she said as she sat down, placing Kayla beside her. For the first time, the tiny woman breathed with relief as the Giantess took her phone out of her purse.
“While I’m making the call,” Karen said, shifting her weight and extending her legs, “Do you think you could do something for me?”
Kayla blinked. “Um...sure. What would that be?”
Karen stretched, her toes wiggling in the air as she ran her hands down her enormously long legs.
“It’s been a hard day and my feet are a little sore. I’m wondering if, while I’m on the phone with the police explaining...would you be a dear and just give them a little massage for me?”
Kayla’s jaw dropped. “A massage? No! I’m not going to touch your feet!”
Karen frowned. “Aww...that’s too bad. I just thought that since I’m helping to save your lives and all...maybe the least you could do is just show me a little kindness in return….” She held the phone in her hand, threatening to put it away as she looked at the tiny woman. Kayla felt a lump forming in her throat as she began to realize that, at her tiny size, she had far less bargaining power than she was generally used to.
“Just...just a little rub?” she said, swallowing the lump in her throat.
“Just a little one...while I make the call,” Karen said, smiling down at the tiny woman.
Kayla took a deep breath before nodding. She stared down the length of Karen’s legs as she slowly made her way toward her enormous feet. Kayla stood next to the Giantess’s left foot, the woman’s toes eye level as she realized she was just about as tall. She felt her cheeks flushing as she realized that she was small enough for this woman to cover her entire body with nothing more than her foot. Turning, she glanced back at Karen, who was holding her phone in the air. Sighing, she turned and stared at the massive soles, the soft surfaces dusty from the woman’s beach walking. She reached out and placed her hands on the graveley surface. Karen’s toes twitched ever so slightly as Kayla touched her.
“Oh...good...press a little harder, will you?”
Kayla scrunched her nose up and leaned in, feeling the Giantess’s huge ligaments as she pressed harder.
“Good girl,” Karen said with a smile as she opened her phone and dialed a number. Closing the app, she placed the phone to her ear, pretending she was making a call.
“Non-emergency,” she said as she watched Kayla going about her work. The tiny woman was doing what she asked, if a bit reluctantly. This pleased Karen greatly and her mind wandered to other thoughts as she continued her fake call.
“Hmm...oh, that feels nice,” she said, looking down at the tiny woman. “Do you think you could rub my toes a little too?”
Kayla looked at the huge digits that hung in her face. She bit her lip and reached up, gently squeezing the soft pads. Karen murmured happily.
“Non-emergency,” she said slower, shaking her head. “Stupid automatic systems," she said covering for her deception as she continued to watch Kayla work. Her eyes glanced over to the other three shrunken women. Natalie was giggling as she played with them, the women being relatively good sports about their predicament as they cautiously kept their eyes on the giant five year old. That smile on Natalie’s face was just so precious….
“Kayla was it?” she said in the direction of the tiny woman at her feet. Kayla’s tiny head popped out from behind her soles.
"Do you think you could give my toes a little kiss?” she said, smiling sweetly. Kayla’s eyes went wide.
“What?” the tiny woman said, scrunching up her nose as she stared at the huge, dirty, dusty soles in front of her. “Are you serious?”
Karen smiled again. “Just a little favor...a tiny little kiss.”
Kayla shook her head. “No...no sorry.”
“Aww...please?” Karen said, staring down.
This time, Kayla felt her temper flare up.
“No!” she snapped. “I’m not putting my mouth anywhere near your dirty-ass feet! I did what you asked, but I’m done. Now, are you going to help us or not?!”
Karen looked at the tiny woman. She was so close to perfection, but the Giantess wasn’t too concerned with her disagreeing to perform this latest request. In time, she knew she could be trained.
Karen turned off her phone screen.
“You know...it occurs to me...what will the police think if I try to tell them that four young women have been shrunk at the beach? They’ll think it’s a prank.”
All the friends were watching Karen now as the words came out of her mouth. Kayla gulped.
“O-okay...so...what do you propose?” she said, still standing down by the woman’s gigantic feet.
“I’m going to take you to the police station directly. They’ll have to believe me then,” she said with a smile.
Kayla exhaled deeply.
“Okay,” she said.
“Perfect,” Karen replies. She stood and began tidying up the towel.
“Natalie! Grab your toys! All of them.”
“Dollies?” Natalie said, looking up at her mom with pleading eyes. Karen smiled.
“Yes, bring the dollies.”
“Yay!” squealed the excited girl. The three friends who had been tasked with entertaining the gigantic child for the past half hour squeaked and screamed as they were picked up one by one and dropped back into the orange bucket along with a plastic trowel and shovel. The bucked raised up and they rolled around in the bottom as the world moved around them. Karen gathered up the towels and her bag before reaching down and scooping up Kayla again.
“W-wait,” the tiny woman said. “What about our things?”
“Don’t worry, I'll grab them in a moment.”
Kayla nodded. "Okay...then straight to the police, right?"
Karen smiled. “Of course,” she said moments before slipping Kayla into her purse. The tiny girl landed in the cloth object, surrounded by Karen’s essentials as she saw the sky moving above her. Karen and Natalie walked to their car, loading their things. Karen walked back to where the girls had left their items, gathering up their towels and bags and loading them into her vehicle as well. Shutting the back, she took a moment to strap Natalie into her carseat.
“Dollie?” Natalie asked.
“No no,” Karen said, “Not in the car. You have to wait.”
Natalie pouted as Karen patted her head. The woman then strapped herself into the driver’s seat. She activated the onboard GPS and touched “Go To Home.”
