Linda stretched her limbs as she slowly opened her eyes. “Ahh. That was a pleasant nap.” She shivered and pulled herself into a tighter ball. “What a horrible dream. I thought I was growing further and further out of control.”
She blinked as she realized in her hand was someone’s house. “Holy crap.” She quickly sat up and threw the home to the side. “I am sorry.” Linda winced as she heard the sound of crushing concrete as she slammed her hands down behind her. “Please don’t tell me.” She looked behind her to see she had just slammed her hands down on some kind of two-story structure.
“Damnit all.” She shook her head. “How could I let myself doze off?” Linda looked down. “It looks like I even grew on top of some buildings.” She blew her hair to the side. “This is just a swell way to wake up in the morning. This is why I need my medication.” She made her way to her feet. “Otherwise, I just get too big for my own good.”
She dusted the debris off her body. “Now then. If I remember right, the pharmacist yesterday said I should try and get to the distribution center on the other side of the state.” She turned her head. “But at this size, I can’t tell which way is which. I am too high up to see a landmark.” Her stomach groaned. “Besides, I haven’t eaten in almost sixteen hours. I am working up an enormous appetite.”
She raised one massive leg and stepped on a grove of trees. “Where am I going to find something to eat, though?” Linda sighed. “And while I am on that thought, where am I going to find something to cover my body? I can’t walk around at this size completely exposed.” She shivered as a gust of wind washed over her. “It is freezing being this tall.”
She could feel her body grow, but now the change in size wasn’t that noticeable. “Well, at least it slowed down.” She crossed her arms. “Or I am so big that a few extra feet is nothing to me now. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.” She carefully walked further into the wilderness. “All I know is it will take me months to work off this size.”
