Next chapter of my Sizeran story currently in early access on my Patreon.  It will come to DA on Dec 15th.

             Alicila floated in the water as the sun slowly dipped into the sky.  “Are you sure you don’t want to shrink down and join me?”

             Cassandra sat on the beach and watched Alicila. “I am sure.” She tapped her fingers on the sand.  “I am not getting that small.  I don’t know how you handle it, Alicila.”

             Alicila laughed as she splashed around in the water. “Oh, come now.  We have an entire range of sizes we can be Cass.” Alicia dove under the water, smiling as she felt the cool liquid against her skin.  Moments later, she emerged and looked up at her giant friend.  “We all don’t have to be gigantic all the time.”

             Cassandra crossed her arms.  “I just. . . it is just weird.” She sighed.  “I guess it’s a good thing you are doing this out here where no one can see you as who knows. Someone could have stepped on you or something.  You are just so damn small.”

             “I am only about ten feet tall.”

             Cassandra threw her arms out to the side. “Exactly!  Who in their right mind wants to be that big?  It just. . .” She ran her hands through her hair.  “It just makes my skin crawl.” Her eyes widened as she saw Alicila’s face.  “I didn’t mean it like that.  You are wonderful being the size you are.”

             Alicila spun around.  “I know everyone is sick of me not wanting to be a nice and regular size.” Alicila narrowed her eyes.  “Well, I am getting sick of everyone telling me what height I should be.  I should be able to pick and choose.  Who told us what height Sizeran’s should be at anyways?”

             “It is just umm. . .” Cassandra sighed.  “I don’t know.  I guess safer?  Like I said, someone could step on you.”

             Alicila slammed her hand against the water.  “I can be careful.  And, well, everyone else should be able to handle themselves as well. Hughh.” She looked at her reflection in the water.  “I just wish everyone else could see the beauty that I see for being all of the different sizes we can be.  It is just amazing.  To see the world through many different viewpoints.” She took a deep breath and listened to the calm ocean around her. After a few moments, she turned around and looked up at Cassandra.  “Umm, hey. Are you ok?  I didn’t think what I said would have that big of an impact. Cassandra?” Alicila narrowed her eyes as she noticed her friend was staring at something in the distance.
