Lexi’s sweaty toes clenched around you tightly. Your lungs felt like they were gonna burst as the dynamic digits dutifully dragged you down in their vice-like grip. You struggled wildly to free yourself from the strangle-hold Lexi had on your body. A sharp squeeze crushed what little resistance you were putting up like a sandcastle. Laying your head down on the soft surface of Lexia’s toe, you found that these monoliths you were so terrified of had a softer side to them too. But another sharp squeeze pulled you out of the misconception of comfort you had lingering in your head. Once again, you started struggling like… well a bug underfoot. As your arms flailed uselessly against your sides, you began to feel the ground around you shift.

“What the hell is in my shoe?” Lexi asked herself as she slid her slender foot from her slipper and plopped it onto the table-top. Inspecting her toes carefully, she at first had trouble seeing anything at all between her toes.

As Lexi’s dark eyes looked down at you, you were frozen solid. Her captivating stare made you feel full of warmth, but at the same time worthless as her huge eye passed over you many times, not taking noticed of your presence. You needed to act before Lexi put you back in her sandal, for what could very well be your final time. Kneeling down on the soft, sultry skin of Lexi’s foot, you began licking like your life depended on it. This trick had worked to get attention before, you figured, and it should work now!

Lexi began giggling as she once again felt a slight tickling between her toes. Her eyes shot to the spot and refused to let it go. As her eyes focused in, she began to notice something moving within the mess of lint she had casually scanned over before. Gingerly, she knocked the lint aside with her finger to reveal something she never thought she would see, a tiny man! She couldn’t help herself as her fingers wrapped around the small body and lifted it up to her eye. For a few minutes, she just sat and watched as the tiny person struggled in her grip. She tightened ever so slightly, taking in his increasing struggles with her increasing pressure.

“What are you?” Lexi said under her breath. To you though, it was like someone had turned the speakers in a concert up as loud as they could go, and you were right next to them. Your arms stopped hitting Lexi’s fingers and slapped over your ears, trying to save them as much as you could.

Lexi took note of the little guy’s reaction and jolted back from him.

“Sorry!” her voice boomed again. As you covered your ears more, the giantess began to take a new sort of interest in you. You rolled into her palm as she let her hand uncurl.

“Where did you come from little one?” Lexi asked as she stared down at you curiously, trying hard not to lose your tiny form in the vastness of her palm.

You looked up at Lexi and tried your best to give an answer to her liking. But as you went on about the accidental shrinking, and about Nyssa’s cruelty, you noticed a concerned look growing on Lexi’s face. For a moment you thought she would help you, but the concern wasn’t for you.

“Speak up shorty! I can’t hear you!” Lexi said annoyed as she waited for your answer once again.

Panicked, you began to recite your answer, but the growing look of consternation on Lexi’s face made your words dry up like a river in drought.

“Listen you little bug! Stop playing with me or else I’ll make you wish you had been squished in my slipper!” Lexi shouted. Normally she’d never be so mean, but she couldn’t be sure of her “guest’s” intentions without hearing an answer. If she got none, she could only assume it was another rotten paparazzi looking for an interesting story or an embarrassing fact for some third-rate tabloid.

Your voice was killing you now as you shouted at the top of your lungs to Lexi. But a cold stare washed over the rock-star’s eyes as your answers failed to reach her ears for the last time. Her fingers snapped shut on you like a mouse-trap. Your world shook as Lexi brought her clentched fist up to her face to deliver on her threat.
“Ok little one. Since you won’t answer I guess I can’t be nice to you like I wanted to be. Too bad, cause now you’re going...."
