You stay here, you're done. Who knows when you'd get another chance? So, as Grace turns her prodigious back to you, and swan dive from the shelf toward her, an insect drifting down toward a living god.
Slamming into her thick sporting jersey, you hope she didn't feel the impact. You sure did, and as your fingers sink into the gaps between the fibres, you wheeze at the bruises you've surely generated. Silly you, as your inch-tall form does not even register through the thick clothing. Unaware, Grace dashes down the stairs, in a hurry to get the packing done so she can return to her pet boyfriend!
That very pet is clinging tight as the cliff he climbs rapidly pounds along, a regular lashing of long, blonde hairs - strong as steel cable - from above. You begin scaling, aiming for the shoulder, where you'll at least be able to see your surroundings, see your next opportunity, perhaps even a glimpse of -
"Olivia!" your host sighs, just as you crest the peak, gazing out at the form of Grace's older sister as she wipes her forehead with the back of her hand.
As many years older than you as you are than Grace, Olivia always intimidated you with her athletic beauty and quick intelligence, and now that's she's magnified dozens of times over, something closer to fear rises in your heart.
You admire her from afar, as you have done for years. Yes, while you may criticise Grace for what she's done to you, you have to be honest: had you, at her age, found a shrunken Olivia in your bedroom then that girl would still be living as your pet to this day, living inside your wank sock. With that realisation, you come to terms with the fact that you're as bad as Grace. Is that why you're being punished like this?
Olivia is dressed in blue overalls, her hair tied back by a red headscarf. She applies her insurmountable strength to lifting a box filled with kitchen utensils, imploring her sister to pick up the other one on the table. As Grace stoops to comply, you take your chance, leaping off the younger to transfer to the older, someone that may well agree to help you!
