This choice: In time, you are flung off within the house • Go Back...
Chapter #24
Homestretch to Housebound
by: Unknown
You perch your little bug-sized self on top of her shoulder as she continues loading box after box from the house to truck with her sister. It was oddly calming and exhilarating at the same time. Calming as in you were laying on your back still catching your breath, and it felt like the sensation you get when you cuddle with a romantic partner but amplified. Her body warmth was seeping through the threads of her shirt and enveloping your body in its embrace. However, though it appeared most of the smaller boxes were already loaded because Olivia was no longer bending as far over as she did with the utensils, but she would still do it to pick up other larger boxes, and that would slant your world down from 45 degrees to almost 90 degrees at some points! You would have to press your back against the floor as hard as you could while tightening your grip on the shirt with so much pressure your knuckles went pitch white.
Eventually, after about fifteen minutes of this, Olivia, Grace, and a few friends who had joined them during that time, had decided to take a break. Olivia brought them all inside and made her way to the kitchen, where she opened the fridge and pulled out a platter of fruits and veggies with dip, along with a bag of chips from the cupboard. You noticed Grace had also brought a case of water bottles from the garage and in no time the others had ripped it open and began guzzling down their fill.
"Jeez," you thought. "Didn't they just get here?"
Olivia had finally started to stand still as she socialized with the others around the table where the platter was, so you took the calmness to rise to your feet and stretch out your still aching limbs. You grimace your face and squint your eyes as you do this but quickly freeze as you recognize the blurry giant form of your previous host and captor Grace standing in front of her older sister.
"Soooo... can I go back up to my room now?", she asked.
"Sure I guess. But you might as well just stay down here. We'll be back at it soon after we finish eating."
You listen to their conversation, and no one notices you. After all,at this size, they’d have to be actively looking for you to notice you. You pick up some interesting tidbits along the way. Such as Graces excuse for her eagerness to retreat back up to her room.
"Its just that... I'm having... um... cramps... yeah... and I need to go up to my room for...rest."
You snicker to yourself. Could she be a worse liar?
"Your lucky Im not mom. Look you can "rest" for a bit but I expect you to be down here before we finish alright?"
"Yeah yeah sure!", Grace says happily as she bounds up the stairs and disappears from sight.
"Uh oh. Now shes going to notice Im gone. Better make my move now.", you say to yourself.
You speed walk over towards the base of Olivia's neck and think about how your going to get her attention. Her hair was still tied back out of you immediate reach by the headscarf so that was out of the question. You would have to make your way to the back of Olivia's neck if you wanted to grab some hair but you knew if you were to mess up you would find yourself falling down to the ground. At least if you stayed around her shoulder, you had nowhere to fall except back on her shoulder.
