This choice: telling Hope the truth about your stash of serum • Go Back...Chapter #9The Truth Shall Set You Free...Under Alex's Foot by: Alina   “Well?” Hope said, tilting her head as she waited for the tiny man in her grasp to respond. The little thing looked deeply conflicted as Hope began to lose patience with him.
“I-I really shouldn’t say…” he replied meekly as Hope dropped the nice-act.
“Look, I found you under Alex’s foot and I will be more than happy to put you back there if you’re going to be unhelpful like this,” Hope warned, her tone growing more severe with each passing word.
“The bathroom! The stuff I have left is above the doorway in the bathroom!” he chirped, terrified of what a mad, giant Hope would do to him.
“See was that so hard?” Hope said smiling as she dangled the little man in front of her face for a few more seconds. Slowly, Hope’s smile grew bigger as she began to lower the shrunken one back towards the ground! He thought Hope was just going to put him in her lap or something… until he suddenly found he was passing Hope’s knees. Looking up at her, the shrunken man nearly pissed himself as he saw Hope now smiling down at him almost manically. He began trying to get free, but Hope’s fingers held onto him too tightly…he was trapped. As he continued to wriggle between her fingers, the tiny man kept trying to figure out what had gone wrong!
“I told you what you wanted, didn’t I?” he shouted.
“I can’t hear you down there dude, just hold still,” Hope said as she lightly flicked him in the forehead, making him go limp as he was briefly knocked out. The giant goalie giggled as she put him back where she found him…at Alex’s feet. Hope couldn’t stop smiling as she pushed him gently under Alex’s flip-flop. She watched in anticipation, wondering if he would wake up before Alex crushed him…. It was her own personal game show at the moment…and the contestant was just getting ready.
The little man woke up with a splitting headache as he once again found himself in darkness. Trying to stand up, he smacked his head into something soft above him. Looking up, he saw a flat sloping ceiling towered over him. The slight grooves in the roof held what looked like suspended boulders and clumps of earth. Bright shafts of sunlight seeping in from the cracks in the side made his eyes sting as his throbbing head seemed to be trying to work something out. This place was oddly familiar, but he couldn’t place why…actually, he couldn’t remember the last few minutes either if he was being honest. Rubbing his head, the little man didn’t notice that for the last few minutes the ceiling above him was slowly lowering! Getting up, he tried to crouch, but found that there was still no space to move. Crawling on his stomach then, the tiny man began to make his way to the side of this odd cave. As he kept crawling, the little man finally noticed his misfortune…the room was becoming smaller and smaller by the second. Frantic now, he began crawling as quickly as he could to the entrance! Breaching the open air, he tried to make the final pull…
CRACK!
He let out a shrill scream as his leg broke under the weight of the still-falling ceiling. Looking around, he finally remembered where he was…on the floor of a bus. His eyes shot up as he saw he was being slowly crushed under Alex’s foot!
“Oh, you almost made it too,” Hope mused from above as his eyes darted to her. He stared at her speechless until another surge of pain went through him!
CRUNCH!
His leg was gone; he was screaming bloody-murder as he looked to see his entire lower-body was pinned under Alex’s advancing foot! A warm pool of crimson began to form under him as he desperately struggled to get out…but to no avail.
CRACK!
“Fuck!” he screamed as he began to get dizzy and fell face-first down. Looking up, he could only see Hope waving goodbye to him as she smiled cruelly (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5zlu1...).
SQUISH!
Hope watched as Alex’s foot cleanly bisected him. The tiny top-half laid bare on the bus floor, twitching as it tried to pathetically crawl away. It made it about half an inch before Alex’s foot moved once again…engulfing the little man completely. As the foot came down, Hope giggled as she saw a small spurt of crimson spray out, painting the side of Alex’s foot as she finally rested her weight down on it (http://pics.wikifeet.com/Alexandra-Morga...).
As the bus came to a halt and the players began to file out, Hope slipped into the bathroom and found the shrinking serum the tiny man had told her about. Slipping the vials into her bag, Hope smiled as she got off the bus. Turning a vial of it over in her hands, she wondered who she could use it on…until she spotted exactly what she wanted. A perfect guinea pig appeared before her; a lone player from the other team, who was slipping into the women’s bathroom. Hope looked to be sure no one was following her as she slipped into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Just as Hope walked in, the other girl exited the stall. She froze as Hope suddenly lurched at her, pressing her against the wall. Popping the stopper off the vial, Hope shoved it into the struggling girls mouth and watched the liquid drain.
BAM!
Hope suddenly fell right into the stall door as nothing but air stood between it and her. Looking down in excitement, Hope began laughing as she saw a tiny speck moving around by her feet. Lifting her cleat up, Hope slammed it down on the dot…only to see it still running away from her! She stomped a few more times and checked the bottom of her cleats to find no splatters (http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/the91stmi...).
“You’re too tiny to crush in cleats…how unlucky for you,” Hope said as she found the speck on the floor and reached for it happily. Plucking it up, she made her way out of the bathroom and was on her way to the locker-rooms when she saw members of the other team unpacking their things from the bus. Hope smiled broadly as she saw two water-coolers getting filled by an unattended hose on the side. Slipping over to them, Hope looked down at her “little friend” and smiled as she dropped another few vials of serum into the water!
“Hey! Get away from there,” someone on the team shouted as Hope quickly dashed away to her own teams locker-room. She now couldn’t wait for the start of the game!
