Just as the boy was about to press his foot into the carpet, the phone began to ring.
Kyle quickly ran out of the room to answer it, forgetting about the ant entirely.
You sat their in shock. Had that phone not rang....
You try to push the thought out of your mind as you begin to stand up.
"What do I do now?" You think to yourself.
Clearly, getting your brother's attention isn't an option anymore. At least while standing on the floor.
You try to remember all the things that Kyle usually does during the day.
A lightbulb goes off as you remember how much he plays his Nintendo DS. There are times when he spends hours on that thing.
As far as you can remember, he usually keeps it on a desk in his room.
You stared long and hard at the massive door in front of you. The memory of nearly being stepped on still burning your mind.
"I can do this.. I NEED to do this.." You take a deep breath as you began to sprint towards the doorway.
It took you around seven minutes to finally make it. It was mind numbing to imagine how it would normally only take you a few foot steps to leave your room.
Your jaw opened with awe as you entered the massive hallway. It would easily take over an hour for you to make it to the staircase.
Luckily Kyle's room was relatively close.
About five minutes later you began to hear the sound of Kyle's feet thumping up the stairs.
You strategically decided to walk against the wall, knowing that something like this might occur.
Suddenly you had to cover your ears in pain. Kyle's foot steps were much louder than they were previously. As you watched him walking down the hall, you realized why.
Kyle at some point must have taken off his socks, his bare feet were now slapping across the hardwood floor. Each footstep was deafening.
Kyle covered the distance between your two rooms in nearly three footsteps as he entered his room, closing the door behind him.
You weren't too worried, since you could easily fit under the door-frame.
Upon entering the giant room you notice Kyle on his bed playing his DS.
You curse to yourself. Your plan was to be standing by it before he picked it up.
"I'll just have to get his attention some other way...." you think to yourself
You start your trek across the messy floor of Kyle's room.
You eventually reach his bed. Next to you was one of Kyle's black, white, and red high-top sneakers. Luckily it's opening was too high up for you to smell anything.
You began to look for a way to climb his bed as your eyes notice that a corner of his bed sheet was hanging off onto the floor.
You quickly run up to it and begin your climb. It takes around seven minutes for you to reach the top of his bed.
Unfortunately, Kyle was sitting on the other side of the bed, meaning your journey was not yet finished.
You decide that no matter where you walk will be dangerous so you end up taking the middle route.
It isn't long before you're making your way past Kyle's massive feet.
They were the very same that feet that nearly crushed you earlier, only this time they were sock-less. Every once in a while you'd notice his toes curl, likely having something to do with the game he was playing.
Moving on, you reached his massive butt. He had changed into white shorts and a blue tee-shirt, probably when he got rid of his socks.
Just as you were walking around the side of him, you finally got a good look at his face.
He seemed a little frustrated, probably trying to get the high score in something.
As you were about to make your way to climb his shorts, he groaned loudly in frustration.
"UGH!! I WAS SO CLOSE!" he shouted as his left fist came down near your position.
The impact sent you flying five inches up into the air.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" You screamed as you fell through the air. The shock of it all caused you to pass-out mid flight.
Finally waking up an unknown amount of time later, you start to pull yourself to your feet.
You begin looking around, trying to figure out where you landed.
You were immediately confused. Wherever you were was dark. The surface below you was spongy and somewhat moist, but the thing that struck you as the oddest was the smell. It was like the smell of a sock you had passed during your travel across the room, only many times worse. You held your nose as you continued to look around. Behind you was what looked like a massive dark cavern. Above you was a stream of light. You could tell by the ceiling that you were still in Kyle's room.
Up against the large wall under the beaming light was faded lettering. You eventually got close enough to read it out.
'Nike'
Everything suddenly made sense. The smell. The darkness.
You were sitting at the bottom of one of Kyle's high-tops.
"KYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLE!!" You began to scream at the top of your lungs.
There was no response.
You then attempted to climb the sides of the shoe. Each attempt ended in failure as you simply slid down the smooth sides.
"If only one of his laces had fallen in..." you think to yourself despairingly.
Suddenly the creaking sound of Kyle's bed began to flood the inside of the sneaker.
Your eyes widened with hope as Kyle's head had now come into view. He was rubbing his eyes, sliding his hands up his forehead and through his hair, now sitting off of the edge of his bed.
You can hear him groan as his arms stretched up over his head, closing his eyes while doing so; All followed by a loud sigh of relief.
You began shouting again
"KYYYYYYYLLLEEE!! DOWN HERE!!!!!!!!!!! IN YOUR SNEAKER!! KYLE!!!!!!!!"
Just as you were starting to worry that he couldn't hear you, his eyes focused on the floor where the sneakers sat. A light smile quickly formed on his face.
"YESSSSS KYLE! I'M RIGHT HERE!!" you wave your arms frantically.
Kyle began to lean down, reaching towards the floor.
You can hear some sort of friction-like noise, followed by a thump.
You suddenly start feeling suspicious as Kyle's eyes moved their focus on the opening of your sneaker.
KYLE!!!! HEEY!!!!! KYYYYYYYYYLEEE!!!
Kyle's expression doesn't seem to change, though he was clearly staring right where you were positioned.
Suddenly the world goes dark. Your heart sinks as you notice that Kyle's face has been replaced by a massive tan fleshy surface....
The sole of his foot...
It finally clicks, Kyle was putting on his sneakers!!
With no other option, you began to run towards the dark cavern. Behind you, Kyle's toes started to enter the foot ware, pressing down into the spongy wet surface, exactly where you had just been standing.
The smell gets worse the farther you run, your eyes begin to water from both the smell and the fear.
Finally hitting the dead end, you turn around to see that Kyle's toes were now nearly an inch away from you.
"KYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLEEEE!!!" You let out one last desperate scream as Kyle brought his heel down, filling the sneaker snuggly, and sending his toes right over you.
Meanwhile a few minutes ago~
"MmMM!" Kyle hummed as he stretched.
"What should I do now..." The boy thought to himself
His eyes darted across his messy room until he spotted his skateboard.
"Mmm, maybe I should go down to the corner store and pick up some chips for Brandon (wherever he is..)" He decided to himself.
Looking down at the floor, Kyle spotted his high-top sneakers.
"Oh good, It usually takes me forever to find where I leave them" He thought to himself with a smile.
The nine year old reached down and began enter his naked foot into the first high-top, popping his heel in with little effort.
He then focused his attention on the second sneaker. Quickly doing the same.
He felt his toes itch within the confines of the second sneaker, but simply decides to pass it off as nothing.
Feeling the itch again a few moments later, he began to get a little annoyed.
He kicked his foot into the carpet a few times, attempting to satisfy the annoying itch. He smiled to himself as it ceased.
He began to walk over to his skateboard, picking it up as he left the house.
----
You were now struggling to survive as Kyle's colossal toes were now pressing down on you with each step.
"KYYYYYYLE!!!" You cried in vain as the inside of the shoe became hot and humid.
You were hitting his toes as hard as you can until he started to stomp into the carpet. A few of your bones snapped each time the massive toes came down onto you, causing you to cry out in intense pain.
It wasn't long before he continued walking. You were now drenched by the sweat coming off of Kyle's gargantuan foot.
-----
The young boy placed his skateboard on the street and began pushing it.
---
You suddenly felt a massive force pulling you further under the giant's toes as Kyle slapped the cement with his foot.
You continued to cry as you were pulled further and further under his foot.
You didn't want your life to end this way. Not like this.
With one final powerful kick, Kyle's foot rose up just enough so that your whole body slid directly under the balls of his feet.
KYYYY-
You weren't even able to finish yelling his name as the kid's foot came slamming down.
----
For a moment Kyle could have sworn he felt a crunch against his sole, but simply assumed that there had been an annoying bug in his sneaker all along.
The nine year old was completely unaware that he had just crushed his once 'big' brother underneath his bare foot. All of your struggles went totally unknown.
Kyle hadn't even noticed the red smear on his sole after taking off his shoes later that day.
He simply propped his feet up on his bed as he continued playing video games.
