Eddy started inching taller very slowly. Douglas spotted something wasn’t right but didn’t want to interfere too much whilst he worked out what was going on. Before too long, he realised that his baby boy was growing right before his eyes. He’d only grown about 6 inches in that time, bring him to 2ft 10. Not knowing the power of the gun in his hand, Douglas made the conscious decision to not touch it while it was firing.
“Eddy, please take your finger off the trigger for me” Douglas pleaded. Eddy ignored his father’s pleas and instead pressed harder on the trigger. Eddy’s growth accelerated as he passed the 4ft mark and was showing no signs of stopping. Concerned how big Eddy might get and what it might do for everyone else, plus the house, he sharply reached for the gun and snatched it from Eddy’s hand. At this point, Eddy was stood at 5ft 4, just a few inches shorter than the 5ft 8 dad. Douglas breathed a sigh of relief as he managed to keep his hand off the trigger.
He made the swift decision to carry the gun outside away from Eddy as he knew that he’d try and claw it back from him, and at only 4 inches taller than him, knew he’d have a fight on his hands trying to keep him away. Everyone sprinted after Douglas as they wanted to see where he was heading with it, none moreso than Eddy.
Douglas thought he’d succeeded in his plan as he swung the front door open and went to run out the front of the house, then Eddy unintentionally trod on his loose lace with sent him forwards on to the floor with the gun flying out of his hand on to the front lawn. Eddy stepped over his groggy father lying on the floor and grabbed the gun off the floor. He immediately proceeded to aim the gun at himself again, this time pressing the trigger down as far as it would go.
Douglas was just regathering his senses as he saw the toddler’s height increase, this time at an alarming rate. He was growing at about 1ft per second as Ellen, Molly and Jack made their way outside too. By the time Douglas got to his son to try and retrieve the gun from his hand again, Eddy was now 6ft 8 with the gun held above his head to prevent him from having it taken from him again. “Eddy, give me the gun now” he ordered. Eddy just grinned down at his father as his growth continued. He passed the 10ft mark in no time as his dad was now had to look up to see the laces on his tracksuit bottoms.
Douglas, realising that his attempts to reclaim the gun or even convince Eddy to release his hand from the trigger were now futile, stood well back for his own safety. What had started out as looks of curiosity from Ellen, Molly and Jack were now looks of fear as they saw the two year old pass 15ft tall, at which point they were all just above knee height against him. Though they lived in a very quiet, a couple of neighbours had noticed the large figure outside and came out to see what was happening. It caused quite the commotion as they saw the toddler now standing at more than double the height of the front door.
Eddy passed the 20ft mark as he his head was now as high as the bottom of the upstairs windows. Eddy showed no signs of wanting to release the trigger as he sailed past the 25ft mark. Eddy turned and noticed some of the neighbours that had come outside. He decided it was time to have some fun as he approached the house directly opposite. The neighbours outside were 28 year old Lizzy and her 32 year old husband Dean. “Hello little ones” he called down at them as he passed the 30ft mark as he took a few steps closer to Lizzy. Dean’s protective nature kicked in and he stepped in front of Lizzy as if to guard her from the huge boy. This attempt to almost hide Lizzy only amused Eddy. At over 30ft tall, the 6ft tall Dean merely reached Eddy’s giant shins.
Eddy reached down with his free hand and grabbed Dean by his shirt. He picked him up like an action figure as his hand completely enveloped his body. Dean was weightless to Eddy as he brought him to his face. Dean flailed his arms in an attempt to reach out and hit the toddler as he tried to assert himself. His attempts were laughed off by Eddy as the punches felt like soft brushes against his enormous body. He then squeezed his body in his hand as Dean let out a yelp in pain which only added to the toddler’s amusement. Eddy then placed Dean on the ground, a few metres away from Lizzy. Before Dean could readjust himself, Eddy forcefully poked his index finger forward into Dean’s chest which was enough to send him falling to the floor. Eddy was now approaching 40ft tall. He decided it was time to release the trigger as he was satisfied that he was tall enough. He put the gun away in his pocket for safekeeping. The top of Lizzy and Dean’s house was now only shoulder high to the titan two year old. Eddy then spotted the shiny blue car on their driveway. Eddy chose to…   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
