Regrets
Darlene faced the crowd. It was time to make her plea. "I know it a bit late for regrets. But I wish I could undue the actions of the last few days. But I can not. All I can do is explain my actions. For years I had a mega goddess fantasy. Dreams of towering over people, and crushing things, filled my dreams. When I found out about the Wishbone meal deal. I jumped at the chance. To be honest, I didn’t really expect to become a GTS-goddess. And when I grew, I’m sorry to say, I went on a rampage without any thought of the consequences. In my dreams I never thought about the aftereffects of an rampage. While your cities can be rebuilt. The people I (sob) crushed. Are gone forever. Please believe me, when I say I deeply regret their deaths." Silence came from the crowd before her. They didn’t trust this 6000 foot brunette, who over the last three days, had wiped out a dozen cities, killing millions of people. They stayed what they considered a reasonable distance away from her. But they knew she could kill them all if she wanted to. Darlene could sense the crowd did not believe her. While they could do nothing to hurt her physically. She wanted their understanding. Then she had an idea. Maybe the people at Wishbone, can make things right. Then she realized Wishbone was in the middle of an populated area. Make she could ask someone to go to the restaurant, and explain the situation. "Wishbone can’t help you." Darlene was surprised to see a man by her feet. Nobody else had dared to approach her. Who was he? "Names Stanley Charm. I’m the manger of Wishbone." "Please Mr. Charm I want to take back my wish." "I’m sorry Darlene, but once you make a wish you can’t take it back." "Can’t I make an other wish? One to undue the damage." "Sorry. Only one wish per person. You could ask someone else to make a wish for you. If Mr. G will allow it." "Who Mr. G?" "The guy who runs the Wishbone multiuniverse." "Maybe I can appeal to him directly." Darlene then got on her hands and knees. "Please Mr. G undue the damage I have done." When she got no response. She changed her tact. "Ok, you win. I learned my lesson. Change me back to the way I was. I Darlene Northup will accept any punishment, society hands down on me." The crowd started to go home at this point. They felt Darlene had lost it. Stanley Charm hung around. He wanted to see what she would do next. Seeing her pleas were having no effect. And not knowing where else to turn, she started to pray to God. Asking for forgiveness and advice and how to make things right. She waited, but got no response. Seeing nothing was happening Stanley headed back to his restaurant. All alone, Darlene ended up crying herself to sleep. Interlude A There was once a girl by the name of Darlene Northup. Who had dreams of becoming a goddess. While most people who have such dreams, never have them come true. Hers came true. For a time, it looked like she would be an evil goddess. Then she lost her mind. Who ever heard of a goddess regretting her actions? I heard of gentle goddess, but one that prays to God?!! She an embarrassment to the entire GTS-Goddess race. Unless I can save her. Bring her back to the evil side. Interlude B This is a sign. Darlene Northup who started off as an evil bitch, is now open to influence by us gentile goddess. I got to show her, that she can be a good GTS-Goddess. Before the evil GTS-Goddess, talk her back into doing evil. Part 2 Darlene walked through the streets of the strange city. She was back to her normal size. Then the earth began to shake, a huge shadow appeared over the city. She could hear and see explosions. Entire blocks were being destroyed my a mysterious figure, thousands of feet tall. She could see people being crushed by the falling buildings. Their faces thrown apart and crushed. An army of people began to appear. They were men, woman and children. There were whites, blacks and Orientals. Every nationally imaginable was present. And they were all dead. Darlene quickly noticed that as the figure( which appeared to be a woman) killed people, their ghosts would from a cloud around her. There moans and groans calling out for justice was terrifying. Darlene went to the mysterious figure whose back was turned to her. She wanted to put a stop to this slaughter. "Who do you think you are?" she asked the figure. The woman turned around. Darlene gasped she was looking up at her own face. "WELL, IF IT ISN"T MY MORTAL SELF. THERE NO NEED FOR YOU TO EXIST ANYMORE. " the goddess Darlene then put her foot down on the mortal Darlene. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO." The mortal Darlene screamed. People for miles around hear her scream. It was loud enough to brake windows. People prayed that Darlene would wake up. Their prayers were answered. Darlene was surprised to find herself 6000 feet tall again, and lying on the ground. Then she realized she had been dreaming. Shaking herself awake she decided to head for the hills to think things over. Hours passed and Darlene still didn’t know what to do. She though about spending the rest of her life in unpopulated areas. While that would prevent further deaths it wouldn’t relieve her of her guilt. Then she thought about suicide. Darlene went up to the oceans edge, and walked right in. She was planning on drowning herself, but when the water reached her neck. She lost her nerve. "This is nuts. I’m actually afraid to die." Darlene though to herself as she headed back to shore. The truth of the matter was, she was immortal and able to breath underwater. But Darlene didn’t realize that. When she got back to dry land, she was surprised to find an other GTS-Goddess waiting for her. She had red hair, and was wearing a black leather outfit. She was the same size as Darlene. "We need to talk." Were the first words out of the other goddess mouth. "Ok, Ms. ?" "The name is Goddess Margaret. Quite frankly your behavior has been a disgrace to the GTS-Goddess race. " "Excuse me?" Darlene did not like Margaret’s tone of voice. "I know I’m being harsh with you. But you need to know the truth. Your behavior is becoming bizarre. Who ever heard of a goddess regretting her actions? Or praying to God. Your rule is threatening to become a joke, like Shelly’s" "Who Shelly?" "The only GTS-Goddess in creation afraid of heights. My point is, you had a excellent start to your career as a goddess with that rampage. We were sure you were one of us evil goddess. but now your throwing that away." "But evil is wrong. and usually eventually punished. Besides my conscience brothers me." "Your thinking like a mortal Darlene. Who going to punish you? Humanity? Their jails are too small for you, and their weapons can not kill you." "What about divine punishment beyond the grave?" Margaret burst out laughing. "You just don’t get it. Your a GTS-Goddess. Your going to live forever. You’ll never be dammed to hell. Let me put it this way. Their no incentive to be good. For you can not be punished, by either Human or God." "What about nightmares? I dreamt that the souls of my victims were demanding justice." "Nightmares are just dreams. They can not hurt you. Same goes for ghosts. Although personally I think their a myth. Darlene the truth of the matter is, goddess rule worlds. And the only way to rule and dominate a world is to be an evil goddess. Their is no alternative." "That’s a lie." Darlene and Margaret turned to see who had spoken. To be continued Disclaimer: In this part I quote parts of the comments Octavian and Anon made on part one of this story. Part 3 Darlene first impression that she was looking at the girl next door. The newcomer was blond and was wearing a white T-shirt and gym shorts. Like Darlene the newcomer was also 6000 feet tall. "Who are you?" Darlene asked the newcomer. "My name Doreen. I’m here to tell you, about the possibilities of being a gentile goddess." "That’s an oxymoron." "Don’t listen to Margaret. It is possible to be a good goddess. One that works with humanity." "That’s a bunch of bull. Were too big to work with Humanity. And their too small." "How to you explain Valerie? In her giantess state she’s five miles tall, let she a gentle goddess. Heard she helps out in natural disaster cleanup." "Cleaning up natural disasters doesn’t trill me. Is there any other options?" Darlene asked "There are many options for a gentle giantess. A judge in disputes, jobs in the construction industry. Or you could be an entertainer. Some of the best ruled worlds in GTS-space are ruled by a goddess working with not against humanity." "But people don’t trust me." Darlene pointed out. "That’s why you should turn your back on them. What has Humanity done for you? You should do like me. Look out for number one." "Have you forgotten that you used to be Human? Their feelings still matter to me. " "Hey Doreen. Most people expect death and destruction from us " "Say’s who?" Doreen asked. "Octavian, who says and I quote "…I personally feel that mega giantess/goddess should never feel bad about the destruction they cause." Anon goes even further, "…may the goddess rule in supreme malevolence. After all what are we to them that they should care about us for anything other than amusement and feeding their addiction." "But those guys are board members. Their options do not represent society as a whole. Besides I bet they never met a evil goddess in real life. I wonder how longer their options would last, if they were to meet you in person." Margaret and Doreen, then noticed Darlene was losing interest in the discussion. Doreen decided to change her tactics. "What would your family think of you now?" Doreen asked Darlene "Oh my God. I forgot about my family. They were in one of the cities I rampaged through. I hope their still alive." "Who cares. I ate my own brother and crushed my parents who were a bunch of jerks." "How could you be so mean to your family, Margaret? I may have killed people, but I can’t imagine eating people. " " I’m an evil goddess period. Tell me this Darlene. why is it ok to crush people but not eat them?" " I was never into eating people. It’s just too gross." "As a gentile goddess, you never have to worry where to draw the line. And besides doing good things, will help you get rid of your guilt. Following Margaret’s example will just lead to more guilt." Darlene was starting to get interested. Getting rid of her guilt was her main goal. Would it hurt to try Doreen’s way? Then she noticed that Margaret was looking at something. "A pickup truck is heading this way. Watch me crush it." "Wait Margaret, this is my world. Let me meet with them." Bob, Rick and Tom were having a blast driving down the shore road. Then they spotted the goddess on the horizon. Bob: "Oh no it’s Darlene, and she got friends. Let get out of here." Rick: "No wait. I bet they don’t even know were here. I say we drive right under them. " Tom up to this point was hypnotized by the beauty of the goddess said; "Are you nuts?" Rick: "Hey if we pull this off. We could become famous. The three that challenged goddess and won. Besides I’m the one driving." Bob: "You better be right, about them not noticing us." Before Rick could respond. Darlene starting walking toward them. And said; "Can I talk to you for a moment?" Rick slammed on the brakes. Deep down he was scarred of goddess. He had seen the destruction Darlene had caused on tv. He tried to hide his fear by acting brave, and though this stunt would eliminate his fears. Fears that came to the surface, the instant Darlene spoke. Rick turned the pick up around, and put the petal to the metal. Tom: "Your going to try to outrun her? I think it’s a bit late for that" Bob: "What happened to drive right under them?" Rick: "I changed my mind." Darlene was surprised and upset, that the pickup truck turned around. She decided to make them listen. "Hey Darlene. It’s not a good idea to pursue them." Doreen cautioned. Darlene ignored her. Bob, Rick and Tom watched in horror as Darlene got closer and closer. Then she walked right over them and placed her hands in their path. "Abandon truck" Rick cried as he and his friends jumped from the truck just before it crashed into Darlene palm. "Oh no what have I done?" Darlene cried as the truck crashed and burst into flames. Then she noticed what appeared to be three ants on the ground. And realized they must be the people from the truck. "Are you guys all right?" Darlene asked. When she got no answer. She tried to pick one of the men up. Rick watched as Darlene tried to pick up Bob. But she was so big, it was like a normal woman trying to pick up an ant with her bare hands. She ended up crushing him to death with her fingers. He then watched as his buddy body parts rain down on to the ground below. "Oh no. I can’t do anything right." Darlene cried when she realized she crushed someone between her fingers. Margaret was smiling like a cat. Then she said; "This is proof, your an evil goddess at heart." Doreen meanwhile was shaking her head, she was afraid something like this would happen. "It’s takes time and practice to learn how to handle tiny people. " Darlene turned to face Doreen and in the process crushed Tom. "Darlene I would watch where you step." Darlene looked down and saw only one person. Realized the other guy must be under her foot, she got very upset. "Clam down. Accidents happen to even the gentlest of goddess. You’ll…" "Don’t listen to Doreen. There just men. Injured men at that. Your doing them a favor by killing…" "Leave me alone. Both of you." Darlene then ran off. Rick tried to crawl away, but had too many broken bones. He noticed the red head looking at him. He didn’t like that look. He saw her foot come down on him, Rick though he was a goner. But then a huge hand came between him and the foot. Protecting him. "Your not crushing this man." To Doreen’s surprise Margaret did not get mad. "This bug does not matter. I’m succeeding in my main goal. Getting Darlene back into evil habits." "You haven’t won yet. A little time and training and she’ll be a gentle goddess. She just needs to clam down." While neither goddess would admit it. They both wondered if Darlene would become a in-betweener. A goddess that was neither good or bad. An outcome both goddess wanted to prevent. To be continued Part 4 The little girl was playing by the anthill. She was acting like she was the queen of the ants. When the ants ignored her she started to stomp them. Joann Northup looked at the scene with surprise. Darlene was a little girl again. She always though her daughter was a bit odd. She was about to ask what she was doing to those poor ants when then scene shifted. She was in Boston shopping with her husband. Then a huge Darlene came on the scene, crushing everything in sight. "Stop Darlene. Were not ants, were not ants." Darlene didn’t stop. In the resulting panic, she and Mr. Northup got separated. "Ms. Northup?" a voice called out. Joann Northup opened her eyes. She had been dreaming of past events. Events that lead to her current situation. For the past two days, she had been a guest of the US military. Or to be more exact the ‘Darlene Task Force’. Who purpose was to find out as much as possible about Darlene. To do this task, they examined her school records, looked at her personal computer files and interviewed people who had known her. Since she was Darlene mother they considered her a Darlene expert. They hoped she could tell them what made Darlene tick. They were hoping she could predict Darlene next move. Joann told them what she knew. Saying her daughter was hard to classify. There was times she was good, but capable of being a real bitch when she wanted to. There were two other so called Darlene experts with the task force. Marsha Coleman who was Darlene best friend, and a man calling himself Bugman. Who was a member of the Internet GTS community, and one of Darlene fans. General Hickman led the task force, and was standing in front of her now. "I got good news and bad news. The good news is we found your son. The bad news your husband is still missing and probably dead." "You found Andrew?" "Yes, he safe. You get to talk to him latter, but right now a situation has come up. We need you in the briefing room right away." When Joann arrived in the briefing room, she was surprised to find Marsha and Bugman already there. General Hickman then went to the front of the room. "Darlene is no longer alone. She been joined by two other giantess." Images of Margaret and Doreen showed up on the screen. They seamed to be talking about something. "Do you know these people?" asked the general. Bugman: "They look like Doreen and Margaret. The embodiment of good and evil." Hickman: "What do you mean?" Bugman: "Doreen represents good, Margaret evil. I’ve seen stories about them on the net. But I never dreamt they really existed." Marsha: "Is there any way to find out what their saying?" Hickman: "We have a mike in range. Let’s listen in for the moment." Margaret: "Were you always so darn gentle?" Doreen: "I was born an raised a christen. I try to fallow the teachings of Christ." Margaret: "The goal of Christians is to get into heaven and be united with God. Am I right?" Doreen: "What your point.?" Margaret: "Your been good for nothing. Your never get to heaven." Doreen: "I may never get to heaven. But I will never be sent to hell." Bugman: "It’s them all right. Involved in the endless debate between good and evil." Joann: "You said Darlene was no longer alone. Where she is?" Hickman: "Until 40 minutes ago, she was with them. She currently 50 miles from their position." Joann:" Can I see her?" The imagine on the screen changed. Darlene was sitting down in the middle of a forest. Joann: "I know that look she’s in deep though." Hickman: "About what?" Darlene tried to think up a plan. While she was tempted to avoid people altogether, she knew she had to deal with them sometime. Besides she missed her parents. Heck she was even starting to miss her brother. But were they still alive? She did not know, but wanted to find out. But how? It was a big world. Who would she ask for help? Or should she search for them on her own. Darlene felt she needed help. While Margaret and Darlene were offering to be mentors she felt she had to talk to normal people. Getting up, she decided to head to the nearest large town. A few hours later, in a secret location. Heads of state from all around the world were meeting. When Darlene first came on the scene. It was to be considered to be an a local problem. When the initial military attacks failed. People wondered what her reach was. Could she cross oceans? Countries outside the Americas felt reasonably safe, until two other giantess showed up out of nowhere. Worried that giantess could be showing up in their countries next. Every major country in the world agreed to meet to come up with a plan. Disagreement soon showed it’s head. Some favored a massive military strike. Pointing out that so far, only guns, tanks and missiles have been used. Chemical and nuclear weapons were just waiting to be used. Others fearing that these weapons would cause more damage than the giantess, suggested talking to the giantess. Make some sort of deal. Others pointed out that attempts to talk to Darlene during her rampage ended in failure. A few, asked if the Wishbone restaurant that helped start the whole mess, could help. Only to be told that the restaurant had disappeared. After arguing for a few hours. The majority of world leaders decided to try to talk to the giantess. In hopes a deal could be reached. Since the blond giantess (Doreen) had an reputation of being gentile. They decided to talk to her first. Darlene approached the city. She wanted to make contact as many people as possible, without causing a massacre. Seeing a large mall on the fringes of the city she decided it was a good a place as any. She went to the parking lot, and got on her hand and knees.(in an effort to be less imitating and make it easier for her to see people) "As you know my name is Darlene. The reason for my visit is to find out if my family is still alive. My parents names are Dan Northup and Joann Northup. My brother name is Andrew Northup. If you have any information on their whereabouts. Please tell me. I’ll be hanging round this city. If anyone in authority wants to speak to me, I’m available. I promise not to kill any political leaders that want to talk to me, the same goes for the media. " Darlene having said her piece, waited for a response. Andrew Northup happened to be in the other side of town meeting with mayor Walter Risk. When word came of Darlene arrival, he asked to see her. Megaphone in hand, he and the mayor went to the mall, where Darlene was waiting. Even on her hands and knees, her head was hundreds of feet of the ground. Andrew felt imitated by his big sister, but felt he had to do this. "Darlene can you here me?" "Andrew is that you? Where are you?" She looked down at the small group before her. Trying to spot her brother. "I’m down here. Don’t come any closer." "I won’t hurt you. Have you heard mom and dad." "You didn’t care about them, when you leveled Boston to the ground." "ARE THEY ALIVE?" "Mom is, but dad is dead." Darlene stared down at her brother in shock. She was afraid she’ll hear news like this. Tears started to flow down her check. "I’m very sorry to hear that. Where is mom? I need to talk to her." "Why? So you can kill her too?" Darlene was shocked. Of the members of her family she knew her brother was the least likely to forgive her. But she never expected this. "How can you possibly say that?" "I know about your mega giantess fantasies. You willfully committed Murder." "But I never meant for dad to die." "What about the total strangers in those cities? Did you mean to kill them or were they in the wrong place at the wrong time?" Darlene didn’t know what to say. At the time she deliberately killed a few people. The majority just got in the way. "I got nothing else to say to you. Good bye Darlene." "Wait Andrew, I need to know where mom is." "Darlene, this is mayor Walter Risk. Your mother is safe. As for her location I don’t know where it is. They won’t tell me." "Who the hell are they?" Before the mayor could answer, governor Nutman, came on the scene. He took one look at Darlene, then grabbed the megaphone from Risk’s hands. "I am governor Nutman. This is a no mega giantess state." "What are you trying to tell me?" Darlene was starting to get to get pissed off. "I’m telling you to get out of my state." To be continued |

Part 5
Darlene wanted to crush the jerk into oblivion. Her fist hovered over his head. But she felt he wasn’t worth it. So she withdrew her fist. "I will leave your stupid state. For I need to find mom. We can both save some time, by telling me where she is." When she got no answer, Darlene got up and left in a huff. When she was safely gone, mayor Risk turned to governor Nutman and said; "I can’t believe you got away with that. She could have killed us." "With mega giantess you got to be firm. Besides it makes great bragging material. " On a vast empty wheat field. Doreen agreed to meet with the media and a few world leaders. To answer any questions they might have. To everyone horror Margaret showed up as well. Since they had already gathered they reluctantly proceeded. Doreen: "I wish to thank you all for coming. " Margaret: "Yeah, It about time you people find out who your bosses are." US President: "Bosses? We rule ourselves. This is our world not yours." Margaret: "I got news for you. This world, which is now called GTS-788. Belongs to Darlene, although I expect a cut of the resources." Doreen: "I won’t put it those terms. But Darlene will dominate this world. and I would recommend dealing with her." Media: "But we don’t trust her." Doreen: "Your going to have to live with her, wither you like it or not." Media: "Do you plan to stay in our world?" Doreen: "The current plan is for either me or Margaret to stay for a few months as a mentor for Darlene. After that you may get the occasional visit. " Pope: "Are you punishment from God?" Margaret: "Yes." Doreen: "No." The two goddess looked at each other. A fight threatened to start. British PM: "Would you obey an order to leave this world?" Margaret: "You just don’t get it. You have NO authority over us." US president: "Who does?" Doreen: "The GTS council and Mr. G. Although if Darlene asked me to leave I would obey." Margaret: "Speak for yourself. I’m not leaving this world, until I’m good and ready." "You should let me talk to her. " Joann pleaded with general Hickman. ‘I’m sorry. But it’s too dangerous." "She looking for me, you fool." "Like it or not. If worst comes to worst, your our bargaining clip." General Hickman then left her. Joann was still steaming when Bugman, came by to say hello. "Military acting like jerks?" "How did you know?" "The military always acts like jerks in GTS stories." "But this is real, not some story off the net." "Well the last few days, feel like they belong to one of the stories I’ve read over the net. To be frank Ms. Northup that scares me." "Why?" "While I enjoy GTS fantasies. I’ve have mixed feelings when they show up in real life." After a fruitless day of searching for her mother, Darlene feel asleep and began to dream. "Darlene you been a bad girl." Darlene was shocked to hear her father voice. When she looked down, she saw a man of medium build, with graying hair. "Dad your alive?" Darlene asked. The instant she said that his appearance changed. His body became red and bloody. "I’m a ghost Darlene. You murdered me before my time." "I’m sorry I never wanted to hurt you." "I know. But the damage is done. There no justice, you killed four million people, yet that not why your going on trial" "On Trial? What are you talking about?" "You’ll find out. Goodbye Darlene." Her father faded out of sight and Darlene found herself in an enormous room. She found herself standing before a dozen goddess of various sizes. These goddess dressed in judges robes, were situated behind a raised table. All around the wall of the room were hundreds of seated GTS-goddess. They were placed by size, the smaller goddess(those merely hundreds of feet tall) sat in the bottom rows. Mid sized goddess (those thousands of feet tall) took up the middle rows, and at the back were goddess whose height was measured in miles. Darlene decided to focus on the goddess behind the table. "Who are you?" Darlene asked the goddess behind the table. "We are the GTS-Goddess council. The goddess seated around you are your peers." A 12,000 foot goddess with raven hair then addressed Darlene. "You have been charged with the crime of refusing to become either a gentile or an evil goddess. How do you pled?" "What difference does it make to you?" Darlene asked. "If you become a gentile goddess, you’ll have the support of other gentile goddess. Choose evil and you’ll become an member of the evil goddess club. Stick on your current path and you’ll be shunned by all." "Did it ever occur to you, that I’m both good and bad. I never did like being labeled, and refuse to fit into a category." "Think of the consequences of your actions. If your neither good or bad, your rule will become unpredictable. That’s usually bad for a world. Your don’t want to be nicknamed chaos do you?" "Then change me back to a mortal girl, if you don’t like what I become." The other GTS-Goddess whispered to each other, this was not going as planned. Should they force Darlene to choose one side or the other? Darlene was getting bored. "If your not going to do anything. Let me go." "We could force you to choose, but we have chosen not to." "You can’t make me do anything." "Don’t push us too far. May Mr. G have mercy on your soul." "As far as I’m concerned he can go to…" To Darlene surprise the scene dissolved and she found herself on the ground. "I was dreaming?" she asked the night air. She found herself alone, so she figured she was dreaming. Darlene decided to act on her dream. In the mourning she would go to Margaret and Doreen and ask them to leave this world. At the crack of dawn, Margaret and Doreen were informed by the GTS council, on the events of the night before. They then argued over the results. Margaret: "We can launch an appeal. Force her to make a choice" Doreen: "I agree this is the result we all feared. But she defied the GTS council will. Maybe as time goes on she will change her mind." Margaret: "You may be willing to wait eons. But I’m not. Maybe the board members can force Mr. G’s hand." Doreen: "Too late for that. Here comes Darlene." To be continued Part 6 Darlene was a bit nervous about was she was about to do. She was dealing with fallow goddess after all. But she felt she had to do this. "Goddess Margaret and Doreen. I know you been trying to help me. But I must ask that you leave this world." "Your making a mistake Darlene. If you change your mind I can be reached at GTS-567. " Doreen then left the scene. While Margaret stood her ground. "You too Margaret. Time for you to go." "I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this. But you give me no choice. Since you refuse to fallow the rules. I must rule this world in your place." "You can’t do that." Margaret then threw a knockout punch at Darlene. Caught off guard, she fell to the ground. Darlene tried to get up, but Margaret kept kicking and hitting her. "This is for your own good." Margaret said as she continued to kick her. Suddenly she stopped. "I got an idea I’ll be right back." Margaret then ran off to get something. Darlene was in pain. While her injuries were healing, she could barely move. All too soon, Margaret returned with two 500 foot cans in her hands. "What your preference men or women?" "I Don’t understand." "Let me show you." Margaret then opened the can label "Men". And showed Darlene the contents. Which consisted of hundreds of naked men. Trying their best to get out of the can. "The other can contains naked women. Now which one should I force feed you from?" "Neither. I refuse to eat people." Margaret then took the can of men, and with her other hand forced Darlene mouth open. It was a terrifying experience of the men inside the can. For as the can tipped, they had a good view of Darlene mouth. They tried to avoid sliding into her mouth. But the force of gravity broth them closer and closer to their doom. Then just as the first men were about to fall into Darlene mouth. A voice cried out. "Margaret stop." Startled Margaret upright the can, much to the relief of the men inside. Darlene couldn’t believe her eyes. The 12,000 foot goddess with raven hair, from her dream was standing before them. "This a private matter go away." Margaret cried. "I’m here to enforce the council will. Darlene asked you to leave., so you no longer have a place here. What were you doing to her anyway?" "Force feeding her men. Want some? I got both men and women cans" "You make me sick. Here what I think of your eating habits. " she then took the can of women, opened it and tipped on its side. Seeing their chance to escape hundreds of naked women, poured out of the can. "Hey those are mine." "Not anymore. Time to go. " the stranger then grabbed Margaret. Who put a fight. Darlene watched helplessly as the can of men was crushed underneath the fighting goddess feet. Finally the taller goddess got the upper hand and carried Margaret away. Darlene surveyed the damage. The men in the can were crushed to a bloody red mass. It was hard to tell where one man body began and other ended. The women faired much better, other than a few stragglers who got crushed in the fight. The majority were free, and exiting the scene. After resting a bit, Darlene resumed the search for her mother. She didn’t know where to find her, but she was determined to find out. As she got underway, she couldn’t help feeling it was the start of an new era for her and the world. End of current story? Alexandria’s Story Can you help me? I don’t know what to do. I suppose I should tell you who I am and how I got in this mess. My name is Alexandria Ward. I was living an normal life, until about two years ago. That’s when Cheryl arrived and changed our lives forever. When she first arrived, we did not know her name. For the few days she was nothing but rumor. People just found reports of a 2500 foot red head too hard to believe. I still remember my first sighting of her. Me and my boyfriend were out in the countryside having a picnic when Bob said; "Alex what the heck is that?" On the horizon was what appeared to be a mountain. But I knew there was no mountain there. Then she turned to face us. I had trouble believing my eyes. It was a woman, but what a scale. Every thing about her including her clothes, was several hundred times life size. Cheryl towered over everything. Even the hills between us and her. "Is this a nightmare?" I asked Bob. The goddess took a step towards us. Then she paused, and then headed toward a nearby town. Cheryl does like to play with people. Maybe that’s why she has press conferences. It was a few weeks after my first Cheryl sighting, that Cheryl announced a meeting with the press. I along with millions of other people watched it on television. It was a humbling sight, seeing those tv reporters next to Cheryl. Her toes were taller than even the tallest reporter on the scene. It was her speech that got me and millions of people mad. In it she said her name was Cheryl and that she was a GTS-Goddess. Then she said that this world was now part of GTS-space and the days of Humanity’s dominance on this planet were over. Well that was fighting words. So naturally we began to fight back. I myself joined a resistance cell lead by a nice man by the name of Brad Pit. We were confident that we could win. As they months went by this confidence began to fade. Cheryl was able to withstand every attack we made on her. And some of those attacks involved thousands of troops and hundreds of aircraft. Over time the military learned that large forces just meant more people for Cheryl to kill. Attacks using relatively small numbers of people became the norm. I personally was involved in the smaller attacks. My job at first involved running errands for the resistance. Others than having friends die, I didn’t see much combat until that awful night. A dozen tanks supported by a small army of foot soldiers attacked Cheryl shortly after night fall. The plan was for the tanks to fire on her to distract her. While the ground troops try to find weak parts of her body by firing our guns in her at point blank range. In hindsight it was a desperate plan. But what choice did we have? Right on schedule the tanks began to fire. We started to run toward the goddess. But she was a moving target. Why didn’t we wait until she was asleep? Anyway she started to crush the tanks one by one. We could hear the loud crunch as each tank, was crushed flat by her enormous feet. It was then I realized, we had the same chance against Cheryl as bugs would have against a Human. This though made me freeze in my tracks. Which is just as well, for it saved my life. Some of the troops did manage to get on to her body. I can still hear the smacking sound her hand made, as she smacked the people off her body like they were flies. Fortunately she didn’t see me in the dark, so I managed to survive the night. When dawn came, I didn’t know what to do. Neither did the rest of resistance. For ever thing short of nuclear weapons had been tried against Cheryl. Morning passed by quickly, and I got hungry. That’s when I came across the restaurant. Except for the big picture of a wishbone on the roof, it looked just like an ordinary restaurant. Going inside, I found the place almost empty. A huge eight foot waitress quickly seated me at a table. And handed me a menu. Then she ran off somewhere. Looking it over, I couldn’t make up my mind. Looking around the room, I then noticed a sign on the wall the read; WARNING ONE WISH PER PERSON ONCE YOU MAKE A WISH YOU CAN"T TAKE IT BACK When the waitress came back, I asked her about the sign. "That refers to the wishbone meal deal. Who ever orders it gets to make a wish." "Really? Come on , um what’s your name?" "Brenda. I used to be skeptical too. Until my wish came true." "Well this planet needs a miracle, to get rid of Cheryl." "Who’s Cheryl?" "You never heard of Cheryl. The GTS-Goddess ruler of this planet. Where have you been?" "Elsewhere. Are you ready to order now?" "I’ll take the Wishbone meal deal please." "All right. But I should warn you, that fighting a GTS-goddess is very dangerous. Be careful what you wish for." A short time later my meal arrived. It was delicious. Then I started to think back over the last couple of years. How we were no match for Cheryl. And how unfair that was. Then I said the words, that would come to haunt me. "I wish I could meet Cheryl on equal terms. Then I will have a fair fight." After I said these words, I remembered the wish. Would it come true? Then I realized, if Cheryl shrunk to my size, I would have a chance to beat her to a pulp, and the threat to Humanity would be over. After I had finished my meal. I noticed a man starting at me. He was of medium build, and looked like he was in his thirties. "I know I’m beautiful. But must you look at me that way?" "Sorry I didn’t mean to stare. Names Stanley Charm, I’m the manger of Wishbone. While I admit your a nice looking brunette. That’s not why I’m interested in you." "Oh, why are you interested in me then?" This Stanley guy was starting to give me the creeps. "Because of your role your going to play in this worlds future." In hindsight, I think he knew what was going to happen to me. I should have questioned him further. But at the time, all I wanted to do was pay the bill and get out of there. The rest of the day was uneventful. I camped out in a small forest, and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was almost dawn. Then I notice a other woman a short distance away. She had curly red hair and green eyes, and was wearing a brown jumpsuit. It took me a few seconds to realize it was Cheryl. She no longer towered over me. We were the same size. "The playing field is level at last." I cried, as I got up. "What are you talking about Alexandria ?" she asked. I answered by attacking her. Cheryl despite being surprised by my attack soon fought back. After a couple of minutes of fighting she said; "Here I was planning a peaceful transition." "What are you talking about?" I asked. "My role on your world was to prepare it for GTS-Goddess rule. Your rule." "What nonsense are you.." the words died in my throat as I looked around me. The world had gone tiny. The trees that were still standing only came up to my knees. During the fight quite a few trees got crushed. As I stood there in stunned silence, Cheryl threw a punch at me, knocking me to ground. "That’s for attacking me." "I don’t get it. I was expecting you to shrink down to my size, when I made that wish." Cheryl burst out laughing. "GTS-Goddess are shrink proof you fool." Then in a more sympathetic tone she said; "Your not the first one, to make an error when wishing at Wishbone." "But I don’t want to be a GTS-Goddess. I spent most of the past two years in the resistance." "You don’t have a choice. Although I find it ironic, that a goddess hater should become a goddess herself. Before I go, I’ll give you one piece of advice, there are GTS-Goddess out there that are a lot more powerful than you. So don’t think of taking this world out of GTS-Space. That said, may your rule be pleasant." Cheryl then left me, I believe she has actually left this world. I wish I knew what to do, Wishbone is no help because once you make a wish you can’t take it back.(Besides I’m too big to fit in the restaurant anyway) Refusing to rule is an option I suppose, but they would just send some one else to rule in my place or force me to become a puppet ruler. Besides I would still be a GTS-Goddess. I’ve become the enemy and I don’t like it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can become Human again, and liberate this world from GTS-Goddess rule? © 1999 by Mr. G The catch Dan looked over the ad one more time. Do you like tall woman? Our world needs men. Apply to 1200 Dunbrack street. Halifax, NS "Worth checking out" Dan said to himself as he entered the office building. "What’s the deal?" he asked the girl at reception. She was a tall 6’4’’ redhead. "Our world is experiencing a male shortage. There only one male for every ten females." "Is every one there, as tall as you?" "No. Woman range in height from six feet to my height." "Really? Where do I sign up?" "Right here. there be an interview process, and if you meet our criteria. You’ll be on your way." Dan meet the requirements. After the interview he was introduced to Flora who was a cute 6’2’’ brunette. "I’ll be your main companion." She told him. She lead him to a back room, which contained a vortex. "Our home is through there." "Then what are we waiting for?" Dan cried. They jumped through the vortex together. Dan and Flora arrived in a deserted hall. "Where are we?" Dan asked. "In the main hall of Dorm plex 18-b. It houses ten women, most being only temporary residents. In case your wondering I’m one of the permanent residents." "Where is everyone?" "There outside, most woman usually only spent the night here. You’ll get to meet them soon enough." Dan started to feel a little funny. He looked around him, everything seemed to be a little bit bigger, even Flora. He looked at his clothes they seemed to be a little bit louse. "Something wrong?" Flora asked "That trip through the vortex, must not have agreed with me. " "It not the vortex. It’s something in the air that causes men to shrink." "What?" Dan looked around for the vortex but it was gone. "I’m sorry we weren’t completely honest with you. But we really do need men." Dan looked up at Flora in expiration. He had already shrunk to 5 feet in height and the process seemed to be speeding up. "How small will I get?" He asked as he shed his now too large clothes." "About this big." She held her fingers a quarter of an inch apart. She then took off one of her earrings. "This will be your home." "How I’m I supposed to living in an earring?" "You can try living, else where in the dorm. But most males prefer the earring. You won’t spend all your time in here. Some of your time will be spent making love to women." "At a quarter of an inch in height?" Dan screamed. He was down to doll size and still shrinking. "Most of the woman here, are here to get pregnant. Once you experience your first bodyscape, you’ll be coming back for more." Flora picked up the still shrinking Dan and placed in the same hand as her earring. Dan took a closer look at the earring and was amazed to discover the interior of the earring was like a house. But scaled for a ¼ inch tall man. The entire earring was only an inch tall. When Dan had finished shrinking he crawled into the earring. (there was a small door in the earring). Flora then put the earring on her ear. "Testing, if you can her me. please say so." "Yes. I can. Thanks for putting windows in the earring. The view not bad." "Thanks Dan. I think you might like here after all. Then again you don’t have a choice do you." The end |
