THUD! “Ow!” You hit something hard and your whole body feels sore from the impact. You must have collapsed onto the floor but it felt more like you were falling through the air. There was this smell all around you that seemed familiar. Finally, you managed to open your eyes.
A massive… tree? was sticking up next to you. It was brown yet it didn’t have any branches so it was more like a telephone pole. It was leaning slightly to the right, and as you pulled yourself to your feet, you noticed that it was like you were standing on a mountaintop from all the stone cliffs jutting out all around you. However, the cliffs were of various colors from tan to orange to…
“Wait… where the hell am I?” What you saw around you didn’t make any sense. Had you been kidnapped and brought somewhere? You saw the crags and more telephone poles around you continue as far as you can see.
“I’LL GET THE SNACKS!” The voice was far off yet so loud it took you a moment to realize who it was. It sounded like Rachel shouting at the top of her lungs but at the same time it sounded casual. “Rachel? RACHEL!” You yelled. “Where are you!”
*Thump.* Like that T-Rex in that one movie, the ground started to shake intermittently as though something really big was heading towards you. *Thump! THUMP! THUMP!!!* The shaking grew as you heard the sound of massive footsteps coming towards you. “What IS that!?” The force of the steps made staying on your feet difficult.
You kept looking around trying to find where the steps were coming from when something BIG entered your field of vision. It was like standing at the foot of this 30 story tall blue building that was inconsistent in depth at various points that continued up and up. There were these large blue and rounded mountains jutting out as you looked up, and then the color changed to an Olive or Bronze that also wasn’t inconsistent…
“Oh shit!” You realized what you were looking at once the bronze part of the “building” bended and you saw these massive white orbs with a black pool in the center surrounded by green pools. She might have been massive to you but you’d recognize those eyes anywhere.
“RACHEL!” It was Rachel in her sky blue t-shirt, she was wearing a black short skirt as well if you remember right. “I’M DOWN HERE! RACHEL!” You scream and wave your hands but even though she’s looking right at you there’s no sign she saw or heard you. You’re not surprised, the tiny scar on her chin that was maybe a half inch long Rachel got in 5th grade was bigger than you.
Rachel’s eyes look away from you and at something else. Her hands are moving so fast they’re like a blur. At your size difference you have difficulty working out what she’s doing but she’s doing something on the counter. You realize you’re standing in some sort of food, but you still can’t figure out what it is. You think Rachel grabbed a few things and left.
That’s when you realized you had to get out of wherever you were. It was slow going working your way over the massive telephone poles and rocky surfaces and you didn’t even know if you were getting closer or further away from safety. You were starting to get the idea of where you were, and it wasn’t a pleasant thought. Being tiny while in a bowl of Chex Mix wasn’t the safest place in the universe.
You could hear loud giggling and talking probably from the living room, but you weren’t paying any attention to what they were saying. Your view of anything further than the area you were trapped in was just indistinct shapes. You kept working your way around the “cliffs” as best you could.
In the end though it was fruitless. It would take at least half an hour to get anywhere, and Rachel wasn’t keen to give you that time. The THUMP THUMP THUMP! of Rachel’s footsteps signaled that your time was up. As before you watched as the blue building made its way into your sight, but this time you felt a much much more significant quake as Rachel picked up the bowl you were in, throwing you around as the Chex Mix shifted. You felt like you were in a plane gaining altitude and then in the most erratic rollercoaster ever as Rached walked around.
Eventually, Rachel placed the bowl down on the living room table. You were finally able to get to your feet when you saw 5 massive brown redwoods that could somehow bend falling down around you. “Kia NO!” You are lucky enough to have one of Kia’s fingers not far from you as they land and close, so you run through the gap and just avoid it as Kia tears up the landscape just behind you. Bits of landscape fall from the fingers back into the bowl as you run.
Out of shock at what had nearly happened, you stop and follow Kia’s massive hand as it pulls up “cliffs” and “telephone poles” like she was a giant pulling up a small mountain like it was nothing. You watch as the hand takes the mix up into her massive cave-like mouth and tosses them in. CRUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!!! You can hear Kia’s chewing loudly from here.
Another rumble jars you out of your fixation and you look to see another hand to your left. Judging by the color of the skin it was either Alisa or Kelly. The hand grabs more of the landscape half a mile away. Followed by Rachel’s to your right. “I have to get OUT of here!” You scream and start to run as the girls are already plunging their hands into the mix all around you.
