Sarah jumped in shock at the voice that popped out of nowhere. It was a small faint thing, but it was still there.

Inside the ear, Adam was shaken from this simple act and fell to the ground of the ear. As he rose to his feet, he suddenly fell back down as a mighty boom shook the world around him.

WHO'S THERE?

Adam eventually got back to his feet from the ringing and the constant swaying as the colossus turned her head looking for the source of the voice. He grabbed the flesh to steady himself and shouted out again.

ADAM. A MICROPUTIAN IN YOUR EAR.

He waited a bit to see if she'd respond.

IN MY EAR?

YES?

WHAT IS A MICROPUTIAN DOING IN MY EAR?

THAT'S A LONG STORY MAAM. I LEFT HOME LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE AND IT FOUND ME.

There was a long pause then as the massive woman thought about how to proceed then.

I'M SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A RUN OF BAD LUCK.

THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT, MAAM.

SARAH. SARAH LASSON.

Another awkward pause followed.

SO MS. LASSON. WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO NOW?

I... I DON'T KNOW. I'M USED TO TALKS WITH SMALLER RACES BUT... HOW DID YOU END UP ON ME?

FROM THAT GULLIVERIAN YOU SPOKE TO JUST NOW.

WAIT YOU WERE THERE!?

YES I WOUND UP IN HER MOUTH AND ESCAPED WHILE SHE SPOKE TO YOU.

HER MOUTH!?

Adam again covered his ears from the vibrations.

WELL ADAM, ON BEHALF OF MY FRIEND. I APOLOGIZE. I ASSURE YOU SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT HAD SHE KNOWN.

I'M SURE.

Another pause. The Brobdingnagian remembered where she was and what she had to do.

SO LITTLE MAN. I ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING WITH THE PRODIGIAN PRIME MINISTER OF THIS REGION. IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THAT, WE CAN DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH YOU. WHO KNOWS? I MIGHT EVEN INTRODUCE YOU.

Adam was shocked. A real life Prodigian? A Prime Minister of all things? He never imagined he'd get a chance like this. He shouted out his acceptance.

Sarah walked onwards, her mind going back to the miniscule speck in her ear. As a diplomat she had seen Microputians in the past but for one to survive a trip inside the mouth of a Gulliverian? That was something she'd never heard of.

She walked past the multitude of office supplies to which she appeared an inch tall and followed the marked walkway to a group of seats.

She sat down and waited for the prime minister. She knew the purpose of her visit, but couldn't help wondering if the little Microputian deserved an audience as well.
