History Class
A Tiny Child Chapter 4
History and Theory of Tiny/Normal Coexistence...

You are late to school despite mom's rushing, so there are very few people in the halls besides you, tiny or otherwise. You're constantly looking behind you to check for any normals behind you – a habit you learned quickly when you first came here. You've heard several stories from people you know about being stepped on, though nobody's ever been killed, you don't think.
