Climb up Carolyn
A Tiny Child Chapter 4

As your mother and Elizabeth exchange pleasantries you quickly recover from your dazed state and decide you better try sticking close to your mother, mindful of her earlier warning about avoiding any embarrassing accidents. You thought it was a bit ironic, how despite she held you tighter in the end you ended up falling the moment she rose up to greet the doctor, maybe you can joke about her clumsiness later.


You waste no time and quickly grab onto Carolyn's heeled shoe that accentuated even more her towering height. Having already done this quite a few times you find no problem finding the right places to put your hands and climb until reaching the softer surface in the bridge of her left foot and continue your advance, using the threads of Carolyn's pants to keep ascending. With your expertise and your small size it wasn't that different from your typical normal sized climbing net.


While you keep climbing you think about how at this point either Carolyn or Elizabeth should have noticed you weren't anywhere near the purse, but it seemed they were engrossed on some good gossip the way they didn't care about the reason for this periodic appointment. You shake your head and keep going thinking now maybe this could be for the best, now instead of making another scene with your doctor you could reach the purse back in time and prove your mother you behaved as she wanted, and after the appointment you could tell her off for getting up so quickly from the chair knowing it always ends with you falling down. 


"Hopefully she realizes what's going on, God knows she needs the help. But let's get to business shall we?" Elizabeth said and you picked up the pace, still halfway there because of the obvious problem, you were so small and your mother was so tall even if you have made this climb a thousand times it would always take you a good couple of minutes to at least reach her hips.


The slight movement of Carolyn's legs as she reaches for where you were supposed to be told you time was up, but you keep climbing anyway.


"Alright, Jake? Where did he go? I swear he was here" You can hear Carolyn's underlying frustration, but you know she won't get mad if you were close enough so you keep going.


What happens next?
