You're not going to repeat that experience any time soon. No, what you need is to rest somewhere, gather what little strength you have, and plan on how to undo this hideous condition.

Underneath the nearest stall seems to be the best place. The feet of giants trample past outside in all directions, occassionally stopping by to face you as their owner peruses the services on offer.

They're all so BIG! Contacting them at your scale will be a nightmare. Even the children - and there are a lot of children out there - could crush you underfoot without even noticing.

Feet are out. Too painful. That leaves two alternatives. You could wait here - however long it takes - for a person to have some reason to stoop or bend down near your hiding place (a dropped purse or wallet, an undone shoelace) and then run up to them. Or, you could try and get to some higher ground by scaling this cart. It shouldn't be too hard.

No, it will be hard. It'll probably be the most gruelling experience you've ever been through, but at least it'll work to your timetable, rather than relying on the accident of another. An accident that may never happen, for all you know.
