The robin drops her on her dad’s head The Women Are Shrinking! chapter 8 by copier · original author: inverseprime

Lauren continued to squirm as hard as she ever had, using her loose hand to punch the beak of the bird that was currently flying her to its nest. She had no plan and no instinct other than "DON'T GET EATEN" that drove her to act. Eventually, her reactions turned to be a success, as it irritated the bird enough to temporarily loosen its grasp on her, allowing her to break free.

For just a very brief second, Lauren was ecstatic that she was safe from the bird's clutches. However, it was almost immediately following that she realized the other dilemma she had neglected...she was still far up in the air, and now begun to plummet downwards. She screamed for deal life, even fruitlessly attempting to grab the far-out-of-reach bird she had just escaped from, as she begins her freefall towards her backyard.

She found herself falling longer than she expected, though whether that was due to the sheer amount of space she was falling, or if her greatly diminished structure made her lighter, she couldn't tell, though it probably was a bit of both. Either way, it was that "lightness" that was her one hope that she won't immediately splat and die, tears flowing all over her eyes and continuing to scream in terror.

Suddenly, she finds herself approaching an all-black jungle that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and before she has time to prepare, enters the expanse ramming face first into one hard tree, which proceeds to fling backward and launch her directly onto another, and another, as she is ping-ponged from tree to tree, slowly losing consciousness, until finally sliding directly down one, collapsing onto a peach-coloured ground, completely knocked out, surrounded by an endless array of these tall black trees.

Mark had arrived home early after a quick short day. After hearing about Carrie feeling sick, he wanted to quickly arrive back so he could take care and make sure she was doing alright. He also tends to be out working for long, and usually doesn't get days like this, so wanted to take the opportunity to see what everyone else was doing at this time. He first checked up on his son, Christian, who was messing around with his devices that he didn't understand. Christian seemed to react with a sigh of relief, before Mark moved on.

He looked around the house for his daughters, only for supposedly none of them to be around, apparently all having left or were already out. He then goes to see Carrie, who despite being under the weather was still out and about doing stuff. Mark had to force her to sit down and relax, especially when he realized that she was going to try going out and work on the garden. As she settled in, Carrie told him about the encounter she had with the bug that was trying to climb her, and that she dumped it in the garden, warning him to be on the lookout and be careful, which he laughed at.

He walked outside in their backyard, examining their field, looking down at the bugs, thinking back to his wife's words, and wondering what they could be thinking. He also looked up to see a bird flying right above him, moving around very haphazardly for about a minute, before eventually diving into their tree. Mark was initially confused, wondering what could've caused the bird to freak out like that, having never seen it before, but paid it no mind and turned back around.

As he head inside, he was completely unaware that deep within his scalp lay his oldest daughter, the same bug that he had just heard about, sound asleep and unbeknownst to her environment.

Lauren soon found herself rudely awoken by a deafening sound. She wasn't sure how long she was out, given the circumstances that knocked her out and how hungover she still was from the previous night, with still not having had the time to figure out where she ended up, and still not having a proper sleep.

What was her dad about to do in the outside world?
