Madeline's hand tore into the Williams' former residence like a bulldozer, unaware that the house wasn't completely vacant. As the giant woman ripped off the roof dust and debris rained down inside temporarily clouding her view. When the dust settled Madeline swore she spotted movement down below.
"Well...Well...Well. What do we have here?"
Madeline reached inside and moved a piece of drywall to reveal an elderly woman cowering in the corner of what looked to be a spare bedroom.
The poor thing couldn't have been younger than 75. She was covered in dust and had a vacant stare plastered on her face. Despite it being nearly one in the afternoon the old woman was dressed in a white nightgown and tiny slippers adorned her feet. Her white hair was full of pink curlers and the tiniest pair of spectacles sat on her nose. She clearly had been jarred awake by Madeline's arrival.
"Oh I'm sorry. Did I wake you? How rude of me." Madeline said in a mocking tone.
As she looked down the giant woman noticed a large part of the ceiling had fallen directly onto the bed, caving it in.
"I guess this is your lucky day. Hold still I want to get a better look at you."
The old woman said nothing as the giant thumb and forefinger snatched the back of her nightgown and lifted her out of the house.
Madeline brought the frail woman to eye level to inspect her. After noticing she was covered in dust the giant woman puckered her lips and blew. The gale force wind of Madeline's stale breath mixed with dust resulted in the tiny figure having a coughing fit so dire that Madeline feared the little thing may keel over right there dangling from her fingers tips. When the elderly woman's hacking finally ceased Madeline decided to find out a little more about her little stowaway.
"I don't think we've ever met. I'm Madeline. I was your neighbor now...I guess I'm your new owner. What's your name dear?"
"Beatrice." The old woman managed to stutter out. "What's going on? Why are you so huge?Where's my daughter and her husband?" The old woman asked.
"Lots of questions. Well Beatrice, what's going on is that I'm in charge now. Ever since my family moved here everyone, including your family, have treated us like second class citizens. Due to some fortunate circumstances I was able to grow myself. Now that I'm humongous I've decided to take back the neighborhood. First on my list is this house. As for your family..."
