This fucking sucked. She was a goddamn human being, not a... a lab experiment! Who the hell did Debbie think she was?! Her boss or not, if Irina got out of this alive she was going to sue the head nurse for every penny she could get.
Irina had come to work expecting a day much like any other.
Instead of a nice, normal day of work- which usually wasn't relaxing, given that she was a nurse at a major hospital- it was at least normal. Right now, surrounded by the wet, fleshy cocoon of this little brat's small intestine and in total darkness, she felt more like a victim in a horror movie!
It wasn't so tight that she felt like she'd get stuck- which would've been absolute hell in this environment- but Irina still felt very claustrophobic. The only light she could get was from the light on her smartphone, and what it showed her...
Well, the insides of Abbey's small intestines sure weren't pleasant to look at, to put it lightly.
And if she'd interpreted that noise she'd heard in the background of her call (what might've been her last call) correctly, the fucking brat had been laughing at the thought of shitting her out! She was a human being, and here her boss and her patient were treating her like a fucking toy!
Oh, noooo, she wasn't going out this little girl's ass. Irina would rather die than be subjected to that humiliation.
That left her one option; to get back up to the stomach. For whatever reason, the stomach acids hadn't had any affect on her. She had no idea why, but Irina wasn't complaining. It just meant that she could wait it out in the stomach. At some point, she'd wait for the kid to get sick, and then Abbey would cough her up. It wasn't much of a plan, but then Irina wasn't in position to be picky.
She'd only just been pulled into the small intestine, and contrary to what Debbie, Abbey, and her parents thought, Irina hadn't just decided to 'go with the flow.' She was still here, at the sphincter separating the stomach and the small intestine, and given her tiny size- half a centimeter- Irina was reasonably confident that she could squeeze back into the stomach.
It took a bit of elbow grease and some hard effort on her part, but Irina was able to squeeze back through the sphincter, which immediately closed up again behind her. Irina floundered in the pool of foul liquid at the bottom of the stomach, but was able to pull herself to the surface on the now mostly-digested mound of cheerios. Odd that the cheerios were clearly dissolving in the acid, but Irina herself was unaffected. Not like she really cared. Now that she wasn't at risk of being sucked down Abbey's intestines, Irina had a bit more time to think over her situation.
Her phone still worked, having somehow avoided whatever damage the acid could've done, but... Debbie was nuts if she thought Irina was going to call her again! And... she couldn't really call anyone else for help. Who the hell would believe her story?! Irina sighed, feeling very depressed. She was on her own.
What had she done to deserve this fate? Did Debbie even know that Irina was unaffected by the stomach acid of Abbey? Or had she just gone ahead and let the little girl swallow her without a care in the world?
If Irina had been digested by Abbey, then technically that would make Debbie a murderer. Or guilty of manslaughter, at the very least, for willingly sending Irina into an extremely-unsafe area.
Irina swore if she got out of this girl's gut alive, Debbie would regret the choices she'd made today.
A buzz from her phone caught her attention.
Great, now what was Debbie asking for...
Irina's eyes widened. That buzz hadn't been a text from her boss.
It hadn't been a text at all.
The color drained from her face, leaving her bone white in the face at the words on the screen of her smartphone.
<<<Battery low. Switch to low power mode?>>>
No. NO!
Irina barely resisted the urge to yell in rage and hurl her phone away. This just wasn't fair! Of all the goddamn days to forget to charge her phone!
Even on battery saver mode, the flashlight would eat up the remaining battery life. And once her phone's battery was dead, Irina would be screwed. She'd be alone in this hot, humid, stinking pit of flesh with no light, no way of contacting anybody for help... and the only people who knew she was in here would probably hide her disappearance from the authorities. Her parents would never see her again. Her boyfriend would never hug her again. All of her dreams would be swept aside and forgotten.
All because her gigantic asshole of a boss had thought for some inane reason she'd make for a good science project to show off in front of a random couple and their lying, probably spoiled daughter.
Irina shuddered, not from fear, but from rage.
But what could she do? She was too small to vent that rage in a meaningful way; Abbey probably wouldn't feel a thing even if Irina exhausted herself punching and kicking the walls of the stomach, and Debbie was untouchable.
The momentary rage left her, and Irina buried her face in her hands, feeling exhausted more than anything else right now.
-------------
"Ugh... Wha-" Irina groaned, blinking and groaning. Something had changed inside the stomach. There was a strange light shining all around her; not one from her phone (which Irina checked on instinct, and found was stone dead by now), but rather a dull, pale light shining from Irina herself!
"The fuck?" Irina muttered, stretching her arms out and staring at them. Her bare arms were somehow producing light, and even through the fabric of her hospital-issued work attire she could see a faint light under the cloth.
"Did that damn shrink ray do this, to?" Irina wondered. Questions for later. Right now she was just happy to have some kind of light in here now that her phone was dead.
Looking around in the pale light her apparent bio-luminescence provided, Irina realized something else had changed inside the stomach.
Had she fallen asleep or something? Or passed out into unconsciousness somehow? Time seemed to have passed, but how much she wasn't sure.
The cheerios were all gone by now, but... Irina frowned, something else had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
On a whim, Irina stuck her head into the pool of stomach juices, wondering if she'd see something else that Abbey had swallowed.
"Blrble!" A large air bubble left Irina's mouth as she recoiled in shock, standing back up out of the pool. She'd intended on diving down to the bottom of the small pool, but...
The pool was a lot smaller than she remembered. When she'd first landed in it, and again when she'd squeezed back into the stomach from the small intestine, it had been large enough that she'd had to swim up to the surface to avoid drowning.
Now, though?
The 'pool' of stomach juices that Irina had though was several times deeper than her body was maybe as deep as she was tall.
A sudden... vibration (Irina wasn't sure how else to put it) struck Irina, almost as if she was having a sudden seizure. Crying out, she lost her balance and fell over... landing with a small splash in a pool that was now waist deep at most.
Looking around in shock, Irina could right away tell that her surroundings- the fleshy walls of the stomach- were much closer to her now, compared to when she'd first entered the stomach. Abbey's stomach had been... well, not cavernous, but big enough that Irina could've swum around in the pool of stomach juices and not hit either side of the stomach even after a few backstrokes.
Now, however, the walls of the stomach were so close to her that if she stretched both arms out, she'd be almost touching both sides at the same time.
In other words...
"I'm... I'm growing?" Irina didn't know what to say- on one hand, she was elated that the shrink ray her boss had somehow found didn't have a permanent effect on her. On the other hand... What the hell was going to happen to her if she started growing bigger while still inside Abigail?
Another jolt ran through her, just as strong as the previous one, and now Irina was forced to tuck her arms as there wasn't enough room in the stomach for her to keep them stretched out.
--------------------
"Abbey? Sweetie, what's wrong?" Morgan asked her daughter. Abigail had an odd look on her face, the previously smug cute smile she'd had on her face at the thought of that lady squirming inside of replaced with a confused one.
"I don't know, mom... I feel..."
Abbey's sentence was cut off as a loud burp escaped her lips. Travis ignored it while Morgan sighed.
"Abbey, sweetie... please, mind your manners in public."
1) Debbie comes back to check on Abbie and her parents yet, expecting Irina to have 'passed' by now.
2) Abbey asks her parents to take her to the hospital's cafeteria, thinking that the gassy, almost bloated feeling inside of her tummy will pass if she eats something.
3) Another young woman arrives, this person being the nurse Debbie sent to monitor Abbey.
