Maria poked her head out the window just in time to see the delivery truck outside her house dwindle down until it the size of a small toy. Maria looked at the scene before her with a mix of astonishment and joy. This would mean so many new possibilities for her. Now everyone and everything was within her grasp. Quickly composing herself she rushed out the door to collect her first prize.
The driver was preparing to drop off the last package on his route when the stray beam from Maria's shrink ray struck his truck. Disoriented from his new tiny perspective he was shaken by a series of loud booms that seemed to be getting louder. At first he thought he was in the middle of an earthquake till it began to get dark all around him. An earthquake was possible but now an eclipse, no way. Suddenly he felt the body of his truck compress and it was slowly lifted off the ground. The driver looked out his side window only to see a tan thumb the size of a tree log resting up against the side of his truck. The massive appendage expertly manicured and with fresh coat of black polish covered his driver's side door trapping him inside as he got further away from the ground. When his ascension finally halted he was greeted with what looked like a pair of red lips that peeled back to showcase massive white teeth. The monster's pink tongue poked out of the mouth and gave the front teeth a quick swab. The rows of teeth parted and the driver felt his truck move forward. The air became humid and stale and he was soon encased in darkness.
Maria hungrily eyed the tiny truck. She had already eaten a tiny toy bus today but this time this was a real working truck that not too long ago had been driving around her neighborhood. Unable to contain her excitement in the middle of the street Maria quickly eat the delivery truck and swallowed it whole. She felt the truck travel all the way down her esophagus before coming to rest in her stomach. Patting her belly in satisfaction she went back inside. When she closed the door she got an email on her phone saying the package she had ordered was due to arrive.
Back on the bus in Maria's stomach Bianca was in full-blown panic mode. She was getting no response from her friends about getting her out and more riders succumbed to Maria's stomach acid as the bus began to submerge. Trying to block out the horrifying events around her Bianca desperately tried to think of a way out. The sound of Maria's stomach accepting a new guest shattered Bianca's concentration. She looked out the window to see a large blue truck had fallen into the acid pond spraying waves of acid throughout the chamber scalding several people seeking safety on the roof of the bus. Bianca recognized the logo on the side as one of their neighborhood delivery trucks. She didn't know if her friends had shrunk it and gotten her mom to eat it to help her but right now it was her only lifeline.
Bianca quietly snuck out the emergency exit on the back of the bus undetected. She looked out and saw that an atoll of semi-digested food had formed that made a path to the delivery truck. Deciding to take the chance she jumped out. The moment her feet landed in the gunk she could feel the ground below her sink. She ran like she never had before. With every step she thought the masticated mass would give out and drop her directly into the stomach acid. Pushing her body to exhaustion with a final leap she pulled open the driver side door just as the final mound of food gunk behind her sank below the surface.
When Bianca opened the door face down in the driver’s seat the unconscious body of the delivery worker. It seemed he had been knocked out by the fall. Bianca couldn't tell if he was alive or dead and she didn't have time to waste on him. Coldly she pushed the man's body out of the seat directly into the stomach acid. The man didn't move as the flesh was striped from his body leaving nothing but a skeleton. Bianca figured he must've been killed from the fall, at least she hoped that he had been dead. Inside the truck there was a treasure trove of brown boxes and white packages. Bianca began ripping open parcels knowing there must be something in here she can use to escape. After about a dozen packages she finally found it.
