Correction*Ken Johnson the neighbor is actually Ben Johnson. Changing the name here, and going forward.


Startled, you feel her hand reach out and grasp your own, and as the box shifts, you both pull each other to each other. This is the first time you've ever been so close to a woman, let alone one as naked as you are right now. It feels good, her skin feels warm and comforting on yours, and you feel her rest her head against your shoulder as she begins to sob.

Putting your arm around her, you feel her relax some more, and the both of you just lean against each other on the side of the box, holding each other as the box shifts and moves before finally coming to a rest with a bump, as your neighbor reaches his car. From the small air hole near where you are, you can make out the man's gigantic form as he slips into the driver's seat and for a moment, you see him glance right at you, or at least, right at the box that you are in.

You really hope that Ben Johnson is the guy you think he is, and that he will help you out, at the very least, drop you back at your own place. And now, you would have to ask him to help this young woman in your arms too, whatever else, at least she would be safe with you. Still holding her tight, you decide not to tell her just yet about your captor being your neighbor, not until you know what he has in store for you, and for her. One thing is for sure, once Ben Johnson gets home, you will be that much closer to your own home. It's a fighting chance, and one worth taking.

"What's your name?" you hear the young woman whisper through her sobs as she collects herself.

"Ken," you reply,"Ken Haley."

"Ken..." you hear her say quietly.

"I'm Sophie," she says finally, "Sophie Miller."

"Are you alright Sophie?" you ask, not knowing what else to say.

"No...not really, I'm scared. I was in that box for days and...so many people...I saw so many people get taken and boxed up and now..now I'm here..." Sophie's voice trails off as she begins to sob again.

"Hey...hey...it's okay, nothing has happened yet and we might be alright..." you say, hoping to calm her down.

"You don't get it, he's going to eat us like how the lady in the shop does, like the poster..."

"We don't know that for sure Sophie...hey come on," you say, pulling her into a hug. You don't know what else you can do, and while you know Ben, you can't be sure that he won't just do whatever he pleases with Sophie, or with you. You might be only 16, but ever since being shrunk, you've seen some messed up things happen, and heard a lot worse.

"He's going to eat us, and we're going to get digested just like all the others..." she continues, her sobs breaking into full blown tears.

"Sophie, look, whatever happens, I will be here with you okay? I won't let you go," you say as you tighten your hug and feel the young woman sink her cheek into your chest. Your heart feels like it is going to explode with sadness and fear yet, you feel strong holding her in your arms and you do your best to stay positive because whatever happens, you know that Sophie and you are going to escape the worst that fate has planned, somehow.

A loud noise interrupts your thoughts and you turn in the direction of the sound only to see...
