Two years. That's how long I must be missing by now. Nobody knows where I am and what happened to me, except for one person: the girl I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with. I never thought I would be spending my days with her in this particular way though…
My story starts when I was 19 years old. There was nothing really noteworthy about me; I was going to college and regularly spent time with friends and family in the weekends. One of these weekends changed everything. While attending a party thrown by my best friend, I noticed how one of the guests continuously intrigued me. A girl of around my age was sitting in the garden, talking with one of my friends and enjoying her drink. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her when I noticed her, you could say it was love on first sight. Her straight, dark blonde hair hung over her right shoulder and along her back while a soothing, late-summer breeze tugged at it in a gentle manner. When I saw my friend stand up and headed inside, I knocked back my drink and stood up to inquire about the girl that piqued my interest.
"Jason, hold up. Is that girl outside your new girlfriend?" I casually asked with a playful smile.
"Girlfriend? No man, that's my niece, Ida." Jason laughed. "Haven't you met her yet? I could introduce you to her if you'd like."
"Oh, well… Okay, I guess?" I answered, not expecting what Jason proposed.
"She's very chill, I'm sure you'll like her." Jason said while signaling me to follow him.
After standing up and stepping outside, a knot formed in my stomach. I suddenly got nervous when I was about to meet this gorgeous girl, which was not very surprising in hindsight. I took a deep breath and straightened my posture before Jason started speaking with Ida to introduce me.
"Hey Ida, I want you to meet someone. This is Alex. Alex, this is Ida." Jason spoke as he took a step back to let us shake each other's hand.
"Hi Ida, nice to meet you." I said with my friendliest face, trying not to squeeze her hand too hard.
"Hi Alex, nice to meet you too." Ida replied while shaking my hand in a gentle and elegant manner.
"I've known Alex since middle school, I'm sure you two will get along. Anyway, I'm heading back inside for another drink, I'll speak to you both later." Jason said before leaving Ida and me alone.
"So, uh… what do you do?" I asked, still trying to calm my nerves.
"Well, I'm sitting here, enjoying my drink and the party, you know." Ida answered with an almost smug smile.
"Ah, yes, I see..." I said a little caught off guard. "I meant in your daily life, actually." I quickly added after a little sliver of uneasiness made me look down at the ground. I noticed Ida's shoes; a pair of relatively worn, black Vans. I briefly glanced at her ankles before realizing I was still having a conversation with this girl, I couldn't just stare at her shoes.
"I work in a clothing store downtown. I took a gap year after high school to save up some money." Ida replied after letting out a little chuckle. "What about you?"
"I'm in college studying human resources, so nothing special really." I answered, feeling my nerves finally calm down.
What followed was a night-long conversation. Before we knew it, the party neared its end and without hesitation I asked for her number and if she wanted to hang out the next day. She happily agreed and when we both went our separate ways home, I couldn't believe I felt a sense of chemistry between us two.
The day felt long, very long, before I would go out to pick up Ida in the early evening for our date. As I made myself ready, a strange and hazy feeling swirled through my head. No idea what it could have been, I paid it little mind and headed out to Ida's house. I was hoping her parents wouldn't answer the door as I didn't really feel like meeting her mom or dad on our first date. With a mix of confidence and excitement I knocked on the front door, only to be overwhelmed by a sudden wave of physical discomfort; the hazy feeling was back, accompanied by dizziness and an unfamiliar pain in my muscles all over my body. I started to panic for a few seconds before my vision went completely dark and I passed out.
I wasn't unconsciousness for long, I think, as I opened my eyes just a few moments before the front door I knocked on was being opened. I barely had a moment to understand what had happened to me when a strong flow of air sucked me past the doorstep into the hallway of Ida's house and threw me down on the floor. Disoriented, I took a quick look around and noticed how everything was much… bigger. I was still not able to get the bigger picture at that time.
"Huh? Alex?" a female voice loudly echoed around me.
That was when I got the bigger picture. I turned around and almost passed out again when I saw Ida. She wasn't the girl I met the day before: a slim, relatively short girl. What I saw was a girl the size of giant, looking taller than a mountain. She stood in the door's opening looking outside, obviously confused as she looked around to see who knocked on the door.
"I-Ida…" I mumbled in utter disbelief and shock as I tried to slowly stand up.
A chilly sensation crept along my body before I noticed how I was completely naked. In the far distance I saw Ida kneeling down and picking up what seemed to be my clothes. She must have been even more confused at that point. When Ida closed the door and turned around, I quickly became aware of the fact I was right in the middle of the hallway. Heavy tremors shook the floor and my body when Ida took a step in my direction, her giant shoe crashing down with the force to destroy an entire city block, from my perspective at least. I started running toward the closest wall, hoping to make it in time before I would find out how fragile my body was at my new size.
"Whose clothes are these? And where is Alex? Is this some kind of joke...?" Ida's voice thundered through the air with a questioning tone.
Another tremor almost made me lose my balance when Ida took another step, coming closer at an incredible speed. My muscles felt like they would rip themselves apart and my breathing became heavier and heavier as I ran for my life. When I couldn't run anymore, I jumped forward and fell down on the floor with my eyes pointed at Ida's feet. The Vans she was wearing were the same as the day before, only being a thousand times bigger. I watched as the giant girl took another step on her path forward, the bottom of her shoe menacingly coming down toward me. I cowered in fear and closed my eyes, expecting this to be the end. I had no idea how I ended up in this situation and my life was about to end beneath the Vans of the girl I had a crush on. An ear-deafening bang followed after I felt my body become weightless. I opened my eyes and saw the extremely large shoe standing right in front of me. I had no time to either fear or admire the gigantic piece of footwear as the following displacement of air blew me away from Ida's foot. With a rough landing I fell on the floor and sat up to watch Ida's gigantic form walk away into the living room.
"Fuck… This must be a nightmare…" I quietly said to myself while catching my breath.
The loud, banging footfalls of Ida's shoes hitting the floor slowly faded until they stopped altogether. I was still sitting on the wooden floor of the hallway and took the chance to take in my surroundings and try to make sense of this situation. Shrinking to the size of a bug was something I heard of before in stories that were widely considered to be hoaxes, but now it seemed they were actually real. That was also all I knew; I had no idea how to reverse the shrinking or what I should do at that moment. After slowly getting back up, I hesitated a short moment to venture deeper into the house. I couldn't just stay in the hallway and wait for an opportunity to go outside, that would certainly become the death of me. Scared and still a little confused I walked toward the living room, hoping to get a shot at getting Ida's attention.
"I hope this will work out, I need her help." I thought on my way across the vast, wooden floorboards.
With only being an inch tall, the trek to the living room was a long one. Immediately I noticed Ida sitting on the couch, texting on her phone. Her now giant size didn't detract from my crush on her, so I made a short stop to admire her. I liked what she was wearing, even if it was just a casual combination of a sleeveless shirt and short, tight jeans. The Vans that almost crushed me earlier were lying on the floor, with Ida's sock-clad feet now exposed. I felt so small as I quietly watched Ida, mesmerized by our difference in size.
"Ida… I'm so sorry to disappoint you like this… I just hope I can get your attention so I can explain and make it right." I softly spoke as if I was talking to the colossal girl.
I realized she probably hated me at that moment after I never showed up for our date. The thought gave me some determination to continue and make her notice me. With my chin up I set out toward Ida's feet but it didn't take long before I hit a wall. Not just a physical wall, it was a wall of… smell. When I came close to one of the kicked-off Vans, the air became thicker and noticeably smellier. The shoe had landed on its side with its large, gaping mouth pointing straight at me. I noticed before that the shoes weren't that new anymore and were pretty beat up, making the dark interior of the footwear look even less inviting. Yet there was this strange fascination with the fact that it was Ida's shoe. The air around the shoe was filled with a strong and stuffy smell of rubber and sweat, though it also carried hints of something sweet and corny. For a brief moment I hesitated to continue on toward Ida's feet or if I should take a closer look at the massive Vans.
--
My eyes were focused on the shoe in front of me. The warm, smelly air that emanated from the large opening wasn't particularly pleasant, but my curiosity demanded to take a closer look. I started walking in the direction of Ida's worn Vans while I, strangely enough, became slightly turned on. I was surprised by this new kind of lust as I had never thought of myself as a foot guy. But this wasn't just an ordinary shoe, no, it was a giant shoe that belonged to one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen. The strong smell washing over me was the product of my crush's feet and that made the entire experience much more thrilling and exciting.
After a few minutes I reached the mouth of Ida's shoe, the air now being much harder to breath and noticeably humid. A small amount of hesitation tried to steer me away from what I would encounter in the interior of a giant, teen girl's Vans, but I shook it off and stepped inside. As the shoe was lying on its side, I headed further in and found myself in front of a huge wall that was the shoe's insole. A big, dark area marked the spot where Ida's heel would rest and with a trembling hand I touched the spongy surface. The worn fabric felt greasy and damp, my hands getting wet with foot sweat when I pressed them into the soft material. My nose was filled with an intense and almost acidic smell, making me wonder how long I could stay inside the shoe without damaging my health.
"I hope you don't mind me being in here Ida…" I softly spoke before taking a step back and turning toward the deeper parts of the shoe.
I decided to head deeper into Ida's sneaker and see what else I would find. The unnatural cave became increasingly darker and the smell definitely didn't get milder. I was really enjoying the moment, how unusual and surreal it may have seemed; not everyone could say they explored the worn footwear of a gigantic, cute girl who had no idea of your presence. As I moved deeper into the dark, the overwhelming smell of Ida's feet that lingered around me started to grow on me. Perhaps I had a fetish for feet all along without knowing it. With every step I took, it became harder to discern where I was as the light that came in from the shoe's mouth behind me faded away. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could discern the various marks on the insole beside me. I had reached the end of the shoe's interior with the black and grayish imprints of Ida's toes neatly aligned above me on the fabric.
"Woah… Her toes must be so big..." I whispered to myself in astonishment.
I could barely reach the third toe imprint in the row that went from small to big. Comparing myself to the smallest spot, I realized how I was even smaller than most of Ida's toes. To still my burning curiosity, I closed my eyes and nervously leaned forward to plant my face and lips on the sweat-soaked spot that Ida's smallest toe had created through intensive wear. I took a deep breath and stuck out my tongue to lick the greasy fabric. A sweet yet sour smell of sweat shot through my airways and my tongue was met by a slightly bitter and mostly salty taste. A little surprised by this overwhelming of my senses, I stepped back and gagged. On the one hand it was utterly disgusting, but on the other hand it was oddly sensual and exciting. I felt ashamed of my weird action, luckily no one would ever know.
"Idaaaa!" a booming, female voice called out of nowhere.
"Yeah?!" Ida's voice responded, even louder.
"I forgot something at the store, would you mind getting it for me?"
"Okay mom, what do you need?"
My body froze at the spot while listening to the conversation between Ida and, most probably, her mom. I realized too late I found myself in the worst position for this scenario when the entire shoe I was inside of was violently jolted around without warning. I crashed into the insole which had now turned into the floor of the dark, dank cave. In a desperate attempt to get out and bring myself to safety, I made a mistake by quickly running toward the shoe's mouth. Halfway there I was greeted by the most terrifying view I had ever seen: Ida's giant foot, still clad in a black ankle sock, ready to enter her shoe.
"Oh my god… No, Idaaa!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I needed a second to stop cowering in fear while admiring the girl's godlike, almost majestic foot and turned around to run for my life. If I wasn't fast enough, I would have been pushed over by Ida's sole which would have crushed and ground me into the insole. Though I was mesmerized by her giant foot and shoe, I definitely wasn't ready to die and become a permanent stain on the dirty insole of an eighteen-year-old girl. Luckily, I reached the toe section of the sneaker just in time with Ida's toes settling on the imprints I was admiring before. There was not much space for me to move around and the little space that I had was now devoid of light. Everything that was happening made me scared to death; I had no idea what to do and how to avoid slipping underneath Ida's massive, socked toes. Besides the risk of getting crushed, the air in the cramped space around me became increasingly hotter and humid now that Ida was wearing the shoe.
"It's so… h-hot…" I mumbled while trying to fight the inhumane conditions I found myself in.
I couldn't just pass out, that would be certain death. Without a clue on what to do, I decided to find a spot to sit out the ride. I crawled forward to the massive toes and pulled myself up on top of them, my naked body sliding along the smooth, damp fabric of Ida's giant ankle sock. The sensation was so arousing that I was about to burst, but I knew I had to stay focused in order to survive. A sudden rumbling was the prelude to Ida's first step, which was followed by a strong thrust forward which almost threw me off of the giantess' toes. A loud bang marked the shoe hitting the floor and shook my entire body before the forward motion repeated itself. As Ida headed out to the store, I held on tight to the sock's fabric which became more damp by the minute.
"Please, hurry up!" was all I could say and think in my desperation.
The wild ride didn't take very long, but felt like an eternity of torment. The thick, moist air and staggering smell being produced by Ida's foot became unbearable as time progressed, almost making me faint a few times. When I was about to give up and let go of the sock, everything stopped and became quiet. I held my breath in anticipation of what was going to happen until Ida's foot abruptly was pulled back. From one moment to the next, I went from the confining, suffocating interior of one of Ida's sneakers to the open, bright space of what seemed like a bedroom. I filled my lungs with fresh air and kept holding on to the black sock. A quick look to my side revealed a large wooden pillar which was one of the legs of a bed. Without thinking I let go and jumped off of the foot, immediately initiating a sprint to the wooden construction. Completely out of breath and gasping for air, I collapsed and kept an eye on the massive feet I had just escaped from. Shortly after, Ida walked away and sat down at a desk, her feet shaking the ground with each footfall. I was safe again, but my giant crush was still completely unaware of my tiny existence on her bedroom floor.
Everything around me was massive. From the gigantic bed I was hiding beneath to the extremely tall wardrobe at the other side of the room. Not to mention the terrifyingly large Vans not far from where I was hiding which were still steaming hot from being worn. With a slight feeling of dread I looked at Ida's footwear and noticed the lingering smell of the giant girl's feet coming from the shoe's gaping mouth. I promised myself to never end up inside of them again and focused on the situation at hand.
"Okay… What should I do…? I can't just stay here, I need to figure out how to get back to my original size. Or do I want to stay this small? Not sure how long I will survive like this in Ida's room..." I argued with myself.
As I was coming up with a plan, I stared at the giantess sitting at her desk at the far end of the room. Even though she was relatively far away, she still seemed so big. Her long, blonde hair was hanging elegantly along her back, subtly reflecting the dimming daylight that filled her bedroom. Further down I noticed her crossed ankles, giving me clear view of one of her socked soles. With a faint desire I watched Ida's socked feet in the distance, even though I was still shaken up by my encounter with them inside her shoe.
"I… I should just get over there and try to get her attention. Besides, it'll be a great opportunity to get close to her again." I thought before setting out across the huge, open floor of the bedroom.
With my eyes focused on Ida's colossal form sitting at her desk I made my way across the floor toward her. I could mostly walk in a straight line and occasionally had to move around a pile of discarded clothing. When I finally reached the desk and the chair Ida was sitting on, I slowed my pace and took in the view of Ida's giant, socked feet. It was an astonishing view as she was still sitting with her ankles crossed under the chair. I carefully walked forward while looking up at the towering socked sole of her left foot, trying my best to not get sidetracked and keep focus on the task at hand: getting her attention.
"I made it, now what…?" I softly asked myself as I walked up to the massive toes of Ida's right foot.
Without warning the giant girl's feet suddenly started to move. I could barely react and dropped down on my stomach before Ida's feet flew over me and came down with a loud thud behind me. I slowly stood back up and turned around. It seemed Ida re-positioned herself, now sitting with her legs crossed. I realized it was now or never and ran over to her left foot which was planted flat on the floor. With all my might I started pounding on her big toe while the powerful smell of her sock washed over me.
"Idaaa! Down here! Please look down, I'm here at your foot!" I screamed as loud as I could.
At first it seemed like it had no use whatsoever as I kept slamming my fists against the damp fabric of the giant teen's sweaty sock.
"Ida I'm sorry! I don't know what happened to me! Please hear me!" I pleaded while my eyes were getting watery.
Then it finally happened. The massive foot in front of me shifted backward and an loud sound boomed down from above.
"Huh?" was the only sound Ida made when she looked down under the desk.
My heart skipped a beat when I looked up and saw Ida's eyes staring at me. I felt an incredible sense of relief, but also some kind of nervousness. Now that I finally had her attention, all I needed to do was make sure she would recognize me. I started waving with both arms and jumping up and down, hoping it would be enough for Ida to take a closer look at me. Unfortunately, what she would say next made filled me with dread.
"Is that… a bug…?" Ida's voice questioningly thundered.
Suddenly the chair Ida was sitting on scraped back and within a few seconds she was standing in front of me at her full height, looking down at me with an expression I knew was bad news.
"Yuck! Where did you come from?" the girl's voice boomed, both the meaning and loudness of her words shaking entire body.
I almost emptied my bladder out of pure fear right at the spot when I saw Ida's gigantic, socked foot rise up and hover above me. Though the view of her looming socked sole was astonishing, it marked the worst outcome of this situation I could have imagined. For a brief moment I visualized myself plastered to her sock, not alive but as a red paste of crushed, bloody remains. My eyes started to well up with tears while I stood there, frozen.
"I'm having a bad day, so… sucks to be you, bug." Ida spoke with a cold tone as she started to lower her foot at an incredible speed.
It was like my mind was shut down until the last moment when I finally snapped back to survival mode and used all my strength to jump away from the impact zone of Ida's foot. An ear-deafening bang reverberated from behind me after I hit the floor. The huge socked foot was planted down firmly, obviously with the intent to crush me into a pulp. I quickly stood back up and started waving and screaming again.
"Ida it's me! Alex! I'm not a bug! You must hear me Ida, please!"
While yelling and pleading, the shadow of Ida's foot cast over me once again. For the second time I was looking up at the huge sole of her socked foot. I was prepared to get out of the way again but I also realized I couldn't keep it up forever. The immense size difference between me and Ida meant there would be only one outcome: I would eventually become a forgettable stain on her sweaty sock. This scary realization gave me the determination to let out one final shout at the young giantess.
"Ida please stop! I'm not a fucking bug!" I howled with a hoarse throat.
I closed my eyes in anticipation of the sole crashing down on me, but by some miracle it didn't. When I slowly opened my eyes again and looked up, I saw Ida staring down at me while her foot still hovered above me.
"Did it just… talk?" Ida said with a noticeably softer, almost curious tone
--
My eyes slowly looked up at Ida's face far above me, looking down at me with a puzzled look. My heart was still racing after what I just experienced. If it wasn't for my last, desperate shout, I would have been reduced to a gory little mess entangled between the fabric's fibers of the giant girl's sock. I watched how Ida slowly lowered her foot back down to the floor, still producing a booming thud when it hit the floorboards. I flinched and ducked down when Ida suddenly knelt down to take a closer look at me.
"You're no ordinary bug… Wait, Alex? Is that you?!" Ida's echoing voice spoke, clearly surprised.
"Y-Yes! It is me! Please, Ida, you must help me! I don't know what happened to me, from one moment to the next I was-"
"I can't believe how tiny you are! Looks like all those reports about shrinking people weren't hoaxes after all." Ida said with a fascinated tone. "And that explains the clothes I found by the front door earlier…"
"Yes, it was me who rang the doorbell! I was suddenly reduced in size before you opene-" I tried explaining before Ida abruptly cut me off again with her thundering voice.
"Hold on… Is this some kind of sick joke? Was this your plan all along?"
"W-What…? What do you-"
"I mean, you're suddenly here in my bedroom and you're not just tiny, you're naked as well." Ida said, sounding increasingly more suspicious.
After she referred to me as being naked I instantly realized she was right and hid my exposed member with both of my hands. My face turned completely red with shame as I thought about what I must have looked like from Ida's perspective; a minuscule, naked guy looking up with eyes filled with pure fear and desperation. I tried explaining my predicament again to the teenage giantess, but apparently my voice simply didn't reach far enough.
"I know this must be very weird, but please listen to-"
"I think I get it now. You're just a big pervert, or in this case a tiny one. You agreed to pick me up tonight so you could shrink yourself and make your way into my house! And as if that wasn't enough for you, you somehow managed to get all the way up here in my bedroom so you could spy on me, isn't that right?!" Ida spoke with an agitated and booming voice while standing back up from her kneeling position.
"N-No! You've entirely got the wrong idea! I really have no clue as to why I-"
"I can't believe I fell for this! You seemed cute and sincere yesterday at the party, but this is just really messed up!" Ida's voice rumbled around me like rolling thunder. "You make me sick, Alex! Maybe I should crush you like a bug like I was about to do earlier!"
From almost getting crushed to finally getting recognized to being accused of the worst sin possible in this situation, I started to feel utterly hopeless. I watched in pure horror at one of Ida's socked feet lifting up into the air again, casting its shadow over me as it loomed above me like before. I dropped to my knees and felt tears rolling down my cheeks, not knowing what to do anymore. Before I could start pleading for mercy, the gigantic girl's voice roared again.
"Perverts like you shouldn't get away with things like this." Ida spoke, her voice filled with anger. "Too bad for you you're so tiny and fragile now…"
Almost immediately after Ida finished her sentence she brought her foot down on me. This time I didn't have time to react and I was pressed flat against the floor, hard. The heat and pressure were nothing like I had ever felt before, even though I was fortunate enough to be pinned down beneath her socked toes. I started squirming and gasping for air as the overwhelming scent of Ida's sweaty black ankle sock filled my lungs. The damp fabric covered my entire body and within moments my skin was coated in a layer of the teen's fresh, warm foot sweat.
"P-Pleas… ave… mer… cy… Ida!" I cried while Ida started to slowly scrunch her toes, narrowing the already little space I had.
"How you like that, little pervert boy?" Ida said with a hint of satisfaction in her voice.
With the heat and smell of Ida's foot increasing by the second, I struggled hard to keep from slipping into unconsciousness. Any attempt to crawl out of the space underneath her toes was in vain as Ida only had to adjust the position of her foot slightly to make up for the progress I made.
"Don't bother trying to escape, you're going to stay under my foot for as long as I like." Ida chuckled.
I was at my wits end, nothing I did was improving the situation. While I was fighting for my life under the enormous and sweaty, socked foot of an 18-year-old girl, all I could think about was if this was really how I would die. Eventually I just stopped struggling and accepted my fate as I was completely powerless at this pathetic, tiny size. Before my vision went black, the stuffy, hot and smelly air suddenly made way for fresh, cool air. Ida lifted up her foot and forcefully put it down beside my little form, shaking both the floor and my exhausted body.
"I've changed my mind." Ida said firmly while looking down on me with a condescending look. "You don't deserve a quick death, I think I wanna have some more fun with you first. And I don't want your disgusting blood on my sock, you don't deserve that either."
Before I could fully register what Ida just said to me I was being lifted up into the air all of a sudden. Pinched between the girl's index finger and thumb I was brought up all the way to her face.
"Oh… my… god…" I mumbled as I looked at her.
I meticulously scanned her face; the young, smooth skin, the massive, red lips, the giant, mesmerizing eyes which each looked like it was a universe of its own. At that moment I realized I was reduced to an insignificant being compared to Ida. To me, she was now a goddess.
