Hey Jude (Patreon)

It was a Friday afternoon. School was out, many  were getting off work, and the mall was absolutely slammed. Thousands of  people packed tightly inside the corporate monolith, going about their  shopping and eating.

Jude had been  there half an hour, awaiting her girlfriends who’d gotten stuck in  traffic on their way to meet her. She quickly grew tired of walking  around alone, though, electing to sit on a bench outside a vacant  storefront.

The young woman sighed,  laying her legs out. Thinking to get a little more comfortable, she  removed her boots and socks and laid them beside her feet.

What she was unaware of, however, was the vagrant mant that already resided atop the bench.

The massive, black boot tipped over top him, his life narrowly spared by crouching beneath a groove.

The mant could only gasp in fear at his near death experience. Someone had to scold the giant, and it was to be him.

He  crawled out from underneath her boot, past her odorous sock and within  full view of her. A towering, sweat-pecked sole to his left, the other  foot laying dormant to his right. He waved his arms back and forth  yelling, but it was no use. The giant could not hear him.

Angered,  he stormed up to the woman’s heel and kicked it with all his might.  Granted, he didn’t have much might, but it was enough for Jude to feel  him.

“The fuck—” She mumbled, dashing her eyes away from her phone.

Jude  leaned forward, tilting her foot to see the source of the poke. A tiny,  naked mant. Mooching off of the denizens of the mall, no doubt.

“Oh,” she sighed, her demeanor changing. “Thought an insect bit me or something.”

Her  huge fingers lunged forward past her foot, clutching the tiny person  between them. The mant tried to yelp and struggle in protest, but she  had him.

Jude brought him to her  lips as she scrolled endlessly on her phone. They separated, revealing a  deep void just past her salivating tongue.

“NO, NO, NO, NOT LIKE—”

Pop.

Unceremoniously, she dropped him in her mouth and swallowed. Eaten alive.

Her phone dinged, and a text notification dropped onto the screen.

“We’re here, girl!” It said.

She put her socks and boots back on and went to the mall entrance, excited to finally start the day.
