Another Night in Zaun (Patreon)

Her skin was cold... or technically it was hot... moist and slick with sweat. She had finally been let out of Jinx's shoe. She couldn't really tell at least by the view. Her body was glued to the massive sole of her sweaty foot. She could feel the cooler air on her back... yes she must be out of the boot. She could also her them, they were speaking to each other and they seemed louder than before. She must be outside of her boot. She could move her arms or legs, she could barely shift her head from side to side. She didn't know what to do, what could she do.

She knew what she should be doing... what she was told to do. Be a good pet and good pets lick their owner's feet to show their gratitude. Her eyebrows furrowed as she took in another big breath of Jinx's toxic foot odor it was thick and warm... or maybe it was Vi's... she couldn't really tell. As her face twisted into a sour expression almost out of reflex she licked the salty foot flesh that she was adhered to. In this world there were two types of people. regular people and tinies, if you were a tiny the only thing you knew was that your life would be nothing but hell. You could be outright crushed or eaten or enslaved by anyone bigger than you simply because they were bigger than you. A stranger, your best friend, a family member, someone you worked with... it didn't matter, you didn't matter.

She tried not to think about that life, the life she had before being tiny. You see as if being born small wasn't bad enough there was this new drug that had started making it's way around the city recently. It had the adverse affect of being able to shrink anyone who was injected with it. She was one of those unlucky victims... She licked and licked at the blue haired girl's giant, sweaty, stinky sole as she tried her best to get a view of the other girl... Vi. The girl she loved. Well, it was a different kind of love now after all, she was the first one to find her when she shrunk. At first she said she would look after her, care for her, keep her safe... that's what she said but that was how long ago? four... four months? Four years ago? She started to cry again as thoughts of the life she had were even less clear to her than yesterday.... or was it yesterday, when was the last time she thought about that old life.

It was... her life right...?

She continued to lap away at Jinx's foot as her two owner's chatted with each other about something else. Jinx only occasionally poking and prodding at the girl with her big toe from her other foot. pressing her more into the wet foot that she was licking. That was good, it must mean Jinx felt her worship, that she liked it, she breathed a sigh of relief as she licked the foot. She wondered when she would get to worship Vi's feet again, even after the way Vi had been treating her... the things Vi has done to her... she still loved her... even if it was just her feet, getting to kiss her toes was still... satisfying enough. That's what Vi told her, she said that good pets have to find pleasure in serving their owners. That's all she was now... a pet, the property of Vi and Jinx... but she was someone else... she couldn't remember how long ago it was but at one time she could've sworn she was... her name was.. Ca-

"Hey Footbug! I hope you're not taking your time down there cuz ya still got plenty more sweaty feet to clean. You wouldn't want your dinner to get cold now would you?"

Jinx called down to her in a teasing tone before rubbing against the tiny girl's body with her toes.... that's who she was... she would try to remember it next time... remember.... damn it-


what was it she was thinking about...?
