The Early Days (Patreon)

In the early days of the shrinking virus, people all around the world kept coming home with blood marks on their shoes, it was a complete mess.

The governments didn’t know what to do, they couldn’t enforce anything, the shrunken people were practically bugs and no one could know if they were being crushed by accident or on purpose.

Some women were smart enough to see where the world is going, captured as much as they could and made them slaves, sold them, or just tortured them for fun, no one knew what to do, against it.

A group of women established “Shrunken Lives Matters” and tried to help the victims, but it was practically impossible to handle, they did what they could.

Every country acted differently.

In the US - shrunken people were considered property, therefore, crushing and killing shrunken people on purpose counted as vandalism (when it can be proven without a doubt to be on purpose), but mostly the police didn’t care about it, only when someone invested a lot of money to sue the woman who did the crime, and even there she might go with a slap on her wrist and a small compensation to the family.

The government kept asking the public to be considerate to shrunken people, to look where they are walking, “keep your eyes down” was the slogan, to try and help them, get them to the safety of their families, and at first some people actually did that, but in time everyone just lost interest, and every time you walked somewhere you could hear a *CRACK* sound of someone being squished to death, whether on purpose or by accident.
