“You don't believe me!” Linda shouted at her husband.
“Sweetie, I believe you did see something, It's just...” Jeff
said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“No! I know exactly what I saw and you refuse to listen like
usual!”
“Sweetie, you're not seeing a UFO. It's either a drone or some
kind of projection, maybe like an advertising blimp.”
“Don't sweetie me! I know what I've been seeing.” She moved
over to the window and looked out at the oranges with pale purple of
the dusk sky. Leaning out of the window to their apartment, the
blonde took in the sight of the city in the immediate vicinity. Then
her vision traveled to the forest nearby, where the mysterious vessel
would travel then disappear into. Putting his hands up and then
dropping them, Jeff went over and plopped onto the couch. Trying to
disconnect from the argument by watching the same sports highlights
that had been on all day long. Looking back inside at her husband, he
pretended not to notice. After so many years of marriage, Linda had
hoped that at least this man would believe her. But nobody did,
everyone rudely dismissed the story. How she hated the city.
Something about the busy metropolis seems to turn people bitter and
uncaring.
She let out a huff and went into the kitchen. A crinkling package
in hand, she ate a few too many cookies. The counters were nice and
clean, and she reorganized several appliances. Moving little trinket
decorations for no reason. Looking up and seeing him sitting there
like a bump on a couch, she shook her head. Why couldn't he be
supportive right now? Why couldn't he be better? A glass of water in
hand she walked back over to the window and stared up at the night
sky. The Moon and two planets were the only things bright enough to
compete with the city's light pollution. Her eyes bulged as the
familiar multicolored saucer-shaped phenomenon appeared.
“There it is! There it is!” The shout startled her husband
bolting up from the sofa.
“What? What is...”
“Grab your car keys. I'm going to show you this time!” Her
intensity told him to listen. Jeff pocketed what they needed for a
drive haphazardly. Not even grabbing her purse, the blonde bolted
through the door and started racing down flights of stairs. Her
husband struggled to keep up. He unlocked their electric vehicle from
the passenger side as she jumped into the driver's seat. Pushing the
start button and peeling out of the parking garage the car took to
the streets. He was slightly panicked with how much she bobbed and
weaved around traffic. Barely keeping eyes on the road, her head
peered towards the sky constantly.
“Sweetie, can you please be careful I really need...” then he
saw it too. Moving with an unnatural zigzag pattern toward the
forest, pale blue, green, and yellow lights adorned the UFO. Her foot
became lead, the car revved to unsafe speeds. She had to see where
this thing was going. Getting closer and closer to it, Linda couldn't
help but smile.
“I told you! I told you! Maybe now you'll listen to me more in
the future.” Mouth hanging open, he looked to his wife and then
back at the impossible sight speechless. “Quick! Get your phone
out, take some pictures, a video maybe!”
“I forgot to grab my phone. We sort of left in a hurry.” One
hand on the wheel and wiggling with great discomfort, she pulled a
smartphone from the back pocket and handed it to him. Her heartbeat
raced even faster as they drew even closer to the aircraft. “It's
locked, what's your code?” he asked.
“It's our wedding anniversary, I told you that before.” He
paused for a moment. “Seriously?!” She spit the word out.
“No, hang on, I just had to think for a second... God, give me a
break.” She rolled her eyes before refocusing on how close they
were. He pointed the phone up, just as the craft released a shockwave
of crackling green electricity. Instantly the phone and the vehicle
went dark. Slowly losing speed before stopping altogether, they sat
puzzled. Opening the car, Linda leapt out stopping a few paces in
front of their vehicle.
“Sweetie! Where you going?” Jeff called out after her lagging
behind but eventually joined. The massive spaceship loomed above,
directly over the top of her. Mouth hanging open she stared up at it
as if looking for more direction. He looked to the ship then back to
his wife then back again about to make a motion toward her. Suddenly,
there was a flash of neon green light that enveloped her. An eerie
thrum of energy sounded until it boomed like the shockwave that
disabled the devices. Linda vanished instantly.
“Sweetie!” He reached out at the empty space. The electric
thunder rang out again and she appeared once more. The UFO rocketed
off at impossible speed, only leaving a streak of light behind it.
The blonde could not have been more disheveled, stunned, and shaking
in place. Hair a disaster, clothes tattered and stained. She found
her husband's eyes and whimpered.
“How... how did you find me?”
“What... What do you mean... What...”
“I was... I was gone for weeks... they... they...” He rushed
up and embraced her.
“Let's get you home. We'll tell somebody about this, but first
let's get you home.” Jeff ushered her to the passenger side.
Luckily, the car started and he drove them home in stunned silence.
Back at the apartment he walked her to a chair and fetched a glass of
water. Phone in hand now, he plopped in his usual indented cushion.
Staring at the screen his mind reeled with everything that happened.
Who did you call in case of alien abduction and return? Who would
listen? Who would believe? It fell out of his hands onto the floor.
He looked back up at his trembling wife. Regaining composure, her
forehead wrinkled and eyes narrowed.
“Yeah... I was seeing things.”
“I'm...” He had tried to apologize but jumped back almost
tilting the sofa over at the sight that unfolded. An arc of neon
green energy bounced off her arm and popped the light bulb of a
nearby lamp. Another one escaped her leg and cracked the TV with a
hiss. She rose up while several other sparks emanating from her body
blackened and burned areas in the apartment. The next thing she knew,
the world was shrinking. Both of them unable to articulate, her
wardrobe strained and gave way to her expanding body with awful
tearing sounds. Jeff stared up at her while her head collided with
the ceiling.
“Ahhh!” She fell onto all fours, mystified that her husband
was at eye level currently. But not for long. Her nude form filled
the room, feet knocking over a bookshelf. The blonde couldn't stop
her elbow from knocking pictures off the wall with the sounds of
breaking glass. In a desperate attempt to keep backing up, he did
finally fall backward tipping the sofa in the process. With the wind
knocked out of his body, no sounds escaped to try as he might.
Although he certainly wanted to, as his wife's ever-expanding chest
began to smother the tiny man. There was more Linda than air in their
apartment because of her rapid growth... Which actually accelerated.
The floorboards begin to creek and crack as they bowed from the
uncharacteristic weight that they had to maintain. The giantess let
out groans of agony. Head pressed into the corner, her neck bent
uncomfortably. Walls bending and braking they couldn't hold her, but
gravity still did. The floorboards and support beams ruptured with
loud snaps like massive tree trunks breaking in a hurricane. Both of
them fell. The growing woman found some brief release from the
structure trying to contain her. However, Jeff found himself trapped
further into warm supple cleavage. A foot and a hand finding the
floor under theirs, this one collapsed much faster. The next succumb
to the giantess's weight and rubble in even less time. The fourth and
fifth didn't stand a chance against the foot almost as big as an
apartment now. Her torso crashed through and effortlessly annihilated
other apartments around them. The screams certainly were there, but
couldn't compete with the sounds of calamity Linda now perpetrated.
The whole ordeal was a blur as with the final booming sounds of
destruction, she found herself outside.
Her expanding body taking the path of least resistance while it
fell, meant the brick wall to the outside world didn't stand a
chance. Dust and debris falling away, she slowly rose to her feet.
Cars honked, swerving out of the way and around the nude woman's
feet. The tiny husband, a captive of cleavage, struggled to look up
at the face of his ever-expanding woman. Linda drank in the
surroundings. Standing in the street, the giantess already had more
height than if she was looking out the window of the apartment that
no longer existed. And still... Her growth rate picked up even more
speed.
100 ft... 150 ft...
A big grin spread as she casually placed her hands on her hips.
200 ft... 250 ft...
"Well then... If nobody would pay attention to me earlier...
Then maybe I should give them something to pay attention to now..."
