Thabo strolled casually down the darkening Vienna street, his massive 19-meter frame casting long shadows in the evening sun. The large colorful t-shirt fluttered in the soft breeze. The duffle bag slung over his shoulder swung lazily with each step, its contents clanking softly. His girlfriend was already waiting at the apartment they had rented for their little trip, while he had to stay at the airport for the next plane to arrive with their equipment. He was only minutes away from the apartment when a shouting voice from behind startled him. 

“Excuse us, sir, we need to talk to you.” 

The South African man stopped in his tracks. Turning around he was surprised to see the two tiny figures addressing him. The Austrian police officers had stepped out of their cruiser. Both of them women, both of them blonde. One of them was skinny and small–just small enough to fit under his dark sneakers, Thabo thought to himself—the other one was somewhat larger, at least two heads taller than her colleague, but she still barely reached Thabo’s mid-shin. 

“You are a Tourist?” The larger one asked. 

“Yes, just arrived from the airport!” The dark-skinned giant smiled at the officers. 

“Is that right.” Her expression stern. “Do you have any ID on you, your visa, anything?” While the large officer continued her interrogation, the smaller woman seemed anxious. 

“Actually, officers, my friend, she has the documents. She’s already at the apartment.” Thabo, still friendly, responded truthfully. 

He stood tall, his dark skin glistening in the sunlight as he smiled at the two blonde Austrian police officers. The street was eerily quiet.

“You see, the reason we’ve stopped you…” the smaller officer suddenly interjected full of confidence, “we’ve had reports of a Tourist vandalizing several hot dog stands in the area.” 

Thabo’s shifted his stance. “And you thought this must be me?” His expression darkened. “This seems an awful lot like racial profiling?” 

“Now…” the tiny officer got interrupted by her colleague “Sir, the perpetrator has been reported as being…” she paused for a second, carefully choosing her words “African.” She looked visibly uncomfortable.  

“Oh, ok then!” Thabo feigned understanding. “Then it must be me! After all, I am the only African person in all of Vienna, I assume! Even though I just came from the airport and haven’t done anything wrong!” The giant’s friendly demeanor faded when another squad car stopped next to him. A squad of four more police officers piled out. Thabo’s eyes narrowed.  

“Is there a problem?” The squad leader took control of the situation. With a machine pistol strapped across his chest, equipped with a bullet proof vest and a helmet, he looked far more professional than the two beat cops that halted Thabo in the first place. Not like it’s going to help him any, Thabo thought to himself. 

“Not at all.” Thabo answered with a stern face. “I was just about to call my girlfriend to get the papers.” He reached towards his back pocket to get out his phone. 

“HOLD YOUR HANDS UP!” The leader’s order pierced the tense atmosphere. The police officers aimed their weapons at the giant man.  

Sighing, Thabo shook his head in disbelief, slowly raising his hands. 

“Keep them right there! We will have to take you down to the precinct for processing!” 

“I don’t think so.” Thabo calmly replied. 

“Are you resisting?” The squad leader readied his weapon. A shadow suddenly engulfed him. 

A giant foot descended with unimaginable speed onto the point man. The impact shook the street, cracking the sidewalk, forcing the other officers to the ground. The deafening sound of the impact echoed through the streets, sounding like a mix of thunder and an earthquake.

The leader was instantly liquified, showering the rest of the squad in blood and gore. The smaller policewoman screamed in terror, covered in her colleague’s viscera. The two police officers on the other side of the police van, knocked down by the tremor, scrambled onto their backs to look at their surprise attacker. But all they could see was a large female hand reaching down towards them. Before they could react, the massive hand engulfed them. Thabo watched with pride as his giant girlfriend lifted the two officers into the air, far above his head. 

Meanwhile the fourth officer clambered into the squad car to reach for the radio. Raising his foot, Thabo aimed squarely for the van. He slammed his foot down, smashing in the car roof and windshield.  

Above him, he could hear screams, punctuated by the sound of bones breaking, as his girlfriend’s giant fat hand slowly and deliciously crushed the two tiny men into bloody paste. The gory viscera blubbered from between her thick fingers as the screaming turned into gurgling noises and eventually ceased altogether. 

Noticing movement from the half-crushed officer in the car, Thabo resumed stomping, until the vehicle cabin was flat as a pancake. A stream of blood mixed with oil trickled from the wreckage.  

Satisfied, Thabo looked up to his girlfriend, as she discarded the torn-apart remains of the flattened officers. 

“What should we do with these two?” The gigantic woman pointed at the two blonde policewomen cowering behind their car.  

“Hmmm.” Thabo slowly walked towards the two women. 

“Stay away!” The larger blonde screamed, pulling out her handgun. 

“You can take her,” the giant points to the smaller officer, “I’ll take the bigger one.” 

The small woman looked up in panic. A woman forty times her size bent down over her. Breasts the size of a semi-truck swung perilously back and forth, coming ever closer. But her gaze was drawn towards the massive fat belly hanging down low, as the large dark hand descended towards her. 

The other police officer could only watch in horror as the enormous woman pinched her colleague’s head between two fingers. The giant lifted the tiny woman into the air, screaming and kicking. “Ugh, shut up!” The large woman yelled at her tiny captive. She pressed her fingers together, the shrill shrieks abruptly ended when her head exploded with a sickening crunch. 

Paralyzed by shock the remaining blonde officer barely reacted as a large hand grabbed her arm and with a quick flick broke her wrist. The gun dropped to the ground. 

“I have something special planned for you.” Thabo calmly announced as he sadistically stared into the women’s frozen eyes. He took her police cap and stuffed it into her gaping mouth before she could start screaming. Then, with a swift motion, he pushed her into his giant duffle bag before zipping it back up. With the bag slung over his shoulder, the two giants headed out, while their captive struggled and thrashed inside her shadowy confinement.

“Show me the apartment, mooi! Did you already grab something to eat?” The African man asked his larger partner.

“Yeah, I found a couple of hot dog stands to eat, I am good for an hour.” The larger giantess giggled as they both walked off.
