The vibrations that came towards him were lighter than last night, and off in the horizon, through the hallway, walked Melanie, Alex's sister. Melanies tan bare feet with French tips slid against the wooden floor. 

"Morning Alex," Melanie yawned. Her blonde hair sat messily at her shoulders. Alex's own short black hair had grown unkempt since shrinking. Alex hopped off his wheel and searched for the headset that allowed him to speak to the Titans. Melanie approached the ground shaking beneath Alex as she did. Locating the headset Alex quickly put it over his head. 

"Morning Melanie," Alex said just as a giant blue eye appeared in his cage window. 

"Oh my gosh are you running on your little wheel, that's actually adorable, Melanie laughed her eye retreated as she brought her head back. "You're like a tiny fucking hamster."

"Shut up," Alex said he was in no mood for his sister's jesting. 

"Wait get on the wheel, I want to send a video to Madison," Melanie said as she reached into her pocket to reveal her giant phone that took up most of the little man's window.

"No I have to get dressed," Alex said grumply. 

"C'mon you're just in boxers, Madison has seen all that before," Melanie said as she tapped her screen and caused a bright light to emit from her phone. 

" No Melanie drop it, I don't want to be part of your stupid video!" Alex harshly yelled. 

"Fine, whatever," Melanie said coldly putting away her phone. A few quiet seconds passed. Alex tried to pry open his cheap tiny drawers. From behind Alex came a thud. "Hey, you like my nails?" Melanie asked, Alex froze, he had mistakingly thought he had won an argument with his behemoth of a sister. Alex turned slowly to see his sister's sole directly in his cage doorway. Melanie had brought her foot up and rested it on the shelf Alex's cage sat on. Melanie's knee extended above as she rested her face on it, her massive foot wrinkled and flailed. Immediately Alex grew hard, his member pushing against his itchy boxers, Melanie was unknowingly giving him quite the show. 

"Melanie get your nasty feet away from my cage," Alex cried backing up a bit. From above Melanie brought her long toes down to the lock on his cage and proceeded to unlock his cage. Monkey toes are what Alex used to call Melanie's dexterous digits when he was larger, often when trying to convince her that feet grossed him out. Insults towards her feet were often a futile attempt to make sure she didn't bother him with his fetish, however usually wrestling made her stop, at his current size, he couldn't even wrestle her pinky toe.

"Maybe you just need a closer look if you're calling them nasty," Melanie said. He felt his entire cage lurch and collide with the wall behind it, as through the window that served as Alex's door slid in the tip of Melanie's foot, her tan wiggling toes.

"Melanie get your foot the fuck out of here!" Alex yelled at his sister. Alex's outburst registered no remission as the toes slid on top of the miniature man. 

"What?" Melanie coyly asked. "Madison and I just got French tips." His sister's toes that dwarfed him bounced on him the heavy clammy flesh touching his bare chest arms, and legs.  Dirt and flecks of unknowable origin fell upon Alex's face. The smell emitting from the foot was frightful strong for the tiny man, clearly, Melanie hadn't showered yet treating her little brother with the smell of stale sweat. 

"Melanie!" Alex shouted. The wiggling of the toes intensified battering Alex's raging member into one of Melanie's sweaty toe folds. Alex had to stifle a moan. 

"What do they stink?" Melanie laughed. Melanie couldn't really feel or see her miniature brother he was like a soft pebble a small one at that. However, she could tell she was pissing him off, which was her goal. Alex felt precum leak from within his boxers, he had to find a way to end this now. With a wind up Alex proceeded to bite down as hard as he could. "Ow!" Melanie whelped in pain, and instantly the giant toes receded, but brought the miniature man with them. The miniature man was thrown underneath his sister as her foot kicked backward and proceeded to hit the ground hard sliding against it. 

"Augh fuck." Alex groaned his skin red from scraping against the hardwood floor. Farther out two tan pillars that were Melanie's shins moved and twisted as Melanie turned to observe her brother. 

"Dammit Alex what the fuck." Melanie said as her hand outstretched over Alex's crumpled body. Alex was brought upwards towards Melanie's face in a clammy embrace. 

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Alex groaned as he sat up in his hand transportation, thankfully the pain made his erection die. 

"You're so stupid why would you bite me?" Melanie asked her eyebrows furrowing. 

"Told you to get your nasty feet off me," Alex continued the act, desperately trying to save face.

"Whatever, not a word of this to Mom or you'll be seeing a lot more of my nasty feet," Melanie rolled her eyes as she spoke.

After a low-energy check-up to make sure her brother was okay, Melanie carried Alex to the kitchen where Linda sat her tired face staring down at her coffee that was almost white. Alex couldn't help but stare at Linda's ass as Melanie walked by, it dwarfed the seat she sat upon, and this caused the blue pajama fabric to swell out from the holes in the chair. Alex thought for a moment what it would be like to be in her pajama pants, Alex tried to shake the accursed thought from his head probably leftover excitement from this morning. "Morning Mom," Melanie chirped as she set her miniature sibling down on the table. 

"Morning Mel, could you grab your brother's meal," Linda said as she looked up from her coffee, her tired eyes trailing a bit. 

"Yeah Mom, how was the shift last night,"  Melanie said turning towards the stove, which had two pans cooking. The smell of meaty breakfast foods wafted in the air.

"Oh, you know just stupid people, that's who usually show up at the ER," Linda said as she continued to stir her coffee aimlessly. "And you, my little cuddle bug, how did you sleep?" Linda asked looking down at her miniature son, her warm tired brown eyes set upon him. 

"Uh good I guess," Alex shot out trying to change the subject off of last night as quickly as possible.

"I didn't wake you coming in?", "I haven't had to worry about waking any of my kids since Mel left, it brings back memories," Linda spoke in a soft tone. 

"Slept like a rock Mom," Alex lied as flashes of his mother's building-size ass filled his mind. Melanie then walked over and sat a plate down many times Alex's size and in the middle a powdered bacon and egg ball, which was half his size. Around him Melanie set big dishes of eggs bacon and toast for her and Linda, the smell of breakfast hung over the air, making Alex's stomach gnaw. Alex was always so hungry, and this led to a thought about the possible side effects of shrinking perhaps the reason for his disgusting desires. "Hey, Mom is there like any side effects for catching the ant flu besides you know shrinking." 

"Increased proportional metabolic rate, loss of body hair, extending of limbs," Linda recounted. Alex thought about his next words carefully.

"What about, um sex drive," Alex asked.

"Ewww, Melanie groaned.

 "Oh?" Linda asked. "Oh...." Linda said finally understanding why her minuscule son brought up the topic. "I think I heard Dr.Ramirez say that she read somewhere that people inflicted with the ant flu have a lower refractory period and a higher sex drive," Linda recounted her tired mind, the mother part of her not participating in the conversation. 

"So Alex is going to be jerking it more?" Melanie laughed.  "That's nasty." 

"Shut up!" Alex yelled.

"Melanie it's a normal thing to do," Linda lectured.

"Was that why you were so cranky this morning, was I interrupting your gooning session," Melanie laughed at Alex. 

"Well, you're never going to get a boyfriend if you keep using twochan lingo!" Alex yelled.

"I've got more bitches than you loser!" Mel yelled back.

"Enough!" Linda said sternly. "It's like you two are in high school again, Melanie be nice to your big brother he's going through a tough time right now as we all are," Linda says finally looking up from her coffee. 

"Sure biiig brother." Melanie snorted to herself as she dipped a piece of bacon into her egg, Alex glared at her as she did Melanie having observed the daggers shot at her made sure to chew with her mouth open.

"Moving on," Linda said trying to change the subject. "Alex, Aunt Debbie is coming over," Linda said turning her head towards Alex, and took a bite out of her toast chewing politely.

"Aunt Deborah, really?" Alex said in disbelief. "Isn't she a Crumb supporter?" Alex asked.

"Voted the last three runs and probably going to on the fourth," Melanie declared.

"It's important to be accepting of other ideas," Linda said.

"Even the dumb ones?" Alex snorted.

"Yeah, she says some stupid stuff," Melanie laughed with egg in her mouth, the siblings united against their common enemy.

"Yes, even the dumb ones," Linda said rubbing her temples. "Can you two at least try to be nice to her? Linda asked as she turned her head to look at her two kids. "I don't want anything like the last time she came over happening." The only pranks Alex had have been at the receiving end. His sister constantly threatened to crush him with her feet and made his life difficult. Even his mom couldn't resist pulling a prank on him, on the first day home after shrinking, Linda used her socked foot to measure his body and put it on top of him pretending to slip, it was an awkward sensual awakening for the small boy as his shorts had tented as she pulled her foot off of him.

"How can it?" Melanie asked. "Little bug boy over here can't even hold a glue bottle," Melanie jabbed.

"I swear to god Melanie," Alex shot back.

"Even then don't get any ideas for pranks, I just want my sister over during this hard time," Linda said a crack in her tired smile showing.

"Yeah sure Mom," Alex said his heart breaking a little at seeing his mom so down. He imagined it was due to his condition. Melanie nodded.

Breakfast continued with sly insults hurled between the Smith siblings resulting in even Linda chuckling, and for a moment Alex felt like everything had returned to normal, at least for a moment. No thoughts of shrinking, prison, and no desires, but all good things must come to an end.

"Alright honey it's time, I have to go grocery hunting for your aunt's visit, so you'll have to go in your little house," Linda said as she picked up her half-inch-tall son between her fingertips, making sure to take extra care not to crush the fragile boy. She then placed him onto her hand and brought him up to her face. Linda's careful and precise movement was awe-inspiring for the Aelx who still was not used to moving with giants. Melanie had disappeared into her room, to her pc, presumably to play a game leaving Alex and Linda alone at the breakfast table. 

"Do I have to?" Alex groaned "What if I had free roam, just while you are gone?" 

"Honey you know I can't," Linda said with a sympathetic look in her eye. "Have I told you that kid who got trapped in his mom's flat?" Linda asked looking down with a sympathetic smile. 

"Yes for like every day since I got sick," Alex responded.

"Then you know why I can't, so just stay in your house until I get home," Linda said adopting a more stern tone.

"My cage you mean," Alex sighed. Linda unfastened the lock to Alex's cage. Linda then dropped Alex gently into his cage and proceeded to grab her things, slip on her Crocs, and leave. 

The rest of the day was uneventful. Linda came home and declared, she was too tired to deal with Alex and went to her room. Leaving him with a familiar aroma from her discarded Crocs. Melanie came down every once in a while to take Alex's bathroom out and feed him. Nightfall soon arrived as the house slowly was consumed in darkness, while aimless TV shows played in the background coating the room in ever-changing light. Alex ran, ran all the time, it was his only reprieve from the desires his only distraction, but Alex got off his wheel and walked to his window. "Man just imagine if I could get out of here just for one night." Alex leaned forward on his window to get a better view of the outside living room. With a click the plastic window slammed down revealing the bare living room, and the cold night air swept into Alex's cage. Melanie had forgotten to lock the outside of his cage. Alex's eyes opened wide. For the first time in a month, he was free. Alex could go anywhere, but the hormonal cocktail that was the young man's newly shrunken body urged him forward. Alex looked down it was a decent-sized fall, however a side effect of being so tiny is that, he no longer had to fear getting hurt from falling, so a shortfall later he landed in front of the shoe rack with many discarded shoewears left by his family members. It was a junkyard of tantalizing choices.
