This was very creative, and had a strong start. It's not my cup of tea, but I really liked the sense of scale you gave everything.
One big problem, though, and it's that your grammar and word phrasing often misses the mark, for example:
"When the purse abruptly stops falling I guess she threw it in the passenger seat."
The other problem is that I feel like this is stream of thought, which is great, but you need to figure out how to portray a thought. Obviously the character is thinking, so words like "I think" are already implied and are uncessary. Furthermore, they make the sentence harder to read:
"Is this really what a bar fight is, I think," If you're going to portray just a static thought, you should do more than just seperate it by commas. Since you're on GTSWorld, using italics is a good way to seperate 'stream of thought' kind of ideas that seperate a thought from a description.
Just saying Is this really what a bar fight is? with a follow up/leading sentence is enough to seperate it. So it would be <scene description> <italics thought> <seperate sentence break>
Overall that was a very creative death and the concept was nice, it was dark as hell but well thought out. It could use a lot more structure and more direction, you really should plan at least some of this out, and then you'd have a solid piece of writing.
An evolutionary rift causes millions of seemingly ordinary people to decrease in size. Stripped of far more than the right to be called “human,” the victims will find themselves in a very large world of hurt, or maybe just in a very large shoe.
You need to find synonyms for the word "clammy"
I'm curious as to why, since it only appears twice in these chapters.
It appears in every single story you write. It's not an insult, as your writing is amazing, but you really need to find some synonyms as your descriptions are starting to sound similar. Also, the word 'pillowy' is being used a lot, and 'appendages' (which sounds gross ._.) Just look at your past stories and Ctrl-F "clammy," "pillowy," and "appendages."
Don't know what to tell ya. When you write a lot about the same fantasy, some of those words are going to get reused a couple times between stories. I think it's safe to say I use more of a range than most here.
You're right about that. That being said, consult a thesaurus :D
If it really bugs you this much that a word gets reused twice in 8000, there are other offerings on the site.
It doesn't bother me, again, your writing is fantastic. I'm just teasing, no disrespect.
Sixteen year old Juniper evaluates her life spent under the control of her overly manipulative and patronizing sister April and her near sadistic sister May as she aspires for a better life with someone nicer.

Finally. Finally some understanding.
I didn't leave a review on the last chapter, since I didn't actually catch it - I was wondering what took so long :P
I feel like you're gonna throw a twist here, just like you nearly made us think she was going to escape (you really convinced me,) and I'm wondering what it's going to be. Maybe there isn't one and it all goes happily ever after. Maybe not. Can't wait for the next chapter!
We're getting to0- a better place for them, slowly, but we're getting there.
I also don't think June is 100% done with the idea of running away. The option is still there; she just couldn't do it at the time.
I don't have a machiavellian plot twist planned, but I do have some pretty neat stuff for the final chapters.
I... Didn't see that coming. I honestly didn't think she was going to run away, but I know why she would. I think she was broken ages ago, and she was in this strange abusive relationship with her sisters.
I don't think she can do it, though.
By the way, do you already know how this story is going to end, or are you writing as you go?
June definitely has her reasons to run.
I have an outline that covers major events, character points, etc., so I know the ending and how it plays out. I try to keep the outline loose enough so the story feels natural and even spontaneous on how it progresses. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.
Wow. I was expecting something a bit... more inspiring? Hopefully she gets what she wants out of that book.
The moment at the end when April lifts her with her foot is extremely well done. You say it in as little words as possible, but I cringed with the feeling of her mental state.
I honestly felt like I wanted to go in there and... yea, it's not gonna happen.
*sigh*
Every time I read your story my blood boils, and that's an amazing thing to be able to do. You're just so damn good at expressing the inner thoughts of a character and showing the disparity. April thinks this is a joke, she just doesn't have the slightest point of reference.
Is she EVER gonna get some sort of relief? I just want them to know how she feels, but I don't know how you, as a writer, could even DO that. It feels like it's been going on forever for her, and I really wish that now - when we're introduced to this story - we're at the turning point.
But until then, my blood boils.
Nice work.
Hot damn, I don't know whether to be ashamed or proud on how this made you feel. I definitely understand what you're getting at. One can only take this kind of abuse for so long even if it was intended to be just a good natured joke at times. Juniper's already starting to be fed up, so who knows what's going to send her over the edge. Anyways, thanks for the review, and I'm glad you're sticking with it.
So I'm gonna drop yet ANOTHER review. God I wish this place had a comment system.
Anyways, the cage was possibly my favorite part. It's very creative, I don't think I've ever seen that before, and it's so... perfect. Stuff here gets pretty dry and 'checklist,' but you certainly have a talent. Even inshoe, which I'm a huge fan of and probably wouldn't ever get bored of, you do well, mostly because you added that other element of what happens with that tiny, which by far is one of my favorite scenes. Has June literally never seen another tiny?
This reminds me a whole lot of The Insole Girl, which you might beat as my favorite story on this sight (it's a tie,) but this whole 'not entirely evil' deal is definitely something I like.
I might get into that in the future. This story, especially with your dynamic, is certainly opening my horizons to what's possible in this genre, and I've already got a few ideas I don't think have been tried before. Keep going, and I have to say this twice because the views aren't that great (wait for it,) you're onto some amazing stuff.
My biggest complaint about the premise is the fact that it's mostly used as a throwaway explanation to why the character is shrunken before the story goes into checklist mode. I feel like with the excessive use of the shrinking disease/gene I need to do something that stands out, and it's super cool to know that it's working. As for the scene with the other tiny, June hasn't seen another tiny in person, but she's heard of them and seen at least one on tv to know they're real before she shrunk. So seeing another tiny alive and in front of her is definitely something to be shocked at in her point of view.
The fact that you put this story up with The Insole Girl is probably one of the most flattering things I've heard, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't take inspiration from it. I wanted this to feel similar but be it it's own thing, so hopefully it's coming across that way.
This genre's definitely a blank check among other scenarios, and I'll definitely look out for whatever you have in mind.
Wow. It's these kinds of chapters that are just... I dunno.
It's weird to see family bonding and humiliation in the same story. It's like they don't do it on purpose, or they do it for a purpose? I dunno. For the first time ever, I am actually confused to the family dynamics here. Usually people are either cruel or gentle in these stories - it gets boring - and here is actual good feelings.
Grah! You're hurting my mind!
There's a gray area with April and May for sure. We're very limited in the unbiased truth, and all we can really use is Juniper's word. I think that's what makes this chapter much more surprising. Up until this point, Juniper has been painting them as heartless, but there's much more than that. Anyways thanks for the review.
Your older sister teaches you about an overlooked holiday.
Illustrated by SmushedBoy
I... Actually learned something.
I still don't know what Maundy is, though, so I guess I'm lucky not to have HER as my sister.
The illustrations were really well done, and the writing complimented it. Usually the illustrations make up for the writing, but in this story both complimented eachother nicely, giving details in the writing that gave the images some 'animation.'
Cool c:
A samurai and her retainer land upon a seemingly deserted island, unaware of the consequences their arrival has upon the tiny civilizations at their feet.
Wow. I tried writing something on a similar and theme and... It's not even comparable.
Your destruction writing is so good it's amazing, every detail, every feeling is very well articulated and feels natural and 'gigantic.'
I really can't wait to see where this goes.
Do you mean 'Aiko the Miko'? I rather enjoyed that one to be honest. I considered writing a story with a Miko as a giantess though I couldn't quite get it right so I scrapped it. After writing and reading medieval Europe used a bit I figured I'd try my hand at Fuedal Japan. Its actually pretty fun!
As for destruction writing, I try though at times I'm not sure I capture all the little minute details. I suppose I have time to explore that in future chapters.
Its as much a ride for me as it is you, trust me! Hope you continue to enjoy!
A young girl muses on her addiction, killing shrunken humans.
Wow. That's some of the best cruel insertion and domination I've read in a while. I really want to see this continued!
Two girls have very different opinions on shrunken people.
A very short story.
Wow. I really, really, liked this one. I especially liked how you described elements of their appearence as time went on, as opposed to the more typical 'description dump.' I also just generally liked the concept. I actually felt tense while reading the coin flip, imagined that feeling that your life would depend on something so casual. It's really powerful.
Great stuff, keep it up c:
A girl awakens in her best friend's room, reduced to a small size.
I really like this chapter, your ability to get that feeling of absolute frustration across is great. Hoping to see some action happen next chapter :)
Five men, each one scarred, nude, and hungry, try to survive while living in a beauty store. But, when a single step can turn a body in paste, and with the ever-present threat of starvation, death is a constant reality. Their only chance of rescue is from the giants that torment them, though they are less than bugs to these mighty goddesses.
Wow. Please go on.
Indian girls
I like where this is going, that description of her walking in the forest was exceptional.
A girl shrinks five people and experiments on them.
I liked this chapter. It was a weird sense of cruel but she seemed lonely too, like a complex character. Seeing the tinies embrace eachother and her reaction to it was also interesting, not sure why she'd vomit from it though.
Good stuff.
A Korean boy decides to enjoy some videogames with his best friends. Too bad he didn't check the software before he loaded it. Now that his little sister is back, he'll have a lot more to think about than a dead console.
Should be a good one for you if you like Asian little sisters (we love you too). First time writing from a Boy's POV though!
Oooh, this is sadistic, I love it!
My only thing would be to let them be broken more psychollogically. I think the fear is extremely important but in this story it moves a little too fast and though it's said it's not felt.
Looking forward to the last bit, though!
