Crushed In The Pizzeria
Added 2019-11-11 21:38:23 +0000 UTCJames was sick and tired of it. It had been weeks since he'd lent Tara money for her groceries and ride home. While she was out serving customers, he got into her purse. A burst of light blinding him as a small device triggered on her wallet. Before he knew it, James was only a few inches tall down on the floor.
The only thing he could think of was to get to his managers office. She had similar protection for those late night walks home. Surely she'd be able to reverse it too.
However, getting to her office was the problem. It was on the other side of the restaurant from the kitchen. Past an entire room filled with customers. Not to mention the ironic horror of possibly being crushed by Tara herself. Risky as it was, it was something he'd need to try.
Setting out from the kitchen it was pretty easy to start with. Everyone was sitting down or waiting at the counter for takeout. Tara's heavy footfalls sent his heart pounding, but otherwise it looked easy enough.
With a deep breath, James just went for it. Tearing across the floor he kept away from the booths. The last thing he needed was some woman playing with her sandal, or a stretching leg to be what ended his days.
Finally as he passed one booth, a customer stood up. It didn't matter where she was going, all that mattered was the titanic blonde was headed in James' direction. He did his best to hurry up but all he ended up doing was falling. Staring up at the beautiful woman overhead, James was quickly overtaken by her sandal and crushed.
Tara never knew for sure who tried to get into her wallet, but with the mysterious disappearance of James, she had a pretty good idea.
