Carien's Unexpected Growth (Alternate Version 1)

Here is the first alternate version that will come out on June 10th for DA of my new story.

Carien’s Unexpected Growth.

Carien threw her grey jacket onto her couch after a long day at the Jenney Downs Department store. She had been called in on the weekend by her damned boss Gregory, oh how she hated him. All she wanted to do was relax today.

Carien sighed. It wasn’t like she had much to do anyway. She had wanted to spend the day with her friend Sarah, but she had other plans. Apparently, Sarah had a date with Matt. Carien’s blood raced at the thought of it.  Why is it when I find someone that I like, I can’t express how I feel to them.

She turned on the television to see a breaking news story.  “We come to you now with a story you won’t believe. Just a few moments ago, a young woman grew out of her vehicle and was spotted heading downtown.”

Carien sat up. “What in the world? That can’t be real?” She shook her head. “Well, I did see my friend Sarah shrink at work just a few days ago with my very eyes.

That wasn’t my imagination. Maybe the world is just going crazy right now.”

Carien shut off the television. “Or maybe I had too much to drink at the office party last night. That is it.”

She looked around the room; it had been weeks since she had cleaned the mess in her living room, bottles littering the ground and papers strewn all about. Carien needed to set aside a day to clean this mess, but that wasn’t today. Winter was coming, and she had some last-minute housework to do. Put the hose away for the year, make sure the tree saplings she had planted were protected for the winter, and which out her car’s tires. The first snow was scheduled for a week from Wednesday, so she couldn’t keep wasting time.

Before going to work outside, she to get out of her yucky work uniform. She walked upstairs into her bedroom and over to her closet. She swapped out of her grey uniform from the Jenny Downs Department story and threw the clothing into the hamper. She took a moment to look at herself in the mirror as she went over to her dresser. She had short black hair and blue eyes. Her skin was slightly tanned, having gone to visit a salon earlier this week, and she had on a cute blue bra.

Once at the dresser, she shifted through her clothing, looking for something comfortable to wear while she worked outside. Near the bottom, she found a loose old t-shirt with multiple paint stains on it. She threw the shirt on the edge of the bed and then pulled out a pair of jeans.

Carien then quickly dressed before rushing downstairs; the quicker she finished outside, the faster she could head in and have some fun online.

She then walked downstairs and headed for the kitchen. She wanted to grab something to drink before heading outside. As she checked the fridge, the only beverages she saw were an expired bottle of milk and some of the Fredricks Fancy Sparkling Water that she had bought from the week before. Carien pulled out the milk carton and threw it into the garbage. “Great that is yet another thing I need to take care of.”

She then turned towards the Fredricks Fancy products. She had been keeping them in her fridge after the shrinking incident that Sarah had at work. She swore afterword’s that it was the Fredricks Fancy drink that did it to her. Carien wasn’t so sure that was true but still was hesitant to drink the water. She picked up the nearest bottle. “It is silly that this thing could make Sarah shrinking. Like really.” Carien unscrewed the cap and took a few gulps. “Ahh, nice and refreshing.

She felt a strange feeling wash over her. “That is odd.” Carien hugged herself as she moved to the counter. Her heart began to race as her clothing became tight. “What is happening?” Suddenly she noticed the counter was shrinking before her eyes. Carien took a few steps back, almost tripping over her dining table. “Why am I growing? Oww.” Her head hit the ceiling. “I need to get out of here.”

She looked towards the doorway that led out of the house. “I don’t have much time.” Carien walked over with a hunched back towards the door. She winced as her feet tore through her shoes. She fell onto her hands as feet, unable to stand upright. “This is absurd.”

When she reached the doorway, she was only able to fit her head through. “Oh, come on. I am trapped.” She pulled herself back inside before she grew any more, and her head was trapped in the doorway. “Crap.”

She pulled herself into a ball to give herself some time. “Ok, think. There has to be a way out of here without destroying your house.” Carien winced as she felt her pants rip off her body. “If only I could stop growing.” Her body began to push the furniture against the walls as her head brushed against the ceiling once more. “This room isn’t going to hold me for much longer.”

The house began to shake as her body pushed into the walls. “I can’t take it any longer.” She pushed out, her arms bursting through the walls. Moments later, her legs slammed through the door and window and out onto the lawn. Finally, her head pushed its way up to the second floor, where she could see her bedroom. Her shoulders soon followed her into her bedroom, causing her dresser and bed to slide down towards the hole she had created. “Great.”

Carien heard a groaning sound as her shirt ripped apart. “What was that?” Dust fell from above as the house began to shake. “This isn’t good.” She tried to stand up, but the foundation held her body in place. “I am not going to have my home crumble on top of me.”

Suddenly she saw daylight as the roof crumbled above her head. Moments later, the walls of her house came crumbling down around her. She slowly stood up, brushing the derbies off her body. “Great. Where am I going to live now?” She looked around as she continued to grow, pulling at her bra. “This damned thing is getting too tight.” She winced as her bra became skin-tight. “I think it’s going to. . .”

Her bra snapped off her body, flying off into the distance. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Ahh, much better.”

Carien looked around the ruins of her house. “Well, I am not sure what I am going to do now.” She looked at the surrounding tree line. “I wonder how big I am going to get.

The trees are coming up to my waist as it is.”

Her undergarments snapped off her body as she cautioned to grow. “Now that I am out of my house this is a pleasant experience. I just wish I didn’t have to demolish my home to get to this height.” She smiled. “I think I like being this big.”

Carien’s growth suddenly came to a stop. She looked out over the landscape with a smile on her face. “This wasn’t so bad. Sure, I am massive and naked, but who cares.” She looked down at her home and sighed. “I had yard work to do, but now I guess I am stuck putting my home back together. Who knew when I would be playing with a real-life dollhouse today?”
