Rough draft that I forgot to post last night.

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 anyways. 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 down town.”

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 house work 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 herself before rushing downstairs, the quicker she finished outside the quicker 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 was an expired bottle of milk and some of the Fredricks Fancy Sparkling Water that she had bought form 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 then set the bottle on the table and walked outside. “Frist thing first. I am going to drag that hose into my shed. I need my gloves first though.” She walked over to her shed where she kept her gardening supplies and other tools. As she opened the door she felt a weird sensation spread through her body. “Ugh.” Carien put her right hand on her chest as her heart began to race. “I think that crappy lunch is starting to catch up with me. I hope it doesn’t find its way on me.”

She opened the door wand walked inside as the strange feeling intensified. Carien took deep breaths as she looked around for her gloves. “Ok, let’s just get the hose taken care of and maybe lie down.”

Carien reached the other end of the shed where she kept her tools and gloves. As she bent over to sift through the drawer she felt her clothing tighten. “Ugh. What now?” She stood up only to find her clothing was skin tight. “What is going on?”

Carien looked around and noticed her surroundings were becoming smaller. She took a step back as she pulled her shirt down. “This can’t be real. Oww.” She bent over as her head hit the celling of the shed. “Oh shit I am growing. I need to get out of here.”

Carien turned around as her jeans began to rip. “It is a good thing I didn’t put on my good clothes today.” Carien fell forward as she tripped over a milk cate that she hadn’t see.

“Oww.” She pushed herself up as her growing body pushed the crate into the far wall along with her work bench. “I need to get out of her fast.” She squinted as her feet tore through her shoes.” Damnit all. I liked those shoes.”

She pushed herself up and began crawling on all fours. There was no point of trying to walk out of her shed anymore, she was just too massive and growing by the moment. She pushed her lawn mower out of the way as her t-shirt began to rip and tear. Carien then pulled herself towards the doorway of her shed and pulled herself through. She squeezed her head and shoulders through, the doorframe pulling even more of her clothing off.

Carien then tried to pull her hips through only for her to discover that she was stuck. She spun around so she was on her back and placed her hands on the side of the shed. “Come on. I can’t be stuck now.” She put her hands on the side of the shed, planted her feet on the ground and pushed. The shed groaned but held firm.

Carien tried for a few more moments before letting her arms fall to the side, taking in deep breaths. “This is insane.” She squinted. “Oww. My body’s growth isn’t stopping. I can feel my hips pushing the doorframe to the side.” She hear something rip and then felt her legs touch the cold floor of her shed. “Well there goes my pants.”

She felt her feet press up against the far wall of the shed. “I need to think of something fast. I am not paying for a new tool shed.” Carien sat up and tried to lift the building but had no luck. She slammed her fist into the ground. “Damit.” She looked at her hips, her growing frame had completely destroyed the doorway and she was now bending the walls of the shed.

Carien shook her head as her bra tightened.  “I don’t care if I tear down my toolshed anymore. I just want out.” She pushed on the deformed walls, causing them to buckle. She kept pushing and finally she pulled herself out, her panties ripping off in the process. She then stood up to her full height as her bra snapped off her body leaving her naked in her back yard.

She covered herself as she looked around. “This could have gone better. At least I am surrounded by pine trees.” She sighed. “Although I am still growing.” She stood up and walked over to her house. “It is a bit amazing though. I am just taller than my own home. So what I must be over twenty feet tall now?”

Carien smiled as she looked at her shrinking surrounds. “Now that I am not trapped in my shed this is actually really nice. Feeling my skin stretch and all. I have to wonder just how big I am going to get.” She sat down and leaned against her house. “I could get used to this, as long as I don’t have to stay this way.” She crossed her legs. “Not being able to have my clothing on at this size isn’t what I call a plus but otherwise this is fantastic.”

She felt her growth come to an end. Carien sighed and stood up. She was now a good few feet taller than her house. “Hmm I wish I could get an exact measurement. But I must be twenty-five or thirty feet tall.” She tapped her foot on the ground. “What am I supposed to do now? I am too big to head back inside.” She tapped her fingers on her chin.

“I know.” She lowered herself onto her chest and reached inside her ruined shed. “I just need to find those tires. There they are.” Carien stood back up with all four winter tires in hand. “At least I can get this task done today.”

She then walked around to the front of the house and where her red SUV was waiting. “I shouldn’t need a jack now.” She bent down and realized a new problem. Her hands were too big to screw the nuts in on the new wheel. Sure she might be able to rip the old wheels out but how could she secure the new ones. “Great am I not going to get anything done today?”

Carien sat down on her SUV without thinking. Thankfully it supported her weight. “Well at least I can throw the hose into the shed.” She walked to the front of her house and pulled the hose from underneath her porch. It was a bit awkward trying to grasp the hose as it was like trying to grab a straw that had slid under her couch.

Once she had the hose she walked back towards he shed, pulled up the roof and dropped it inside. “There that is taken care of.” Carien looked around. “Now what to do?” Her stomach growled.
“Ugh I am starving.” She looked around. “I need to find that bottle that made me grow. Maybe it will make me shrink. I am not eating at this size, I will never get full.”

She opened the back door to her house and let her hand search her kitchen. Carien felt like she was playing with a big doll house. After a few moments she felt a tiny little bottle brush up against her hands. “Bingo.” Using her index finger and thumb she carefully grasped the bottle and pulled it out, holding the bottle up to her face. “Fredricks Fancy Sparkling Water. Perfect.”

She then tried to unscrew the cap but her huge fingers only deformed the bottle. “This isn’t working. Why is it that I have to be too big for everything, even trying to shrink back down?” She crossed her arms.

“Wait if I can’t unscrew it I will just eat the bottle whole.” Carien held the water bottle over her head and dropped it into her mouth. “Eww. Plastic.” She ran her tongue along the edges of her mouth trying to get the taste out as her body began to tingle.

“I feel weird again.” Suddenly her surroundings began to grow. Carien smiled as she began to return to a normal height. “It is working.” Within minutes she was twelve feet tall. “Well I am not back to normal yet but I can walk inside my house.”

Carien made her way inside as she shrank down to nine feet tall. She hugged herself, enjoying the way her body felt. “I have to do this again sometime. Preferably when I don’t have chores to do.” When she came to the fridge she was her normal height again. “Now to make dinner.”

As she pulled the fridge open she noticed that the appliance was still growing. “Wait.” She looked around as she continued to shrink. “Hey. Body stop it.” Down and down she went until she was only five inches high. Carien looked up at the world around her, her eyebrows furrowed. “I liked it more when I was giant.”
