Real fear coursed through Jordan’s body as he held onto Dayton’s shoe. His body froze becoming completely motionless as he looked on at the insect. Desperately he wanted Dayton to flinch, fidget, and take another step. Basically, do anything that might discourage the giant mosquito from flying any closer to him.
Looking upward at Dayton and Nicolle they seemed endless in height. Viewing these giants from this angle was not something he ever wanted to get used to. Jordan found himself longing for the times he was bored and lounging on Sara’s shoulder. The nagging and babying of him that bothered him now somehow felt welcomed.
As he continued to look upward at Dayton and Nicolle he found that they looked more like a vertical mesh of colors and shapes than people. This meant it was difficult to get the whole picture of what they were doing the further up he looked. Jordan assumed that Dayton was peering down into the grass hoping to find him, however, there was no way to be sure. It just felt strange to live in a world where this was somehow the norm.
Making matters worse the mosquito drew closer and closer while Jordan stretched his arm out trying to bat at the mosquito. which the mosquito was able to easily dodge his arm. The flapping of the mosquito’s wings created a loud buzzing as they flapped. Jordan could remember the annoying sound as they flew around him at his prior size. However, now the buzzing was much louder and more intimidating.
Jordan grabbed onto the rim of Dayton’s shoe with one hand while keeping the other on the loop. He started to pull himself up when Dayton lifted her foot up. The downward pull of gravity weighed on Jordan as a rush of air blew against him from Dayton lifting her foot off the ground. While out of the corner of his eye, Jordan could see the Mosquito following him as it seemed unwilling to let his prey escape.
The grassy forest pulled further and further away as Dayton lifted her foot up. Jordan clenched the loop and back of her shoe tightly while his body slammed against the canvas of the shoe. Letting go was no longer an option as Jordan watched what looked like miles of grass pass him by as Dayton’s shoe glided over the grassy forest below.
“This was a bad idea,” Jordan thought to himself as her foot finally started to descend. The sound of grass and debris being crushed under the weight of her footstep was even more frightening up here as he got to watch from above as a large swath of the grassy forest was crushed beneath Dayton’s shoe for the umpteenth time today. Doing nothing but reminding him just how small he now is compared to her.
As Dayton’s foot settled back onto the ground Jordan darted his head around relieved to see no more mosquitoes were stirred up. However, the one from earlier was still reapproaching him. Grasping the heel of the shoe Jordan pulled himself up and stood up so that he was fully on the heel of the shoe grasping her ankle and sock for support. Looking down Jordan couldn’t believe how small this all made him feel. He just expended a significant amount of energy and time just to climb up onto her shoe. He felt like he had just gone rock climbing or hiked up a steep mountain.
If you had told Jordan a week ago he would be running, crawling, and creeping through a jungle of grass. Followed by climbing and scaling a girl’s shoe as if it were some kind of mountain or rock climbing expedition he would have laughed that person out of the room yet now here he is holding on to this shoe for dear life as a Mosquito flies towards him to suck him dry like a vampire. He would have laughed you out of the room. Yet now as he clings to Dayton’s shoe it all doesn’t seem so crazy anymore.

His model is the same size as it’s just a percentage of the standard height. However the grass and surroundings made him look smaller along with the angles selected
