“Ugh, why do they always give us such stupid assignments?” Britney muttered under her breath as the classroom door latched shut behind her. “Like, I’m a literature major, what does this stupid biology class have to do with anything?” She hoisted her butt up onto one of the many stools posted around the room, some scattered haphazardly between the rows of flat desks. Her short skirt flared out as her ass pressed into the hard wooden seat, and she grunted in annoyance.
 
“Like, c

Mark grunted as he slammed his trunk shut, ignoring the small corner of a shirt sleeve that poked out from the seam. He wasn’t opening that overstuffed thing until he was home, the trunk was probably compressed, and spring loaded at this point. Shoving clothes, bedding, folding chair, and random crap collected over four years at college into the hatchback of his car was a feat on its own. Mark wiped the sweat from his brow, the chilly May air not quite enough to cool his exertion from pack

Emily’s heart skipped a beat as the doorbell rang. She was expecting it, but the anticipation of it made it all the more startling. She raced to the door, the latch clicking softly as she pulled the door open. Two girls in their late twenties smiled as the light from inside poured over them.“Oh my gosh, you’re just as cute in person!” The one on the left cried out. “I’m Abbie, and that’s Olivia. It’s so good to finally meet you!” She reached out for a hug, h

The coffee shop was vacant, save for a couple of employees and a lone patron. The baristas hovered behind the counter; their casual banter littered with subtle flirtations as they passed the time. The sole customer was seated at the furthest table from them, seemingly out of earshot. She flipped the pages of her newspaper over, turning to a half page ad for an upcoming event. Reaching over to her steaming drink, she sipped as her ears tuned into the conversation between the two teenagers.
 

Mila sighed as she browsed through the menu. So many choices, and she was feeling a bit adventurous today. She scrolled down; her attention grabbed by a dancing bubble on the screen.“Hmm, Bubble Tea?” She mused, tapping on the listing. “Sounds interesting, wonder what it is.” An image of the beverage appeared, showing a milky white drink with silvery pearls in the bottom.“Ooo… tapioca balls, and zero calories? I’ve got to try this!” She clicked on the screen again, ordering t

Rick looked up from his computer as a low rumble approached, growing steadily until the ground beneath him trembled. He turned his attention back to the monitor before him as the rumbling stopped, signaling whoever was home had shut off the engine. Given the minor earthquake that accompanied the vehicle’s arrival, he knew it was either his mother or sister, as his father’s car didn’t shake the enormous home when it arrived.
 
Rick was what used to be considered “normal sized”, at

“Come on, one more for a killstreak!” Ben grumbled into his headset. He leaned forward a bit closer to the screen, until his lanky elbows rested on his equally wiry knees. His hands twitched as reflexes worked over the controller’s various buttons and twin joysticks, maneuvering a virtual soldier across the battlefield. He didn’t hear the sound of his bedroom door creak open, the volley of gunfire cracking through his headset keeping him fully immersed in his game.

6 - Biology Class********
“Okay
class, today we have a bit of a special lesson. Today, we’ll be
going over ‘Acquired Miniaturized Polymolecular Cytosis’, more
commonly known as the Shrinking Syndrome.” A few murmurs echoed
through the students. “Now, y’all are fortunate enough to have a
classmate who has this condition, and who has also volunteered to
help demonstrate some of the symptoms and side effects of her
condition.” The teacher gestured to Alex, who was poised on
