anon had somehow survived for a year
the martin scientists personal experiments had not been as kind to her other captives
she had long ago given up on trying to teach them to do minor tasks
at the end of the day she was faster flossing her own teeth
using a team of tinies was an inconvience
her boredom at their pace contributed to a lot of accidental swallowings
there really wasn't anything useful they could do at under 1cm in height
but given her nature that didn't mean the experiments stopped
she kept bringing in more people and trying new things
most died soon but she never ran out of new subjects
the worst incident was actually an escape attempt
she used to keep all the subjects together for her own convience
but then a few tinies organized an escape in the middle of the night
anon thought it was dumb
where were they to go?
what were they to do?
everyone else made the climb out anyways
they managed to pull themselves through some air holes
anon stayed back and watched from inside of the container
they had made it halfway accross the kitchen counter before a spider got one of them
the rest fled in a panic
some fell off the counter in the dark
even at their small size they weren't tough enough to survive contact with the floor
the remaining members of the escape party attempted to come back
but they couldn't get back in the container with so few people
when the girl woke up she pieced together what had happened with her yes/no interrogation
without much hesitation she squashed the escapees
she had previously noted anon's nack for survival
but was still surprised to see that he had not attempted escape
anon was kept in a solitary container now
all of the other tinies, her replacement subjects, were too
the only difference was that his container had a small chain on it
she had taken to wearing it as a necklace of sorts
anon couldn't help but see the experiments from her perspective now
the fact that he had survived so much meant that he knew what she wanted
she found it easier to explain things to him
this left anon to instruct the other subjects per her directions
but it also kept him out of the more dangerous experiments
in his previous life he would have felt guilty about participating
but he had seen too much by now and knew he had no power to stop it
at times he felt like he had been somehow infected by her overpowering indifference
she had been sneaking out more than just subjects lately
test data from other departments
even some expensive lab equipment got "lost" in department transfers
apparently public scrutiny against Fsizer had made things more difficult at work
the degree to which the problem had been hidden from the public was coming to light
all of this anon learned second hand from his captor
recreating the shrinking problem and finding a cure were both a seeming impossibility
but the girl thought some things were being overlooked
the company was obsessed with cover up and blame shifting
no one was really investigating the conclusions of the experiments
except for her apparently
anon learned all this because she talked to him as a kind of catharsis
but the experiments were getting weird
body horror weird
she still couldn't recreate shrinking or growth
didn't slow her down though
she wasn't disposing of the failures anymore
disection, chemical analysis, radiation field tests
the apartment had become a genuine mad science lab
and from his chained container he saw it all
there was a manic energy to her work now
she had the feeling she was close to discovering something
then one of the subjects grew from 1cm heigh to a 20cm height after a round of tests
and didn't die
she fixed that with a second injection to do her tests
she took a week off of work after that
the whole week was spent on her experiments
she would forget to eat until her stomach started audibly growling
but by sunday she seemed to have found what she was looking for
anon was shocked to see her carry out and dispose of her equipment
even the other test subjects were liquidated
by the end of the day the apartment was as barren as the day he had arrived
on monday she left for work and took anon on his necklace
he hadn't been outside in more than a year
at work she went to the bathroom before going to the lab
she stripped down to nothing in the stall
anon was dumped into her hand
she brought a gas applicator to his face
fear overwhelmed anon for the first time in a long time
the gas poured over him
soon he felt a distortion of his vision
vertigo struck him and he felt like he was going to be sick
he felt cold
the sickness passed and he realized he was on the floor of the bathroom
he stood up and found himself to be almost half her height
"about a 100x increase" she said in her monotone "as predicted"
anon thought of running but she grabbed his arm before he fully had his bearings
"I'm going to explain whats about to happen"
"all of this experimentation is dangerously close to going public"
"despite doing my job, I'm likely going to catch a lot of blame for what happened"
anon understood that at this point doing her job included killing thousands
people the company and she was supposed to be trying to cure
"so your job in this is to back up my version of events when I'm done"
anon, still shocked, asked "done with what?"
she sighed "destroying evidence"
with that she raised the gas applicator to her mouth and sprayed herself
almost instantly the room was filled with the fur of her tail
anon was balled up into a growing fist
the breaking of walls and roofs was all he could make out
sitting on the growing pad of her hand he suddenly saw daylight
wind began to whip through her fingers
she stood to her full height
anon had been on her palm enough to recognize something
she was now far larger in comparison to him than she had been in her apartment
she had to be taller than the skyscrapers downtown
as she looked down at him he saw the briefest of smiles cross her muzzle
her hand was brought up to her eye
she seemed to have noticed what he had noticed about their relative size
anon was dumped on her shoulder and he clung to her fur
"hold on" she said quietly
the meager buildings of the research center were far bellow
she began to take small steps
with each movement of her foot whole buildings collapsed
she turned to her side where the main office stood
it barely came up to her knees
they rapidly began to fall as she purposefully fell onto the building
the parking lot was smashed under her torso
anon looked over to see the utter ruin of the complex
she rubbed her head and loudly said "what happened?"
what followed was the arrival of police and emergency personnel
she began to tell a story
that she had become exposed to some test cure
that she spontaneously grew and in her stupor had destroyed the buildings
she asked if everyone was ok to the amazement of anon
of course she had ensured there were no survivors
but the bizarreness of the situation meant that her poor acting went unnoticed
she stood up and at her full height the emergency people couldn't hope to talk to her
she claws anon out of her fluff
"you can tell them what happened"
she sets anon on the ground
surrounded by cops and firefighters
humans and anthros all more than twice his height
anon turns around to look back at her one last time
they are all literally standing in her shadow
whether it was the year of capture desensitizing him
or his now almost instinctual fear of the giant scientist martin
he didn't know why, but anon began to lie
