Just To Be In Your Hands

Little artist, big world

I opened my eyes in a dark and wet place. I couldn't see much but I could feel it all;
hot air blowing into my face, slimy wet puddles that I was sitting in and...something under me...something alive and moving...

Then suddenly, something in front of me opened up, allowing light in. With this new light source, I could see everything a lot better now...though...there was just one little problem...now that I could actually see where I was with the light coming in...I realised the situation I was in...I was literally sitting on the middle of a giant tongue!

What?! How?? I was surrounded by massive rows of huge teeth, pink flesh and looots of saliva. I thought to myself...how in the world did I ended up in here??? I tried to calm down, took a deep breath...and started to think.

First things first...hi Im Rayne! I should mention, Im a human. Just a regular person...nothing special about me in that department...though heres the thing...humans like me, unfortunately lived amongst other humongous beings known as "giants" yeah, those fairytale monsters you grew up with, you know...the ones that went "Fee-fi-fo-fum" and ate humans?

So...bad news, (for me at least) they're real, and yes they do eat humans, unfortunately. Us humans are used to this fact though, and that is exactly why we made our homes in hidden places far away from giants where they're unable to reach us. We couldn't really protect ourselves with being tiny little specs compared to them, naturally, we only had one other option...to hide. Thats how a regular human's life went, to try and live peacefully and hide away from gigantic man-eating monsters.

Though...even though I don't usually leave the safety of the human society Im living in...I somehow found myself here, sitting in the middle of a giant's mouth! Then...suddenly...something awakened within me...memories...started to resurface and I started to remember everything now. I don't know if I've mentioned but Im an artist, I make up my own little characters and draw comics of them. I also take commissions and study my surroundings as well as people and animals. Thats why I usually like to go out into nature like the forest to study the natural life around me and to focus better on my drawings in such a peaceful place...this didn't last long though.

One day, as I was sitting and leaning against a tree, drawing peacefully in my sketchbook which I decorated with little stickers to my liking, then...I felt the ground shake and rumble...odd...was that an earthquake? I panicked a little, what was I gonna do? There were trees all around me, if one fell due to the earthquake I had nowhere to run off to!

Then to my surprise...the shaking stopped...I thought the earthquake was over and let out a small sigh of relief, but as I did...I noticed...everything around me was much darker now, as if under a big shadow...thats when I slowly turned around and started to look up. And of course, it was the worst thing I could ever find myself looking up at and seeing.

A giant towering over me with ease due to his colossal form. It was kinda hard to see from where I was looking at but he had chin length choppy ashy blonde hair with dark brown roots peeking at the top of his head, big light red eyes and damn- his style was edgy let me tell you. He had tons of piercings on his face and ears he also wore a spiky choker, fishnet gloves, skull hairpins, big black boots which looked even bigger from where I was standing, a black sweater and oversized black pants. So much more different than my usual colourful pastels...I mean Im literally wearing a baby blue off the shoulders sweater, a pastel pink mini tennis skirt with black stockings and a cute little black bow at the back of my head...hopefully we're more "He was a punk, she did ballet. What more can I say?" Rather than...well...predator and prey basically.

At first the giant and I just had a little staring contest without saying a word, I could sense the hunger in those big giant red eyes of his and that made me tremble slightly with my neck cranked up to look at him. Then suddenly, the giant grinned and reached one of his giant hands with fishnet gloves on it down to me to grab me in one mighty swoop.

I gasped softly but couldn't do anything about it as I was dwarfed by his ginormous hand and brought up to his face. I was so small within his palm, barely as big as his humongous fingers. He looked at me and studied me for a little while longer, still smiling but...I noticed...his giant lips with two piercings, one on the right side of his bottom lip and one right under his painted black bottom lip. He was...licking his lips...?

Wow...well it was good knowing you guys lol.

To my surprise though, he brought me up to his eyes rather than his mouth, just what was he doing? As he was observing me with his gigantic light red orbs, my patience wore thin and I finally spoke up.

"So...you're just gonna keep eyeing me huh? Like what you see or something?"

I said as I struggled to hold in a light chuckle. The moment I said that his eyes opened up wide and for a second...wait...did I just see him blush? A giant? Blush? Yeah right...I must have imagined it.

The giant continued to stare at me for a few more seconds, my two long strands of wavy brown locks and bangs flowing side to side in front of my shorter locks of hair due to the soft breaths of his massive nose blowing on them before he speaks up as well.

"Well maybe I do...what, am I not allowed to look at such a pretty tiny little thing?"

His titanic voice shook me a little as he said and smiled at me. Wait...what- did he just...call me pretty?? A freaking giant- the same ones that literally ate humans like me? Before I could get all flustered about his little comment, he opened up his mouth again.

"Also I felt like looking at you before having you in me forever, never to be seen ever again, you know...the usual."

As I heard him say that all the colour on my face instantly vanished. So my previous theory was true...he really was gonna eat me...well...since Im gonna meet a fatal end soon and can't really do much about it I decided to talk regularly anyways without any begging or pleading.

"Damn...well hey, at least it seems like you found me good enough to stare at!"

I said as I giggled softly. He seemed puzzled, like he didn't expect me to say that and instead get scared or shocked in the realisation that he's literally gonna eat me soon.

"Wait...you understood that Im gonna eat you right...? I mean such a cute little thing like you...I just naturally must have a taste.~"

I sighed and gave him a sheepish nod of my head before speaking up again.

"Yeah Im aware...but wow you just keep flirting with me like that...its kinda cute not gonna lie.~"

And with that, I actually saw the giant blush this time, a whole lot more than the last time let me tell you that much. His once pasty porcelain cheeks had turned as red as a tomato at this point as I failed to suppress another laugh.

"Oh come on now...how could I help myself from flirting with such a tiny beauty such as you...you're far too cute not to compliment.~"

The giant said while still smiling as he gave me small flirtatious wink.

"Ok big guy you're taking this too far now...if you're actually interested in me...you wouldn't be killing me like that so soon..."

I replied back as my gaze involuntarily shifted down to his gigantic lips once more, admiring the black shade of his bottom lip and his huge piercings...but still unable to help myself from imagining my inevitable demise in there.

"I...well I need to eat too...you're the only human around...and honestly...Im quite hungry right about now..."

He said as I felt the soft fleshy, colossal surface of his hand shift and move as it slowly traveled downwards to exactly where I was staring at a moment ago. Was he gonna seriously eat me now? What am I supposed to do?? Is there any way for me to escape...? I asked myself as his giant fish netted hand continued to bring me back down onto my grave...
