In The World of Monsters, P10

Read on A03  |  Chapter masterlist can be found here

Danny and Christopher find themselves in an odd new living situation. How will this new “trust exercise” go? ~4000 words, g/t, some mouthplay and mention of vore (soft, safe). 

Domestic Life

Christopher's face was too close for Danny's comfort. She worried she had given him the wrong idea—she noticed his mouth part slightly at the end of his sentence.

"Woah, woah, woah. Not right now. I have been inside of too many people in the last twenty-four hours. I think I need some space."

She thought she saw a bit of a pout—like he was going to keep begging her or something—before he backed off, sitting fully upright but still looking at her. Not in a hungry way anymore. More...bemused.

"That's understandable, I suppose. I'm just glad you understand the nature of the situation."

"Yeah, and I bet you're real torn up about that, aren't you, mister 'doesn't-have-an-antidote'? What kind of a second-rate dealer are you?"

Christopher looked almost offended. "Hey now, growth serums aren't exactly common, even among dealers. And there's even less of a market for antidotes. You should be glad I have the connections to get you an antidote at all."

"Hmph," Danny grumbled, taking a corner of the giant hand towel and wrapping it around her. Her wet clothes were still rather uncomfortable, and it was beginning to chill her skin.

Christopher smiled as he saw her huddle into the towel. "Let me get you some new clothes, dollface." She watched him disappear into his bedroom and heard him rummage around in a few drawers for a bit before reappearing, this time with a small wooden box about as big as his hand.

Danny looked at it curiously.

"Let's see...well, I have no guarantees on sizing, but some of these might fit you, you're fairly skinny though..." Christopher rifled through the box's contents before stopping suddenly, then smacking himself in the head. "Whoops. Totally forgot about your little growth spurt. These are all useless."

"Where did you get a box of human clothes?"

Christopher gave her a quizzical look, as if that wasn't the question he expected her to ask. "Well, there's not a lot of demand for human stuff up here, but there are a few human traders who carry a wide assortment of stuff like this. They generally only trade with other humans, but I have connections. Well, had, anyways..." Christopher trailed off, heading back into his room.

She guessed it made sense—the human who had smuggled her into that bar had done so in exchange for protection, right? Maybe he had helped Christopher get other things, too. Danny shuddered. She hadn't really thought about Christopher's human smuggler before. Did he live here too? Did Christopher know he was the one to kidnap her last night?

"Hey...um..." Danny tried to raise her voice so that he'd hear her from the other room.

"Hm?" It sounded like Christopher was still looking around in his room. Did he actually have larger clothes somewhere?

"Do you...does that other human...live here? You know, the one who..."

Christopher cut her off immediately. "No. After the little stunt he pulled last night, I don't think Max will be coming around again. I, ah, ended his contract, so to speak." He grinned devilishly.

"Did you eat him?!" Danny's voice squeaked, a bit more accusatory than she intended.

Christopher passed in front of the doorway, and she saw his face contort in disgust as he strode to the other side of his room. "Eugh, no. Oh, but speaking of which..." She heard a small rattling sound before he emerged from his room, this time holding a very small...well, it looked like a giant-size prescription bottle. He unscrewed the cap and placed it on the table. "Here. Take one and drink up."

Danny looked inside the clear plastic container. Inside, there were tiny, human-sized vials of some sort of bluish liquid. They were still very tiny to her—maybe half the size of her finger. "What the fuck is that?"

"Scent-masking serum. Humans use it to hide their scent from giants. I used to give this to my, uh...employee." Christopher looked embarrassed. "I doubt it'll work at your size, and I don't think it's safe to take more than one at a time. But we might as well see what it does though, hm?"

Danny carefully picked out a vial and eyed the contents suspiciously. It looked like antifreeze. "Well, I'm sure you know what you're doing..." She unscrewed the top of the vial and swallowed the tiny amount of liquid, then nearly coughed it all back up immediately. It took effort to choke it down. "It tastes like shit."

Christopher held a finger up and glanced away as if he was focusing on something. She watched him inhale deeply, then sigh. "Well, at least I tried. It does cover your smell up a little bit, but not enough." Despite his disappointment, he was clearly trying to suppress a grin. She got the distinct impression he had been fully expecting this result anyways.

Danny gingerly placed the empty vial on the table. "How do you even keep track of human stuff this small? This may as well be like...I don't know, a grain of sand to you."

Christopher laughed. "I had Max count those things and package them for me. I tried doing it myself before, but let me tell you, inventory was a bitch. Mostly just tweezers and swearing."

"So, do you have any clothes for me, or...?"

"Well, the short answer is no. The long answer is, I could probably make some, but in the meantime, I'll wash your other clothes and, ah...well, a hair dryer will probably work in a matter of minutes." He gave her a once-over, as if he was judging the state of her worn-out clothes and pondering something. "Is that...the only pair of clothes you have?"

"Of course it's the only pair. Where am I supposed to get human clothes in a giant city, moron? Nathan doesn’t exactly know how to sew."

"But I do." A strangely thoughtful expression settled on Christopher's face. "Once you get back to your regular size, I could probably supply some more clothes for you." Just when Danny thought he sounded halfway sincere, he added with a smirk, "...if you asked nicely."

Danny just gave him an ugly sneer in return.

Before he could make another smart comment, a loud growl escaped Christopher's stomach. He sounded starved, and Danny watched as he gripped his stomach and winced, as if in pain.

"...you good?" Danny asked, hesitantly.

"I ah...just remembered I didn't eat anything yesterday. Except you, of course." Christopher's grimace morphed into the hint of his signature teasing grin. "I should...probably take care of that. I bet you're hungry too, aren't you?"

Danny had a retort ready for his previous comment, but she couldn't deny the hunger clawing at her own stomach. "Yeah. What, do you cook actual food, or am I gonna have to scrounge around for crumbs?"

Christopher chuckled. "Of course I can cook, dollface. My line of work requires a...refined sense of taste, after all." Danny noticed his tongue slide over his teeth through his barely-parted lips, probably in a teasing gesture. She repressed a shudder, and quickly broke eye contact with him.

He moved to the fridge, getting out various vegetables, a carton of eggs, and a few containers of something. "You can eat omelets, right?"

The word omelet made her stomach growl hungrily. "I'd kill for an actual omelet." Nathan had fed her, of course, but she didn't get the impression he could cook himself. He had mostly given her small slices of meat, cheese, and fruit, but hardly anything prepared. He'd said something about it being "too suspicious." Danny couldn't actually remember the last time she had something close to a home-cooked meal.

The scent of the food sizzling in the pan on the stove nearby was making Danny's mouth water. As Christopher's back was to her, she sighed, finally giving in to the discomfort and stripping her shirt and pants off of her, but keeping her undergarments firmly in place. She still kept the towel wrapped tightly around her, but at least now she was mostly dry.

Christopher only gave a cursory glance to her pile of wet clothes before placing a giant-sized plate on the table in front of Danny with the largest omelet she had ever seen on it. It looked fluffy and delicious, with cheese and vegetables poking out from the seams and some sort of sauce drizzled on top of it.

"Um...yeah, I can't eat that whole thing."

"Good thing we're sharing, then, doll." Christopher cut off a relatively small corner of the omelet, then, after some consideration, cut that portion into even tinier pieces. "I don't have any silverware for you, so you're just going to have to use your hands. Don't worry, I won't judge."

I'm too hungry to care. Danny immediately sat down next to the plate and started shoving the bite-size chunks of omelet into her mouth. It was probably the tastiest thing she'd ever had in her life. Christopher seemed to be eating just as ravenously—he must have meant it when he said he hadn't eaten anything yesterday. He must have been in a real sorry state.

I still don't feel bad for you, asshole. But Danny couldn't summon the usual amount of vitriol anymore. Everything was so strange. Here she was, wrapped up in a giant hand towel, eating an omelet off of the plate of a human-smuggling giant. A giant she...well, not a giant she liked, but at the very least, she certainly was appreciative that she wasn't being digested in the stomach of a different strange, gross giant right about now.

That canNOT be where the bar is.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Christopher grinned and twirled his fork in his fingers, his elbow resting on the table as he stared at Danny.

"Fuck no," Danny spat, stuffing her face with more omelet to avoid conversation. She had run out of bite-size pieces, and instead started grabbing handfuls off of Christopher's larger portion. He saw this, but just shrugged and continued eating until the omelet was gone.

After the last bites of food vanished, both Danny and Christopher sat back in contentment. Christopher absently trailed his hand over his stomach in satisfaction. "Well? Was my cooking up to your standards?"

"It was fine." Danny felt a little bad after such a blatant lie. "Actually, it was the best omelet I've ever had. Maybe you should change careers," she said, spitting out the last word with no small amount of disdain.

Christopher looked oddly pensive at the suggestion. "You know, I hadn't even considered that. Cooking's just a hobby for me."

"Now that we're on the subject, are you still planning on smuggling humans? Or did you actually take Nathan's advice?" Danny crossed her arms. 

Christopher looked down at the table, an uncharacteristically serious look on his face. He didn't respond right away. "No, I'm not. I already told you I cut ties with my human employee, and believe it or not, outside of you, I don't have any other humans on hand." He paused, his eyes narrowed slightly at something in the distance. "And I cancelled all my client appointments. Indefinitely." 

Danny's eyes widened, not actually expecting him to admit to quitting his trade. I'm not buying it. "Why?" she asked, a hardened edge to her voice. 

He gave her a curious look, raising a single eyebrow at her inquiry. "Business has been...well, slow, since Cyrus started his own little smuggling ring. Pretty much all of my regulars have been going to him, because he's cheaper. And he's been having his own little minions clearing the town of any humans they can find. You're frankly quite lucky you weren't one of them."

"Yeah. Lucky." Danny glared at Christopher, her scowl only causing him to grin slightly. "So it's just convenient for you, isn't it? You didn't actually have a change of heart," she scoffed.

"I mean, I didn't have to take care of you," he smirked, resting his chin on his hand. "Or rescue you. I think that ought to count for something, hm?"

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, congratulations, you're doing the bare minimum. Let me break out the participation trophy for you." She narrowed her eyes in a challenge. "You think that's enough to make things up to Nathan?"

He returned her gaze, coldly. "And what, exactly, do I have to do to prove myself?"

Danny rose to her feet, keeping her eyes fixed to Christopher's. "Let's see how far your little 'change of heart' goes." She crossed her arms, her towel falling to the table as she did so. She ignored it. "Those other humans, in Cyrus's place. I met one of them when I was there. You want to show Nathan you actually give a shit about humans?"

Christopher cocked his head quizzically, interrupting her before she had a chance to finish her statement. "You're asking if I'm willing to help recover all of Cyrus's stock, aren't you?"

"The other humans. Yeah."

"That's a tall order, dollface." Christopher's eyebrows knitted together. "Let's just say Cyrus and I aren't exactly on the best of terms, and even if we were, buying up all those humans would cost much more than I have, especially if I didn't plan on returning them. I might as well give him my house."

"I'm not saying buy the other humans, asshole. I'm saying rescue them. They're all there against their will and treated like shit. Surely you could come up with something."

Christopher shook his head. "You'd be asking me to attempt the impossible."

"Nathan told me human smuggling was illegal, right? Can't you just...I don't know, report him to the authorities?"

Christopher laughed mirthlessly. "If my goal was just to shut him down, I suppose I could, but if I cared about the humans, I couldn't guarantee they wouldn't just end up somewhere worse. It's all rumors, of course, but I've heard that the government is more wrapped up in the human smuggling business than anyone. They'd put on a show of locking Cyrus up while taking all of his stock—sorry, all of the humans—for themselves."

"Bastards." Danny glared at the table. "Well, I'm going to keep thinking of a plan. If you ever feel like doing the right thing, feel free to contribute some ideas." Danny turned around—she didn't feel like looking Christopher in the face.

As if he could read her mind, Christopher grabbed her torso and spun her around with one hand, using one of his long fingers to tilt her face up to make direct eye contact with him. She resisted the urge to bite it. "Hey, hey now, I didn't say I wouldn't help. I just said it wouldn't be easy." She didn't know what to make of his expression then—not teasing, not a hint of a smirk, but something that seemed slightly pained. His eyebrows furrowed. "But if it matters that much to you, I'll at least try to think of a way, alright?"

"Since when do you care about my feelings?" Danny seethed. Just when she thought she could tolerate Christopher a little more, he had to go and say something stupid like that. Anger boiled inside her. "'If it matters that much to you.' As far as I can see, you're only being nice to me for Nathan's sake. That's the only reason you went and saved my life, too. Am I wrong?"

Christopher was silent for a minute as he retracted his hand from her, his face unreadable. "You know what? I don't know." There was a long pause, and Danny couldn't think of anything to say to break the sudden chill in the room. "A few days ago, I was a completely different person. And you were just a really, really delicious human. Maybe I am only being nice to you for Nathan. Or...maybe he was what helped me figure out I was wrong. The way he cares about you...I'm jealous, dollface. And I don't know which of you I'm more jealous of, at this point."

Danny choked on her own snarky retort again. She hadn't expected him to be this...honest.

He leaned closer to her, and the serious look in his eyes made her almost flinch away. "I enjoyed seeing the fear in your eyes. The helpless look on your face. The way your body trembled in my fingers." His warm breath washed over Danny, and the memory of his dark, predatory eyes boring into her made a quiver of fear spring up in her gut. She froze as his fingers gently stroked her hair.

"The truth is, I've never gotten so attached to a human before. It's true that I went after you because of Nathan. But something about the way that idiot Gary talked about you pissed me off. I've dealt lots of humans, but this was the first time I felt that someone didn't deserve a specific human. The way he was treating you—like some common drug for a quick high—was wrong. He didn't appreciate anything about you."

Her lip curled in contempt. "So what you're saying is, you only care about me so far as you appreciate the way I taste."

"Well, the taste certainly helps, sweetheart." Christopher made a show of taking her hand between his fingers and lifting it to his lips, leaving a gentlemanly kiss as he looked teasingly at her, watching for her reaction. She forced her features into stone, unwilling to let him get to her now. "But I don't think that's all, either. When you kicked my nose, despite it being completely pointless—remember that, doll? Or when you stood up for Nathan, even when you knew it meant I'd digest you. I've never met someone as reckless and passionate and loyal as you—human or giant. It scared me to think about how that bastard was just going to...take all that away forever."

The look in Christopher's eyes nearly made Danny lose her resolve—something between anger and despair.

He bent down closer to her again, and his lips brushed the top of her head as he spoke. "It made me want to hold you inside of me forever, and never let you out again."

Danny shuddered, but she couldn't accurately place the emotion behind it. Christopher moved his face directly in front of her, staring right into her eyes again. She gulped. Why wasn't she angry anymore? Why wasn't she afraid of the giant's lips resting so close to her face?

Without thinking, she felt her hands reach out to touch Christopher's soft top lip—mostly as a way to create some distance between them and keep him from getting closer. This seemed to surprise him—enough that he didn't move in response.

"...listen. I don't like you, asshole. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be. But I think, at the very least...I don't hate you either. As much. I'm giving you a chance to be a halfway decent person, and I'm only giving you that chance because Nathan believes in you. And if you end up proving me wrong, I swear to god I'll find another growth serum and eat you for a change."

The thought made Christopher chuckle. "Noted. Does that mean you trust me, then?"

"'Trust' is a strong word. All I trust you to be at this point is a dick."

"Oh, well, if that's the case, I may as well play the part, hm?" Before Danny could process his words, he parted his lips slightly and then closed them around her hands, a malicious and self-satisfied grin forming as he dragged his tongue across them. Thankfully, he stopped there, and Danny quickly wrenched her hands out of the giant's greedy mouth, wiping the excess saliva off on the towel still nearby.

"Sorry, dollface. Couldn't help myself."

"Like I said, 'trust' is a strong word. So is 'tolerate'."

"Sounds like we need some trust exercises, then. And speaking of which, when are you going to let me eat you, sweetheart?" Christopher's face was the picture of innocence. Danny wondered how much energy he was having to exert to keep up that facade.

Danny hesitated. She looked at Christopher's full, soft lips, turned up in a smirk. Maybe...she could start small. The stomach and throat were their own monsters to deal with. Perhaps if she could get used to the cramped quarters of his mouth first, the rest would be easier...

Oh, fuck me, am I actually going to do this again?

She exhaled slowly, feeling a shakiness return to her limbs. I really don't want to do this, but I also know I need to...work on my claustrophobia for my own safety. And I hate feeling scared of you, bastard. "I don't want to go all the way today. Can we just..." She felt herself getting a bit physically sick, thinking of what she was going to say next—"can you just maybe hold me in your mouth first?"

Christopher's eyes brightened up eagerly, and the look made her stomach turn. "Right now?" His fingers brushed against her back, immediately ready to snatch her up.

She swallowed nervously, but fought her fear back. She had to. "I just want to get it over with, so you better hurry up before I change my mind." Danny closed her eyes. She could feel him picking her up gently, pressing her arms to her sides as he lifted her up to his eye level. She sat in his palm, her legs dangling over the edge of it.

She forced herself to look him in the eyes. "So first, obviously—don't swallow me. Second, go slowly. I need time to breathe and get used to it, okay? And third—wipe that smug grin off your face, you bastard. I'm not doing this for your enjoyment," Danny huffed. She wished she could have practiced this with someone nice like Nathan instead, but she knew Nathan would like it less than she did, and he'd probably be more likely to hurt her accidentally as a result.

"I know, I know...it's just a fortunate side effect." She watched in horror as Christopher absently flicked away a drop of saliva that threatened to escape his mouth. Oh, god, this was a mistake. He brought his lips closer to Danny, making her heartbeat threaten to escape her chest. "Now, should I go headfirst, or—"

"Yes," said Danny quickly, fighting the fear in her chest at the thought of it. "That's the only way this makes sense. Just...slowly, okay?"

"I can do slow," said Christopher with a smirk, stroking Danny's hair back as he placed his lips on top of her head. The warm air he exhaled made her skin shudder.

"Not slow like you're enjoying it, slow like—you know what, never mind, just do it already." Danny braced herself, squeezing her eyes shut and sucking in a large gulp of air. She felt Christopher's lips part and slide over her body, his huge tongue moving across her face and down her torso. He picked her up with his other hand, angling her to make the slide into his mouth easier.

His lips closed just around her shoulders, and her head was now completely inside his dark, wet, slimy mouth. She squirmed around, trying to get her arms in past his lips—thankfully, he seemed to understand what she was trying to do, and he relaxed his hold on her enough for her arms to move inside. She tried to use them to prop her head up off of his tongue, allowing her a little room to breathe.

Breathe. For some reason, this time was causing more anxiety to spike in her chest than the rest. All the other times she had been eaten, there had been something else to distract her from the immediate experience—fear and anger, mostly. Now, though, she was forced to focus on the sensation of being in Christopher's mouth, and all the unpleasantness that came with. The only thing she seemed to notice was how tight his lips held her shoulders, and how little room there was in here compared to the first few times, when she was smaller.

He slowly slid more of her torso in until he got to about her waist. Her head was balanced precariously on the edge of his tongue, much too close to the throat for her liking, but at least here there was a bit more space for her to breathe.

In and out, in and out...

She wondered if Christopher could feel the shaky contractions of her lungs, or the intense beating of her heart through his tongue.

I used to enjoy seeing the fear in your eyes. 

Danny tried to force her thoughts away from her inner panic, and towards Christopher. He didn't seem to be enjoying himself, well...any more than usual, she supposed. He was being surprisingly careful with her, not pressing her to the roof of his mouth or even moving his tongue too much. Perhaps it was simply because there was so much of her inside his mouth, but he was holding her still, his palm holding up her legs outside of him. She felt his saliva pool around her, and he seemed to be taking great pains to swallow it without jostling her too much. And, thankfully, his firm grip around her midsection kept her from going down with it.

He slowly opened his mouth a bit, letting in some air and light but still not moving Danny. The light illuminated his uvula and the back of his throat, which stared her in the face. She watched with morbid curiosity as the muscles of his throat expanded and contracted, seemingly widening of their own accord as if they could sense her there at the edge, inviting her downwards.

She closed her eyes and focused on nothing but her breathing—three seconds in, three seconds out. It was a cramped space, but she wasn't being squeezed like she was in the esophagus or the stomach, and with Christopher having his mouth a bit open, it was more manageable.

She realized that she was probably going to have to be the one to set the limit on this little "trust exercise," so after she felt her heartbeat finally calm down a bit, she gently kicked Christopher's palm. "Okay, that's enough. Let me out."

She gasped as Christopher shut his mouth and pressed her against the roof of it—not too forcefully, but sudden enough to put another spike in her heartbeat. She kicked his palm again, harder this time. "Hey—mphgm—" Her face pressed into his tongue and her words disappeared into the wet muscle. Thankfully, though, he was slowly dragging her out of his mouth, using his tightly closed lips and tongue to suck as much of the saliva off of her as possible on the way out.

When her head finally came back to the outside world, she doubled over, breathing in as much beautiful, beautiful air as possible and hugging her knees to her chest. She was resting on Christopher's palm, and she noticed him gently starting to wipe her off with the hand towel again. God fucking damnit, I'm going to have to wash myself off again.

"Well? How was that?" Christopher was looking much too pleased with himself as he dried Danny off.

"Oh, tons of fun," she quipped, yanking the towel away from him. "Nearly as much fun as that one time I got food poisoning. Or appendicitis. Or, ooh, maybe that time I got chased by a squirrel on my first day in this godforsaken, shitty-ass giant world."

Christopher smiled. "Don't worry doll. I enjoyed it enough for the both of us."

Part 11 -->

Hey guys. It’s definitely been a hot minute. I don’t know how frequently I’ll be able to update this story, but feel free to reach out to me about it if you are curious or if there’s something you want to see! What’s in store for our enemies-to-unlikely-housemates? We’ll see...

As a disclaimer, this chapter has been edited since its original posting.

ITWOM here we go boys

I literally did not have a better idea for a title. There is a discord server waiting for this to drop I’m pretty sure. Original credits to @vore-toast and their lovely lovely fuckin MASTERPIECE of a long haul OC fic. please go check them out. Note: this features Mimi my OC and Christopher from Amanda’s lovely lovely fuckin MASTERPIECE of a long haul OC fic. Christopher is a fantastically complex character and I apologize in advance for the inevitable inaccuracies.

 Warnings because I’ve been forgetting to put them on my work uh oh: g/t but its not your normal g/t its literally regular human vs around 100ft tall, soft vore, teasing pred willing prey, writer not taking herself seriously enough, writer self projecting as a coping mechanism

“This... should be the right place, if I followed this map correctly...” Mimi mumbles solely to herself. “Red Tree. Humans shouldn’t go here if they want to come out alive... and a dealer hub.” The small young woman, no more than 22, no taller than 4′11″, and wearing her more playful pastel best, glances back up at the buildings before her. She had been travelling for over a week from the countryside, hoping to find herself somewhere to start her new business plan. Staying hidden away in a civilization jarringly anti-giant with no room and even backlash for curiosity was simply too much. Mimi didn’t want to hide. She wanted to live among those most of her kind feared. Its not like she had anything to lose.

As soon as she reaches what she presumes to be a more lively area of this Red Tree place, Mimi stows away her map and begins searching. Compared to where she came from, everything was huge. She knew giants were big, the one who directed her was simply massive, but suddenly entering a world not catered to her was far more unsettling. Instead of casually sauntering down the main drag of town as she had originally hoped, Mimi opts to follow along the very outskirts with the sparsest population. She eyes the huge structures in awe, seeing multiple at once is far more intimidating. With a hint of sudden vindication Mimi decides to keep a little closer to the buildings. She watches a few shadows with some element of fear but instead of fleeing takes a deep breath. “If you can’t beat them, join them,” she states with forced confidence before truly entering the town with a bit more spring in her step. This is what she wanted after all.

It isn’t long before Mimi manages to reach the ‘hub’ of the small town, thankfully not having ran into anyone along the way. Now in search of something to eat, perhaps crumbs of some sort or scraps she could steal, maybe grab a growth serum and antidote pair just in case. She spots what appears to be some sort of eating establishment and emerges from the shadows to enter. Just before she can start to tackle the problem of opening the door, Mimi feels the back of her shirt hitch and pull her up into the air.

“And just where do you think you’re going, doll? Do you have any idea just how much danger you’d be in walking into this pub?” Mimi’s knees instinctively curl up towards her chest seeing as it’s the only way she can really move. She attempts to make herself appear unphased by the fact that she is at least 100 feet up off the ground, let alone her entire life is in the hands of the first giant she meets after her travels. “No, why would a pub be dangerous?” The giant inspects Mimi with a hint of a smirk. “You’re not from around here are you? She gives a sheepish smile. While the absolutely massive face in front of her is just that, they are rather attractive. “Well, I am not from around here if you must know. And you can call me Mimi.” She tries to pull herself more into the hand dangling her. “You have quite a strong smell, Mimi. If you don’t get away from here, Cyrus will certainly put you on the market.” Mimi cocks her head quizzically. “Market... oh that’s right giants use humans like drugs. Well, I guess I could let you swallow me for kicks. Never been inside a giant before.” Mimi shrugs somewhat nonchalantly. The giant dangling her then spins her a little by the neck of her shirt, inspecting her. A hint of surprise slips into their expression, but Mimi opts to not bring it up. “And what if you didn’t want to be swallowed, doll? If I were to drop you from here it’d be over for you. Even if you survived the fall, You wouldn’t be safe inside.” The giant, still holding Mimi up by the collar, walks into a back alley with her and finally sets her in his hands. “Lemme take you to my place. That way I can taste you in peace.”

Mimi allows herself to, after a minute, relax into the giant’s hand closed around her. “Say, um… I never did catch your name… I’m Mimi.” The grip around her tightens a little in response. “Keep it quiet or someone besides me might hear you. The name is Christopher. If you’ve heard of me, you probably already hate me. If you haven’t, lucky.” He opens a door indicated to Mimi by a creak. Christopher sets her down on a coffee table, small to him yet huge to his guest. Mimi seats herself legs crossed on the table. “So. What do you think you’re doing out in the open, let alone casually allowing some strange giant to swallow you?”

“Curiosity. Where I came from there was one giant and everybody was scared of her. All the humans were so anti-giant even bringing them up was taboo.” She shrugs. “I got sick of it, figured I’d take my chances, and see what all I could see. I learned that some humans seek out giants for protection and enjoy the sensation of being swallowed… so I asked the only giant I knew about it and she said this town would be the best place.” Christopher’s eyes widen a significant bit as he puts the pieces together mentally. “No wonder that giant led you here.” Mimi cocks her head slightly in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Never mind. Now, onto what you said earlier…” Mimi’s eyes widen a tad. “If you’re looking to be swallowed for the first time, you’ve come to the right place.” She leans forward eagerly. “Really? You… you won’t… hurt me… right?” The apprehension apparent in her own voice is more than enough for Mimi to shake her head and clear it. “No, I trust you. You wouldn’t do that. You already were kind enough to keep me out of whatever danger that pub is…” The somewhat surprised look on Christopher’s face morphs into a sneer. "Well, doll, turns out you have come to the right giant." He picks Mimi up by the shirt again, this time bringing her far closer to his face. His warm breath and sudden change of tone startles Mimi a decent bit, but her face says exhilaration more than anything. "Christopher-" she gasps as his tongue teases her neck.

Unable to move or hide her own enjoyment, Mimi giggles at her new acquaintance's advancements. "That tickles a little... and feels rather good as well." The tongue teasing her pulls her in. As soon as Christopher has Mimi fully in his mouth, he gawks just a little at her taste. He pushes her up against the roof of his mouth. "You taste sweet. Unbearably sweet." Mimi's breathing hastens in pure thrill. As she tries to orient herself, a comparably loud and overly satisfied purr bubbles up in the throat awaiting her. With absolutely no warning, Christopher guides his prey into the back of his throat, all the way down just before deeply swallowing. About half of Mimi's body sinks into the gullet of the giant now completely around her. Another strong, practiced gulp takes the rest of her in. Peristalsis does its job from there, guiding the human down, down, down through the tight, wet, warm highway to the stomach. Mimi would have sworn she felt a finger trace her down, increasing the pressure. She wriggles just a little to better feel her surroundings and the musculature around her. That sensation does not last long as she soon enters the far more open stomach. She tumbles into a heap at the bottom and instantly curls her knees to her chest. The space around her seems to hug her upon noticing her presence. "It's been a while since I've actually had a human in me," Christopher's voice mumbles from up above. Outside it would have barely been audible, but tucked safely away in his stomach it rings loud and clear. "This... this is cozy." Mimi slowly stands up in her new confines, walks a circle curiously, then reaches out and touches the muscular tissue. Up above an undeniable purring begins to rumble. "I've never gotten my meals to rub me back..." She continues to caress the flesh in front of her. It isn't long before the giant encapsulating her lies back in bliss, blushing. The relaxed heartbeat up above accompanied by the now soft, contented gurgles of her current home is more than enough to make Mimi melt. She curls herself up into the folds. Next thing Christopher gets from Mimi are soft little snores. His hand wanders to his stomach, and rubs over where she is curled up. "First time in a stomach and you fall asleep... silly human." A small shift in the weight in his middle reminds Christopher just how wonderful the sensation of fullness is. "You might just be staying here for a while."

There is no real public enthusiasm for Tory economics. Sure, the heart of a thinktanker dwelling in London’s Tufton Street may flutter a little faster when they hear the words “shrink the state”. But ask the average Brit in Wolverhampton, the Rhondda valley or Dunfermline whether they support reducing the tax bill of the rich, or slashing public services, or flogging off utilities to provide a steady stream of dividends to shareholders, and they’re unlikely to start gleefully punching the air.

Instead, an economic agenda that has produced weak growth and stagnant living standards for a generation, while shovelling apparently endless amounts of wealth into a few bank accounts, has depended on something else: public acquiescence or resignation. “I believe people accept there’s no alternative,” said Margaret Thatcher of her profoundly unpopular economic policies in 1980. If citizens believe that a harmful economic programme is bitter tasting but necessary medicine, they will reluctantly accept it.

As Rishi Sunak prepares for yet another round of ideologically charged spending cuts, he will be counting on public consent to once more be manufactured. And much of Britain’s media stands ready to offer assistance. On the day Sunak became prime minister, a BBC correspondent declared: “The economic backdrop has changed: Mr Sunak is going to have to agree to spending cuts, and to tax rises.” No honest person could possibly conclude this was anything other than a violation of the corporation’s neutrality.

The correspondent was framing austerity measures as the unavoidable consequence of Britain’s economic situation, rather than a political choice. With some encouragement from yours truly, more than 2,000 people complained to Auntie Beeb. The BBC’s astonishing response was instructive: “At no point did our reporters imply what the government should or shouldn’t be doing.” You can judge for yourself.

This is a perennial failing by our media when it comes to framing economic policy. Research by Cardiff University found that during coverage of the 2008 financial crisis, 35% of interviews on the BBC’s flagship Today programme were with voices from the City – more than any other category. During the subsequent bank bailouts, “opinion was almost completely dominated by stockbrokers, investment bankers, hedge fund managers and other City voices”, while dissenting voices critiquing the size of the finance sector were very rarely featured.

Rather than being interrogated as instigators of the crisis, financial types were presented as impartial witnesses. The Tories were then able to transform a crisis of market economics into a crisis of public spending, even though George Osborne had backed every penny of Labour’s investment.

Research focusing on BBC News at Ten coverage in 2009 found that it “reproduced a very limited range of opinions on the implications and potential strategies for deficit reduction. The view that Britain was in danger of being abandoned by its international creditors with serious economic consequences was unchallenged and repeatedly endorsed by journalists.”

This framing clearly advanced the partisan interests of the Tories, placing Labour on the defensive back foot on its own record and presenting government cuts as the necessary antidote to a deficit crisis. That the cost of borrowing was low, allowing for extensive public spending, was simply airbrushed out of existence: instead, the supposedly apocalyptic scenario of Britain’s credit rating being slashed was constantly dangled. Yet when that actually happened and didn’t cause any spike in the cost of public borrowing – it continued to fall – the narrative didn’t change.

It seems clear that many of those responsible for setting the tone of the BBC’s coverage are wedded to establishment economics. The former business editor, Kamal Ahmed, was recruited from the Sunday Telegraph, where he denounced the “mostly negative coverage of the business world” and regretted how the crash had left the west besmirching the “hunt for profit”.

That’s not to say all the BBC coverage defers to Tory economic ideology: Newsnight’s Ben Chu did a good explainer showing that the supposed £50bn “fiscal black hole” wasn’t an objective measure, but dependent on the fiscal rules and debt targets that are set. But while we expect the rightwing-dominated newspaper industry to parrot the underlying rationales of Tory government, for the BBC to do so helps to manufacture a consensus.

During the financial crisis, the Tories – as the party that most fetishises market economics – understood they were potentially exposed. Aided and abetted by the media, they ingeniously deflected responsibility on to Labour. This time, their own culpability is even more obvious – in the toxic combination of Brexit and the turmoil unleashed by Liz Truss’s mini-budget – but the Tories will once again present themselves as taking necessary tough decisions, and challenging Labour to do the same. It is not the BBC’s job to aid them in this partisan endeavour. This time, the media must ensure that the Tories’ slash-and-burn cuts are presented as what they are: political choices.

Its hydrating properties help restore moisture to the scalp, reducing flakiness and itchiness. Applying aloe vera gel or juice to the scalp can help nourish the hair follicles, strengthening the roots and enhancing hair growth. 1.3 Coconut Oil: The Ultimate Hair Saver Known for its deep conditioning benefits, coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft, preventing protein loss and moisture retention. Regularly massaging coconut oil onto the scalp not only helps combat dryness but also stimulates hair growth, resulting in strong and lustrous locks. 1.4 Tea Tree Oil: The Antidote to Flakiness Tea tree oil, with its antifungal and antiseptic properties, is highly effective in treating dandruff and flaky scalp conditions. Its soothing qualities alleviate inflammation, reduce itchiness, and promote a healthier scalp environment, keeping flakiness at bay. 1.5 Lavender Oil: Calm and Nourish Lavender oil not only has a delightful aroma but also possesses calming and nourishing properties. Massaging lavender oil onto the scalp improves blood circulation, enhances hair growth, and helps maintain a healthy scalp pH balance, keeping dandruff and itchiness issues in check. Section 2: Controlling Flakiness for a Flawless Scalp Dealing with scalp flakiness can be bothersome, but with these natural remedies, you can effectively control and prevent flakiness from occurring. 2.1 Apple Cider Vinegar: The Natural Scalp Tonic Apple cider vinegar acts as an excellent natural toner for the scalp. Its acidity helps restore the scalp's pH balance, reducing flakiness and itchiness. A gentle rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar can provide relief and prevent recurrence of flakiness. 2.2 Rosemary Oil: A Scalp Stimulator Rosemary oil has stimulating properties that encourage blood circulation in the scalp, effectively preventing flakiness and promoting hair growth. Its antibacterial properties also help keep the scalp clean and free from fungal infections. 2.3 Biotin: Strengthening from Within Biotin, a B-vitamin, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair. Increasing biotin intake through a balanced diet or supplements strengthens the hair shaft, reducing the likelihood of scalp dryness and flakiness. 2.4 Honey: Nature’s Moisturizer Honey is a humectant that helps retain moisture in the scalp, combating dryness and flakiness. Its antibacterial properties also alleviate scalp inflammation and irritation, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth. Section 3: The Path to Long-Term Hair Health To maintain long-term hair health, it's essential to adopt a holistic approach that includes proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and consistent natural hair care routines. 3.1 Balanced Diet for Hair Health Eating a balanced diet rich in proteins, biotin, vitamins, and minerals is crucial for promoting hair growth and maintaining scalp health. Include foods like salmon, eggs, spinach, and nuts for strong, lustrous hair. 3.2 Hydration: Your Hair's Best Friend Proper hydration not only benefits your overall health but also has a direct impact on your hair. Drinking an adequate amount of water keeps your scalp hydrated, preventing dryness and flakiness. 3.3 Stress Management: Key to Healthy Hair Stress can directly affect the health of your scalp and hair.

The Erie Canal

Good roads, canals, and navigable rivers, by diminishing the expense of carriage, put the remote parts of the country more nearly upon a level with those in the neighbourhood of the town. They are upon that account the greatest of all improvements. Adam Smith, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, 1776

The zeitgeist of nationalism fostering the ascendancy of the Merchant Marine between the Tonnage and Lighthouse Acts from the selfsame vintage in 1789 crescendoed into the famous ‘Report on Manufactures’ two years later. This polemic propounded by Alexander Hamilton who was an early exponent for a mixed economy with some influence of statism upon free markets sought to remake America from an agrarian into an industrial society. As an iconoclast he espoused the belief that statecraft could incubate a Cambrian explosion if government elected to play a bigger custodian in the country’s development. With robust industries ascribed to tariffs and subsidies America might begin to disentangle itself from colonialism’s legacy in a bid to assume autonomy. Such policies of market interference were anathema to the orthodoxy of the day when economist Adam Smith had authored his iconic apologia for the invisible hand of laissez-faire capitalism in the ‘Wealth of Nations’ only fifteen years prior. At the same time the literati looked askance at all centralized power upon having just defeated the British monarchy under the banner of individual liberty. Nevertheless the Hamiltonian doctrine admonished that if not for an interventionist state infant industries would be deprived of growth in perpetuity.

Limited government simply emboldens more established incumbents to purloin what little marketshare might be used to nourish younger companies. Fatalism characterizes all possible outcomes thereafter since any manufacturing base would be stillborn if vulnerable firms were left to their own devices. A dirigiste variant of governance with a predilection for protective tariffs and federal subsidies by contrast could be a standalone buffer against the asymmetrical advantage held by foreign firms. Reprieve from such intense competition would be enough of fertile ground for fledgling industries to become self-sufficient. Hamilton’s thesis really did emblematize a clarion call for the country to transcend its primordial ways of husbandry by finding deliverance in a diversified economy. Therein the manacles of colonial subservience could be broken if firms were insulated long enough so they may scale up through the accumulation of capital and technology. This judicious use of policy was the ideal antidote against the capture of indigenous industries from the exploitation of foreign firms operating with impunity. Although the logic of this statecraft was a radical departure from the traditional precepts of free markets a whole conceptual edifice was eventually built around it with the advent of the Industrial Revolution.

The manifesto of the Report on Manufactures was manifestly the progenitor of the country’s early development. What coincided with this new regime eponymously dubbed the ‘American System’ that came into mainstream acceptance due to the maverick Henry Clay was a gamut of industrial policies whose stimulus saw factories abound. The monoculture of agriculture production incrementally took less precedence with manufacturing growing at a faster cadence ex post independence. A consensus soon emerged of how a strong central government might very well be the gateway to an America becoming a juggernaut of industrial strength. Likeminded thought leaders thus began to form a critical mass of opinion in favour of a more proactive posture in markets. On the eve of the Report on Manufactures the Patent Law of 1790 was equally amongst that same array of policies in the camp of statism protecting know-how from pirates who would otherwise sabotage growth. In this case the latitude of having a temporary monopoly over new self-made technologies for fourteen years was a boon to companies seeking profitability (Frederico 1936). Henceforth inventors boasted the right to profit from their creations as they were immune to imitations whilst America ratcheted up its industrialization in earnest.

What the ‘American System’ inherited as the progeny of the Hamiltonian doctrine in the wake of the War of 1812 was a trinity of nationalist policies: (1) trade protectionism; (2) a national bank to stabilize the dollar in times of distress; and (3) industrial policies providing the wherewithal for public infrastructure. The third funded America’s first marvel of engineering linking the Hudson River with the Great Lakes so trade may seamlessly pass through the region. In lieu of the federal government it was the New York State Legislature which bore the onus of allocating money destined for this gambit. By the end vast tracts of land totalling 363 miles was excavated after nine years of laborious effort at a substantial cost of $7m or $166m after inflation that saw America’s rapid industrialization (Utter 2020). Such a mammoth piece of infrastructure cemented New York City’s station as America’s premier place of business by reconciling the hinterland with the Empire State. Raw commodities from the breadbasket of the Midwest came to be ensconced in the teeming markets across the Atlantic seaboard. Iron deposits sourced from this Elysium of minerals equally supplied the panoply of foundries and steel mills in the East. The economics of waterways would eclipse overland routes by orders of magnitude (Bowlus 2014).

The completion of inland navigation via the Erie Canal between 1817 and 1825 from Buffalo to Albany with a total of 83 locks pared down shipping costs by a precipitous 90 percent. This vertiginous decline from $100 per ton of freight to a pittance of that at only $10 was a revolution for America’s supply chains as boats with a capacity of sixty tons superseded wagons drawn by quadrupeds whose pathetic limit was a single ton (North 1900: 123). Since waterways relegated overland shipping to an anachronism the cost difference between the two was so considerable that higher tolls could be added without being exploitive. In the first year alone did the Erie Canal amortize half a million dollars of its cost from the provenance of revenue generated from operations. Even with the stepwise growth of railroad expansion the throughput of tonnage by water appealed to merchants much more than that of locomotives despite the latter’s speed (Filante 1974). Far from being a flight of fiscal folly this investment in infrastructure ignited a mania for economic activity from the American interior to the bay of New York City. Where once eye-watering freight rates prohibited industrialization now the calculus had shifted to encourage the scale economies of production. Cheap transportation was in vogue.

Wednesday Wisdom: 5 Best Climate Change Books To Read

With COP 28 in full swing, the climate crisis is at the forefront of our minds. But how do we make sense of it all? How do we stay informed and engaged without getting overwhelmed?

This Wednesday Wisdom, we’re diving into five must-read books that offer a spectrum of perspectives on climate change. From the sobering realities of “The Uninhabitable Earth” to the rousing call to action in “All We Can Save,” these books will equip you with knowledge, hope, and the power to make a difference.

The Uninhabitable Earth By David Wallace-Wells

Wallace-Wells doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of climate change, painting a vivid picture of a future we’re hurtling toward. He delves into rising sea levels, extreme weather, mass migration, and political unrest, showing how these issues will ripple across every facet of society. While the book is undeniably bleak, it’s also a call to action. Wallace-Wells argues that we still have time to avert the worst-case scenarios, but it will require a radical transformation of our economy and way of life. “The Uninhabitable Earth” is a challenging but essential read for anyone who wants to understand the true scope of climate change and what we can do about it.

Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generationby Paul Hawken

Paul Hawken’s “Regeneration” isn’t just another climate doomsday book. It’s a potent antidote, overflowing with optimism and practical solutions. Hawken, the environmental guru behind “Drawdown,” ditches the mitigation rhetoric and dives into a revolutionary concept: regeneration. He paints a vivid picture of a world where we heal our planet, from flourishing forests to teeming oceans, not just survive its decline. This isn’t airy-fairy idealism; Hawken meticulously presents achievable action plans, backed by experts and bursting with possibility. It’s a call to arms, not a mournful dirge. Read this book. It’s the shot of hope we need to face the crisis, not with fear, but with rolled-up sleeves and determined hearts.

This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate by Naomi Klein

In “This Changes Everything,” Naomi Klein cracks open the climate crisis like a geode, revealing its glittering potential for revolution. She argues that the fight for a livable planet necessitates dismantling the engine of endless growth: capitalism. With Klein’s signature blend of investigative fury and trenchant analysis, she exposes the corporate greed and free-market idolatry fueling our descent.

Yet, amidst the bleak portraits of disaster capitalism, she unearths a vibrant network of resistance, from the tenacious communities on the frontlines to the burgeoning “Blockadia” movement. While solutions remain tantalizingly vague, Klein’s call to action resonates loud and clear: Embrace the urgency, confront the system, and change everything. While some may find the anti-capitalist lens one-dimensional, Klein’s unflinching gaze forces us to confront uncomfortable truths. This is more than a climate book; it’s a manifesto for a seismic shift in consciousness, a call to arms for a future where humanity and planet thrive in harmony.

All We Can Save

“All We Can Save” isn’t your typical climate crisis book. Forget the gloom and doom; instead, prepare for a potent shot of adrenaline. This diverse anthology amplifies the voices of 60+ women leading the charge, from scientists to activists to farmers. Each essay is a punch of truth, courage, and practical solutions, urging readers to join the fight. You’ll find yourself energized, equipped, and ready to roll up your sleeves alongside these brilliant minds. Whether you’re a seasoned campaigner or a curious newbie, “All We Can Save” is a must-read, proving that saving the planet isn’t just possible, it’s essential… and a whole lot more empowering than you think.

The New Climate War, by Michael Mann

In “The New Climate War,” Mann exposes the fossil fuel industry’s insidious campaign to manipulate public opinion and stall climate action. He masterfully dismantles their deceptive tactics, from cherry-picking data to funding misinformation campaigns. But Mann doesn’t stop at blame. He lays out a powerful battle plan for reclaiming our planet, urging us to mobilize grassroots movements and demand accountability from those in power. This is more than a climate book; it’s a rousing call to arms, empowering readers to join the fight for a livable future.
