Chapter 25

Things inside the neighborhood were changing. All women are taller than on the first day they entered. And all men are shorter.

The average height for women has gone above seven-feet-tall, while for men, it was reduced below five-feet-tall. But that´s inside this location. Inside one of the many health centers dedicated to the study of these patients.

But, how´s everything in the outside world? How are things out there?

It´s impossible to locate and take all of the people who are infected to the facilities. There surely are people out there who walk down the streets, carrying the virus.

How has that affected everyone? How has that affected the world?

Even if people on the inside are under a certain surveillance, it´s a fact that the growth or the shrinking hasn´t stop. Do they mind? No. It´s obvious they don´t, else they would´ve separated the men from the women. Is their main goal for them to keep on with their sexual activities?

To a certain point, else, how will they gather data? How will they use them as guinea pigs if they don´t go on with their “ordinary lives” in here? Every patient´s aware of this virus, the question is, how long can they resist?

Now, that´s only for patients who live in the facilities, inside the units. Very fancy ones, and it´s almost like a vacation. Except they can´t get out, but at least they don´t have to worry about anything else; if that sounds like a fair-enough exchange…

There´s been several cases found, and several people have been put in quarantine. The new cases have been registered and the best solution was to, well, keep an eye on them.

Why not locking everyone? It´s not possible, besides, they are not exactly ill. No weakness, no fever, nothing other than the size exchange. So, how has this impacted the world?

There´s a lot more control around. And certain people have to carry a wrist tag, so that everyone´s aware that they are infected. It´s not necessary to take everyone to a facility if they are not a risk to society.

If they can abstain, then they can be free. If they play by the rules, then the game´s still on for them. Other than a regular check-up, things are sort of the same. But, how has that affected everyone?

Let´s take a random guy, George, he´s a man on his early thirties. The second he knew about this virus, he was skeptical, but then, he began to notice the work done by this virus.

He stood at six-feet-tall, not very tall, but above the average. Now, the first thing he noticed was women, a few, seemed taller. Or maybe he was just paranoid every time he met a tall lady?

He thought so too, and so did other men. Maybe the biggest proof was when they saw that, a lady they knew, a coworker or a friend, stood a WHOLE FOOT TALLER!

The impact it had was that women were taller, and not just that, they were so sensuous. This was like a miracle! But some were greedy…

The effect on men was the opposite. They lost height, strength. No man wanted to shrink only to share the night with a woman. Men like George paid more attention out there. In fact, a few men were afraid to meet a woman who had the virus.

There were many changes out there. Many ways to control this. They made registries, everyone was evaluated. But, in the end, there´s no way to control the way the virus spreads.

In the end, a woman who turned out negative to the test, could get the virus by the next week. And this kept going, and going. There was an announcement on the TV once, it said:

“Please, if you´ve noticed you´re infected, come to your nearest clinic for attention. They will give you further instructions over there.” But not everyone wanted to be locked in one of the facilities. One of those new “neighborhoods for infected people.

It was obvious that most will refuse to do so. Who´d go for it when they could get locked? Therefore, they released another announcement later on:

“If you don´t wish to disclose this information, please abstain from having sexual relationships with other people. Please, help us stop the spreading of the virus.” And for those who refused to do so, well, they could be reported by someone else, anonymously, to prevent further harm to others.

How was this affecting society? Men were the ones who were mostly affected.

George, as other men, was concerned every time he met a tall lady.

There were many questions that came to mind. Questions like, is she infected? Could she be just tall? What if she is and she´s not wearing the wrist tag? What if she´s one of those women who are looking for height and beauty, and don´t really care about men.

There were many women out there, women who were trying to get taller, sexier, and didn´t care what they had to do to achieve that.

Women who infected multiple men, like someone named Blythe… and their main goal was to try and sate the insatiable hunger of expanding, getting taller, curvier and becoming an alluring beauty.

How did the world change? Men were paranoid. But not everyone, some others didn´t care much. Which made them easy targets for any woman who wanted to become taller…

The world was changing. Could this be controlled? Can they find a cure? What does the future have for them?

The average height for an adult woman will rise, and the average height for an adult man will decrease.

What was this virus? Was it something natural? Was it man-made? And if it was an artificial virus, who would want to create a world full of gigantic women? So far, there´s no limit known for the growth or the shrinking. However, no one has lost or gained more than three-feet in height.

Which is concerning. How far can this go?

One of the patients, under observation, that has grown the most is Blythe. Who went from 5´6” to 7´11”. A total growth of almost two-and-a-half-feet in height. Just an inch from becoming an eight-feet-tall amazon.

As it´s been said, the world was changing. And people have to get used to this. Still, not everything was bad, there were people who wanted to see the bright side.

Much easier for some than for others. Still, there were a couple of people who, instead of wanting to keep everyone in the shadows of fear and worry, they wanted to make some more continence about this. In a way, promote it.

The question, the direct one is, promote it? Why would they promote a virus? For it to be spread even more?! The answer´s no, that´s not what they are looking for. They just want to show the world that people who got the virus are still people, and that they should not be left aside. Pushed away.

And, what a better way to do so than to talk about a few of the cases out there? To speak about how this has affected a couple patient´s life.

And there´s quite a perfect place…

“Please, Doc. Let us interview your patients. We only want to show the world that they don´t have to fear the virus.” Said a man, long hair, a full beard, wearing sunglasses still on the inside.

He wanted to make a documentary where he´ll show the world about how people who´s got the virus lived.

“No, I´m afraid I can´t allow you, and your team, to come here and invade the privacy of our patients.” Dr. Drystone said.

“Why not? This is for a major good! This will show everyone out there that there´s nothing to fear. We only want to show people that this is not a deadly virus. They only have to keep an eye open to it.” This guy was a director, and his name was Charles Rain, a famous director.

“Mr. Rain, I´m afraid this documentary has a different purpose than the one you actually aim for. You say you want to make people conscious, but aren´t they already aware of it? Aren´t there plenty of news, safety measures and warnings spread out there?” Dr. Drystone asked.

“Yes, but they all make this look like the end of the world! I have a different vision of this. We don´t need to make everyone afraid of this, instead, I´d like it for people to know that this is not as bad as it looks. To give them hope!” Charles said.

“Hope? It seems you want people to take this lightly and for the virus to spread more.” Dr. Drystone said.

“Oh no, not at all. My team and I would like to show the world that those who got the virus, they can still live a normal life. And, if they can, so can everyone.” Mr. Rain said.

“Still, I don´t think we should open up this facility for you and your team. There´s risks.” Dr. Drystone said.

“My team´s aware of the risks, and they are not afraid of them.” Charles said.

Dr. Drystone really didn´t want this to happen. He didn´t want to comply with this man.

It seems to be the beginning of a new world, or at least a noticeable change on the current one. This director, Charles Rain, wants to be a part of the change. To mark the difference, to record the beginning, the first days of this new life.

To show the world a different side of the virus, that´s real. But his main goal is to become famous. He cares for people and to spread the word about the actual effects of the virus. More than just the growth, but the emotional ones. How it actually affects people. And he certainly doesn´t mind if he wins an award in the process…

“I assure you that our patients won´t like the idea. You can´t just come and invade their privacy.” Dr. Drystone said.

“Well, why don´t we ask them? If we have their permission… I don´t see why this is wrong.” Charles said and so, they made a deal.

Dr. Drystone knew he won´t surrender, and that he was already tired of this man being so persistent. May the patients decide. And he was sure they will reject the idea.

The next day, Dr. Drystone called them all to a meeting. Giving Mr. Rain enough time to gather his team and have the speech ready.

Charles was good with words, the doctor was a bit too stubborn, but these people would agree. The first thing he noticed was the size of men, tiny compared to the amazons that lived there. Being a man, he´s slightly more concerned about the way it affects males, like thinking: “What if it was me?” However, he´s also aware of the size of women.

They all seemed to be a part of some basketball team, if he had to put it in some way. However, there was one lady in particular that made him say: “Whoa”, that was Blythe, about a full head taller than the second tallest lady, Lena.

Dr. Drystone was certain no one would like the idea, just like he doesn’t. But, after Mr. Rain gave the announcement, things were a bit different.

Everyone agreed. Mostly because it´ll be nice to have some other people around. And a few of them liked the idea of being famous. That´s Blythe and Andrew. And a few were not quite so comfortable, well that´s just one, Cory. But he went with it since everyone else was so eager about this.

“It´s a deal, we´ll bring out team the next week and meet you all.” Mr. Rain said.

The plan was simple. They will interview the couples, one by one. And maybe having a one-on-one with each person. So that their responses are not influenced by their couples.

This was going to happen, for as much as Dr. Drystone disliked the idea, everyone agreed. He chose to put this in hands of the patients/ neighbors, and they did the opposite he thought they would.

“Like, do you think this is a good idea?” Asked Cory, later that day.

It was night time already, and everyone was resting at their units.

“The documentary? I think it´s amazing that people will show the world how this actually is. A proof that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Well, at least not of the kind that makes their patients die.” Eunice said.

“So far…” Cory added.

“Cory, don´t say that!” Eunice said.

“Sorry, I just couldn´t help it. But, for real, don´t you mind that they will, sort of, expose us?” He asked.

“They are not “exposing” anyone, we live in a unit, under a constant check-up, and a moderate surveillance. Who´s getting exposed?” Eunice asked, looming tall above her 4’9” boyfriend as a 6´6” amazon.

“Maybe… us? Our privacy?” He didn´t like the idea at first, and now he had all that time to look for reasons to complaint.

“They won´t film you on the shower. Or while sleeping.” Eunice said, kind of joking, but still with the truth in her mouth.

“I know, but…” She can tell he doesn´t like the idea, and she might know the reason.

“Are you feeling insecure? Is that what´s going on, Cory?” Eunice asked, with a sensitive tone. Trying to be comprehensive.

“No, but… I don´t really want to be some sort of… freak they are filming.” He said.

“You´re not a freak. And if anything, I´m as much of a freak as you are.” She said.

“No, you´re a tall, and beautiful woman.” He commented.

“And you´re my handsome boyfriend. What´s the matter?” Eunice asked. Cory seems insecure, not as happy as the others with the idea. But she might help him.

“Come, let´s hug.” Eunice said, spreading her arms and surrounding him with them.

This always felt nice. Cory can feel the warmth, the love. And this is also quite sexy. The softness of her bosom. Her sweet aroma. The big lady, wrapping her arms around him in such a soothing way. To comfort, to reassure, to love.

Eunice always knows what to say, even when she´s not saying anything.

“I love you, Eunice.” Cory said.

“Me too. Trust me, this will be good. Just wait. And if anything happens, I´ll be there with you.” Such lovely words.

“Thank you.” Cory said.

Maybe this isn´t as bad. Who knows. And even if it is, it won´t last forever. Maybe for a day or two.

Now, there were others that were looking at the bright side of things. Dan and Daisy saw this as an opportunity to make continence around the world. Very nice, a need, pretty convenient.

And some, well, some had to talk about this in a different way…

“We´ll be treated like movie stars!” Andrew claimed.

“Movie stars? Andrew, we´re just going to be interviewed.” Lena told him.

“Come on, can´t you see? They will come with their trailers, chairs with our names in them. And food! It´ll be a buffet!” He thought of this as if they were making a movie of some sort.

“I don´t think they will allow trailers in here. And if there´s any chair, it´ll be for that guy, the director. Plus, why do you care about the food? We can literally have anything we want.” They did, they only had to make a few clicks on the pad to get it.

“But… think on our… assistants! We´ll be treated like kings!” He was overthinking this, in an exaggerated way. And his last words changed Lena´s mood…

“What do you mean by assistant? Andrew, you´re not fantasizing on hot women, are you?” She got upset.

“No! Of course not, I…”

“Because, if you are, let me tell you how bad things will be for you…” The 4´5” guy made the 7´2” amazon mad.

Lena thought of this as just an excuse for him to stare at other women. This made the 7´2” amazon mad. Very mad as she pictured his eyes looking at other women lustfully. Fantasizing about them, and not her.

This all resulted in about thirty minutes of a long, mad speech of why he should keep his eyes to himself. And why she should be the only woman in his mind. Else, well, she just left it as “you don´t want to know…” threatening, but it was all in the name of love.

Not everyone around had someone else to talk to about this. Blythe was alone, and her lonely mind drifted into luscious thoughts…

“I wonder, will there be handsome men in the filming team? A handsome stud for this tall queen?”

Luscious thoughts. New people to lure. Could there be someone? Even that guy, Charles, could do. Blythe´s not a very demanding person, on the other hand, she´s a lustful person. And it´s been a while since she had some action…

There´s something new coming to the neighborhood. After a couple of permissions and documents signed, they will film. What will happen?

There´s a chance things will be pretty normal with Dan and Daisy. Cory might seem a little anxious now, but it might not be such a big deal. And what about the others?

Will Lena explode before the camera if Andrew leers at other women? And what will happen with Blythe? Will she get what she wants?

But there´s an even greater question, what´s exactly in the mind of the director? What does Mr. Rain want?
