Peering Down

Looking up my heart leapt into my mouth. She was so huge that her face entirely filled the sky. A plane coming in to land passed ever so slowly between the skyscrapers and her face. It seemed to travel at a crawl, accentuating her vastness. It was almost impossible to keep my feet. At every slight movement the ground shook. Her very breath caused gales of hot hair to rush through the streets. When she snorted, unable to hold back her delight, windows blew out across the city. She was beautiful.

The world was too tiny for her to relate to anymore. All those little cuties. What would her first line be to announce her presence? She thought of something filthy and snorted. Then, after some consideration, she said: “Hello.”
