This is the winner of the poll from a week ago. Well, actually it was a 3-way tie, so I chose my favorite of the lot, that being "Overbearing giantess mother unaware of torture from too much 'love'".
“Danny! Yoo-hoo, Danny? Are you down there, sweetie?”
“Mom?” muttered Daniel, having been startled awake by that familiar rumbling voice. “No. No, it can't be her. I never even told here where I live. There's no way she could have found me!” But it was her, as he learned when he looked out the window and saw that familiar row of brown-furred toes on the horizon, dwarfing the whole city. There was no mistaking them.
He ran outside and saw the gargantuan figure of his mother, Rebecca. She was leaning over the city, the grizzly woman's face taking up a good portion of their sky. “Oh, there you are, sweetie!” she said as he stepped outside. “Come here baby; let mama get a good look at you.” An immense pair of claws settled on the ground beside his house, crushing countless blocks as they sped towards him. Danny stood frozen as they tore through the earth, partly from fear and partly from long years of conditioning back when he has still lived with his mother. Finally they closed in on him, gripping him with astonishing precision before lifting him into the air at dizzying speeds. Next thing he knew, he was flopping down on that vast black surface which he knew as the pad of his mother's palm.
“My, how my little man has grown!” Rebecca said, the force of her speech flattening him against her hand. So loud was her voice that it felt like it would burst his eardrums. Had he been able to move his arms at all he would have covered his ears. It was a shame he had let his earplugs in his house, gathering dust in a drawer after months of disuse. Still, however painful the ear-rending sound was, it was even more painful knowing that everyone in town was hearing her.
“Mom, what are you doing here? How did you find me?”
“Aww! Danny your voice is as cute as ever!”she said, petting him with a finger that flattened him against her palm. “As for how I found you, it's all thanks to your sister! She looked you up online and found all your social media profiles, then she used them to figure out where you were living now. And I came to visit you, of course! You haven't called home once since you moved out and I was worried sick about you! But look at you now; you're so skinny! Have you been eating well? Come, why don't I take you back home; I'll cook you something I know you'll love!”
“Uh, thanks for the offer, mom, but I'd really rather stay here. I have my own house here that I've been living in for the past several months, I have a bunch of friends that I don't want to leave behind, and I have a job that I need to start getting ready for. I'm glad I could see you again, and I'm sorry I haven't called you, but I promise I'll call you more often now.”
“Don't you worry about any of that, honey; I'll just bring your little city along!”
“What!? Mom, don't do that!” Dan yelled, but already his mom was leaning over and digging her enormous fingers into the earth. Then she uprooted it, holding all of it in her cupped hand, her actions creating fissures throughout the little metropolis that left it split into several fragments.
“Well then, let's get going!” Rebecca said, slipping Dan fall onto her breasts. She set off for home, arriving there after only a few minutes' walk. Dan regretted not having gone any further than that, but even getting this far had taken him weeks.
Every step his mother took sent shockwaves through the land on which he stood, a vast forest of brown towers extending up to the sky the sky, blocking off most sunlight and trapping in his mother's body heat. “Oh, Danny,” she said, “it's been so long since you've ridden on mama's chest. You remember how I used to leave you down there for hours at a time, my little flea? You had so much fun!”
Daniel remembered something like that, only instead of having fun, he remembered fighting for some semblance of stability on the constantly jiggling ground, failing, and being thrown about for hours on end, or having to keep himself afloat in drops of her sweat that were as huge lakes to him. He'd thought himself free from such torture after leaving home, but now he was to be subjected to it yet again, along with another couple million people who would probably wind up as his mom's little pets.
After a brief stroll through the forest, Rebecca eventually made it back to her home. Once inside, she went up to her room, setting the city down on her dresser. “Ah, here we are. Welcome to your new home, everybody!” she said to the city she held. “I'll be looking after you from now on. Don't worry, I'm an experienced mother of two, and I know exactly how to take of a bunch of cute little specks like you. My name's Rebecca, but I'd be honored if you could all call me 'mama'! Anyway, make yourselves at home! You can wander out of your city if you want; just don't go too far so we can avoid any accidents, alright? See you later, dears,” she said, blowing them a kiss before carrying Daniel to the kitchen.
“It's so good to have you back Danny!” she said as she started cooking up some breakfast. “I'm sure you and all your friends will have a great time living here! You know, I you wanted to live with other micros so badly, you could have asked me to bring a little city home for you to live in. I would have been glad to do it! In fact, I don't know why it took me this long to bring one in, with how much I love you darling little micros. Oh, you're all just the sweetest little things to ever exist! That's why I married your father, you know.”
“Yes, I know, mom,” Dan said. What he didn't know was how his dad could have put up with all her... eccentricities. Maybe that was what he'd liked about her, though; who could say? For his own part, Daniel only wished, that he could have been born a macro like his sister. At least at that size he wouldn't see himself reduced to his mom's darling little plaything, even if he wouldn't be wholly free from her meddling. “Hey, mom? Could you set me down on a table? I'm getting a bit of an upset stomach from you walking around so much,” he lied.
“Oh, you poor dear! You should have told me earlier, Danny! Don't worry, though, just relax and know that your mama will take care of everything. Here, let me give you a kiss to help you get better.”
“Mom, I really don't think that will help.”
“Nonsense! Remember how every time you felt bad as a kid I would give you a kiss and it would always make you feel better?”
What Daniel remembered was her kisses being so overwhelmingly crushing that he would feign feeling better after one so she wouldn't give him any more.
“Mom, really I don't need any more kisses. I'm a grown man now, I can take care of myself, if you'll just let me. I don't need kisses, I just need some time alone, in my home.”
“But you are home!”
“I mean my own home, the one I've been living in for the past months.”
“Nonsense! What you need right now is to be taken care of!”
“Then I'll just go to the doctor or ask a friend to come over.” Assuming any of them would be brave enough to do so and risk getting steamrolled by his mother's claw if she decided to pick him up again. Man, what a mess she'd made of his life, and all in just one morning.
“Nonsense! There's no one in the world who knows how to take care of you better than I do. Now be a good boy and let your mother give you a kiss.”
Daniel found himself carried back onto his mom's palm. Looking up, he saw the vast back surface of her puckered lips coming closer, glistening with a bit of spit. They puckered up as they drew closer, until they fell on him, leaving him smothered against his mom's hand, unable to breathe from the incredible weight. “Mmmmwah!” Rebecca exclaimed dramatically as she pulled her head back, leaving Daniel stuck to her palm under a thick layer of saliva. “Feeling better, dear?”
“A bit, yeah,” Daniel said as he sat up and wiped the awful liquid off his face. “Could you please leave me on the table or something now?”
“Of course! Here you go, baby. I'll have your breakfast ready in a jiffy!” she said, leaving him on the kitchen table. Even from there he could feel her powerful steps shaking the earth, the terrible shaking ensuring that he would remain tense even now. Eventually, Rebecca finished making breakfast and sat down with him, giving him a tiny morsel to eat.
As loath as he was to say there was anything he liked about being back here, he had to admit that he had really missed his mom's cooking. He'd tried to replicate it, but it never came out quite right, and his job didn't leave him with much time to cook for himself.
His job... Daniel wondered if he'd even be able to go back to it after today. They probably wouldn't want him anywhere close to them, knowing his mom could come over at any time and demand to see him. No, he would probably be unemployable from now on, at least as far as this city was concerned. He'd have to find a completely different city to stay and stop using social media altogether, maybe even change his name, so he wouldn't be found out again.
The thought of leaving alone to find a new place to live had him feeling guilty—not for abandoning his mom, but for abandoning everyone in the city to her. Bad as it made him feel, though, he knew there was nothing he could do for them now. His mom wouldn't be willing to put them back, especially once he left and they were the only micros she had. No, they'd have to find their own way out of this, just like him.
“Well, Danny? Did my food help you feel better? Or do you need another kiss from mommy?”
“I think I'm quite alright now. Do you think you could leave me back in the city now? It's getting to be about time for me to go to work.”
“My little baby bear working? Don't be ridiculous, dear! Now that you're back with me, you don't need to work at all! I'll provide you with everything you need! But, if you really want to go to your little house, I suppose I can allow it. Stay here, I'll bring it over right away,” she said.
“Bring it here? Wait, mom, hold on!” Daniel yelled at her, but she was already well on her way to her room. A short while later, she returned carrying the city in her hand. “Mom, you didn't need to bring the whole city along!”
“I know, dear, but this way I can keep an eye on you while you're with your little friends! Here, let me take you to them.” She picked him up and dropped him on the ruined streets outside the remains of his house. Two thirds of it had been crushed between his mom's claw tips, leaving only a couple of rooms unaffected. He supposed he should count himself blessed for there being anything at all left of it, but all he felt was disappointment.
“Now, I expect all of you to take good care of my son Danny, you hear me?” Rebecca's voice rumbled through the city. “I'll keep watch over you to make sure you do. I'm sure you're all perfectly nice people who would never do him any harm, but accidents can happen, and you can't blame a mother for wanting to watch over her son,” she said as she took the city into the living room, where she set it down on the coffee table before kicking her feet up next to it.
Daniel's neighbors were all outside, looking up in terror at the miles-long paws towering above them, their monstrous toes wiggling playfully as the gigantic goddess to whom they belonged held them in her gaze. So focused on her were they that they didn't even spare a glance at Daniel, for which he was grateful. He went into his house, up to his room, and collapsed on the bed, hoping that when next he awoke he would find that this had all just been a terrible nightmare.
“Danny! Yoo-hoo, Danny? Are you down there, sweetie?”
“Mom?” muttered Daniel, having been startled awake by that familiar rumbling voice. “No. No, it can't be her. I never even told here where I live. There's no way she could have found me!” But it was her, as he learned when he looked out the window and saw that familiar row of brown-furred toes on the horizon, dwarfing the whole city.
