Bess Visits Alexandria
=s worldBetty was staffing the information desk at Trans. Universe Travel Company when the blond woman came in the door. She was about 5'6'
= in height and wearing a T-shirt and light brown shorts. Her face was covered with scratches and bruise marks. She looked like she had been in a fight and lost.A
Can I help you?@ Betty asked.A
Maybe. Where do I go to launch a complaint?@A
Since we have no department to handle complaints. Either myself or the manager would handle it. May I ask the nature of the complaint Ms.?@A
Cash. Bess Cash. When I purchased the visitor=s rights to earth #189. I was supposed to be the only giantess there.@A
Other women visited your world without permission?@ Betty asked.A
Actually according to Alexandria I was the invader.@A
Can you give her full name? Maybe we got her on file.@Bess shook her head.
A
I doubt that very much. I guess I should give you the whole story of what happened on Earth#189.@When I arrived at Earth#189. The first thing I did was look around. At first glance, nothing seemed unusual. Everything was about a hundred times smaller than it is here. Typical man bug size. I planted my marker flag, and proclaimed the world to be mine.
After doing some scouting around I came across a man bug city. Wanting to put a show for the locals I decided to go on a Godzilla style rampage. I headed for the downtown. Crushing everything in my path; Man bugs, cars, trucks you name it. Then once downtown, I started throwing punches at buildings. They cracked under the pressure and I managed to turn the smaller buildings into rubble. With an hour, a downtown was in ruins and thousands of man bugs were dead.
After a brief rest. I decided to head for the next city. After a ten minute walk, I found one. I decided to address its citizens.
A
Attention Man bugs. I am Bess Cash. Your new goddess. You will obey me or else.@The man bugs began to protest. Saying things like
ANot another goddess.@ or AWe are not bugs.@A
Wait a minute. You could hear what the man bugs were saying?@A
I had special hearing equipment with me. I also had a magnification glass with me.@A
Wow. You take ruling a world seriously.@Thank you Betty. Anyway a few moments, the crowd of man bugs had quieted down. And a man stepped forward.
A
I=m Billy Stone Mayor of Pleasant Bay. Who are you and what do you want?@A
I am Bess Cash. But you can call me the goddess. This world is now my property. You are my subjects.@A
I don=t think so.@ He replied.A
Be reasonable Mr. Stone. Have you seen a goddess as powerful as I before?@A
Actually I have seen two goddesses. And they were a lot bigger than you are.@I didn
=t expect this type of answer.A
And who might these goddesses be?@ I askedA
Cheryl was the first, then she replaced by Alexandria. Both are 2500 feet tall. A far cry from your 550 feet.@I was getting annoyed. I thought he was playing some short of game with me.
A
I don=t believe you. You are my subjects and you will do what I say or else.@Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.
A
Go away.@ I cried.When my shoulder was tapped again, I turned around intending to confront whoever was bugging me. My intended insults died in my throat when I saw what was in front of me.
She was a brunette, dressed in some sort of military uniform. But what really caught my attention was her height. She was 25 feet tall. She looked me over then she grabbed me by the throat and lifted me off the ground.
A
I=m Alexandria Ward. Care to explain what your doing on my world?@A
Your world? I bought the rights to this world days ago.@A
You have no right to destroy cities and kill people.@I burst out laughing. Which proved to be a mistake.
A
What=s so funny?@ Alexandria asked.A
You sound like you actually care about these man bugs.@A
They are Human beings. Not bugs.@ She cried.She was really starting to get on my nerves. I wanted to get rid of her, so the planet would be mine. So I got out the gun I always carry around for emergencies and proceed to shoot her. I managed to put four bullets in her body. But to my shock, within seconds the wounds began to heal.
A
What are you?@ I criedA
A GTS-Goddess.@ She replied.I tried running for it, but she was faster than I. I tried to escape her grip but it was no use.
She told me to leave her world and never come back. Or else she would break every bone in my body. Seeing I had no choice. I agreed to her terms. With great sorrow I picked up my flag and headed home.
A
Well I never heard of anybody encountering a GTS-Goddess before. I will mention it to the manager.@A
Can I get my money back?@A
Sorry Bess. If you read the fine print. It says we can=t be reasonable for anything that happens on a parallel earth. After all it is mainly unexplored territory.@A
You bastards. I=m going to sue.@A
Good luck. We have some of finest lawyers in the world. Now leave before you=re thrown out.@The end for now
