Or OMG ! !! 1 ! ! in the title <| sep |>. do you think that she was looking for an excuse to break up ? Because , that ' s pretty special otherwise <| sep |> What compels the cats to run on the wheel ? Is it just fun ? <| sep |> Okay okay , so this is very much still a work in progress I ' ll most likely carry on editing even after I post it to here . This is my first ever writing prompt , and I had some difficulty settling into a writing style for this one , so constructive criticism would be appreciated Edit . Should ' ve actually looked up the scale of 2000 foot before I wrote this . Fuck that ' s big . Boom . A tremor shook the city . Light fixtures rattled , buildings groaned as they swayed in their foundations , and an uneasy disquiet settled over the land the hush of prey waiting out the great predator in their midst . As if by unspoken signal , the streets cleared and the town fell still . In a lonely office building , Jeremiah Hayes sighed . Thud . Car alarms blared , and dogs began to howl outside , birds took to the sky in a cacophony of noise . An unnatural darkness fell over the town , and the world held its breath as if in answer , a great , robotic clang echoed over the countryside . Jeremiah hunched his shoulders , pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers , and counted slowly to ten . Crack . Somewhere , a child began to wail . With an exasperated breath , Jeremiah shoved his chair away from his desk , ran a gnarled hand through his greying hair , and trudged toward the glass case in the corner of his office . Wishing desperately for a stiff drink , he instead turned toward the object laying pride of place within the cabinet ' s depths . He ' d barely managed to heave the almost comicallyenlarged megaphone to his shoulder when the ground shook once again . Oh for Hannah ! Temper finally peaking , Jeremiah stormed over to the window , shaking as it was within its frame . Craning his neck to the sky , he squared his shoulders , awkwardly threw open the window onehanded and leant outHannah Joanne Hayes , get here right now ! Upon the darkened horizon , a great shape loomed . The world seemed to tilt upon its axis as the monstrosity before him span to face the office building . He watched in sick fascination as a titanic limb stretched and bent towards the town planes , dotted as they were around the figure like flies , scrambled to get out of the way as the figure moved . In one great step , the figure was level with the town , and Jeremiah held his breath Oh god , sorry , sorry ! I ' ll pay for it , I swear , I just Let me just get a pen , and I ' ll jot my name down and you can A redfaced figure poked out from the remains of the building , leveled by the giant ' s step . I know your name , you bleeding great Nancy ! You ' re always in the news , and it ' s not like we can ' t see you all the bloody time , wreaking havoc . Just last week you drained the reservoir because ' You were a little bit thirsty ' Well I mean I was , and apparently I need to file some sort of environmental taxes claim if I ever need a drink and it was taking ages , and I just thought , well maybe they wouldn ' t mind if I took a little bit and You trod on the swan ! You trod on a flock of swans ! The place went out of business because of you ! Did it ? Oh , well now I feel bad , but I got a really good shot whilst I was there . Look , let me just grab my tablet Jeremiah had reached his limit . Hannah ! The great shape turned . Dad ? No , it ' s Prince Phillip on holiday . Who else d ' you think it could be screaming at you through a megaphone ? Two voices spoke at once , the booming alto of his daughter ' s voice drowning out its reedy , warbling rival . A lot of people shout at me , Dad . The warbling voice returned Jeremiah looked down to see Mrs . Doyle , town ' s matronly busybody , stretched out of her window . In direct defiance to Newton and the laws of physics , she ' d somehow managed to secure herself to the window frame by only the strength of her left leg . Now , she folded her arms over her great bosom and fixed them with a glare , tea tray held artfully in hand . It ' s true , we do . I think there ' s a town megaphone being built sometime next year , so we can swear at her and things Jeremiah resisted the urge to roll his eyes . I ' d prefer it if you didn ' t swear or shout at my daughter . Only I can do that Hannah ' s wry tone sliced through his indignation . Need I remind you of the last time you shouted at things ? Because we all agree that was hilarious . Fenton loved it Jeremiah shuddered as The Incident replayed through his mind He ' d only wanted some time off , some time to himself , maybe take the dog for a walk , clear his head and Well . Hannah told him it ' d gone ' viral ' or some other such thing . Now he could scarcely take a step without hearing his own frantic voice screaming the name of their family dog and muttering profanities under his breath . He was still banned from Richmond Park . That wasn ' t funny Oh come on dad , it was pretty funny Somewhere below , a distant voice floated up on the breezeIt really was funny , Jerry Shut up , Dave ! Privacy was hard to come by when your offspring was several thousand feet tall . Finally rolling his eyes , Jeremiah adopted his best Fatherly Tone . Hannah , this is unacceptable Hannah ' s towering frame once more blocked out the sun as she settled into a precarious crouch over the train station . Trees snapped and swayed as she heaved a sigh nearby , a pigeon toppled off of a chimney . Her shoulders slumped as she finally met his eye . I know . I ' m sorry Dad . Despite himself , Jeremiah ' s heart softened just a little . He rubbed at his eyes , cast his gaze to the sky just once more for strength , and lifted the megaphone to his mouth . I know you are , love , but Have you tried something other than photography ? There ' s a power cut every time you charge that camera of yours , which in my mind is just absurdly large and I ' m absurdly large , Dad Yes well , we have Chenobyl to thank for that . What I thought taking you to the outskirts I don ' t know , but I can ' t keep footing the bill every time you black out the county . I ' m already working overtime , and I ' ve not put a dent in it . I mean really , darling , don ' t you think this is a bit much ? Don ' t you think you could , I don ' t know . try fitting in a bit more ? An earsplitting , shuddering gasp cut Jeremiah short , and his head whipped round as glass shattered in the office next door . Startled , he stared up at his wayward daughter . Her head was cradled in her colossal hands , and her chestnutbrown hair hung limply over her face , draped across the secondary school . Her shoulders shook . Jeremiah shifted from foot to foot , uneasy her teens had been bad enough before the radiation , and he really didn ' t want to see a teenage shouting match amplified by two thousand . He rubbed his free hand across his jaw and sighed , then steeled himself for his next sentence . I don ' t think I ' m being unreasonable , Hannah . You ' re causing everybody a lot of trouble here He took an alarmed step back as his daughter ' s head snapped up , her eyes redrimmed and a little wild . I get it , Dad ! I get it , okay ? ! I ' m huge , I ' m a burden , and I cause nothing but trouble , but what else can I do ? Because I really , really don ' t know anymore . I thought that if I gave back a little bit , if I showed everyone just how I see things , how tiny you all are to me , you ' d get it , but Hannah , I You don ' t ! Jeremiah ' s ears rang , and the world once again fell silent . He ' d scarcely opened his mouth before a low whisper reached his ears . I just want to be normal He could do nothing but watch helplessly as his daughter sobbed before him . Tears welling in his eyes , he hung his head in resignation . I know , darlingI know .
