Chapter 1: Keith

Beep! Beep! Beep! I could hear the alarm of the human going off. It was so loud, I pulled my cotton ball pillow over my head to block out the noise. I heard the human sit up, putting his feet on the floor, and stand. Once he was up he walked around getting ready for his day, signalling for me to get ready as well, one he left I needed to get in and get some more food, my supply was getting low. As I got ready I could hear the human saying goodbye to his room and heading out. He didnt have a huge house, well huge by his terms. Everything was huge to me. I got dressed and got my gear for climbing around his counters. My fish hook, a few cups I found in an old doll house the humans grandmother left behind, and my satchel full of other necessities. I took a quick look at the broken watch I used for time keeping, it was a little slow, but it worked well enough. 9:30, Ive got three hours till he comes back for a quick lunch, that should be plenty of time. I headed out of my hiding spot and arrived in the kitchen within ten minutes. 

I swung the hook a few times before throwing it up to catch the mug the human left on the counter. It caught on the first try, I tested it before climbing up, it was a little harder than normal since I havent been eating much lately, in total it took roughly five minutes to reach the top. I sat for a minute looking around. He moved everything around! How was I going to find anything?! Sighing I stood up and moved to the sugar glass, climbing up to get a few pieces. Cant take too many or itll attract ants. Once I had finished I got the last of the food that I needed and moved to the humans room. I got some fabric, and some more toothpicks. Only the stuff he wouldnt miss. The clock struck 12:30 and I froze, he was due to be home any minute. Quickly, I jumped down from his sink, using my fish hook to help. Once I was down I ran towards my hole. It was near his front door but I couldnt stay out like this. As if he knew it was the worst time, the door swung open and I fell on my back. Covering my face to protect me from the winters cold that came in. 

The human stood in the doorway for a minute before closing the door. He went to his shoe rack and put his shoes up before turning and looking right at me. Once again I was frozen in fear as we looked at each other. He dropped his phone, which landed with a loud THUD beside me. I flinched at the phone, and the human got on his knees, reaching down to pick me up. I stood and tried to run, but without realizing it I ran right into his fleshy, tanned hand. Falling back from the hit, he caught me in his other hand and lifted me to eye level. The human grabbed his phone in his other hand and stood up. I covered my head as the wind passed by me, when I looked at him again he started walking to the kitchen.

"What are you?" He set his phone on the counter and looked me over, turning his hand to see my front and back. I tried to turn so I could face him but he made me stay as I was. He was gentle, but assertive. "Can you speak?" He had me face him again. Dont say anything Kogane, Dont. Say. Anything. I crossed my arms a bit and looked away from him. That mustve made him upset because he poked me in the ribs, causing me to wince from him being a bit rough. "Hey, I asked you a question."  I pulled away from his hand, trying to speak but nothing came out, so I just nodded. "Really? Cool! What are you?" He repeated his first question. 

"I-Im a Little..." He looked confused

"A little what?"

"No, just a Little... Its what Ive called myself... since youre a giant human, Im a Little..." He nodded, seeming to understand my logic. His phone started to ring and he set me on the counter. 

"Stay there, Ill be right back, Little... Thing..." He grabbed his phone and walked out of the room, looking back to make sure I was still sitting where I should be. I was, he was too terrifying not to listen to. He could crush me at any second. Think Kogane, how are you going to get back to your hole if hes watching you like a hawk? I stood up slowly and reached for my bag before realizing it was left on the floor. There was no way I was getting it now! Id probably die if I tried! Sighing I sat back down, letting my head hang, wrapping my arms around my waist loosely. I knew what would happen next, it always happened, I was going to be trapped in a jar and treated like some kind of pet. Shown off to his friends and family, or hed hide me away, keep me all for himself. Bringing my knees to my chest, I wrapped my arms around my legs and started to cry softly. I dont want to be a pet, I didnt want him to find me. I was just fine getting supplies and staying hidden from him. How could I lose track of the time like that? I was so stupid! And now im going to pay for that mistake... 

I was so lost in my thoughts I couldnt hear the THUMP THUMP THUMPing of his feet on the floor. I felt a thumb on my back, rubbing it softly. Surprised, I jumped a little and looked up at the giants face, he had gotten on his knees so he wouldnt be as tall, but he was still terrifying. I backed up a few inches, but he put his hand behind me to stop me from running. I stood up and looked for an escape, my right was blocked by his arm, but if I was fast enough I could make it to the edge of the counter on my left. The drawer was open and I could hide in it until he gave up the  search. Taking in a deep breath I turned and bolted, heading for the drawer as fast as I could. For a second I thought I was fast enough and would make it, just for a second he let me believe I was able to get away. I got to the edge and jumped, nearly making it, until the humans hand appeared under me and caught me. 

Trapping me in his grasp he lifted his hand and tilted it so I would slide off it into a giant glass jar. I turned, trying to grab anything to stop me from going in, but to no avail. I was too far down, falling into the jar I fell on my left leg, it felt like it broke and I cried out in pain. The human set down the jar on the counter and I moved to the far edge away from him, holding onto my most likely now broken leg.
