Lola Knows How to Walk (TLH Macro Story)

There was once a bustling city, much like ones that you have most likely come across in your lifetime. People simply going about their business, living their lives, and never paying much of a mind to the grand scheme of things. As the weather presented a very pleasant and sunny atmosphere, the millions of citizens went to their jobs, their schools, their stores, and performing tasks that was certainly meaningful to each and every one of them in some way, shape or form.

It's a bit of a shame that they all went out so quickly, strangely, and yet so beautifully and most fittingly.

All of a sudden, there was a bright flash unlike any the tiny people had ever seen in their lives. They all covered their eyes to shield it from hurting them as much. At the same time, they were also baffled as to what could be the cause of such a light. It certainly couldn't be anything they, as a species, have ever created. All they knew at that moment was that whatever it was, it could only mean doom for all of them. As the flash finally dissipated to reveal the source, they didn't expect that said doom would come in such a...unique form.

The being that towered above them was a girl, and though she was most certainly a young one, the citizens could see that, in her own way, she was a very gorgeous creature. She had long and flowing blonde hair, a pink silk dress adorned with a sash, pearl earrings, and a tiara on her head, all of which gave her an aura of royalty as well as beauty. As she smiled and showed off her teeth, the people saw that there was a gap in her teeth. Though seen as a flaw in other human beings, it seemed to work for this giant girl.

As of now, the girl hadn't noticed the city below her, merely looking forward with her ocean-blue eyes half-closed to give a sense of casualness to her. The whole of the city figured that they were so small compared to her that she couldn't be able to see them with the naked eye, thus why she hadn't spoken to them as of yet.

The citizens were all so fixated on the image of this girl towering over them bigger than even Mt. Everest, that they barely noticed her take her first step.

Upon impact with the ground, her high heel released an earthquake that was several times more powerful than any recorded in human history. Everything her shoe came into contact with was obliterated instantly, crushed into nothing but dust under her weight. This impact also created a massive shockwave that severely damaged everything it came across. From the point of view of the city, it was hard to tell whether anyone died from it, though they could guess that at least someone did.

At the same time, though, it seemed that the girl didn't notice a single thing as she took her casual stroll. With the way she had her arms positioned and with her eyes half-closed, she seemed to be more practicing for some kind of pageant than paying the microbes at her feet any mind. There seemed to be no malice in her actions; she simply took a step, and the world at large could feel her power.

Each footstep she took afterwards went about the same way, as she got closer and closer to the city, each resulting tremor was much more powerful than the last. Even from how far she was, they could get a sense of how massive she was, but the closer she got, it seemed that she truly was larger than life. Several citizens had begun trying to escape, to flee the Goddess before she would deal unbiased death to them all. But even with their best efforts, very few even got to the edge before the girl was upon them.

With her finally at the edge of the city, her form blocking out the sun and covering the entire area in her shadow, they saw that her high heels were several times taller than even their biggest skyscraper, and it was this size difference over all others that told them all that they would meet their end today.

As the girl made her way into the city, not paying any attention to the invisible insects, several blocks at once were demolished absolutely with each step she took. In the space between the heel itself and the tread of her shoe, the shockwave only spared a few people and buildings, and when her foot lifted off the ground, they could all see that she left an imprint in the exact same shape as said heel and tread.

The city as a whole found its entire space under the girl's dress, and the experience was surreal, terrifying, and magnificent all at the same time. The metropolis was given a pinkish tint to everything, and in the midst of all the destruction, the citizens found little time to consider such a strange effect on them as much as the dress itself. The dress fluttered in the wind as the girl walked, and to the little people, it felt like being trapped in an enormous curtain, albeit one adorned by a gigantic giantess taking them all out with her casual walk.

The girl's footsteps alone took out most of the city, tens of thousands of people losing their lives to the destructive power of her lovely pink high heels. The survivors of said steps truly believed that they were the lucky ones, and that the Goddess had decided to spare them, at least for now. They felt they could go on to live rather fulfilling lives, and in the best case scenario, maybe even forget that this whole catastrophe never happened.

But her dress proved itself to be more than just a surreal curtain.

No matter how much damage or survivors the giantess's footsteps left, it didn't matter in the long run, because as such, the beautiful silk dress she wore dragged along behind her. This dragging dress would be what decided all their fates, no matter how much they begged, pleaded and prayed.

The second that the silk wall hit the buildings still standing, it was clear that there was no hope for any of them at all. Every single building the silk hit was turned into rubble upon impact, and any person it came into contact with died instantly. Everyone that could run did, could hide tried, but nothing they could have ever done would help them avoid something as simple as the Goddess's outfit. Once she finally passed over the city in full, there was nothing left but a trail of destruction following behind.

None survived her.

After Lola made her way over the city, she looked back for a brief moment at the remains left behind. All this time, she could faintly hear the screams that her microscopic subjects let out, and it only made it all the more satisfying for her to end their lives. Though she maintained an air of unawareness to it all, as the screams finally died down, she glanced back at what used to be a bustling metropolis and allowed herself an evil smirk before turning her eyes back to the front. Even this brief look back was much more than that pathetic settlement deserved. Such a puny little habitation is hardly worth the thought of a Goddess like her.
