Gone Shopping
Life is cheap, especially if you male
Chapter 1
by Sweigard89
The soft humming of the lights overhead mingle with the mellow modern upbeat music drifting down from the speakers overhead as the store comes to life, shelf stockers making their way putting up last minute inventory as the doors begin to slide open more often as women of all different life styles come in to get their shopping done for the day. You might wonder why I stated "women" instead of "people", and under normal circumstances, that would be a wonderful question. I'll just assume your new to these parts of the universe or reality and give a quick backstory. You see, life was going pretty decent for awhile. Yes, there was wars, famine, water shortages and global warming, but if you lived in a first world country like I did, life was pretty good. Now, it's still up for debate if it matters any where the virus came from. Some say it came from a government funded science lab and introduced into the world population as population control. Others say it came from the depths of the deforesting amazon forest or defrosting artic tundra, mother natures **** on the brutality we've been putting her through. In the end, my opinion for all it's worth, I think it doesn't matter much. The virus swept the globe, shrinking men at a rate of 99.99% to various heights from one inch to one foot overnight. At first, civilization was in chaos. Male dominant lead governments spending millions to try to find a cure, men disappearing under mysterious circumstances as women found a way out of abusive relationships, black market rings selling captured men of all reputations. Eventually, groups of women reorganized governments, businesses, and communities. What was left of the shrunken men were rounded up under the promise of a research for a cure, governments and science corporations offering substantial amounts of money for "specimens". Sooner than one would like to believe, research was abandoned and the left over "stock"was sold off to big corporations to be sold in grocery stores, super market, and special markets. And I guess that's how I ended up in this box, a clear plastic window so women can see what I look like and how big I am. By my estimation, I about seven inches tall with my old build, just alot smaller in height.
What's next?

What would happen if a virus swept across the world, upending the male dominant lead civilization as we knew it? I write these stories during breaks at work on my phone while they're fresh in my mind, so they just have basic punctuation in one long paragraph broken up into sentences. Some day I'll get around to putting them in proper story and paragraph form. Until then, enjoy the rough draft.
