How Big Is Too Big ? A Story Of Epic Size. By : The Usual Suspects
Chapter 1 - Terry
"You're too big." his mind told himself. Terry looked down at himself. It wasn't easy being a timber wolf-taur, let alone one as big as he was. He could pick up macros in his hand paw, they wouldn't take up a whole lot of space in them as well. Most would freak out when he did that, as they were used to picking up normal folks in their hand paws, not themselves being handled that way.
All Terry wanted was a friend, but at his size he seemed all alone. Why did he have to be 1,000ft large, it was as if fate had played a cruel joke on him, his parents weren't like this, in fact they were regular sized as far as macros go, yet for some odd reason he was born with an extra growth gene it seemed, in a short space of time he grew bigger then his mom & dad.
"Was this a curse?" he wondered to himself. To him it seemed that way, all alone in the world that was too small for his great size. He wanted to get away from it all, go someplace out in the wilderness, far from everyone. He made up his mind, he would do just that. He liked his home, but he couldn't stay there for in his mind he wasn't welcomed here anymore, too big for his own good.
He had heard rumors, stories of a land far away where no other fur, or even macro fur for that matter was found, simply called "No Furs Land" he would go there to be all alone he told himself. Away from the stares, away from folks telling him "You're too big." Someplace he would spend the rest of his life in.
Little did he know he was about to have an adventure like he couldn't have ever imagined.
Terry left his home, his country, the land he grew up in, in more ways then one. He was off to America, and "No Furs Land" that was located in the west in the Rocky Mountains. The trip wasn't very long, not for him anyhow. Crossing the Atlantic from England was just a short swim for him, no sea creatures bothered him on his trip. Why would they, he was incredibly huge to them.
Once in America he was surprised by it's vastness, well, compared to the island that is England, as he never ventured very far from home. Mostly because of how often he frightened folks there with his hugeness. Folks in the East part of the US were skittish around him, so asking for directions was easier said then done. This made him sad as he thought these folks would be a bit braver.
It was the same story as he made his way slowly towards "No Furs Land" However the closer he got to his destination the less skittish folks were towards him, and this made him curious, why wouldn't they be scared of him, wasn't he the biggest fur they had ever seen? His attitude changed as he got closer to his goal. He was no longer afraid of his own size and power as well.
He was more at ease as he approached the West and the Rocky Mountains. Perhaps he didn't have to stay in "No Furs Land" after all, perhaps he could travel outside of it, these folks in these parts we're friendly as a matter of fact, as if his impressive size wasn't all that impressive to them. Perhaps they've seen folks his size around these parts he thought.
This thought made his heart race, perhaps he wasn't all alone after all. He could at long last have someone to talk to, be friends with, hang out with, maybe even.... His mind stopped on that thought.... For he was now at the border of Colorado.... He looked into the state, and there just inside the border was a paw print.
Now mind you he knew what a paw print was, he had seen his own after all, he left a wake of them behind him even though he tried to be light on his paws he left a trail of them where ever he had traveled. However this paw print just inside the border of Colorado made him for the first time in his life feel small, very small at that. He slowly walked towards it to compare one of his own foot paws to the print.
This must be how Macros feel around himself he thought as he compared the titanic paw print to one of his foot paws. He could see the dermal ridges in the print clearly. Whatever made this print could squish him easily between two toes as if he were a microfur. He felt like one too looking at this massive paw print. Impossible he thought, nothing could be that big.
Well, you are as big as you are he reasoned in his mind, so why wouldn't there be an even bigger fur out there. He carefully made his way into Colorado, glancing about as not run into whatever made that paw print. However he saw that normal sized folks were playing around in the print as if it wasn't dangerous at all. A few macros were as well, as if it was nothing to fear at all.
These folks were certainly braver then he, that much was certain. Terry let himself be more at ease watching others act as if the print was no big deal. As if they knew where it had come from, another print wasn't too far away from the first. Terry soon realized they were heading right for "No Furs Land" the Rocky Mountains. He came all this way for this?
He wondered if it was too late to go back home, no he told himself, you came this far, keep going. Something inside him was more curious then afraid of whatever had made these prints. He followed them into "No Furs Land" uncertain what he'd find there.
Chapter 2 - Woulfe
It was nightfall when Terry climbed over the top of the first set of mountains, beyond was a huge valley in total darkness. He couldn't see a thing for the mountains on both sides of the valley made it like a bowl, light could only get in if it was daylight. His night vision helped a little bit, but all he could see were basic shapes in the valley itself, that would have to do for now.
In the center of the valley looked like to Terry some outcropping of mountains there, he would rest there until tomorrow to continue his journey, for he lost track of the prints in the darkness. The mountains weren't like any he had crossed before, something was odd about them. He couldn't put his finger on it, oh well he was too tired to care after his long trip here anyway.
Terry dreamed some very odd dreams, well for him they were anyway, he dreamed he found what made the prints, it was an even bigger version of himself, this struck him as odd, as he knew he was one of a kind as far as timber wolf-taurs went anyway. In the dream he was trapped between two toes that were bigger then himself and seemed to grow bigger or he was shrinking one or the other.
Terry awoke to a sun up in the sky. It must of been 9 o' clock in the morning. What a strange dream he had. Looking around the mountains he had climbed on he suddenly knew this was no mountains at all. Thick black fur surrounded him, he had to stand up to see over it. What he saw when he stood up made his heart jump. He was on a massive black wolf.
Now this is what had made the prints he saw before, he was certain of it. But it's one thing to see the prints, it's another to be wake up laying on made them. He realized he was smack in the middle of the wolf's chest. Massive pecs towered over him from where he was. He was in panic mode. Well, until he realized the wolf was sleeping soundly.
Terry calmed down once he realized the titan wolf was asleep. No need to panic just yet he told himself. He crawled around on the wolf to get his bearings. Soon he found the neck of the titan, where he discovered a blue collar with a bell on it and several dog tags. One of the tags read simply 'Woulfe' on it.
So that's his name Terry thought. The tag was bigger then himself, but not to the point where he couldn't pick it up to look at it to see if there was more information on it. Terry turned the tag over, on the other side of the tag it had more information indeed. Height 1,000,000ft - Terry stopped reading after that. 1,000,000ft? No wonder he felt so tiny next to this wolf, he was tiny next to this wolf.
Terry put the tag back down and backed away slowly. Now this wolf was indeed too big in his book. He found himself on one of the wolf's hand paws as he walked. It was pads side up. Terry looked at the huge pads, no blood, no concrete dust, no signs of death or destruction on them. Terry felt a little more at ease. Okay not one of those he thought to himself.
It was at this point Woulfe woke up to greet the day. Terry fainted at the site of this titan wolf yawning and sitting upright as he awoke. The wolf was huge as it was laying down, sitting up it looked even bigger then Terry thought it would, this is why he fainted.
