Genre: Fantasy/Romance Characters: Professional DJ (LAU) & and giant Setting: Gym

“Red is my favorite color,” Lau Yin Hao said as he deliberately put on his burgundy colored shoes. Today was his workout day. He was determined to get fit so that women wouldn’t treat him as if he was invisible. Lau was lonely. Growing up as a child he never learned to socialize. Everyday, he basked in the warm bosom of maternal care and he was content. Content to be friendless and alone. However, all good things must come to an end. His mother eventually got fed up with his incessant clinging, and left him. Lau never felt so lost before in his life; he drowned in the ephemeral comfort his protein shakes and DJ’ing provided for him. His only companion was his music, and his abnormally large biceps.

The day was warm and sunny with soft blades of winds shredding through the grass, but Lau couldn’t see such beauty. He shambled towards the gym. As he prepared himself for the 20 reps of bicep curls to follow, he caught something in the corner of his eye. A giant. She was the most beautiful giant Lau has ever seen. It’s as if everything began to blur as Lau couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Lau somewhat knew her name, it was Jessie, or James, or something, he wasn’t sure. He saw her around the gym, but he never got the courage to converse with her. He also never got a clear look of her. But her beauty, it was breathtaking. It was better than Swedish House Mafia, it was better than every drop in every song Lau has ever created. She was perfection. However, Lau knew he wasn’t good enough for her. His whole life he has told himself that he wasn’t good enough. The giant towered among the buildings and trees while Lau was just a feeble and tiny soul. However, a strong compulsion motivated him to go after her.

As the rain cleared, he started walking home from his daily workout. On his way home, he passed a puddle perfectly reflecting his body image. THAT was when the lightbulb went off! He stood there in awe, looking at the reflection, staring at that image, drooling over those…. MASSIVE BICEPS. He realized… as small as his body might be, his arms… HIS ABNORMALLY LARGE ARMS… they were the answer. He knew that even though his body stood no chance to please such a giant, such a beautiful giant, he had his biceps. He thought to himself… even if I am as tall as Napoleon… I have something he doesn’t… observing the reflection in the puddle, flexing, “yep, I got dem guns”.

Hurrying back home, with the new self-discovery of his abnormally large biceps, he was prepared, he was ready, he WANTED to make a move. As morning came by in a moments notice, he was prepared…

So as of that moment, he began to muster all the courage he’s ever had and he walked straight up to the girl. Up close, she seemed different. Although she was still pretty, she had one major difference. She did not seem half as tall as from afar. In fact, Lau realised that he was taller than her. “Must’ve been some strange delusional physics concept,” he thought. As soon as he was about to say something, she interrupted and spoke first.

“Your name’s Lau right? Also known by the pseudonym of the_sovereign?” Baffled and honored, he squinted and said “yes,” still suspicious about how she knew. “I went to your concert! The one with tens of thousands of people… so I’m pretty sure you don’t know me. I liked your songs anyways! That drop on ‘I am Storm’ was fantastic!” The DJ chuckled and casually but slyly brushed back his hair. “Well I’m glad you liked it. It took a long time to make it but it seems to have sure paid off. I did see you by the way! I noticed.”

Suddenly, everything around Lau began to blur and tear apart. He awoke from his usual day dream routine. Lau had became so accustomed to being alone and friendless that he daydreamed on a constant basis to escape from the harshness of reality. He looked at the giant. She was still tall, much taller than Lau. Lau didn’t know if it was the rush of adrenaline from his swagtastic workout or if it was that he finally turned into a man, but he walked straight towards Jessie, and said “Hi” “BLEEERRGGGGOOOOOOOO” “What?” Brandon forgot that he couldn’t speak giant, he cursed himself for ever making such a terrible miscalculation. This was his one shot, one moment, to seize everything he ever wanted, he had to capture it. “Hi, my name is Brandon, what’s your name?” “NEEEEJIIIIIROOOOOOXXX123” “So you have numbers in your name?” “SWAAGGHUURRRDURRR” “So...uhh..thats nice….Do you want to go out with me?” “SWWAAAAAAAAAGGGG??!” “Um i don’t know what that is” “YOLOSWAGCEEBS” “Is that a yes?” “OIII KHAANNTT” Brandon was depressed, that was the only word he knew in Giant. Rejection. He was so accustomed to it all through life. But this was different. This stung. Brandon went home to his sad life and sad house and ate sad food and wore sad shoes for the rest of his life.
