The street was populated by nothing except dust, debris, paper, and a single car that sought to navigate through it all. It had little plan of where to go, only an intense need to get away from that. Even now as it narrowly avoided a fallen piece of building, it knew that a fate far worse awaited it should the driver ease off the gas by even the tiniest fraction of an…
Boom.
Faster.
BOOM!
Faster, dammit!
BOOM!
Not fast enough.
Despite flooring it, operating at maximum speed, the car found itself too slow. After all, it’s a trivial pursuit for even a child to outrace many toy cars, and as the adult-woman’s bare, pale foot descended upon the hot roof of the automobile, one could glean in her eyes a similar, child-like glee. A fire as her sole crunched the roof and hood, shattered the glass, popped the tires, and compressed the individual at the wheel until…
CRUUUUNCH!
Motor oil and blood mingled together on the cracked asphalt as Sadayo Kawakami ground her foot even harder into the street. Looking down and surveying the wreckage, she smirked, saying with a voice that rivaled the thundering of the gods, “My, my! You were going far too fast for that, and you didn’t even have a hall pass? Sighhhh~ I guess that’s why I had to send you to detention.” This was, of course, a grimly humorous taunt. Kawakami may have been a schoolteacher in a previous life, but her days of grading papers, passing out assignments, and even moonlighting as a Victorian maid… those were over. And the society that had forced her to do all this, grinding her under their heel, relentlessly, mercilessly… now that Kawakami could out-size skyscrapers, she thought it only fair to repay the fate she once languished under in kind. Tenfold.
Smirking, Kawakami spared nary a thought to the vehicle she had just snuffed out beneath the immaculate foot. It wasn’t the first – the smoking wreckage of the downtown area behind her could attest to that. She merely desired more toys to play with, more city to crush, more people to subjugate. She had only just recently achieved this new size, after all, and she didn’t want to waste even a single moment of it.
“Oh?” boomed Kawakami. She practically sneered as she observed from the burning husk a figure barely attempting to crawl out from the wrinkled, detached door. And with a slight shift of her foot, he was completely destroyed.
“Can’t have that can we?” said Kawakami as she giggled, allowing her inner childlike whimsy to come out as the reality of her unlimited power continued to intoxicate her.
Kawakami took in a deep, all-encompassing breath, one that buried the city in the wispy din of her exaltation. She then exhaled in rapturous delight, smiling as she straightened her skirt of the dust and minute scorches, and she surveyed her domain. With each breath of air she took, Kawakami’s complete and utter confidence in herself – and mounting disdain for the minuscule world she had quite literally grown to occupy – was reinforced.
