"W, what?" Melissa stammers, jerking backwards.
You cant contain yourself anymore. "Growing, immortality, goddesses, crazy liquids!? Goddamn, I cant take it!"
"What are you saying," Melissa asks, eyes wide open.
"The stuff you drank is messing with your brain, Melissa!" You retort, "You think your god now or something?"
"I am god," Melissa says flatly, narrowing her eyes at you.
"You aint god, babe. That stuff... that stuff is evil. I can feel it. You got to get rid of it or tell it to get rid of the stuff it gave you."
"Silly boy," Melissa muses to herself.
"Im tell'n ya, Its giving out all this bad mojo. Besides, you cant go out and tell everyone to obey you! Its ameri-"
Suddenly it hits you that Melissa is slightly larger than before, and is expanding at a smooth, continuous rate.
Melissa stands, her head moving away deep into the shadows above. You feel tiny standing in front of her. She is still growing.
She runs her hands along a body wished into perfection and stiffles a laugh. "Just look at me. Im smarter than you or any of them think. Im stronger too. And more beutiful. Im better than everyone else who thinks they have the stuff to rule. Im god, Smokes."
You muster enough courage to speak to the titanic temptress. This is unreal, you think to yourself. "You aint god, goddamnit! The stuff is messing with your mind."
"Shut the fuck up," Melissa thunders, "Im not gonna listen anymore. Your so stupid. So damn stupid. You could have been right next to me through all of it. You could have been anything but one of THEM! But, your one of them now. And I gotta punish you for it."
She must be at least ten feet tall. Her head bumps against the ceiling. You feel like less than a child under her gaze. Melissa places her hands on her hips.
"How shall I punish you?"
