The day was going pretty normal, same as usual, when we started hearing the booming again, same as yesterday. Before I even knew what I was doing, I was up from my seat and bolting out the door out the the yard.
The giant was back again, but was doing less damage than it had been the day before. It noticed me again, but this time didn't charge. It just stared at me with huge, ice blue eyes- no way!
"Mail..?" Its voice was meant to be quiet but, with its size, boomed through the city anyway.
"Mihael?" I yelled so he would hear me. The giant smiled and nodded. "How is that even possible? It was a dream!" I was screaming by the end. I was scared and confused. What was going on? This whole thing was impossible.
Suddenly, I was being lifted into the air. I screamed for him to put me down but he refused. He carried me through the city, somehow keeping his feet going through everything and not breaking anything, and keeping his hand solid enough to hold me.
I was terrified; but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel completely safe with him. The view was absolutely beautiful, being that high up. I looked up at the giant's face and noticed it was softer. Before, it was rough and angry and deformed, but now, it was still kind of deformed but it was looking a bit more like Mihael. And he was smiling.
He carried me to the beach that wasn't too far, and he sat against a small mountain. He opened his hand and I sat down in his palm. The world was breathtakingly beautiful from so high up. I wanted to say something to him, but I wasn't really sure what to say.
"Why did you take me like that?" I settled on, although it sounded weird and blurted out. He turned his head to look at me, a smile gracing his lips.
"I wanted to see the ocean." He whispered so it wouldn't be too loud. "I thought it would be nice to watch the world with someone." He bit his lip and turned away.
"Wow. A shy giant. Never thought I'd see the day.." I laughed and he looked back and began laughing with me. I wrapped my arms around his thumb to keep from falling off as his whole body shook. Scratch that- the whole mountain shook. I was getting the feeling Japan would be having an earthquake right about now.
He finally stopped laughing and noticed I was holding onto him for dear life. "Sorry.." He whispered, looking ashamed. "I didn't mean to scare you." I just laughed.
"Don't worry! That was actually kinda fun! Just don't do it too much, I don't know how much my stomach could handle." I smiled up at him and he smiled back. I felt really warm suddenly.
His body flickered, and I passed through his hand and was suddenly falling. He caught me again just before I hit the mountain side and he gently put me down on the beach. "Sorry.." He whispered, and he was gone. My body was in sensory overload from his hand going through me again and probably from falling this time too.
I started walking back towards the school, smoking near every cigarette I had on me, my mind working at full capacity to figure out an explanation for these strange events.
