You carefully make your way down the stairs, your small 100 cm frame feeling tiny against the towering walls of the kitchen. The morning sun streams in, illuminating the table where your mother and younger step-sister, both 200 cm, are eating breakfast

Your cereal bowl sits on the floor between their bare feet, just within reach, waiting for you to start. You haven’t begun eating yet, pausing for a moment as you take in the sight of them at the table. Your mother glances down at you with a warm expression, while your step-sister looks up from her plate, her height filling the room.

You glance at your bowl, then at the clock. School is waiting… though maybe today you don’t really want to go. The choice is yours.
