Slowly, Mat crept across the wooden floorboards of what appeared to be a galleon that had been marooned, however - it was in the middle of the desert. It had what appeared to be an air bladder overhead, but it was so torn that it didn't hold anything that could make the ship air-worthy. He was being cautious this time around, curious about the place he was in - He didn't recall a desert from before...
Then he remembered - the time he was stuck in the tread of someone's boot for days on end... They were in the desert, this was their world. Slowly he crept around the corner, listening... Unfortunate for him though, Puzzle was extremely light on her feet. She had to be in order to steal what she needed to survive and bring food back for her combat kitties. Chumley's gotta' eat!
As soon as Mat rounded the corner, he came face-to-face with the underside of Puzzle's foot. Her heel hovered ominously over him as she was crouched and gathering supplies. Instantly, the heat and smell washed over his tiny body causing a pulse of pleasureful energy to rush through him. Adrenaline surged, and he couldn't bring himself to leave... The sight was amazing, all of the grime and sweat on the soles of her feet - it was like she never washed them really. In a way it was really pretty...
Then she stood up. Her heel came down and her foot slid back, slamming Mat face-down into the ground as her skin descended. She didn't step down though, she didn't even pin him down. He rolled to his back as she stood with her foot hovering nearly on the tip of his nose. The smell was so intense here, and he recognized it perfectly. His breathing was shaky as he exhaled, his tiny body quaking in anticipation as her foot lowered. The skin mushed into his face first, his skull creaked as the pressure mounted...
Then back up - a tease. He took a deep breath in, leaning upward to smell as her sweat rolled down his tiny face. Her foot came down once more, mushing her grimy skin into his little face... But this time it didn't relent. His skull creaked before it snapped, draining clear liquid from his little ears as the cerebrospinal fluid escaped his tiny dome. His brain was still the command center for his body - which went limp after... However, his spirit was his existence now. He continued to feel, everything...
Her foot descended, his tiny legs caught under the fabric of her foot wraps as she shifted her weight onto his tiny body. It was an intense ordeal for him as he was crushed flat once more, this time from his skull down to his toes. The gory sight would have been worse were he larger, but he was incredibly small.
"Exactly what I need..." Puzzle cooed as she turned to walk away, Mat's tiny body sticking to her foot like all of the other grime that surrounded him.
*** Three Hours Later ***
She finally had all she needed for the little device she was constructing for the day. It was her project, she had plenty of water and food for the kitties and herself today. Later she'd go out and do some more raiding for food, but today was a tinkering day. She casually made her way up to the helm of the ship and pulled over a chair, the table next to her filled with little tools she could use to complete her task. Happily, the feline kicked her feet up on the railing and began to tinker...
She was completely oblivious of the tortured soul she had on the sole of her foot. Mat's spirit refused to leave, his body being smashed over and over for hours as Puzzle ran around her ship. The more she walked, the more he became one with the caked-in dirt and rancid sweat of her feet. Puzzle was grimy, and now Mat was part of it. Her toes wiggled and flexed every so often, adding insult to injury as she tinkered with her little devices.
~It took 4 days for Mat's soul to leave his body... By then, he had been ground so deeply into Puzzle's grimy skin that he was merely an unrecognizable smudge of black and brown. The only tell-tale sign of his existence, was his blue hair... His body washed off her foot a week later, running barefoot through some of the city's water supply as she attempted to flee authorities. She was successful, and managed to loot some good food for her and her feline family~
