A sort of a giant as a giant might truly be in this world. More size appropriate to us. It some gargantuan thing. But this story also has the super stud 'Tony' from some of my other tales as the giant. This guy that already has big balls being several feet taller and larger in size. So those balls (that are already big to me) are only much bigger. Again except for any details about the smoldering Tony (Giant) it's pure fiction. Enjoy ++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++ Jack and the Giant 'Balls (3) ... I had gotten very little sleep last night. Sitting up in bed just looking out the window at the bean stalk I had planted just a few days prior. Staring out to the dark silhouette of the almost fully erect tower of dark green something in the fields beyond the house. "Magic" I said to myself "It must truly be magic" I referred to what my friend had told me. A phrase mentioning the magic the seeds held. And how it would lead me to riches. Was this giant bean stick a road to riches. I knew not how it could be. Yes it was a fantastical thing to behold. But to what I had seen last night there were now pods of beans on it. Assuming that such a thing would have a vast amount of bean to farm. "Maybe I have to chop it down?" I then thought Well I headed out there after a hardy breakfast and several cups of coffee to go do just that. Thinking maybe the riches of the beans was higher up where I could not see. I grabbed the axe and headed out there. Arriving at the bean stalk to see it was even larger than last night. Another ox carts and a half thicker. "Wow" I said as I walked around the sheer mass of the trunk. Then I came back around and raised the axe. I was going to strike a blow to it to start the chopping. But as I did, I looked up. The sky was clearer so I could see up to where the thing pushed through the clouds above. But what was odd was that while most other clouds gently danced across the sky. The one attached to the stalk was unmoving. And the cloud was slightly darker than the rest of fluffy white. That was when my eye cought something up there. Right at the clouds edge. Like something sticking out from the trunk. It was very high up, so I could not make it out. But I was intrigued. "What is that?" I asked no one "Is there something there that may have the answers to this magic?" I put the axe down. Then looked at the bean stalk. I tapped at the hard surface. Looked at the trunk and the more defined vines wrapping around it. I placed my hand again between the vines in a slot in the side. Sliding my whole hand in. "Hmm" I sighed out "I wonder if I could climb this thing" "There had to be something up there" I gripped at the slot in the trunk and pulled myself up. Seeing that this monstrosity could easily hold me up. Then stepping back down for a moment. I looked about the stalk to see multiple slots between vines. Seeing them up the sides of the thing as I looked up. "Yes. I will go up there" I said to myself "I will see what up there at the top of this" "If there is a top " So I slipped a foot into a slot a few feet from the ground. The grabbed two holes up higher. Then I lifted myself up the side it the stalk. Moving up and to the side a few times. Seeing that I was already up my height and more. I looked down at the ground and then to the house in the distance. Then began to make my way up the side of the bean stalk. Moving slowly and steadily. Making sure I had sufficient grip and foot placement in the slots up the trees side. "I shall find our riches mother" I said as I looked back at the house again "They may be up at the summit if this thing" "But I am sure they are there" So I moved up the bean stalk. Slowly as I headed upwards. Checking my footing carefully for fear of a fall. And as I moved up the stalk I paused periodically to make sure I had a good hold of something, or just to stop and rest. Looking down on and off to the ground getting father and farther away. Getting more anxious as I moved up the thing. Praying I did not get dizzy or fall faint due to the height I was at. I was soon hundreds of feet up and I decided I could no longer look down. The fear of tumbling to my death a growing fear. I found myself clinging to the stalk. Pondering whether or not to just go back down to the safety of the ground. But I looked up again and saw it again. That piece of some object at the top of this thing. The item that had caught my attention so. So I took a breath and then resumed my climb. "How much further" I would say many times I would look up and see the top no closer. Or at least it appeared so. And Ias I was not going to look down I did not even know how far I was from home anymore. And it was getting a bit colder up here. So I had another worry. Up here in the atmosphere, would I freeze before reaching the top of the beanstalk. Would I go numb and then call down to death even if I was no longer in terror of the fall. "Please. Please" I huffed to the god's "Help me reach the top of this" And I continued up. Another hour or so before I looked up to see the top within reach. There was something there. Some obvious large item jutting from the side of the stalk. Up at the top where the clouds Connected to the stalk. Where the stalk disappeared Into the dense cloud cover. "A few hundred more yards" I said aloud "There it is." "But what is at the top?" That was something I had just considered. What was beyond the clouds above me. Was there just a golden chess with red ched attached to it. And how would I remove it from the stalk. And also how would I carry it down. Especially if it was heavy. These were thoughts that I just now considered. Here almost at the top of the stalk. I could easily fall with a load upon me like that. Why had I not considered this? And was this in all effects a foolish endeavour? Well I would soon find out. For as I got closer I sped up my charge up the side of this beanstalk. Wanting to get to whatever it was that lay at the summit. Another 10 minutes and I found myself a dozen feet from the object jutting out at the clouds edge. It was very cold there, and I felt a harsh stinging at my fingers. I worried about getting the item and going back down again. As the cold was becoming quite intense. "Wait. What is that?" I said as I looked at the object "There is nothing there." "But what is the dark area?" I was confused and concerned now. I was very cold and the object I had seen from so far below was nothing but a dark patch of nothing in the cloud. Like a dark hole or abyss of some sort. I had to see what was beyond it before I froze to death there at the side of the beanstalk. I reached for the dark spot and pushed at it. It was solid and slightly weighted, but not heavy. For as I pushed at it it gave. And then it pulled away from the bean stalk and it's connection to the clouds. Then a large chunk of it fell from it's connection and almost struck me. Then it plummeted down. Down, down, down it fell as it pulled away from the beanstalk. It was my first look down in a long while. And I watched as the large 3 foot wedge of soil fell towards earth. I quickly turned and cling to the beanstalk as I saw the distance below me. "Ohh my God!". I huffed "How did I dare such a task" I was almost frozen in fear. My hand still holding to the hole in the sky above me. I was sure I would fall to my death at any moment. Holding to the trunk of the stalk for dear life. That was when I noticed something. The hole above me. That dark patch that had turn out to be some grounding soil if some kind. There at the hole it was not cold. It was warmer that where I clung to the bean stalk. Much warmer. So I knew I had to go up higher. Into the hole in the sky and to where the clouds were, just to get out of the cold. So I took in a breath and lunged for the opening in the sky. It was thick too. At least several feet of thickness as I pushed in through the hole. Feeling warmer and warmer as I passed beyond the earth below me. Passing into and beyond the clouds and into a whole new world. One above the clouds.... ++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++-++ To be continued
