"Welcome!" said a loud voice, startling Julie.
It took her a while to locate its source. Looking up, she saw the tallest woman she had ever seen in her life standing beside the entrance. She had to be over seven feet tall, maybe even more than ten. It was hard to tell in the dimly lit tent and she was sure that the management was using some kind of perspective trick to make her seem taller. The woman didn't appear lanky or obese, like most tall women Julie had seen. She had a very nice figure, with large breasts, a small waist and wide hips. She could have been a model if ... well, if she hadn't been so tall. She even looked a little like the actress from that movie - "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman". Whoever ran the place was obviously playing up on the resemblance. She was wearing the same tight white skirt and top made famous in the movie posters.
"Damn! You are tall!" said Joy.
Julie had been so entranced that she didn't notice her sister standing beside her.
"Thanks, I hadn't noticed," said the woman.
"Joy, don't be rude," said Julie.
The woman chuckled.
"It's okay. I have heard much worse. And it is why I am here, after all," said the woman.
"How did you get so big?" asked Joy.
The woman shrugged her shoulders.
"Just ate my vegetables and drank a lot of milk, I guess. Maybe if you girls do the same you will grow as big as me one day," she said with a smile.
No thanks, thought Julie. She wouldn't mind being a little taller, but she didn't want to look like a freak.
"What's it like? Being that tall?" asked Joy.
"It's hard to describe. Why don't you find out for yourself?" said the woman.
She bent down and pointed a long, large manicured finger at a stand with a small sign that read:
The world's tallest woman!
And she is still growing!
Sitting on the stand was a small red button, covered by a layer of fine dust. Beside the button was a smaller message.

Julie could see underneath the stand. It appeared to be empty and nothing seemed to be connected to the button. She wasn't sure how it was supposed to work. It looked broken. Still, she couldn't help but get a bad vibe from it.
"Really? This will show me what it is like to be you?" asked Joy.
"Yes, go ahead. Push the button, " said the woman eagerly.
A little too eagerly for Julie's liking. But it didn't seem to bother Joy as reached out towards the button...
