As you looked out on the beautiful harbour you wondered to yourself why no one ever came on holiday here. The weather was nice, the people were friendly and it was quiet - really quiet.
The reclusive island nation you were visiting had always been on the no-fly lists for many countries, including your own. This was because it was run by a secretive dictator. Little was known about her other than she insisted that she be referred to as the island's empress instead of dictator. Her administration was known for making people disappear - even tourists.
But recently the island had been making a push to try and make itself more welcoming, no doubt seeing how neighbouring nations were becoming ridiculously wealthy from their tourism industries. With flights open to the island, and more importantly cheap, you decided to take your vacation there.
You'd spent your first morning exploring the harbour town you were staying in. The people were keen to help but there were very few of them - seemingly just enough to keep the town running and that was it. They were obviously very happy to have you there but not keen to talk too much, as soon as conversation turned towards anything political they would make their excuses and leave. The island's administration may have been trying to make itself more friendly towards tourists but was obviously treating its inhabitants the same.
You appeared to be the only tourist around, which was fine by you as you wanted the quiet. You wandered up the hills outside the town after lunch to take in the views. As you stared out to sea you felt the ground shake. You weren't too concerned at first as the brochure had mentioned that earthquakes were commonly reported in the region - but your concern grew with the strength of the quakes.
You then saw the source of the quakes - a gigantic woman walking along the coast. She wore only a bikini, which given her ample bosom you could understand. She marched towards the town and stopped at the opening of the harbour before bending down and addressing the tiny people working on the docks below. She spoke to them but her voice was so loud you could hear her from your viewpoint.
"Good morning citizens." she began.
You heard the faint murmur of the harbour workers below shouting "Hail Empress."
She obviously took pleasure in that as she smiled before continuing, "Have any of you seen our little tourist this morning?"
You heard someone shout something but couldn't make out what. The Empress turned in your direction and you could see her scanning the hills for you. Eventually her eyes settled on you.
"Ah, there you. Are you enjoying your stay?"
"It's wonderful" you shouted.
"Sorry, you'll have to speak up." she snapped with slight anger, "I do have excellent hearing but you are very small."
You bellowed this time, "It's wonderful!!"
"Ah good."
She seemed please with your response. You were being honest, it really was wonderful - especially the sight of her, though you were starting to see why people were scared of her rule.
"Well, if you need anything please let any of the residents know." she told you, before turning to face the town and saying pointedly, "Everyone here has the island's best interests at heart - or else."
When she turned back to look at you she must have noticed the look of shock on your face from her last remark.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you - we've just had problems with little rebellions in the past. All dealt with now though."
As she said this last part she patted her belly.
"As a consequence of those rebel's actions - and their actions alone - our island's population has been truly decimated."
You suspected the dwindling population was not down to just the rebels and wondered how many malcontents she'd had to consume to maintain her hefty chest.
"That's why we need tourism, we want people back on the island." she told you with a smile before a sudden switch to a stern stare, "So good reviews are all we expect from you when you get home, otherwise I'll go on a trip of my own and visit your little country."
You understood now why no one came to holiday here.
Meta: I've only recently discovered the busty beauty Ellie Mae, I think my interest was piqued when I saw her handle; EllieTheEmpress. I'd certainly be happy to serve an empress that looked like her - especially if she was as big as I made her in this collage. Her feet were obscured in the original photo but it seemed a waste not to keep the fully-body aspect of it so I needed a scene where I could hide them - deep sea water did the trick. I added a bit of reflection to make this shot a bit more interesting.
