Despite now being gigantic, it was still the simple things that brought her pleasure.
This was because, though they were simple to her, they were life-changing for everyone else.
Her breath could easily send people flying, all she would have to do was sigh and she could clear a street.
A single footstep would cause masonry to fall, one in the right place could write off someone's car - or life.
But her favorite thing was to simply snap her fingers. Before her growth she'd always done it to try and grab attention - but people had soon learned to ignore her.
No one could ignore the snapping of her fingers now. She took great pleasure in seeing the little people clutch their ears as the shock-waves from her simple action passed over them.
It looked painful and no doubt left people with a lasting ringing in their ears - if not worse.
She revelled in the power she felt; to inflict such harm with nothing more than a click of her fingers... it was exhilarating.
META: I saw someone make a collage that looked like it was exploring this idea of a giantess deafening people with a finger snap - but on closer inspection it was just someone terrified of the giantess who was making a pinching gesture. I decided to experiment with some low rez stock images with ways to try and convey the shock-wave. In the end some simple zoom-blurring did the trick - so well in fact that it covered up the low-rez nature of the collage so I decided to share it.
