"I'm so sorry!" Ray stammers. "I don't even know what just happened! I told you we had to leave... Let's get out of here before I shrink too!"
"Oh, THANKS." you reply. "Glad you're concerned about safety now!" But he doesn't appear to hear you as he reaches down and wraps his giant fingers around your six-inch frame.
"Wow, you'll fit in my pocket! Here, I'll keep you safe," as he drops you into his hoodie pocket. You bounce around in a fleece-lined darkness as Ray bolts for the front door again, rainstorm be damned. You hear him open the car door and start it up, thrown to the back of the pocket as he floors it out of the driveway.
"Hey, we made it out!" he yells. "We'll get you safe and sound home. I bet this shrinking thing just wears off, right?"
"You better hope so!" you reply, though he can't hear you in there. 10 minutes later, you arrive back at your apartment. Ray's running up the stairs makes for a bumpy, queasy ride, but it's over quickly. Ray barrels into the kitchen where your other roommate, Mike, and his girlfriend, Lara, are sitting around the table.
"Guys, we've got a BIG problem," Ray says as he once again grabs you. He places you on the table and as your eyes adjust to the light, you see three large faces with mouths gaping open looking at you.
"Uh... hi?" you squeak.
"You know that creepy old mansion over in the forest? Don't ever go in there." Ray warns the others. You think (or hope) the shrinking will wear off eventually. But if it doesn't, you'll have to find some magic of your own, and maybe the quirky science professor that you and Lara study with at college will help. Now what are you going to do?
