Just Keep Going Down

    by: Markus Author IconMail Icon
"Gosh Alex, there are a couple switches on this thing, I hope I hit the right one," says Sara. She squeezes the trigger and fires at Alex. Alex's mom turns away slightly, afraid of what the results might be. After a few seconds, Sara releases the trigger. There is an uncomfortable silence, then Sara asks, "how do you feel?" Just as Alex is about to respond, he starts shrinking again. "Nooo!" "Oh my, I am so sorry Alex," says his mom. Sara can do nothing besides watch her son shrink down past her knees. Everything around Alex grows higher and higher including his mom. Things that used to be in his reach are now huge and way above him. Alex approaches his mom's feet and that's when the shrinking starts to fade. Alex finds himself eye level with one of Sara's big toes. She is wearing her favorite pair of flip flops, so Alex guesses his height is near a couple inches.

Sara squints down at the floor trying to make out her shrunken son. "Look at him down there, he is so tiny and adorable. My feet seem so huge compared to him. I have to be very careful with him so he doesn't get hurt," thinks Sara. Alex thinks his mom looks like Nancy Archer from "Attack of the 50' woman." Just then, there is a knock at the door. "OH I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE? ALEX, WHY DON'T I TAKE CARE OF YOU FOR NOW, OKAY?" Before Alex replies, Sara squats down on the ground and reaches out for Alex. Her long slender fingers wrap around his body and she places him in the front pocket on her shirt. She sits the gun down and goes to answer the door. Next,

You have the following choices:

1. Sara's good friend Stacy has come by for a visit

*Pen*
2. a couple of Janet's friends are at the door

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
