You felt really weird and weak, and for a moment you feared you would black out. The heat radiating from all around you, the lack of light, the compressed room, but wait, weren't the walls around you way more closer to you a few seconds ago?
What happened, where am I, you reasoned for a moment then it hit you again, the two boys, one of them had reached his hand inside the portal and, he enclosed it around you, yes? ... Did he pull also it out of the portal, together with you!!?
“Hello!?”, you shouted a little bit nervous and still with a weak voice, “Kid, please open your fist, it's dangerous!!”.
Nothing.
Maybe I have to shout louder, “HELLO!? PLEASE LE...”.
Suddenly light streamed into your prison from all around you, yes yes! The boy must have heard you and let you out again.
Still sitting on your butt and holding your hands in front of your eyes to block the bright light, you tried to focus on something. When the vision got cleared things came into view and you spoke with relieved voice, “Geez, for a moment I though you had...”.
You stopped your sentence just as you realized something was horribly wrong. You weren't in your lab anymore. Bright sunlight was hitting your face! You were... outside?
Near to panic you looked around, the surface you were sitting on looked really strange. Skin-colored, and with, weird looking, arm wide grooves embedded into it.
“No, no..., am I still in the boys hand? But why does it look so different, what happened!?”.
Suddenly a huge shadow fell over you, making your vision also much better. Slowly you rose your head, with a very sick feeling in your backbone. “No... this cant be.”, you noticed your face becoming pale, and you gulped with a dry mouth.

Ryan just stood there silently, staring at his hand.
“What is it?” Andrew asked, pointing at his best friends opened hand.
“Dude, that's weird...”, “I thought there was a tiny person inside that thingy”, “wait a second, let me give it a closer look.”
Bringing his hand closer to his eyes, the boy tried to focus on the tiny object lying in the middle of his hand. It was a little bit smaller than an ant, actually it looked exactly like an ant to the boy.
Impatience grew bigger and bigger inside of Andrew, looking at his best friend who tried to figure out what he had just brought back out of that weird portal, which wasn't there anymore.
“What is it!?”, Andrew asked again, this time stepping closer to Ryan, and also moving his head close to his best friends palm.
Andrew had his eyes focused on Ryan’s face to figure out if it was something of interest his friend was holding in his hand, or maybe just something totally ordinary, something totally boring..., something, like a bug.
Not getting an answer, he moved his eyes too on the little something laying in the middle of his best friends hand.
What were the two boys looking at?
