This choice: Liz, a 19 year old college student home for the summer • Go Back...Chapter #5Liz, the college student, finds her by: Unknown Liz had just gotten home a week ago from her University for her summer break. She was excited to be home, because she would be interning at the library this summer for Bridget. However, her internship didn't start for just over two weeks, so she had some time to kill in the meantime.
This morning, she had been on her way to meet one of her friends from high school at the local coffee shop. They were going to catch up after being away from each other for a year at different schools. The sun was out, the breeze was pleasant, and she was in a generally happy mood. She had been walking down the street when something over at the edge of the corner had caught her eye. It was moving, but it didn't look like an animal, like a mouse. She walked quickly over towards it until the shape became clearer and it looked like a tiny person, which didn't make very much sense to her, but she went over to it anyways.
"Hey," she said, kneeling down in front of the small person. "I know you, don't I? Your name is Nicole, right?"

And so she did. Nicole barely had time to react before Liz's pale hand circled around her torso, and lifted her off of the ground. She stood back up, holding the tiny woman up in her hand. "You've got a little doll bag and shoes and everything, and it's so adorable," Liz gushed.
"Please put me down," Nicole said. "Won't you help me?"
"I don't think there is anybody who can help you. I don't think anybody has ever shrunk before, do you?" Liz asked, cheerfully. It wasn't meant as a taunt - she was, in her mind, just stating the facts of the situation.
"Look, how about you just take me home then?" Nicole asked. She reached into her pocket to get her key, but then remembered that they key was now too small to fit into the lock of her house.
"Well, I've got places to be first. You'll come with me instead," Liz said. With that, she tucked the tiny woman into the backpack she was wearing, and zipped her up in complete darkness. Liz went...
