Like most kids, Steven was impatient to play with his new toy, pulling Matt from his pocket as soon as he got to the privacy of his room. The kid's eager fingers left purple and blue bruises on areas of Matt's body where he was squeezed too tightly.
"Easy!" Matt yelped when Steven released him on a cluttered desktop. "I'm not indestructible!"
Steven laughed. "What's that mean?"
"Indestructible?" Matt said. "It means you can't treat me like a toy!"
"You're not a toy, silly. You can be my new pet."
For Matt, that didn't sound much better.
"Look, I need your help, kid," he shouted. "Could you carry me back to my house? I need my antidote..."
"No," Steven shook his head. "You've got to stay with me. I'm bigger, so you have to do what I say."
Matt was prepared to argue, but the door burst open and an even bigger giant entered the room.
"Mom said get ready for dinner, squirt," the huge giant said in a loud voice.
Matt wanted to groan. He knew the giant, and that wasn't something that he was glad to discover. Tyler was an arrogant jock at the high school, always teasing Matt and his more studious friends.
"What's that you've got?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing," Steven said, grabbing Matt and hiding him behind his back.
"Steven, show me," Tyler commanded.
Steven removed his hand from behind his back, and raised his fist, showing the shrunken teenager to his older brother.
Tyler burst out laughing. "Hey, I know that little wimp!"
"He's mine!" Steven said, squeezing possessively and causing Matt to gasp.
