True to the catalog's guarantee, the doorbell rang less than 30 minutes after you made the call to summon Kevin.
"You must be Steve," said the young guy. "And, I guess you know from the catalog, I'm Kevin, a companion employed with Macrophiles Anonymous."
You can't help but stare at the five-foot long boa constrictor wrapped around Kevin's neck. The serpent's body twists and twines around the youth's shoulders and neck.
Kevin laughed at your fascination with the snake. "I like to bring him along for effect," he said. "But, I'm willing to take you back to my place for a more varied menagerie. I have everything from monitor lizards and gila monsters to cats, dogs and even some big tropical and marine fish."
"Goodness," you tell Kevin. "I didn't know there would be more choices to make."
"It's all about you, Steve, and here's how this is going to go down," Kevin said. "I brought some vials of the miniaturization agent as well as the antidote. When you're ready, you can drink the agent. One dose will shrink you to about half an inch tall. If you want to shrink even smaller, say to about a sixteenth of an inch, you can take another dose."
"That's rather tiny," you say.
Kevin grins in total agreement. "Not afraid of pushing it to the extreme, are you, Steve?"
"No..." you stammer. "But..."
Kevin produces two vials. "Your choice, buddy," the young guy tells you, but in a tone that is quite evidently a dare.
You grab both vials from him.
"Wait just a moment," Kevin cautions. "Do you want to have your fun here or go back to my place for an introduction to Kevin's menagerie?"
