Sean's eyes widen when they land upon your tiny form. He drops his hiking boots, and you wince at the booming sound of them hitting the hardwood floor. He walks toward your bed and kneels down, leaning forward to get a good look at you. Even though he's taken a knee, you're still only level with his belly, and you're forced to nearly bend over backwards just to meet your father's gaze. You shrank wearing only the boxers you slept in, and you can't help but feel exposed beneath his stare. There's a playful glint in his eye as he appraises your shrunken body. "Son... how did you get so tiny?" he rumbles.
With some effort, you clear your throat and call up to him, "I got a weird size-changing remote in the mail this morning!" You hold it up for him to see. He reaches down and carefully pinches the minuscule remote between his huge thumb and fingertip -- and suddenly, it starts to grow. You both watch as the remote quickly balloons in your father's hand, expanding until it's normal sized again.
"Interesting," he murmurs, turning the remote over in his hands and examining it curiously. "It must adapt its size to fit whoever is holding it. I wonder where tech like this could've come from?" He looks back down at you and asks, "Was there a return address on the package?"
You shake your head. It is strange that such powerful technology could even exist -- it seemed more befitting a sci-fi movie -- and it's even stranger that it would be delivered to you, of all people, for seemingly no reason. But you have little time to ponder it, because suddenly your father is tucking the remote into his pocket and reaching down to grab you. He wraps his gigantic fingers around your body before you can react and lifts you up to his face as he rises and turns to leave.
"I guess it doesn't matter, really," he says, smiling mischievously. "Our camping trip just got a lot more fun!" He puts on his boots, grabs his pack from the living room, and hits the road with you sitting warm and comfortable in the front pocket of his shirt.
