Chapter #6Go to pottery class by: llake   The next class is Pottery class. Normally, given the possibilities presented by the remote, you'd skip this class and head elsewhere, but pottery class has a few things going for it. First of all, your friend Jake is in this class. Second, there's no need to do anything else. The pot you were making was knocked of a shelf three weeks ago and the Professor assured you that you were all set for the semester. So, you decide to spend the time hanging out and testing the remote on Jake and your fellow students.
With the shrunken car secure in your pocket, you start heading toward class. In the parking lot, you pass by the spot where you shrank and crushed that truck earlier in the day.

You take a moment to marvel that everything you're wearing, from your jeans, t-shirt, and underwear, to your backpack, watch, and everything in between are just over fifteen percent smaller than they were this morning. Everything the same, but in slight miniature. This remote really is something else. Your reflective reverie is shattered when you realize that Jake is on his way over.
