As you get to your feet - rather shakily after your recent experience - you hear laughter. Standing at the yard entrance is Mike, the annoying kid from next door. He must have heard the commotion and come to investigate, and is now cracking up, pointing and jeering at you and the still-woozy Jake and Eric, who remain sprawled on the ground.
About a year younger than you are, Mike and you have hated each other for years. The only reason you've not bullied him into submission long ago is that your parents and his are such good friends. If you took any overt action against Mike you'd never hear the end of it - and he knows it.
As he continues to make fun of you a surge of anger and frustration builds up inside and you *glare* at him. You feel another pulse of energy running through your body - similar to the one you felt before - and then, to your intense shock, the brat suddenly seems to vanish! You walk over to the spot where he was standing and see a tiny figure, no bigger than an ant, hopping around. You reach down and pinch the little thing between your thumb and forefinger and lift it up. It seems impossible to believe, but it's actually Mike, kicking and screaming in fear!
Wow! Did you actually do this? There doesn't seem to be any other explanation for what just happened. You decide to investigate further so you carelessly shove Mike into the pocket of your shorts for the time being and see if you can recreate the effect. There's a plastic chair nearby so you concentrate on it and try to make it shrink. After a few false starts you somehow hit on the right state of mind and the chair is reduced to a tiny model on the ground. Neat!
Next you turn your attention to a nearby tree: a slightly tougher proposition as its roots are deeply embedded in the soil. This time it only takes two attempts: you're learning fast. A moment later the entire tree has been reduced to the size of a piece of broccoli, lying in the middle of a churned up piece of ground where the roots were. Excellent! If you can isolate and shrink a tree like that you might even be able to reduce houses or other buildings to mere toys! Perhaps even larger objects might be possible... You snap the once-mighty trunk like a matchstick and toss it carelessly away.
Turning back to the bags of trash you dropped earlier, you test your power once more. You pick one and shrink it, and then manage to grow it back to its original size. Evidently you can change the size of any object you want to any size you please! You shrink the rest of the trash to 1cm in size and hold it all in your palm - it's pretty easy to deal with now. Then you focus on them again and reduce the formerly heavy bags to barely-visible specks, which you casually blow on, sending them drifting away to vanish on the breeze...
You return to your friends and explain what you can do, taking Mike out of your pocket to show them as proof. They are delighted with your tiny captive and soon discover they have exactly the same abilities as you! Basically everything and everyone in the world is now potentially at your mercy, and it's a pretty nice feeling. The three of you decide to make the most of your powers and explore what limits (if any) they have.
