She said her work was out of town, so she would be moving out for a while. She was already packing her things and getting ready. I watched her as she left in her car, she said she would be helping pay for my house as well, her job was a good paying job, which was good for both of us. As she drove off into the distance, I headed back inside, sitting on my couch, wanting to do something.
I didn't know what to do at the moment. The whole shrinking and growing thing was on my mind, was it only her that would shrink me and grow herself? Or could this happen with other people as well? I got up, trying to think of something to do. I decided I would just get out of the house, walk around a bit.
I decided just to walk around my neighborhood. Nothing to event full was happening, some people where outside on their lawn, while other were inside or away. As I was walking, I wasn't paying attention and ran into someone.
"Sorry shorty." I headed a female voice from above, looking up, I saw it was a very tall girl. Naturally tall, at 6'6" maybe, looming over my now 5'11" body. "I didn't see you there, be careful not to get crushed." She said as she walked off. Suddenly, the ringing in my ears was back. I tightly shut my eyes, waiting for the ringing to die off. After it had subsided, I open my eyes, seeing that the ground was closer now.
After seeing this, my eyes widened as I quickly headed home. As I entered my house, I got a pencil and measuring tape and went to the bedroom. Standing back to the wall, I made a mark where my current height was, then using the tape, I measured it. To my horror, I found my new height.
"5'7".." Was all I could say, I had lost 4 inches just from that comment,mad I could guess she grew four inches, now around 6'10". Why was I caring for her height? It's not like I would see her again... As I left the room, I realized that some things would soon be out of my reach. So I got my wallet and headed to the store to buy a stepstool.
I got to the store and got my stool, a three step, as I know I would soon need it. As I got to the register, the lady saw it and asked.
"I little on the short side, huh?"
"Yeah... I guess." I said not wanting to be rude. And just as predicted, the ringing was back, after closing and reopening my eyes, I had shrunk again. I quickly got my stool and headed back home, where I promptly measured my self again.
"5'5" Was what my new height was.
