The teacher is still busy with the lesson with the rest of the class watching him. Stephan can hardly keep from laughing at the thought that none of them realises that the subject of the lesson - one of the world's largest and most important cities - is actually just a few feet away from them, reduced to the size of a toy. The teacher has a larger audience than he could possibly imagine!
"Don't worry, I've got you all to myself," the boy sneered down at the terrified inhabitants. "I could crush you..." - he starts to close his hand around the micro-city, causing huge chunks of land and entire neighbourhoods around the edges to break apart and crumble, falling down into the deep canyons that are the lines running across his palm - "...or I can keep you as slaves. Or maybe snacks." The boy licked his lips dramatically.
But instead the boy-god contented himself with merely picking up a pencil and using it to start poking at the tiny city. Everything he touched with the pencil tip was obliterated: houses, office blocks, roads and bridges.
"Man, you microbes sure don't know how to build properly. Look how fragile all your stuff is"
Stephan held the teeny tiny city up to his lips and blew gently on it. A stream of barely visible particles of dust drifted over the edge of his hand to fall down onto the desk or onto his crotch. They were crowds of microscopic people, thousands of them, along with their vehicles and homes.
"Heh, I guess you can't handle high winds either. Hope you know how to deal with floods"
The boy started gathering a ball of saliva ready to drop down onto the miniaturized city, but before he could do so -
"STEPHAN!"
It was the teacher. He'd finally noticed that Stephan had other things on his mind. The other kids all turned round in their chairs to look at him.
The teacher smirked arrogantly at him, always ready to humiliate any student who tried to fool around in class, and spoke to him with exaggerated politeness.
"Well, Stephan, perhaps you'd like to share with the rest of the class exactly what you think is more deserving of your attention than today's lesson?"
On previous occasions Stephan might have given a surly and reluctant response, but not today! Today he could do anything!
