“Hey Lady!” Ryan protests and slaps her hand away.
The crone cackles again, pressed herself into Ryan and winks at the boy “Just checking out potential merchandize.” She says, looking up and down the boy “I could sell you for a pretty penny.”
“I think not!” declares Ryan Sr. “Now, Son, do you want that one?”
The redhaired boy shakes his head “Nah….Toby can have him. I’ll get another.” And quickly dashes away from the creepy hag.
“And what about you? Lad?” she looks the black boy over, greedily “Here by yourself? You’d make a fine item.”
I was helpless as Toby’s fingers nervously crinkled the plastic of my prison. Could tell, just from what I could see he was stepping back. Then, my view was blocked by Ryan Sr’s back, he said “Toby IS NOT for sale. Happy with your choice? Go get in the car. I’ll be paying for both.”
“Almost a pity.” I could hear the old woman wheeze. I couldn’t see anything due to Toby’s fingers blocking my vision.
When I could see again the young black boy had tossed my prison, nothing but a light bit of plastic really, into the back seat of a 1967 Impala. I would have been amazed if I wasn’t busy with my situation, it looked brand new. And as I got my bearings, a huge young black face smiled down at me, said “I know you’re a shrunk man. When they boxed you, it froze you. You’ll be able to move when I open the package.”
He knew! I panicked. Of course he did, who was I kidding? He picked me up, again crinkling the plastic I was in. Poked at my belly and head. I couldn’t feel anything. Maybe it had something to do with my frozen state? He tossed and spun me around. Shouldn’t I feel nausea? Why wasn’t i?
“You’re my property now.” Said Toby with a big white-toothed and self-satisfied smile.
