This choice: The shrink ray goes off on accident, hitting Ken • Go Back...Chapter #4Self-Inflicted Shrinking by: Steamgear   Ken reached into his backpack, having made his decision, and his hand quickly came to rest on the metallic shrink ray, it's strange contours reminiscent of an old sci-fi movie prop. The walk over to Sophie's house had shaken up the contents of the backpack, forcing Ken to grab it by the barrel. As Ken tugged on the gun, his stomach dropped as a flood of green light burst forth from his backpack. As the nausea he had been informed came with shrinking set in, Ken knee the shrink day had gotten caught on something and he was steadily decreasing in height. His backpack lifted into the sky above while the carpet fibers became a dense waist-high meadow.
Less than a second after the emerald light bathing the room dissapated and Ken was left lying on the floor at an inch tall, the ground began to tremble. Looking up, Ken saw as the monolithic form of his friend Sophie, came strolling into the room. She was gleefully unaware of the havoc she was wrecking on the world beneath her. With each step Ken watched in horror as her soles flattened the carpet, much as she might quickly flatten him unknowingly.
"Ken! Where'd you go?" Sophie called out, her booming voice hurting Ken's ears as her feet came to a rest several feet away from him.
"D-down here! Sophie look down!!" Ken shouted up, finally pushing aside his fear as be frantically waving his arms, hoping to get the giantess's attention.
"Must've gone home," Sophie concluded as she looked from one end of the room to another.
Ken's spirits lifted as Sophie's eyes looked down towards him. Unfortunately, Ken quickly discovered that she hadn't noticed the boy barely the size of her toenail, something Ken learned as she reached down and took hold of Ken's backpack. Ken watched as his only means of returning to normal size was lifted away.
"He left his backpack," Sophie said to herself, "I guess he'll be back later for hit."
With that Sophie walked across the room, now convinced Ken had left. She carried with her
Ken's backpack and dropped it distantly in the corner, leaving its owner stranded in the middle of the vast room. The tiny boy watched as the gigantic girl wandered around the room, afraid that moving might put him in her warpath. As she moved, gathering clothes and a towel from her dresser, Ken concluded that she was probably going to take a shower. This was confirmed a few seconds later when she went strolling off to the bathroom, leaving Ken in the emptiness of the oversized room once again.
Ken sat alone, the distant downpour of a shower breaking the silence as he thought. Ken knew two things at the moment. First, even if he could get to his shrink ray at least a couple miles across the room, he would be unable to operate it on his own at that size. The second was that he couldn't trust Maggie to help him back to normal size with her mischevious personality. With that said, Ken decided to begin his trek towards Sophie's personal bathroom where she was currently showering. It may be slightly perverted to many, but Ken knew she liked long showers and with the time that afforded, he would be able to get to a point where he could be seen.
Thus Ken began his journey to the bathroom and.....   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
