Allegra had no idea what had happened. She'd been sitting in the break room at the Citizen, eating lunch, when suddenly her powers had flared up. She was unable to stop herself from glowing for a minute, and then all at once she was shrunken, leaving her standing on the break room table at no more than an inch tall. She tried not to panic. Iris was here in her office, if she could just get her giant boss's attention.
She heard clicking heels behind her, and sighed with relief, thinking Iris had come out to get lunch. But when she turned around, she saw the last person she wanted to see: Taylor Downs. An employee who hated Allegra. And one who had promised to destroy her. She walked right up to the table, probably wondering why Allegra's phone was laying unattended. Then her eyes locked on the shrunken woman, growing wide for a second, then narrowing as she realized just what an interesting situation this was.
"Well this is a surprise." Taylor said, lips curling up at the sight of her shrunken boss. "You look different Allegra. Did you get a haircut or something?"
"Taylor this isn't funny!" Allegra said, stomping her foot in frustration. Taylor just giggled at how pathetic little Allegra's "stomp" was. "I need you to bring me to Iris!"
"Still telling me what to do Allegra?" Taylor said.
"I'm your boss Taylor!" Allegra shouted, or rather, squeaked.
"Not anymore Allegra. You have to be a person to work at the Citizen. You're just a doll now, or maybe a bug." Taylor said.
"I'm still a person Taylor. Even if you're mad at me, when I grow back I will still be your boss, and we can work out whatever issues you have with me." Allegra said.
"No Allegra. You never should have been my boss anyway. No college degree, no past journalism experience, no business managing people. I think the best thing for the Citizen would be if you made a career change." Taylor said.
Allegra gulped, seeing the hatred in Taylor's eyes. She'd seen it before, but never this small.
"What do you mean by a career change?" Allegra asked nervously.
"I mean that I have a perfect new job for you. You can be..."
1. "My breath mint." Taylor pops Allegra into her mouth and sucks on her while she types up a new story.
2. "My bra padding." Taylor slips Allegra into her bra cup for the rest of the day.
3. "Iris's new insole." Taylor ties Allegra up and throws her in one of Iris's heels.
4. "Iris's new seat cushion." Taylor tapes Allegra down to Iris's chair, then watches with glee as an unaware Iris sits down on her.
5. "Iris's lunch". She drops Allegra into a salad before delivering it to Iris's office.
