The shrinking elixir slips out of my hand and hits my knee, causing the lid to burst off. I am sprayed with the bluish liquid. It gets all over my skin and clothes before the bottle rolls under Kasey’s bed. I curse as a tingly sensation comes over my body. Before I can get the antidote open, I begin to shrink. The bottle slips out of hand and joins its mate under the bed.
A dizzying sensation overcomes me as the room appears to grow. After thirty seconds or so, it is all over. It is almost like I have been transported to a whole new world. Everything in Kasey’s room towers over me. The plush grey carpet now comes up to my knees. Based on the size of a forgotten penny on my cousin’s floor, I would guess I am less than an inch tall.
Although I am a little shaken up, I have to admit that it is pretty cool to be shrunk. I decide to explore my new surroundings. Kasey is a bit on the messy side.

Unfortunately, Kasey didn’t know that I was coming since I didn’t text her. As such, she will not be too concerned if I do not show up. I will have to get her attention somehow. All of a sudden, I remember that I had my phone in my pocket when I shrunk. In theory, it should be there since the rest of my clothes had shrunk when I spilled the elixir.
To my relief, I feel my phone as I reach into my pocket. Unfortunately, I discover that it is completely dead. Kasey heads out of the room, and I decide to...
