Disillusioned by the perfidiousness of the remote's effects, you do not want to place undue faith in it and risk losing your life again. It is obvious that this remote was a prototype that was to be disposed of. This is why you were able to steal it so easily compared to the other unsecured devices. With the remote in your hand, secure to prevent you from accidentally using it, you opt to go out the open window. You didn't care to explain how you magically appeared in your friend's room without going through any of the house's main entrances. It was quite a drop to the bushes, especially with no vines to climb down although it was unlikely those would hold your weight anyways. As you go through a shortcut between several houses to head towards your own backyard, you remember you are not expected.
Your dad's girlfriend, Rachel, and her kid daughter, Lexi, moved in a few months ago. You got along well enough with Rachel, knowing that your dad was likely going to marry her sooner than later. It's not like you will be at the house very long as you plan on moving out soon. You would also play wrestle with the energetic Lexi every now and then. With your dad on a business trip, you told Rachel you would be gone for a week, knowing that you planned on having fun with the size device. Now you have aborted your mission early and no one knows you are going to be home.
You jump the backyard fence after completing your shortcut and walk through the backdoor. You are in the kitchen and walk to the garbage can which is mostly empty, and throw away the faulty device. You then make your way into your bedroom while running into no one else. While in your room, you realize that you are feeling pretty tired. It makes sense after the harrowing situation of pulling up giant porch steps, climbing up vines like a beanstalk story as your friend's giant mom always squishes you, and then having to walk back home. You lay down on the bed and fall right to sleep.
When you wake up, you position your legs off the ground and drop down but you end up falling a little further than you expected. You shrug it off as you walk towards the bedroom door to head to the bathroom to pee. It's still early evening and you don't want to sleep too long and mess up your sleep cycle. You lumber through your bedroom door, not recognizing the doorknob being higher than usual as you traverse through the wide hallway. As you approach the bathroom, the door opens and out walks a woman that towers over you. This confused you, because you are taller than Rachel and much taller than Lexi. Even if she is a friend of Rachel's she is like over eight feet tall compared to you. That's when you catch a glimpse of the side of the woman's face before she turns her back to you and then you notice her body type despite her height. This wasn't a tall woman, it was Lexi, and you are small! You nearly squeal which would have alerted her to you but instead you are able to keep it together as she walks to her bedroom without noticing your toddler-sized body in the middle of the hallway.
It seems that the shrinking device is faulty as it may grow you back to normal size but it will still slowly shrink you permanently, creating the necessity to continue to grow yourself back after a period of time. You need the remote with you at all times, the only issue is that you put it in the trash. You feel yourself get smaller as the hallway expands in size and you start to see doorknobs become out of reach. Now what do you do?
