Shrunken Smaller

    by: Small1 Author IconMail Icon
The room expanded. It seemed like the
expansion would go on forever.

Then, the light faded, and Eric found himself
standing on a vast surface of gleaming metal.

"OH, FUCK! ERIC! WHERE DID YOU GO?"

The words roared, distorted and distant, far
overhead. Eric raised his head.

His brother looked as big as a mountain.

Zac took a step toward the platform.

For Eric, the entire universe trembled.
Vibrations rocked the platform. He fought to
stay on his feet.

Zac stopped at the platform. He began to
lower his body for a closer look.

Tiny Eric saw only a mountain falling toward
him.

Zac saw an incredibly tiny little form lost on the
surface of the platform.

"ERIC?"

"Yes, yes! Zac, help me!" Eric waved his
hands over his head.

Zac leaned over the platform. "ERIC, I CAN'T
HEAR YOU!"

The words dropped like concussion blasts.
Eric covered his ears with his hands.

Zac stretched out a hand. But he hesitated.
Eric looked too tiny to safely pinch between his
fingers.

He licked the tip of his finger and stuck the
colossal digit toward Eric.

"No!" Eric screamed as the immense fingertip
rushed at him. He felt like he had been hit by a
slow-moving truck. And then, he felt himself
lifted, adhered to the fingertip by a layer of
Zac's saliva.

Zac brought his fingertip to a stop directly in
front of his eyes. Eric looked and screamed.

Zac's nostrils looked like caves. His eyes
were the size of pools. A simple exhalation of
breath threatened to sweep Eric off the
fingertip.

"I BETTER FIND A SAFE PLACE TO KEEP
YOU!"

You have the following choices:

1. Zac grabs a pexiglass petri dish

2. Zac empties a container for paper clips

*Noteb*
3. In an empty M&M tube

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
