Although normally Eric would not refuse anything to Tom, he felt more than somewhat cautious after his earlier mishap with the shrink ray.
“I think it would be better if I run some diagnostics before conducting another test,” Eric answered.
“Oh, Eric! Please!” Tom begged.
“No. As soon as I determine it is safe, you’ll get little!” Eric promised. “Now, let’s go home.”
Eric hugged his 25-year-old boyfriend, confident he had persuaded Tom to forget about shrinking for the moment.
A few days later….
••••••
Tom walked into his boyfriend’s laboratory. He had deliberately chosen a time when he knew Eric would be busy with classes.
Unexpected, however, was the presence of Eric’s assistant, Don.
“Hi, Tom," Don said. "If you’re looking for Eric I think he has a class.”
“Thanks,” Tom said. “Maybe I will hang out.”
Don smiled at him and went back to looking over some paperwork.
Tom stared across the lab at the shrink ray. He flashed back to finding his shrunken lover and then what it had felt like to watch as the device, like magic, grew Eric back to his normal size.
“I’ve got to get to a meeting myself,” Don announced. “Sorry to run off.”
“No problem,” Tom said.
Left alone in the lab, Tom moved immediately to the console panel. He practically drooled over the controls.
Unfortunately, they looked a little more complex than he had anticipated.
He studied the console until he felt he began to get a feel for how the device could be programmed.
Excited, he walked toward the steady beam of energy.
He stepped onto the platform and let his entire body be engulfed by the beam.
