Night after night for the past two years, his routine varied hardly at all.
His work as a security guard provided him with a steady source of income, but he often felt extremely bored. Nothing ever happened.
Until tonight.
Twenty-six year old James Patterson stared down at the miniature man on the strange metal platform located in one of the science building's laboratories.
"Are you real?" James asked.
Eric, staring at the immense security guard, found himself stunned into virtual silence.
"Let's see you up close," James said, bending his enormous frame as he extended his hand toward the platform.
Three-inch-tall Eric panicked at the sight of the oncoming giant fingers and tried to run.
The giant snatched the hem of Eric's white lab coat. Having effectively constrained the tiny man, the giant used his other hand to grab him.
Eric felt a disconnected wave of shock as he felt the giant's grasp enclose his puny body. When he finally found his voice, he began screaming for the giant to release him.
Fascinated, James raised his hand in front of his face, unfurled his fingers and stared at the tiny man in his palm.
