Chapter #5

For Safe Keeping

    by: Small1 Author IconMail Icon
"You stupid, ignorant moron!" Eric screamed furiously at his younger sibling, who now looked more deity than human to the speck-sized scientist.

In trying to restore his shrunken brother, Zac had only succeeded in accelerating the intensity of the reduction, leaving Eric stranded at a mere eighth of an inch tall.

"Idiot!" Eric screamed as he watched Zac take a plastic container off a counter and dump the contents, a collection of paper clips, to make room for his teeny sibling.

As he saw Zac's hand, now holding the container, stretch toward him, Eric began to take a few steps back.

"Zac!" Eric screamed. "You have to be careful..."

Zac, despite having trouble hearing Eric's tiny voice, knew better than to just grab his fragile-looking brother.

So, he placed the container on its side and told Eric to enter.

Tiny Eric folded his arms across his chest and shook his head.

Zac frowned. Not taking no for an answer, he nudged his tiny brother with the tip of his index finger. Ahead of the monstrous digit, Eric scrambled to enter the plastic chamber.

Then, holding the tiny container between two fingers, Zac lifted it toward his face.

Eric began to squirm beneath the intense gaze of Zac's orb-sized eyes.

"I'm doomed," the concluded at the prospect of Zac being able to manage the restoration process of his shrink ray.
