Eric invents the world's first shrink ray; a test goes awry.

This choice: Three inches tall  •  Go Back...
Chapter #5

Little Ben

    by: Small1 Author IconMail Icon
Ben looked up, dazed, at his colleague, who
was now four times larger than the tiny
three-inch-tall man.

"Brevard!" Ben shouted. "How the hell did you
get so big?"

At that moment, Don came into view, towering
over both shrunken men. Ben shamed
himself with a reactionary scream.

Don only laughed at the little man's dismay.

In that clarifying moment, Ben realized the
truth. Eric hadn't grown— he had shrunk.

But Eric was still much bigger than Ben.
"What's going on here?" Ben demanded. "I
insist you restore me to my proper size."

"You broke the damn machine!" Eric shouted
angrily.

Suddenly, Don snatched up the little man in
one of his huge hands. "Look, you arrogant
little prick, if you hadn't barged in here, none of
this would have happened."

"Brevard! Make him let me go," Ben screamed
in outrage.

Eric stared up at his colleague's frantic
squirming in Don's huge hand. "Yeah. Right."
Eric said sarcastically.

Don smiled down at Eric. "Why don't I put this
little pest somewhere safe?" Don asked. "And
then you can both go home with me until we
can repair the damage to the machine."

Eric stared at the wrecked device. "That could
take quite a lot of time."

Don stared at the teeny man in his hand and
at his action figure-sized boss. "Oh, I don't
mind," Don said in an eager voice.
