Alan's kid brother, Mike, was a 16-year-old student at an all-male boarding school on the outskirts of town.
Alan, also a graduate of the school, felt it might be even more intense to experiment with the book of spells at his old school. And the guaranteed presence of plenty of good-looking young guys didn't hurt, either.
He made his way into the dormitory building where his brother roomed with another student named Bryan.
Stepping into the room, however, Alan found no one present at the moment. He looked at his watch. "Guess everyone's still in class," he muttered.
Alan sat down on his brother's bed. He opened the book and then leaned back and began to browse through the weathered pages.
He soon found what he believed he needed. "Good," he said aloud. "An alteration spell."
The tricky part would be to specify how small he wanted to become. The spell's language was somewhat obscure, but Alan believed he could manage it.
He began to recite the opening lines of the spell. His body tingled from the anticipation. When he got to the lines about size, however, he stumbled over the wording.
But, he finished the incantation. And waited.
And waited a while longer.
"Damn! Nothing's happening." Alan guessed he must have botched the recitation. He started to study the spell again, but at that moment his body was seized with violent spasms of pain.
He cried out and started to rise from the bed, but he fainted.
When Alan began to regain consciousness, he found himself naked and engulfed in a huge swath of white fabric.
