DETOUR

    by: Speck Author IconMail Icon
“It’s time to end this fucked up escapade right now,” Bryan thought as he cringed at the embarrassment he would endure when he returned to normal size in a nude state. But he just survived a near calamitous fall—so he felt it wise to take the antidote before anything else dangerous happened.

He reached in his pocked for the vial of antidote that would return him to normal size. “Oh Fuck!”

The vial was gone. He had left it in the box or it had fallen out of his pocket when he fell. Bryan didn’t know which—what he did know was that he was now trapped at this size, in a world of giants. The minuscule scientist watched in horror as Tommy zipped up his book-bag, leaving him in near darkness.

“I’m supposed to have an envelope with money in it too, Mister,” Tommy informed the research assistant. Greg looked around the office with a stupefied look on his face. Tommy happened to glance down at the floor and saw an envelope with his name printed on it in large letters. “Never mind Mister, I’ve got it.”

Tommy stashed the envelope and the tiny box in one of the pockets of his baggy pants, and quickly exited the office and the building. Before heading to the post office on his bike, he tore open the envelope and smiled when he took out the hundred dollar bill. He stuffed the envelope and the hundred back into his pocket—and was off to the post office.

Bryan became nauseous as he was tossed within the darkened confines of Tommy’s book-bag. It was a rough ride, and it was only going to get worse when Tommy began his trek to the post office on his bicycle.

Bryan fell deeper into the bag as time passed. The intense jarring motions made it impossible to hold on in any one place for very long. Finally he found himself lodged between what felt like two soft folds of cloth. It was slightly damp and reeked with body odor but Bryan was just glad to be in a stationery position for the moment. He tried to avoid it, but found himself drifting off to sleep.

Tommy quickly arrived at the post office and diligently performed his task of mailing the small box. He proudly filled his wallet with the change from the hundred and headed for home, filled with thoughts of the new skateboard he was now able to buy.

You have the following choices:

1. Tommy arrives at home.

2. Tommy stops at Joe's house.
