A short story i typed up one day after tossing the idea to a friend. |
A low rumble echoed across the sky before a loud ear ringing boom sounded off. It was pouring outside at Mount Ida and anyone outside was unlucky enough to get drenched by the seemingly endless rain. Jabari was that unfortunate poor soul to get caught in the unforgiving rain today. He ran across campus making his way across the field heading the backside of the Wingate thankfully someone happened to be leaving and opened the door for him. Grabbing the door as it swung open, he immediately was smacked in the face by a strange powder. He coughed a little wiping his eyes and heard the faint sound of someone quickly running back upstairs. Angered, he started to chase after them managing to get the powder out of his face but stumbled going up the stairs. His vision had gone fuzzy and he couldn't maintain his balance. He took a few more steps making it up the 2nd flight of stairs before falling over. Things started to expand around him and the last thing he saw was a pair of large pink toes in front him before he blacked out. Nothing but silence went through his mind when something strange rubbed against his nose causing him to toss and turn in his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes seeing a strange tan colored material in his face. Confused, he sat up picking up the piece staring at it for a moment before remembering what happened before. He jumped up on his feet looking around. It looked like an ordinary cage for pets but massive. There was even a hamster wheel in the corner just for him! “This is getting really creepy… who would take the time to make something so big” he said to himself. He looked around the cage seeing the handle on the outside running over and struggling to open it. Once opened he climbed out landing on the smooth surface on the other side and his eyes instantly widened. “What the hell…is this…” he looked around in shock noticing everything was massive compared to him. The beds, the TV, the door, the desk, and the chairs. Even the pencil nearby looked almost as big as him. Everything had not gotten bigger he had gotten smaller but how and by who? He simply shrugged off these thoughts and focused on getting down, turning his attention toward the chair nearby. Taking a deep breath he leaped to the chair rolling across it a little only for it to lean back sending him sliding off the other end smacking against the floor. The wind had been knocked out of him and rested on the floor trying to regain it and sat up rubbing his head when he heard a voice from behind him. “OH MY GOSH IT WORKED!” a voice called out from behind him. He turned around only to see a giant Alex behind him. “A-Alex…you did this” he said freighted starting to back away. Before she could take another step toward him he took off running in the opposite direction. He only took a few steps before hearing a few words he couldn’t understand, from her then suddenly he couldn’t move. Alex walked to him slowly and confidently laughing a little. “Allow me to explain. This may sound a little silly but I’m a wizard. I know magic spells, potions and ya know the usual”. She stood in front of him kneeling down sticking her tongue out teasingly. She scooped him carefully bringing him to eye level mumbling another phrase he couldn’t understand then suddenly he could move again. Freaking out he shuffled around on her palm about to jump off but noticed how high he actually was and retreated back to the center of her palm. He gulped shivering out of fear. “I take it someone doesn't like heights” she said with smirk beginning to tilt her hand back starting to let him slide back off her palm. He scrambled to grab a hold of something but felt himself falling back and started to panic when suddenly he felt himself being tossed into the air. He screamed in fear watching the ground come closer when he hit something midair. It was an orange colored hamster ball she used to catch him and trap him inside off. She brought him |
