The girl's hand slowly encompasses more and more of his minuscule frame, as he dwindles before her eyes. Alex looks around, as the store looks larger with each passing second. Within a few moments, the process is over.
"Wow, you're REALLY tiny now," the girl says, her voice seeming to echo far above him. Alex looks up to see the girl's very large face peering down at him, a small smile on her face. He looks around him, noticing that one of the girl's fingers was about the same size he was. He couldn't have been more than two inches tall!
The girl looks at the stone in her other hand, the lights above shining off of its smooth surface. "This thing is SO cool," she says outloud, before putting it in one of her side pockets. "I wonder if it works on just you or other guys, too?"
Alex shrugs his shoulders, hoping it could shrink him only. Just then, the girl's mother comes around the corner. The 8 year old stuffs Alex into her other side pocket. (Thankfully, not the one containing the stone.)
"Judy? Are you ready? We have to go."
"Coming, mother," Judy replied, before grabbing a few other candy bars and catching up with her mom at the checkout.
From inside the girl's pocket, Alex could hear the two getting into the car, the car taking off and driving down the road. A half hour later or so, he could hear the muffled voice of the mother say, "Okay, Judy. We're here."
