"Now hold on, remember what I said. My help comes with a cost." Her smile gets bigger and creepier. Clearly, it won't be something easy or fun. "Now that I have helped you, it's time for you to realise something Timothy."
"What?" you ask, simultaneously curious and a little nervous at the same time. What on Earth does your mom have planned for you?
"Now don't take this the wrong way, sweetie, but I just don't feel the same way about you as I do about your sisters. This is probably going to sound a little weird but I guess it's time I was honest with you. You see, all the women in this family are witches."
"Witches?" you say, incredulous at your mom's revelation.
"That's right, sweetie. As soon as we come of age, we develop the power to shrink men. I guess Erica must have found the temptation just too much to resist!"
"But why, Mom? Why did she shrink me?"
"It's very new to Erica, sweetie. She's still learning how to control the power but I think she wanted to sell you. She should have known better. I'm sorry that nearly happened to you, but at least you are back where you belong now, with your mom!"
"Can you turn me back to normal?" you ask.
"I'm afraid not, Timothy. Once you've been shrunk, there's no way back. But I don't suppose it makes that much difference. You were always going to be be shrunk eventually. I was planning to shrink you on your 18th birthday anyway!"
"But why?" You can barely believe everything you are hearing. "Were you planning to sell me as well?"
"Oh no, my sweet. I wouldn't dream of letting anyone else get their hands on you. You're all mine!" She smiled again, and something about the look in her eyes chilled you to the bone. "Ever wondered what witches eat, Timothy dear?"
"You... you don't mean... you can't..." you babble, struggling to get your head around what your mother seems to be suggesting.
"That's right, sweet Timothy. I'm going to gobble you right up!" she licks her lips slowly and you see the hunger in her eyes.
