Sam stumbled about the room. Man, am I wiped out! he thought to himself. I wonder if I’m coming down with something. He began to yawn heavily. So tired…
Feeling a wave of sleep come over him, he decided it best linger back to his bed. He wondered if he should say something to the guys, then shook his head. They’d figure it out. He lay back. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he was fast asleep.

Meanwhile... the other guys were chatting in the kitchen.
“How is he?” asked Greg.
“Doesn’t suspect a thing,” said Zeke. He took a gulp of his protein drink, then laughed. “Though, for a moment, I thought I was gonna get caught.”
“Really? What happened?” Greg asked.
“Well, I couldn’t help myself. Needed to see for myself if it would work. I was busy measuring him, when he suddenly woke up.”
“Dude, really? What if he saw you with the measuring tape?”
“Don’t worry, he was so groggy, he could barely see me…”
Brian joined the guys at the table. “Yeah, that stuff’s gonna knock him out for good tonight,” he said to the other two. “Though, Greg’s got a point. You shouldn’t have taken that risk, Zeke. I coulda told you that stuff I got don’t work when he’s asleep.”
Zeke shook his head. Greg looked at Brian, “So, you’re sure the stuff works?”
“Positively, my cousin wouldn’t lie,” Brian responded. “And, to my knowledge, none of her spells or potions have failed to date.”
“So, how does this one work?” Zeke asked.
“Simple, really. Starting tomorrow morning, every time Sam hears the word shrink, he’ll get a little smaller.”
“That’s crazy!” Greg exclaimed, then started laughing.
“Tell me about it. I thought it was hilarious when my cousin told me about it. It’ll be fun seeing the big guy brought down a peg or two… or much more.”
“And you’re sure it’s not permanent?” Zeke asked, a little worried about his workout buddy.
“Dude, it’s fine. The potion eventually wears off after a day or two,” Brian assured him.
“You said something about a side effect?” Zeke asked.
“Well, more of an interesting twist, really…”
