Before you even have time to realise what's going on, some primitive instinct shoves you out the way of the descending cylinder of glass. You lose your footing briefly, tripping and barely missing being crushed by a hair's width. Panting with slightly hoarse sighs, you can only lay stupefied and stare at the titanic female towering over your shrunken form: it's Bekah, your older cousin. She wipes a drop of cola from the end of her nose with her sleeve and opens a cupboard above your head, apparently searching for something.
