After considering various options, Olan thought of another entertaining punishment for Nick. "Okay, Nicky. First, I want you to get off my foot. Here, I'll make it easier," Olan said as he grew Nick to about 2 inches tall. The shrunken teenager immediately followed Olan's orders and jumped off of his foot. "Great! Now, just stand still for me," Olan told him as he started concentrating on his target. It didn't take long for Nick to realize what was happening. Everything was getting more and more immense, which means he was shrinking again.
"Oh no....Olan, please! Not again! I'll do anything you want, just change me back!" Nick pleaded, but Olan only registered his cries as a bunch of unintelligible squeaks. He just giggled, "I can't understand what you're saying, and I really don't care." Then, the shrinking process sped up rapidly. Nick shrank back to 1/8 of an inch, then back to the nearly invisible size he was before that. Then he kept shrinking further and further and further. By the time it stopped, Nick found himself in what looked more like a surreal alien realm than anything on Earth. Nick looked around in all directions in terror, being unable to recognize anything. He then looked down to see that he was standing on the edge of a wide, jagged canyon. This was actually just a barely visible crack in the floor, but it was terrifyingly ominous to Nick. If he wasn't careful, it would swallow him and keep him trapped for who knows how long. Then, he looked in front of him to see a massive wall dominating the horizon. It looked like it was something biological. Something alive. The heat it exuded was overpowering, even from a distance, as Nick found himself sweating and feeling weak already. Then, it shifted before making contact with the ground again, causing the world to shake with a force unparalleled by any earthquake, as well as generating hurricane force winds that lifted Nick up and tossed him around. He careened through the air helplessly, his cries being completely unheard, before landing on the ground again.
He looked back up at the monumental structure. As he started to put everything together, he realized it must have been Olan's foot. In fact, it was merely a small fraction of his toe, which was easily big enough to squish entire continents. The realization caused Nick to panic even more as he stumbled backwards. He'd never felt this helpless in his life.
Far above, Olan smirked to himself after shrinking Nick to an extremely microscopic size. He was satisfied that he shrunk Nick small enough to survive being stepped on, so he was pretty sure his punishment would work. So, he lifted his foot slightly off of the ground and twisted it so that it was hovering over Nick.
Nick looked up in terror as the planet-sized appendage lifted into the air and hovered over him. The unending sky of flesh was all Nick could see when he looked up. It stayed there for a minute, taunting him, before it came down. Olan didn't even put his foot down that hard, but to Nick, it was a cataclysmic event that resulted in him being painfully pressed into the boy's excruciatingly hot skin. When Olan moved his foot, Nick remained stuck to it, unable to escape.
Olan laughed, "Perfect. Now, I'm gonna take a break for a little. I'll check on you later." Olan then decided to lie down in his bed and look at stuff on his phone.
Meanwhile, Nick was suffering as he tried to survive in a new, inhospitable environment. At least the bottoms of Olan's feet weren't touching any surface and pressing him mercilessly into the unforgiving floor, but that didn't make his situation too much better. Now that he was actually on Olan's foot, the temperature was even more unbearable. As he tried to traverse the landscape, he found pieces of dust that were miles tall to him, but invisible to any normal-sized person. There were other small specks of dirt that were even more immense, and they looked like alien structures. The slight amount of perspiration on Olan's foot formed massive oceans, some of which slid down the never-ending wasteland and threatened to engulf him. Even many of the literal microbes living in these hostile conditions were bigger than he was. He hoped none of these organisms would be threats to him. Then, there were the earthquakes that occurred whenever Olan's foot moved subconsciously. Whenever his sole wrinkled slightly, it felt like immeasurably massive walls were closing in. Even though his size meant he still had plenty of room, it was utterly terrifying.
Eventually, Nick got weaker and weaker. He was starting to feel dizzy and needed to sit down. He couldn't take being here anymore. He didn't know if he'd ever get out of this situation, and it mortified him. Was this really how it was going to end? Was he really going to die as a microscopic speck on a teenage boy's foot? And not just any random kid, but the one he's been bullying for the entire year. In a way, he felt it was ironic that the person he loved to torment now got to torture him for as long as he wanted. As frightening thoughts filled his head, Nick started to close his eyes.
Meanwhile, Olan was still relaxing on his bed with hardly any worries at all. Assuming Nick wouldn't be able to survive for longer than a few hours, he decided to grow him back after an hour had passed. "Alright, Nicky. I'm going to grow you back now. Then we can do something even more fun," Olan said as he started to grow Nick back. When Nick was a few inches tall, Olan noticed that he wasn't moving. Realizing that he was unconscious, Olan sighed as he moved Nick to a cooler area and attempted to treat him. Nick regained consciousness rather quickly, but was still incredibly exhausted. Olan decided to let him rest for a while, since he wouldn't be as fun to play with if he was too tired to even move.
Nick woke up again a couple of hours later at about 1 foot tall to see Olan smiling down at him. "Finally! I thought you'd never wake up," he said before grabbing him. "Is...is it over? Will you let me go now?" Nick asked weakly. "Nope. We're not done yet," Olan replied as he started coming up with more ideas.
