Finally Bryony Evans awoke from her long sleep. It seemed that the longer she spent her days lounging around the house, the longer she would sleep. She had a strange dream where she was growing younger and younger by the minute. She slowly opened her eyes and removed the blanket from her face. As she ascended to a seated position however, she noticed something odd.
As she stretched and let out a yawn, she noticed that her feet, that would once be almost the same length as her bed, were now buried under the blanket. She also noticed a lack of weight on her chest. She planted her hands on her chest, only to realize that her breasts had disappeared!
She looked down in fright to see that her entire body had shrunk into her pajamas. Panicking, she swiftly rushed out of bed, only to fall on her face, realizing that the bed was much higher from the ground. She stumbled back to her feet and rushed into the bathroom. She looked into the mirror on the wall, only to realize that it was too high for her to look at her reflection. So quickly she dragged the desk chair from her bedroom, struggling to pull the chair because of its size. With the chair in position, she quickly climbed up and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
As she stared at herself in the mirror in amazement, she realized that the dream that she had was no dream. Somehow, she had grown younger. A lot younger as a matter of fact.
At first she couldn't believe it. But by judging on the reflection of herself in the mirror, she assumed that somehow, some way, she was ten years old again!
Astonished by this transformation, Bryony crawled off the desk chair and rushed down the stairs, noticing how much larger each step was to her now. She reached the bottom of the staircase and entered the living room, where she saw her parents. They were much taller than she last remembered. They looked at her with a confused look upon their faces. But before Bryony could explain herself, they start speaking to her.
"Young lady," the mother strictly said to her, "What do you think you're doing?"
This made Bryony confused herself. But as her parents spoke to her more and more, then she suddenly realized that her parents think that she had always been this way! They thought that Bryony was, and always had been, a little girl!
"Come on Bryony," her dad told her, "You've got to get ready."
She gulped and asked her tall parents the obvious question, horrified by the sound of her youthful voice. "Ready for what?"
