This choice: Somewhere strange and dark • Go Back...Chapter #2Somewhere strange and dark by: Unknown Bobby was so used to routine. Same old, same old. Day in, day out. . .
Whether it was people at school, around town, or even in his own home, Bobby had grown accustomed to special treatment. Why wouldn't he? At 3'5, he was constantly being fondled, cuddled, or worse. His own mother even treated him like a baby! It was enough for a 14 year old to get really upset about. What made things really tough was that at his small size, not a lot of other kids wanted to spend time with him. Kids his age anyway. . . he had plenty of really little kids who wanted to do stuff. Also problematic, after hitting puberty. . .he really wanted to be with a woman. He had tried to ask this cute tall girl, Tiffany out. . . but she just laughed at him. She said the only way she'd spend time with him is if he was even smaller than that!! Like a shrunken pet, or something!! It was humiliating.
That is just how Bobby's days went. School, walking home, babied at home. . . etc. Still, even though he would never admit it. . . there were some things he did like.
Every night, it was the same. A daily ritual, so to speak. His mother would come and sit by him, tuck him in, and give him a kiss goodnight. It was a ritual that they followed, and even though Bobby was a bit old for that, he secretly kind of liked it.
Yes, to her face, he would deny this, but there was something tender about that. He always had felt small, though he did want to become more independent. But part of him enjoyed that feeling of closeness with his mom. Also, like every other night, his mother gave him some tea, which he drank besides his bed. He usually had to get up to drink it, due to his small stature. Bobby would sit by his bed, drink the tea, and talk to his mother about the day.
That night was different. He was so tired, his whole body dragged and felt sluggish. As he pulled himself into bed, he didn't wait for his mother as usual. He didn't get tucked in, and didn't have his tea. His head was spinning so hard. . .

When Bobby woke up, he was somewhere dark, somewhere. . .misty. He couldn't see anything, he was naked, and his bed was gone too.
"H-h-hello? I-i-is anyone t-t-there?"
He had complained about it endlessly, but right now, he wanted to be cuddled!! He wished his mother would come and get him out of this. But, she was nowhere to be found. Bobby was afraid to even move from here. Yet, if he didn't. . . who knew what would happen.
RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!!
Without warning, the entire room began to convulse!! It was like an earthquake!! Bobby screamed and tried to reach onto the ground in hopes of finding something to latch onto. He found something. . .hard and concrete. It was big too, like a spherical cylinder or something. He held on tight until the rumbling stopped.
What was this? What was it doing here? Bobby moved his hands up and down the hard device in an attempt to discover its purpose.
Suddenly, he heard a sound. . a very loud sound. It was like there was a booming megaphone in the room he was in.
COUGH!! COUGH!!
Fear and anxiety pumped into Bobby's mind. That. . .that sounded like a . . .a cough. What was that? What was going on? Bobby just wanted to go home!!
"W-w-who is there!! P-p-please, l-let me go!!"
Bobby received no response, just the echo from his own voice. He pulled himself closer to the hard object, it was basically his only protector at this point.
Rationalizing it, the sound. . it could have been anything. Some. . .construction outside. Yeah! But. . . the sound was being echoed in here too. How was that. . .
CRACK!! RIIPPPPP!!!
The ceiling!! It was being ripped apart!! Bobby looked upwards, holding his hand in front of his face, worried something might fall on him. Light peered into the room, and Bobby was able to see that he had been inside a box!! Pieces of the box fell besides him and he moved them a little just to make sure. It was just as he had feared. . .
He had shrunken!!
Again!!
He was even smaller than before!! Looking up, Bobby saw the person who had captured him!!  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
