Your immediate response is to look to the girl closest to you for help. When you look to the sunbather, you realize that she's very shut off from the world. Between her headphones, sunglasses, and your small size, you doubted your ability to even get her attention! So you move to the trio to your left. But one glance at how wild the girls with the frisbee are getting scares you off from that path. That leaves just one option, making the journey across the commons to the student studying.
As classes had not yet begun, foot traffic was thankfully light. You felt like you were playing a game of human Frogger at times, but never felt like you were in any real immediate danger. Fortunately for you, the grass was well manicured and short, making your journey less difficult than it could have been otherwise. You kept your eyes focused on your destination, praying that she wouldn't leave her spot while you were halfway, putting you in no man's land.
You felt thankful as you drew close enough to read the cover of her textbook. Molecular Manipulation it read. "Sounds pretty advanced" you thought to yourself, but continued closer. As you drew near her leggings covered lower body, you started to weigh your options on how best to get her attention.
It was then that her large, brown eyes moved from her textbook and focused directly on your 3 inch body. You covered up as best you could out of instinct but the woman just smiled. She offered her hand as a platform and lifted you up. You were a bit surprised by her lack of shock on seeing you, but pushed that thought from your mind quickly. You were just happy she seemed gentle. You needed to focus on getting help.
"Hi there little guy." she spoke in a slightly lusty whisper. "I'm Michelle. What's your name?" she asked.
You introduced yourself and began to tell your story, that you had woken up suddenly small and needed her help. But she interrupted you before you could get too far.
"Oh I know Tony. You were just leaning back against the tree, taking a nap, and you woke up 3 inches tall and nude." she said with a smile.
"Yes! How....how did you know?" you asked, beginning to feel a bit nervous.
Her flat palm turned to a light fist as she responded. "Because I did it." she smiled victoriously.
Your mouth dropped open in shock. That answered one question at least, but caused many more. Your mind was racing too fast to even begin to form words or sentences, but Michelle was more than happy to answer your questions for you anyway.
"I'm a post-graduate student here Tony, taking advanced bio-technical cources. My specialty is in the manipulation of atomic and sub-atomic particles. I'll spare you the boring details, but suffice it to say that I created the first ever shrink ray and chose you to be my first human test subject. Congratulations! I'm so happy you chose to come to me for help. You made the right choice." She said, her smile growing broader as she spoke.
"Shrink ray...." you mumble, but then speak louder. "So you can reverse it right? You can change me back to normal?"
"Yes, of course I can. But you're not really asking the right question. The right question is if I will."
"But...but why..." you begin, before Michelle cuts you off.
"Hush now Tony. For now you know all you need to know. I have a few more chapters to read before I go back inside and I'll never get it done if I keep chatting with you. If you ever want to get back to normal, you know you'll have to stick around with me. But I don't trust you to not try and scramble away yet. So I'm going to keep you somewhere secure until my reading is finished. Make sure to make me nice and comfy, this ground has begun to make me feel a bit sore." she said with a wink.
You are at a loss for words and have no idea what she means until she begins to lower her hand and shift her weight to the side. You see her massive, round right cheek lift off the ground, exposing the crushed blades of grass that had been flattened beneath her. You fear that this will be your fate as well. Michelle tucks your small body away and immediately repositions herself on top of you, crushing you instantly. She smiles as she shifts her weight, finding just the right position for the rest of her reading.
With a content sigh, Michelle returns to her book. You scream inwardly, knowing that you're completely at her mercy.
