As you walked back and forth in your neighbor's house, you felt a little tense. It felt weird, like you were a burglar or something. Your first gut reaction was to shrink in the kitchen. With a large abundant source of food and water, surviving there would be much easier. Yet. . even though it would be easier, would it really be the best place?
Moving through the house at a quick pace, you think carefully as you look at each room. Opening one of the doors, you see it belongs to one of the kids. A lot of action figures line the wall, an Xbox. . this is definitely Ethan's room. There seemed to be a lot of food on the floor, as well as multiple flavored drinks. Realistically, this room might work out. The big problem with it though, is with this level of abundance, also comes other scavengers, aka as bugs. With the size that you had planned to shrink yourself too, competing with these bugs could be deadly.
Closing the door, you continue looking through the rooms, trying to think of another option. Looking at the living room, you see that it seems to have been consistently cleaned. You didn't really know your neighbors to well, so you assume then that one of them is probably a neat freak. Perhaps Rachel, the wife, is the one. Making your way around the room, you rethink your strategy about the living room. If things were really kept this clean, it would make things difficult for you constantly having to dodge these powerful giants.
Heading into the kitchen, you rethink your original strategy about staying here. Thinking it through, you were right the first time. There was a large amount of food here, the giants might eat in here occasionally, but realistically they would probably eat food more often in the living room or there bedrooms. It seemed like the perfect place. Opening the fridge, you grab a nice cold beer and pop it open with your car keys. Not that you had a car anymore, but hey. . they might come in handy here. Taking a small swig of the stuff, you look around the kitchen looking for the best place to. . .
'Jiggle, jangle'
You freeze.
The doorknob started to buckle and shake, the telltale signs of someone entering into the house!! The shrinking took some time. . yeah, a few seconds but. . if someone saw you actually getting shrunk . . it would ruin everything!! You couldn't risk it!! You had to get out of there, now!! Rushing quickly, but softly, you bolt out of the kitchen and living room. Making your way back towards the garage door, you realize that won't work either!! If whoever is coming in hears the garage open, they might grow suspicious. You don't want to go to jail!! Or worse. . they might have a gun, ending the adventure prematurely.
Going into another bedroom, things looked much different. Hanging from the walls was some artwork. A very nice drawings of a pretty blonde haired woman adorn the area, followed by three line paintings, all equally brilliant. Whose room was this? You heard footsteps from the other room. . .someone was inside the house now!! If you left the room now, you would be seen for sure! You climb up onto a nearby dresser and try to carefully undo the window sill. You could leave now, then when no one was inside, try and shrink again.
No luck. . the lock was on too tightly. You could force it, but the noise required for that would alert the person of your location.
'Jiggle, jangle'
No!!
Someone was opening the door here!! You had no time left.
Thinking fast, you pull out the shrinking device and zap yourself right here and there. As you start to dwindle down, the actual device falls and gets stuck behind the desk behind a computer. Finally reaching your destination, you notice a journal on the desk you are now standing on. The name reads 'Taylor'. This must be her room you shrank yourself in.
Taking a deep breath, you watch from afar as the door opens and in steps. . .
