The Shrinking Genius

    by: Calex The Werekitten Author IconMail Icon
Alex stopped on his way to the door of the lab as he realized his shirt was even looser on him than it had been. hen he had shrunk himself down to two and a half feet tall. Right after he had shrunk the bottom of his shirt had reached down to his shins, now it was touching his ankles. This wasn't a huge difference, but it was still a difference and he was quick to pick up on the implication of it.

He shouldn't still be shrinking if the machine was working right, but there was the chance that he had slightly miscalculated, pressed the wrong button, or done a number of other things and so might still be getting smaller. He had to find out quickly. He looked around the classroom trying to find a mirror he could examine himself in. There was one hung on the wall near the back of the lab, but at his current height he couldn't exactly see into it easily. He found a stool and pushed the stool across the room towards the wall. He was surprised how heavy it was, but considering he was a little less than half the size of a normal high school student it wasn't that surprising.

It took him several minutes to get the stool over to the wall, and then he tried to climb on top of it. Even at his small size climbing the stool wouldn't have posed to much of a problem, but his movement was limited by how big his shirt was on him, and so he nearly tripped over his own shirt several times trying to get up onto the stool. Once on top of the stool he stood up, easily able to stand and balance on top of it. Now his shirt was actually touching the top of his feet. He was definitely still changing.

He looked in the mirror to examine himself and find out exactly what was going on and there he saw...

You have the following choices:

1. Alex was still shrinking!

2. Alex was getting younger!

3. Alex was both shrinking and getting younger!
