This choice: The officer pockets you before Lisa can respond • Go Back...Chapter #5Inside the pocket of the police woman by: Tslar   You hoped and prayed that Lisa will somehow manage to save you from that evil smirking police officer. Maybe she can get the attention of the crowd around her to create social pressure and demand your release.
"Excuse me officer, I don't want to get out of line, but I saw you shrinking my friend and putting him in your pocket. Can you please release him and turn him back? I'm sure he is innocent!" Lisa said to the police woman who shrunk you.
You could hear fear in her voice. Both of you knew that there are some people, even in law enforcement, that were thrilled on every opportunity to have a Tiny.
"Listen carefully lady! Unless you want me to arrest and shrink you too for disturbing an officer, I suggest you move along with that 'peaceful protest' of yours! The tiny you refer to is now in my possession by law!" The police woman replied in a firm tone.
"Yes ma'am" you heard the sad voice of Lisa saying.
Your heart dropped. You never thought your life will come to this point. During your entire life you were careful to not break any law. You were a good citizen, never even pirated songs on the internet. You even never harmed a shrunken person, even when it was legal, because you thought it is wrong. And now your world fell apart. Now you are a shrunken man yourself, not even considered a human being. You were now legally like any other product.
You thought about what is coming for you. Your life is probably going to end sometime soon, as you well know tinies don't live long.
By law, the any officer who shrunk a criminal on spot was obligated to document it and turn it in to the "Shrunken people recycle and sorting system". Most of the tinies ended up there were sent to the food industry, destined to become some food item or cooking ingredient. Some were going to be pets or some sort of slaves, some were going to be used as consumables like disposable 'to go' tissue paper, and some will become wearable accessories. But the vast majority will become food.
That was all in theory. In actual life, there were police officers who took the shrunken person with them for personal use, skipping the red tape. Even when someone was shrunk after a legitimate court, you could find corrupt officials who would make sure the shrunken convict will be delivered to a specific someone (like a very angry ex-wife..) for the right payment.
So what will become of you?
1. Will the police woman process you in the system correctly? You will end up being sent to a shrunken people sorting factory to probably end up somewhere in the food industry, with small chance to end up as something other than food.
2. Or, will she keep you to herself? In that case she might eat you as a snack or take you home with her for any personal use. Who knows, maybe you can even plot an escape?
Both options sound terrifying to you. You recall seeing what other normal people, back when you were normal, did to tinies. The majority would just eat tinies like any other food, ignoring the fact that they used to be normal people. But some took extra fun torturing the tinies. You didn't know what's worse, being swallowed whole and digested alive, or being crushed and chewed up. Being mixed up with some other food items that you hate and painfully dying by stranger sounded like the nastiest way to end your life.
You tried to send away those scary thoughts as you waited inside the police woman's pocket for your fate.
