Officer Jones sat down in his cruiser and chuckled to himself. He was pushing fifty, and had put on quite a bit of weight the past few years. He slid a cigarette into his mouth and lit it. At this point in his career catching a perp by chasing them would be tough. But when they were an inch tall, it turns out, it was much easier.
He took a deep drag off of his cigarette. As he exhaled he could feel the tiny people squirming in his breast pocket. When he kicked the box out of the way there must’ve been a group of 50. In one scoop he’d managed to grab eight as the others scurried away. And now they were all prisoners in his pocket.
Officer Jones heard a small tap at his door. A few seconds later it happened again. And again. He looked out the window to see a tiny man chucking bits of pebble at his door.
“Let my friends go!”
Officer Jones took another drag off of his cigarette and flicked the butt at the tiny man. As he dove out of the way Officer Jones whipped the door open and grabbed him between his thumb and forefinger.
“Where are my friends,” the tiny man yelled, his head poking out from Officer Jones’ fingers.
“In my pocket,” the giant cop replied, lighting a fresh cigarette and blowing a huge plume of smoke on the tiny man.
“Did you really think you could save them?”
“N... no...”
“So why’d you come back?”
“Well... when you found us... I looked up and you were massive. It was the closest I’d been to a normal sized person since I shrunk. The big belly, the thick red and gray beard... I was a big fan of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ when I was a kid... and you looked exactly how I imagine the giant would. I ran out of fear... but then my curiosity got the best of me.”
