Chapter #3Shrinking in the kitchen by: DougTF   Being able to shrink, or be shrunk by family has its moments where it is very much not great, but it also has some moments where it is pretty darned cool and allows you to do things that take advantage of situations. Today is one of them, as you came down from your attic mini-apartment to get some food. You have a mini-fridge but its tapped out, and no snacks left. You get paid tomorrow so will stock up, but you wanted some chips and dip now. Heading downstairs was always a chance for a mishap if a sibling saw you and felt like you being smaller. Hell, Evan did it sometimes, just to leave you tiny in the house, totally derailing your plan to go wherever it was you were headed at normal size. But you made it to the kitchen and everyone is either out, of the twins were watching a movie, just started from the sound of it. Haley had dance, Evan had soccer, and while that meant Brooke could come home any moment, she was the least abusive of your shrinking so it was worth a risk.
Of course, the bag of chips was put back empty, as was the tub of dip in the fridge. But that was not gonna stop you today. Evan is pretty bad like that, putting back empty food, but you discovered you could make use of his bad habit when no one was around. You take the chip bag and dump the crumbs into the empty dip tub, setting it on the table. Yep, crumbs and little bits of dip stuck to the sides, nothing worth wasting time over. For a normal sized person that is. You sit on the table and start the process, watching the kitchen become huge as you shrank to about 5 inches tall. Getting up, you walk over to the dip tub and step into it, the smell of French onion is strong at this size, but it's gonna get a lot stronger. Standing in the tub, you take a deep breath and shrink to less than a half inch. You are now trapped in the tub, since the walls are too tall for you to get over and the sides are slippery with left over dip. But you are surrounded by tons of awesome chips, some as big as you, and you grab the smaller ones, smear them on the sides and have an awesome snack. these crumbs are way to tiny to be eaten at normal size, but they more than fill you up at this small a size. You generally don't like going smaller than this, though Evan did reduce you to a speck, like a 1/10mm once, and it gets really hard to gauge your macroscopic surroundings that small.
As you are munching to your hearts content, you hear the door open: there is nothing you can do, even if you tried to re-enlarge it takes too long. You wait to see if they notice you, and if so, who it is.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
