Nearly two hours into his shift and Jack had made good progress on a collection of debriefings from sales he had made in the past fiscal quarter. He continued working as efficiently as he could to complete the total list of all debriefings and when they were all filed, he needed to provide a couple copies to his boss for oversight. As Jack got up to go make copies of his debriefings, he felt something fall out of his pocket. Jack immediately reacted, setting the papers down as quickly as he could while trying to recover the dropped object. Unfortunately, he just just a tad too slow to react and the object, of course being the shrink ray, landed on its front and activated. "No, no!" Jack exclaimed in a whisper. Before he could find something to get himself out of the radius of the shrink ray, he felt a jolt course through his body and in the blink of an eye, found himself standing way down on the ground, back to the few inches of stature he had been so accustomed of while in college.
"Dammit!" Jack exclaimed. He looked around his now giant desk and looked up to find his shrink ray sitting out on the middle of his desk. Things were much worse now than he had accounted for while in a panic. With the shrink ray out, someone was bound to get curious about it and walk over to give it a closer look. Without Jack at his normal size, he wouldn't be able to hide it from someone else and could potentially be in trouble if someone tried either to use it or take it. However, there was no possibility for Jack to climb up onto his desk. His desk chair had no viable climbing paths, with there being no legs, only a support bar in the middle of the seat. The desk itself was a full 90 degrees and far to smooth to get any traction. Jack shook his head in defeat as he knew that he wouldn't be able to fix this small problem without the help of someone else. However, this was the very first time he had been shrunken down while at work, and so Jack hadn't a clue how any of his coworkers would react. Jack grew uneasy as the thought crossed his mind of his boss finding out about his little predicament and he feared how she would react. Jack shuddered as he imagined Brenna snatching him and taking him into her office for a verbal lashing, or worse, one of her infamous demerit scoldings. Now more determined than before to get back to his normal size as soon as possible, Jack evaluated his options for help and came up with a plan to get back to normal size.
