Tom

    by: Small1 Author IconMail Icon
Eric watched from his position on the lab floor as his boyfriend entered the room.

Tom was an extremely handsome man, 25 years old, with dark hair and a dazzling smile. They didn't have a great deal in common, but that somehow translated into an attraction. He stood six feet tall — or currently the equivalent of 430 feet tall to his shrunken lover — and had a muscular frame that he kept toned through daily visits to the gym.

They had met in a club on one of Eric's infrequent nights on the town. A few weeks later, the younger man moved into Eric's apartment. That had been four months ago.

Tom was impressed by Eric's intelligence and his status as a college professor. He understood that Eric also conducted scientific research, but he had never delved very deeply into the focus of Eric's experiments. Science, math and such subjects somewhat intimidated him.

Right now, Tom looked unbelievably huge. He stepped into the lab, walking directly toward Eric.

Although Eric knew that he needed help to regain his size, Eric cowered in the presence of Tom's mountainous presence.

Tom strode into the lab. "Eric?" Tom shouted. "I got away after all! So, where's this experiment? Eric?"

Eric sprinted across the floor and approached Tom's huge sneakers. They looked more than 65 feet long and 20 feet wide.

And they were coming closer.

For the first time, Eric realized that Tom could be his destruction instead of salvation.

"Tom! Help!" Eric shouted.

Tom stood still for a moment. Eric ran closer.

Suddenly, Tom began moving again. One of his huge sneakers lifted. Its shadow fell over Eric.

You have the following choices:

1. Tom sees Eric

2. Tom doesn't see Eric
