From his puny inch-tall status on the floor, Eric watched as an enormous man entered the laboratory. The giant wore drab brown coveralls and pushing a huge supply cart.
Eric recognized the colossus as the nighttime janitor.
He watched as the enormous man lifted a trash can near Eric's colossal desk and emptied its contents into his gigantic plastic bag.
Eric ran to the edge of the platform. Fortunately, the platform sloped like a sleek mound all around the edge instead of ending in a vertical drop.
He lowered himself over and initiated a wild 75-foot slide to the floor. In only seconds, he reached the floor and landed on his feet and began running out into the open floor.
"Hey! Look down. Here! On the floor!" Eric yelled. He leaped and swung his arms over his head.
Suddenly, the janitor was on the move again. His entire massive body moved with startling swiftness for something so immense.
Eric screamed as the giant huge work boots, each more than 130 feet long and at least 50 feet wide, stomped onto the floor near him. A gush of air whipped his body about in a maelstrom that tossed him about like a speck of dust drifting in air currents.
"Oh hell!" Eric exclaimed. He recognized how dumb he had been to rush out into the open...a bug-sized man in the presence of this titanic man.
"He nearly stomped on me!" Eric realized in horror and mind-shattering awe.
Fortunately, the janitor kept walking, soon leaving Eric far behind. The lapse gave
Eric a moment to recover and catch his breath. The close call with the janitor had left him weak-legged and panting.
His brain was also busy at work trying to think of a means out of his dilemma.
Testing the shrink ray on himself had to be one of the most stupid errors ever made. He knew that now. "I've just got to stay calm. I've got to think of a plan. I've got..."
Eric's voice trailed off.
In terror, he stared toward the horizon. The janitor was back...and pushing an immense mop and wheeled bucket in front of him. The mop's threads spread out in a huge tangle of gray cables.
And a wave of dirty water was being pushed in front of the janitor and his mop!
