"You're right, Bob. I'll go this time." Hailey said.
"Are you sure?" Bob asked.
"Of course." Hailey assured him. "Besides, This machine is both our work, it's only fair that I get a chance to shrink, right?"
"Alright. But don't say I didn't warn you." Bob said, reluctantly agreeing with her. "Step onto the platform."
Hailey did so.
"I think you worry too much, Bob. Just don't make me too small!" Hailey said jokingly.
"I'll try not to. Let's see, how about we try for 6 inches again?" Bob asked.
Hailey agreed and Bob started the machine again and a bright light covered Hailey's body. In an instant she started shrinking very fast. So fast that it was less than 2 seconds later when she had become too small for Bob to see! Which could have been partly because Hailey's clothes had, for some reason, not shrunk along with her and she seemed to disappear into them.
"Oh, crap!" Bob shouted.
He got up to go to where Hailey had shrunk to try and find her. But as he did he noticed smoke started coming from the device and with a loud explosion noise the machine short-circuited. And it was about to blow! Bob knew he had to act fast, he quickly snatched up Hailey's seemingly empty clothes and ran out of the room.
Once he was clear of the room, Bob set Hailey's clothes on his nearby desk and then went to call for help. If he had stuck around a bit longer he might have seen a tiny speck of a woman crawl out from her clothes. It was Hailey, reduced to a incredibly tiny size and left alone on her co-worker's desk.
