It's obvious Austin can't wait to have his own shrunken little man, and he very excitedly says he wants you shrunk down to three inches. His dad has to literally hold onto Austin's shoulders and pull him over to him to keep him still.
Mr. Franz slides the door behind the counter open and pulls out the glass containment unit you are in. "I'll have to take him out of the jar for the downsizing" he says. "Austin, would you like to be the one to get him out?" The boy immediately is at the counter as Mr. Franz opens the top of the jar and you hear a hissing sound as the pressure inside the jar is released. It's a very strange sensation, as you realize that you can now move, but it feels like your energy has been completely drained.
The next thing you know two giant hands are lifting you out of the glass containment unit. One of Austin's hands are holding your legs, and his other hand is under your back with his fingers and thumb holding your arms to your sides.
"Here Austin" you hear Mr. Franz say. "You can secure him to this." He sets a small board which is about 16" x 12" on the counter, and it's covered with velcro backing. Austin lays you on the board, and then straps you down with two velcro strips. Mr. Franz then takes the board you are straped to into the back room and positions it in front of the "camera" he used to shrink you to this size.
As Mr. Franz is setting the controls on the shrinking device he tells Austin and his dad that if they want to stay and watch the shrinking they need want to remove any jewelry or rubber soled shoes. He explains that since he is shrinking you from 12 inches to 3 inches he has to do it slowly, and more energy is released from the device which will cause metal and rubber to become rather hot. Austin's dad opts to go back out to the front part of the store, but of course Austin wants to stay and watch and immediately removes his shoes.
The shrinking machine is fired up and Mr. Franz starts the shrinking process. It is the strangest feeling in the world for you as you slowly start to get smaller and smaller. The process takes about three minutes to complete.
"Ok, Austin, he's all yours" you hear Mr. Franz say. And all you can see are his giant white socks walking your way.
