Joel was about 14 years old.He lived with his adopted mom and 2sisters,also 
his cousin was visting.His real family was tradjically killed in a car 
accident.Anyways he was told not to go into the basebent because of a flood.So 
fiannly curiousity got the best of him and he crept down while his "family" was 
in the back yard.He was in the basement when he saw that the side of the wall 
was cracked in half.It wedged it open and slipped through.He was in a closed off 
romm.He glanced around and saw an old box..he opened and saw a book.He flicked 
through and saw a spell that would rapidly shrink something.he chuckled to 
himself and said"As if this would ever work...it would insult my intelligence 
toread it....ahh i have to."He began to recite the spell"Wrikkle Yarsha besshop 
umna uman incho..hmm those are stupid words...oh well"He felt a small twinge all 
over his body but dismissed it.hewalked up the stairs and then when he reached 
the kitchen he blacked out.When he woke up he saw himself in a house.Butnot his 
house..he saw a table full off food..he bit a peice of pizza and hurt his 
mouth...The food was plastic!He felt a shake and the house roof lifted up and he 
saw his"sisters"head.She reached down towards him and he took off.Se may have 
only been 12 but she was fast ,she grabbed him with her massive hands and hauled 
him up."I know youre really my adopted brother and i dont know how youve become 
so small but youre all mine now"she said while she grinned."No"he yelled.She 
laughed at him whle he tried to squirm free."youre so tiny and pathetic i could 
snap you in two."He suddenly felt himself grow smaller..he was 2 inches high 
now."ooo youre smaller now,you fit perfectly in my hand now...heh great."He bit 
her his hardest and she dropped him."Ow you stupid pest..thats it i never liked 
you in the first place."He took off running,she slammed her fist behind him and 
he fell.She stood up,he glanced at her..she was like 3000 feet high to him.Her 
foot raised to squish bim but as it was about to mush him she stopped."Hmm on 
second thought ill just leave you here...you can try and get help and for 
yourself...ill come back for you later..hee hee hee."Joel was sad..he was going 
to be alot smaller before she cambe back..his only hope was to get some help 
beofre then.His cousin and her friend were only on the other side of the 
deck,around the corner.If he could make it to them...He ran as fast as he could 
as he turned around the corner,he shrunk again,only this time he was about 5 cm 
tall.He yelled to them and his cousins friend glanced down at him,"yes she saw 
me"he thought."Ewwwwww a bug...gross."Se tried to step on him...he just dodge 
it,he began to run was getting away but he bumped into his "cousin,sara's toe.He 
flew back and landed on his behind."dont kill the poor little bug"She plucked 
him between her fingers and set himon her hand.She opened her hand only to 
see...
nothing..at least thats what it appeared.All she was a tiny black dot..."hmmm i 
guess it fell off my hand."but that wasnt the case..he got even smaller.He was 
screaming for help but he fell off her hand and onto her friends shoe and was 
knocked unconcious."you know whats funny"sara said"he looked like joel..and 
sounded like him too for a sec there...you think..you think he found that 
book??"Her friend replied"Naw that thing was totally hidden.""yea youre 
right."They walked back into the house.When joel woke up again he found himself 
on a rough coarse area...it was the kitchn floor.He was even smaller...he must 
have been about 1/4 of a mm high!He saw his cousin and his mom at the 
table..their booming voices wear deafening but he could almost make out what 
they were saying"
"He found the book...hes shrunken,or shrinking rather...your sister confessed it 
to me.."
"all islost then,mom..unless he can gained our attention..."
"i hope so..we better not move from here..i dont want to step on him by 
accident.""ok"
He was about a mile away from her foot.He ran it in a half an how.But he shrunk 
even more...hes like a dust paticle now.He stared up at her mountainsized toe.he 
had no problem climbing up her toe.Then straight up her leg.Finally after 15 
minutes of climbing he wa son the table..now what?He yelled and screamed..and 
yelled some more.No luck...but by a fluke of fait sara saw him.
"Look its him!"
"Yea its me"he yelled but nobody heard.
"climb onto my hand!"He climbed up her finger and she gently set him in her 
hand.It was bigger than his city ...he tried to see past her hand but he 
couldnt.It was so large...he felt the now familiar feeling and shrunk even 
more.He was invisable t the naked eye.
"Joel,Joel???Mom go get the book!"He covered his ears to try and drown out the 
drilling sound.She stared at him,her heavy breathing pushing him down.The cracks 
in her hand were like large canyons...his mom came back up the stairs.
"here goes..i hope this works.."he recites the spell and joel slowly grew back 
to his normal size!He was happy and that night they burned the book,and all its 
secrets.
