The bell rang to end the school day. Steve walked out to his 1987 4x4 Ford
Ranger. His best friend, Bob, came out and threw his bag into the
bed of the truck. It was a nice spring day. Steve and Bob got into
the truck, Steve started it up and shifted it into gear and took
off. Bob, when are you getting your car back? It's been two weeks
since the crash; Steve said. I should have it back by the end of
the week. Bob said. Steve pulled into the gas station to fill his
truck up. While he was doing that, he saw his girlfriend's car go by
towards Newtown. Steve paid for the gas and pulled back onto the
road. The car in front of them pulled to a stop. What the hell is
going on? Steve said. He could see cars lined up around the curve.
Steve reached down and popped the tape out of the radio. He tuned in
the AM all news station. This is Bill Brooks on 1425 KWZT all news
radio. Routes 311, 255, 12 are closed down into Newtown. Please find
an alternate route around the jam-up. We now go to Alan Black just
outside of Newtown. This is Alan Black outside of Newtown. The
Police have closed the town off to all people . They are not saying
why, just to stay away. Back to you. Steve turned the radio off.
What do you think of that? Steve said. I don't know. Want to go
see? Bob said. Yeah, lock the hubs on your side. The two boys
jumped out and locked the hubs of the truck. Steve got back in and
pulled his truck out of line and when into a corn field. He put it
into 4x4 and headed to Newtown. Steve drove his truck parallel to
the road they just left. Steve looked in his rear view mirror and
saw that a Jeep was following them. The Ranger burst out of the
cornfield into Newtown. The town was a ghost town. The pick-up
pulled onto Main St. and the two boys saw what looked as though a
bomb went off. There was glass everywhere. All of the windows were
broken on the stores. One store was not there. The boys got out of
the truck. What the hell happened here? Bob said. I don't know.
But I'm heading that way Steve said, pointing down the street. They
got back into the truck, pulled onto the sidewalk and drove for a
bit. Steve put the Ranger back on the road. All of a sudden, he hit
the brakes. Why did you do that? Bob said. Steve got out of the
truck and stood in front of an indentation in the road. It was about
as long as the Ranger, and about 3'' deep. It was in the shape of a
foot. What the hell? Bob said. It looks like a big foot. Steve
said. Let's follow it. Bob said. They got back into the truck and
went in the direction it pointed. They passed several more
footprints before they went into a corn field. There were several
car or truck tracks that went into the field. Steve pulled the
Ranger into the path of the other cars and followed them. It took
them though a very large field and they ended up at an old barn.
There were trucks and cars parked there, with people going in and
out of the barn. Steve pulled the truck back into the field and
drove to the back of the barn. They got out and walked out of the
field. there was a small, dirty window. Steve wiped a look-hole. He
looked in and saw the back of a huge leg. He couldn't look any
higher because of the size of the window. He let Bob look in. I'm
heading back to the truck. This is too weird for me. Fine. I want
to look and see some more. I'll be there shortly. Steve said. Steve
walked around the barn and he saw a small door. The door was not
locked down. He slid it up carefully and went in. He was walking for
a few moments when he heard a gun cock behind him -- the barrel went
against the back of his head. Don't move. a male voice said. Steve
heard the man take out his radio. This is unit 12. I got a perp. I
need back up. Out. Several men came running up with army clothing
on. Put your hands on your head. Move! Steve walked with the men.
Doctor, we found this person snooping around. What do you want we
should do to him? Handcuff him and make sure he can't leave. I
think he'll make a perfect test subject for project 4. the doctor
said. Let me go! Steve said. They handcuffed Steve and threw him
in a chair. He looked around the place. Apparently this barn was
just a front for some sort of secret testing facility. There was an
elevator with people entering and exiting. There must be more under
this thing, he thought. He finally looked at the thing that got him
into this mess. It was a 15-FOOT WOMAN!!! AND IT WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND,
STACY!!! Stacy looked out of it. These people must have drugged her
to make her docile and cooperative, he thought.Come on, kid. a
man with a big gun said. Steve got up and went into the elevator.
The elevator came to a halt. The doors opened and there was a
state-of-the-art research facility hidden there! There were people
with labcoats, and people with big guns. And in the corner, there
was a guy mopping the floor. This room was immense. It looked bigger
than 3 football fields!! They led Steve into a small room, uncuffed
him and threw him in, then shut the door with a dreadful thud. The
room was gray, with no windows or furniture. There was a bright
flash of light and an intense pain, and Steve passed out. Steve
awoke in the same room. Let me out!!!!he yelled. No answer. He
slumped against the wall. Steve. Who said that?he said. I am
Dr. Spangler. Welcome to Area 41. You are part of a secret
experiment. You will be with us for a long time. Please feel free to
leave this room by opening the door by pushing on it. I'm sure
you'll like what's on the other side. Steve walked over to the door
and pushed on it; it opened and he walked out. The door shut behind
him. STEVE! That sounded like Stacy speaking through a megaphone.
He looked around, but didn't see her.LOOK UP, SILLY. He looked
up, and up and up and up. Stacy was huge!!! She looked like a
35-story building!!! But last time she was only 15' tall. "Stacy,
you've grown! Steve said, bigger than before!No, she said as
she reached down and picked him up. Well, if she didn't grow,
then... I SHRUNK!! Steve said. Yep.Stacy said holding her hand
out flat so Steve could stand up on it. He stood up and passed out.
