"She's In Charge Now"

Tom was like most college students at Anytown State University. He spent his weekends drinking beer with his friends, did as little work as possible to get by, and had mild success with women. But Tom was different in one way. His father worked for a top-secret government laboratory that did experiments using shrinking technology-something most of the public didn’t know existed. It gave Tom a thrill that he knew this secret which would amaze anyone, but it bothered him that if he told anyone they wouldn’t believe him. So he decided he would prove it. He went to visit his father at the lab, ostensibly to get a check for some spending money. On the way out, he snuck into the closet where portable shrink rays were kept. He picked the one in back-the least likely to be used-and replaced it with a harmless look-alike he had brought with him. Then he left the building and excitedly drove back to campus.

Jamie Sullivan was a gorgeous blonde who lived down the hall in Tom’s dorm. She stood 5’ 11” and had a face and body to die for. She was a part-time model, basically any guys dream, but she was also somewhat conceited and full of herself. Ordinarily she would never have anything to do with Tom, but he thought maybe if he let her in on his “little” secret, she would be impressed enough to go out with him.

He put the shrink ray in his pocket and walked down to Jamie’s door and knocked twice. “Who is it?” her sexy voice called out from within. “It’s Tom from down the hall. I wanted to ask you something”. “Ok, come in”. She opened the door and let him inside. She was wearing high heels, a blue dress and a hot white blouse, looking shockingly beautiful. Since he was 5’ 9” she was two inches taller than him and she worked out, so she didn’t feel at all threatened by him. The fact that she could probably kick his bottom made him even more attracted to her.

“I wanted to show you this. Do you believe that it’s possible to shrink things?”. “You mean like in Honey I Shrunk the Kids?” she said warily. “Yeah, let me demonstrate”. He thought, oh boy, wait till she sees this. He took out the shrink ray and picked up one of her books. “I’ll try half size”. He set the ray, pointed it and pressed the shrink button. The green beam the ray produced enveloped the book and it was instantly reduced to half its previous size. “Oh my god, that’s amazing!” Jamie gasped. Her face was filled with wide-eyed astonishment. He smiled at her confidently. “Where did you get that?”. “I invented it” he lied “This is the only device like it in existence”. “Wow, you must be a genius Tom! I never knew you were so smart” she said, genuinely impressed. Then she changed her tone “Can I try it, sweety?”. “Of course you can, babe”. He thought, this is great, she thinks I’m god right now.

“Here, you just enter the miniaturization factor and press the shrink button. For example if you enter ‘two’ and press shrink, the target will be reduced by half its size”. Almost before he could finish talking, Jamie set the ray, pointed it at the TV and fired. The TV shrunk and Jamie grinned. “Wow this is fun! I feel so powerful!”. Tom was starting to get really turned on by her (it was hard not to under any circumstances, and sharing his secret with her seemed to bring them much closer). “So what if I wanna make something really small, like ten percent of its old size?” “You just enter ten and hit the shrink button” Tom replied. “And I assume the restore button makes things normal again?” she asked. “You got it, babe” he answered. Jamie restored the TV to normal, then shrunk it to ten percent of its old size. “Wow, that’s really tiny!”.

Jamie seemed more interested in the ray than she was in Tom. It was almost like he wasn’t there and she was talking to herself. But then she focused on him again “What kinds of things do you use this for?”. “Well, I’ve been testing it out on objects, and I shrunk a cat the other day”. “Does it work on people?” Jamie asked. “I’ve never tried it” Tom replied. “Well can I try it on you, sweety?” she asked innocently. Tom felt blindsided by the question. He had never considered using the shrink ray on a person. He knew even at his father’s lab human testing was off limits. “I’m not sure how I feel about that. I mean…” “Oh come on, it would be really neat and I promise I’ll restore you right away. It’s just that I’ve never seen a shrunken person before, and I think you’d look cute” as they spoke, Tom noticed she was already setting the ray. This made him nervous, and he became even more so as she pointed it at him. “Please?” she begged. Suddenly before he could respond the ray went off and Tom was instantly shrunk-to five percent of his former height!

Tom had seen lots of things shrunk before, but had never personally gone through the shrinking experience. He looked up at Jamie. She stood up from the bed, kneeled down and stared at him. Her beautiful, billboard-size face filled up most of his field of vision. Then her amazed look turned into a grin. “Now you’re helpless, the shrink ray is mine and there’s nothing you can do about it!”. She quickly scooped him up and put his tiny body on her shoulder. He had to grab on to her beautiful hair to keep from falling off. Despite the fact that he was scared out of his wits, the smell of her perfume was intoxicating and turned him on even more. “No one saw you come in here. I’m going to keep you as my prisoner. And from now on” she said as she held up the shrink ray “there’s gonna be hell to pay for anyone who crosses me”.
