Very nice story.
What I already liked about this story. Is that certain actions have consequences and the creepy part is that essentially normal or good people are committing these acts in a believable way. That is much scarier than those extreme unrealistic one-dimensional characters.

I like these realistic details, development. In this kind of stories, I find it more disturbing(In a good way), because of the characters that seem to have believable behavior patterns and the realistic dilemma's the shrinking of a person will give. Rachel, I found the most interesting character. She had a lot to deal with, between the lines you could feel her pain. You could really feel for the children and Denise too.

It is just creepy that people would just shrink people and sell them even sell shrunken children. That is a very evil act.

Glad to find this story where you can get invested in the characters and subtle but very unnerving events.

I hope you will write more stories and post them on this site. More creative freedom here and I will be on the look out for more of your stories.
