Title: Chapter 1: Intro
This story was really interesting to read from start to finish but painful at the same time just from the over the top horrible luck the befell James any way it was good story but the ending doesn't describe what Kyra's motivations for doing this was or if it did i didn't see. Last complain though is more personal since I was hoping for a chapter that revealed to mrs. Adams that James was telling the truth the whole time and that the babysitter lied about the list. Again just personal problem. But yeah great story
Author's Response:
Yeah, I decided not to have Amy ever find out the truth because I wanted to drive home the point that he's helpless and that no one takes him seriously enough at his small size to hear him out or give him any benefit of the doubt anymore -- they all get to the point where they assume he's just plain naughty and immature and so they never look any further (a big part of the size fetish theme, for me). So anything to upset this order of things (e.g. Amy finding out the truth from elsewhere) would be counter to that, so I avoided that.
On a similar note, personally I liked how Kyra had no specific motivation to do what she did to him throughout -- it amplifies his feeling of helplessness and unfairness that he feels towards the shrinking already. Plotwise, though, I can see how some might find it less than satisfying.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
