Good slow shrinking start that eschews the need for an explanation and explores the characters relationship together and makes the husband unlikeable.

I like the dart rather than a ray, but the shrinking scene itself lacks good scale, but the quaking is a good detail. The trees are described as colossal but there's no mention of the doorknob being above him just farther away so I don't know what size he is during the capture scene. I think the first chapter should include a description of what the girl is wearing even if it's just a schoolgirl unifom they come in different colors. The missing persons report and cellphone are both great details, though the second chapter has alot more detail, inluding the brand of the bag and it's movements. Exciting so far.
