he managed to activate the gun, and he zapped himself with the ray gun set to....
shrink.
Almost immediately, Alfie felt himself beginning to get smaller. Almost immediately, his clothing began to loosen. As he tried to leave, he tripped, and found his shoes and socks were loosening on his shrinking feet.
Alfie felt his pants loosening. His bag of stolen goods seemed to be growing too, and getting heavier.
he stared at his clothes, and gasped. His shirt and coat looked larger than normal.
Then, he heard a rustle noise, and when he looked down, he gasped. his pants had fell down; for they were too big to wear!
ANd his undies were much too big also, so they fell down too.
his shoes were now so big, his feet no longer fit them; and the same was true of his socks.
now in only his expanding shirt and coat, Alfie wriggled his toes, and watched in horror as his clothes rapidly expanded like mad, expanding at least 10 sizes at a time. Looking down at his hands, Alfie saw that all he could see were sleeves.
within seconds, Alfie was now dollsized.
