David was lost in thought as he sat in the passenger seat. He didn't have any clothes. With how many people shrunk all at once, there were just too many shrunken people to think about clothing them all. It was a disaster, so emergency personnel of various kinds arrived to rush David and others to the hospital to be checked out and even the hospital couldn't provide a hospital gown that fit.
The hospital experience was awkward to say the least. The bed was way too big and some suggested sending David to the kids ward or borrowing beds and equipment from the kids ward but even some of the stuff from the kids ward was too big for David.
The hospital staff also sometimes seemed to forget that David was an adult. No, it was worse than that. They sometimes seemed to forget that David was human. They'd come in and take measurements or stick probes in him without asking permission or explaining why they were doing the same procedure that they'd already done ten minutes before. And the worst was that they would just pick David up and carry him down the hall to get an x-ray or something. Sometimes they'd realize their mistake and apologize but then forget again and ten minutes later, the same person would be carrying David down the hall fully exposed to everyone.
It did help that David knew he wasn't the only one going through this. A few of David's friends had also been caught by the shrink bombs. David felt guilty about his feelings of relief that his friends were shrunk too. However, David didn't get a chance to really talk to his friends about anything. He would see his friends from time to time as they too were carried down the hall. Dennis was even smaller than David. Rick was at least large enough to wear a kid sized hospital gown. The closest David got to being able to talk to one of his friends was when he and Paul had measurements taken side by side. David got to see them use calipers to measure Paul's arms and legs. The doctors determined that all Paul's parts were still in correct proportion to each other.
Now as David stared at the glove compartment, still naked, he wondered what he was going to do. The only doll clothes large enough for him were expensive outfits that came with collectible porcelain dolls. Kids clothes were too big. Even towels and washcloths weren't an easy fix since he was too big for a washcloth and too small for a hand towel.
But after all the exposure he'd already experienced, he wondered if he might just have to go through life naked. He knew that he'd already been caught on camera. He saw his naked body on a news report on the television and he was sure that newspapers and magazines had also taken his picture. Although he couldn't figure out who took the picture, he was sure that one picture was taken while he and Paul had their arms outstretched to get a measurement from fingertip to fingertip.
They finally arrived home. Their parents were away on vacation. At least James wasn't grabbing David and taking him places. James waited awkwardly wondering if David could open the car door and when it was obvious David could not, James went around and opened the car door. David crawled out and without bothering to cover up anymore, walked to the front door.
James had to open the door for him. David needed to use the toilet so James had to open that door too. When David saw that the toilet was bigger than him, he cried.
James lifted David to stand on the toilet seat. James looked down at his tiny, muscular, naked, older brother. It was an odd mix. David was still strong and still looked like he could put up a good fight but he needed help to pee. James felt an odd mix of feelings about David.
