"Now, let's think about the logistics of you living here" Elspeth pondered as she eyed James up and down "As you can see my place is relatively modest and I get enough funny looks from the neighbours as it is. I don't think having a naked six foot man about the house is going to be practical"
"Then I should leave" James offered.
"Oh, there's no need for that" Elspeth waved away the protest "and please remember to call me mistress"
"Yes mistress"
"No, all I shall need to do is make you smaller" the witch smiled amiably "a lot smaller"
"But mistress..."
The old woman wagged a bony finger at James to halt whatever complaint he was about to make "Just wait here a moment. I think I have the perfect thing for you"
As Elspeth left the room James decided enough was enough. He was getting out of here even if it meant walking home naked. He strode forward purposefully but as he reached the exit to the living room he felt as if he had just walked into a brick wall.
"Seriously?" James exclaimed in disbelief. He held out a hand to confirm the invisible forcefield keeping him prisoner. There was no way out. Gallingly, at the sane time Silas the cat strode into the room effortlessly.
"Great so even the fucking cat can come and go as he pleases" James huffed, realising just how low his status in this house was.
"Of course I can, Elspeth would never dare bind me to a room" the cat answered to James' disbelief "and I'd adopt a more respectful tone when referring to me in future. It sounds like I"ll soon be a lot bigger than you"
James didn't even have time to respond to the talking feline before Elspeth returned holding a large, old fashioned and frankly creepy looking dolls house.
"She can't be serious" James mouthed to himself as she placed it carefully on the large table in the centre of the room.
"There, now get on the table please" she smiled at her new acquaintance "you don"t want me accidentally treading on you!"
"But mistress I..."
"Look, it's either this or I turn you into a rat and you can live in the cage in the basement with my other test subjects" Elspeth warned tetchily.
Grudgingly, James climbed onto the table and sat cross legged next to the house he would apparently soon be living in, which was currently around the same size as he was.
"There now sit still and no more complaining, I need to concentrate"
Elspeth began waving her hands and muttering something incomprehensible. Sure enough James rapidly felt himself getting smaller and smaller and smaller...
"There!" the giant witch boomed proudly at him once the spell was complete and James had been reduced to a pathetic three inches in height "that wasn't so bad was it? Now, I suggest you get some rest in your new abode. You have a busy day ahead of you tomorrow!"
