Even as Mary wiped the liquid off of her, she knew it wasn't fast enough. She was growing. At first it was an inch, then two inches. Soon she was six inches, double her height. But she kept growing. Mary was starting to panic now. How big would she get? Already double her height, her body showed no signs of slowing. Mary grew to eight inches, then twelve. In another minute Mary was nearly twenty four inches tall.
Mary's growth seemed to slow and then stop. She sighed, relieved. At least she had grown so large from her tiny height. She did not want to know what would have happened had she started from her human height.
In any case, Mary thought, I should be big enough to open the door now. Mary quickly flew to the door and easily opened it wide.
