Chad scanned the area around him. The giant was so huge that he couldn't make out who it was. The words were recognizable, but the voice was distorted due to the new size of Chad's cochlea. The voice sounded like rumbling thunder- low and booming.
"Hey, Big Guy!" Chad squeaked. His voice sounded normal - well maybe an octave or two higher register than normal. But to Chad's normal size secret admirer, it was a high pitch squeak.
The thundering voice laughed. Chad faced the giant as he tipped his head backward, and walked slowly backwards at an angle to a drain on the fieldhouse floor. There was no way he could outrun anyone at his current size, but if he could get close enough to the drain, he was now small enough to escape down it. Maybe? At his current weight, he figured he could survive a two story drop - maybe 14 inches- without breaking any bones. Or he could fall further if there was water in the drain. He was a good swimmer.
Chad cupped his hands around his mouth to make a makeshift bullhorn. He shouted, "Oh, so this is all a joke. You've had your laugh," he paused as he continued to backup, "Now make me big again!" Chad ordered.
This time the giant through back his head and roared with laughter. Chad felt cold metal under his bare right foot. He could hear gently flowing water. There was water below, he was at the storm drain.
Suddenly, the giant bent over and his house size face loomed inches from Chad. Chad could see his arms moving too.
"Do you really think I'd go to all this trouble to shrink you, and then grow you big again, pipsqueak?"
Chad recognized the giant's face. He raised his middle finger, and squeaked at the top of his voice, "Fuck off! Bye!"
He stepped backwards into the space between the steel bars of the storm drain grate and vanished before the giant could grab him.
