Jeremiah immediately felt another tingle.
Immediately, he felt himself getting shorter, and his coveralls now looked even bigger than before.
Even weirder than that, the scales now looked different - instead of the display reading 119lbs dead, it now read 110lbs dead.
Jeremiah grabbed the tape measure, and stood against the door, using the book to mark his new height. With the tape measure he moved towards the new mark.
it was 52 inches now.
he was 4'2!
"Holy cow!" Jeremiah said. "The fountain worked after all. I'm shrinkin'."
He unzipped his now gigantic coveralls, and got himself outta them. Even the clothes he was wearing under them - a green plaid long-sleeved shirt, and blue jeans, they seemed bigger on his shrunken body. Even his socks looked baggy on his feet.
"It really did work." Jeremiah said, as he felt his jeans loosen, and drop down around his ankles. "I'm shrinkin' outta my clothes." He stepped out of them, and pulled off his baggy-looking socks. Then, He wriggled his toes.
His shirt now seemed like a dress to him, and covered his naked thighs.
