Bryan came to a halt at the edge of a busy sidewalk. His vision was
filled with pairs of massive shoes as people walked to and fro. There
wasn't any way he was going to willingly go out there among all those
giants stomping back and forth on the pavement.
But, a nervous glance over his shoulder showed him the rat still
skulking in the shadows of the alley. The huge rodent looked agitated,
as if it was deciding whether or not to continue its pursuit of him.
Suddenly, something smashed down onto the pavement only inches from
him. Bryan jumped back in fright. He needed a second to recognize the
object. It was a cell phone, but the device was bigger than his body.
Suddenly, a huge hand reached for the phone. Of course! Bryan realized
his stupid mistake. Someone had dropped the phone. He started to run,
but he didn't get far.
Five giant fingers curled around his body and lifted him. Despite his
terror, Bryan managed to focus on his captor.
The man, looking to be in his mid twenties, wore a dark business suit
and dress leather shoes. He had stooped over to retrieve his cell
phone, and remained kneeling after he snatched the inconceivably small
teenager. He had dark hair and brown eyes. His eyes stared at the
struggling teenager in his hand.
Other people were passing by the man as he continued to kneel on the
sidewalk. He straightened to his full height. He slipped his cell
phone into a pocket in his suit jacket. The hand holding his tiny
prisoner he slid into another pocket.
Convinced no one had seen anything out of the ordinary, the man
quickly left the alley's entrance.
