Todd was ecstatic. It was too funny seeing her so tiny and helpless, as she struggled to climb out of her shoe.
He pressed the button again.
"Damn it!" Carrie squeaked in her tiny little voice as she felt the shrinking tingle again. She lost her grip on the edge of the shoe and fell down into it, landing on her butt.
When she recovered and stood up again, she looked up to see that the edges of the shoe were now well above her head. The shrinking had stopped leaving her only one and a quarter inches tall, 1/48th of her original size. The foot odor was everywhere still, but now she was more preoccupied with her own fear and frustration. She felt like she was about to cry.
How did this happen? she wondered. More importantly, what would she do now? She was trapped in her own smelly shoe and was now only as big as one of her own toes had been only minutes before. It was like some kind of strange nightmare, but she was sure that she was awake. The pain in her butt from her fall was proof enough of that. It was too much for her. She started to cry and sob in her squeaky little voice.
From where he stood, Todd couldn't even see her now. She was completely hidden inside of her own shoe. He could only guess what was going through her head now that she had become so insignificantly small. He imagined that it must be terrible, which made him smile. This was more fun that he had hoped it could be. Looking at the remote in his hand, he smiled even more. The power he felt at his command was so intoxicating. What would he do next?
