"What the..."
Lose 10 inches said the card, that Dan held in his hand.
Dan was tall for his age, a shade under 6 foot. He enjoyed his height and secretly pitied
Jon his measly 5'6".
Something very odd was happening, for with every few seconds that passed. Jon began to
look bigger and bigger.
Briefly they were eye to eye. Dan was shrinking in proportion, and this left him much
smaller than his friend even at this point.
"Hey, man" said Jon "Welcome to my size!"
But no sooner had he spoken that Dan slipped down another inch. As his height stabilised
at an "if you're lucky" 5'2" he found himself looking up, way up at Big Jon.
Every bit of him was now smaller than his friend. He had a light build to begin with, but
was lithe and athletic at 6 foot, was distinctly wimpy at 5 and a bit.
How was he going to live life at this size?
