Eric had no idea what was going on. He was beginning to get a little spooked. How could his sandal have fallen off? Not just that though; why did his sandal look so big? His feet have always been a size 12, and no one's sandals could stretch that much.
He noticed his khaki shorts beginning to slip down further, and his t-shirt became looser. He was beginning to freak out. What could have caused this? He decided to see if "Ryan" knew what was going on. He turned right around and ran back up the stairs. As he did so, he lost his other sandal. He didn't even bother turning around for it. He knew it wouldn't fit.
With each step up the stairs he took, it seemed that he had to lift his legs up higher to get to the next step. When he got to the top of the stairs, he felt a powerful tingle all over his body. Whatever was happening to him has sped up. He stopped and looked around the kitchen. Everything was huge! His not so bright mind had finally figured it out.
He was shrinking!! He rushed back through the hallway, and into the room where he met "Ryan".
"Do you know anything about this??" Eric asked in a panic.
John looked at him and couldn't help but burst out in laughter! What was once the tall, well built Eric, was now a shorter version of him, in proportion in every way. John thought he couldn't have been more than 4 feet tall. He had no sandals on, since they slipped off his feet. His shirt hung even looser on his tinier frame. His khakis also looked like they were ready to fall off.
John decides not to tell him anything yet, and to wait until the shrinkage is complete. He noticed that the process had gotten faster, and he wondered how small Eric would become.
