Robin continued to make strange gestures and motions towards Adam. Looking at his feet, you'd think he's levitating further, but you noticed that
Robin is actually shrinking him. The helpless Post Office worker got shorter and shorter, his belly started to grow out...
Despite his stomach expanding to the size of a small beach ball, the rest of his body did not gain much more fat, however, he was still shrinking
down.
"What are you doing to him?" You ask Robin?
"Just guess, you'll see in good time" he replied
Adam was looking increasingly worried as he suddenly felt like he was naked. All his clothing turned to smoke, and began to reform around him.
Adam's shoes turned to the same smoke as his clothing did, revealing his feet, which began to feel odd. He could see dark curly hairs sprouting
on the tops of them, and a tingle on the bottom as the soles toughened up. His hair also darkened and began to curl.
Finally, adam stopped shrinking when he reached about 3 foot tall. The smoke wrapped around him, forming a simple white shirt, brown shorts
with worn bottoms, and a pale brown weaved vest. Unlike the rest of the smoke, his shoes had completely dissipated, leaving his feet bare.
"Can you tell what he is yet?" Robin asked. turning to you. "Short, pot bellied, hairy feet..." you say to yourself... "A Hobbit!" "BINGO!" Yelled Robin,
as the slightly terrified Adam was dropped to the floor.
Turning back to Adam, Robin says "In the future I suggest you should be more helpful and less lazy. You'll have to deal with your reduced height
and increased appetite for now. Maybe I'll change you back, or maybe you'll come to like being a hobbit."
"Yes sir, sorry sir" Adam hurriedly replied, with a slight tone of worry. "Forgetting something?" "Oh gee, my apologies.. the mail...". Adam had
difficulty reaching the shelf now, but he managed to grab it standing on the edge of his stool. "Once again, ever so sorry for the inconvenience"
apologised the clerk as he handed the mail over to you. "Have a nice day!"
"That was amazing Robin! Really spectacular!" You applaud. "Ah, that was simple. You haven't seen anything yet." he replies, looking at you with a
cheeky grin. "Were there any more errands to do?"
