The temptation to go try it on his tall and domineering step mother was too much.
Ty snuck from his bedroom and stood at the top of the stairs, looking down into the kitchen. He saw June at the sink, cleaning up the breakfast dishes.
Carefully aiming, Ty shot the shrink beam at June and watched as she was engulfed by the same green glow as his bed and the dinosaur toy. June gasped out loud, staring at the strange glow suddenly surrounding her body, and looked over herself in surprise as suddenly she began to tingle all over.
Ty was shrinking June! His step mother quickly dwindled from her normal height, clothes and all, and Ty let go of the trigger just as her head reached the top of the counter. Now a little over three feet tall, the shrunken June stared at her bigger surroundings in sudden shock and confusion, wondering what the heck had just happened to her. She wasn't a stupid woman, though, and the words suddenly slipped off her quiet tongue. "I... shrank." She realized, mouth agape.
"Yes." Ty grinned, now standing right behind his step mother.
June wheeled around to scold Ty and she gasped in horror. She was staring *up* at her weakling of a step son!
