Paul thought about this situation, and looked at the other two guys in the room. They also looked smaller, but only a little. They hadn't noticed any changes yet, but
Paul could see they were having a harder time with their work.
This whole situation reminded Paul of his dream again, and he thought for a minute that he should stay at work anyway. After another few seconds of looking down
at Larry, he decided that wasn't such a good idea after all.
"Maybe you'd better go home early today," Paul suggested. "I think I'd better go home too, now that I think of it." Paul quickly collected his things and made up
some excuse for the foreman. He was friends with the foreman, so it wasn't a big deal for him to leave early. As he opened his car door, he heard someone call out
to him.
"Hey, aren't you forgetting something?" It was Steve. Paul had agreed to give Steve a lift home today, but with the shrinking thing, he had forgotten all about it. "I
saw you were heading out to your car, so I knew I had to act fast," Steve said with a smile.
"Um, yeah," Paul said. "Something's come up; I'm sorry that I've got to go early. Can you find another ride?" Paul had worked with Steve at different jobs for
several years and didn't want anything funny to happen to him too.
By now Paul had replayed the whole dream in his head from last night, and remembered the last part about his balls and shrinking. Paul had seen enough other guys
in locker rooms and porn videos to know that he had been gifted with some pretty big balls. Chances were, everybody at the whole job site would shrink today
but him.
"Nah, it's OK. I can leave early today." Steve said. Steve opened the car door to get in.
