After a while, you fall asleep. You wake up in a hamster cage. The hamster cage is furnished with makeshift furniture. There is a sponge for a bed with a handkerchief for a blanket and small pieces of felt for pillows. The couch is two six inch rulers on Lego bricks with large pieces of felt draped over it. There is a comb in the corner leading up to a hamster tube. You are naked.
Since the comb is like a ladder to you, you decide to explore. Maybe you can find an escape or maybe you can find some answers. You follow the hamster tube to the next hamster cage and this one looks like it's set up as a miniature gymnasium. Toothpicks are fastened together into a bar for doing chin-ups. A piece of string in the corner is just the right size to use as a jump rope. There's a hamster wheel in this cage that has been modified for human feet to run on. Bits of gum are stuck to the walls and dried to make what looks like climbing walls.
No one seems worried that you might escape. You can see more hamster tubes branching off to other hamster cages. Although you don't see any escape yet, you seem allowed to roam for what looks to you like more than a mile.
As you climb the wall to the next hamster tube the bearded man looks in on you and says, "Ah good. You're awake and it looks like the process was a success."
You ask, "Where's Jordan?"
"He is still being processed." The beared man says. "He should be joining you soon."
You ask, "Why have you shrunk me."
The bearded man says, "You are going to be a secret agent for the government."
You say, "I don't want to be a secret agent for the government."
The bearded man says, "You have no choice. The device implanted in you allows us to control your size. We can shrink you down to one inch tall or grow you back to normal height. Not only that but we can control different parts of you so that we can make you super strong or super weak. Even in your tiniest form, you are nearly indestructible. But if you think of escaping or turning on us, we can make you so weak that a speck of dust could crush you to death."
You let go of the wall and sit on the floor with your head down. "My life is over."
The bearded man says, "I'm sorry. I had no choice. Dr. Higgs simply wanted to dispose of you. I pleaded to make you agents since this is the best option I could arrange for you. It won't be a bad life. We're working on making furniture in your size. If we can, you'll live in luxury between missions."
