“Isn’t it interesting how weird and varied magic can be. See I have a spell too!” Matilda said stepping closer and snapping her fingers in front of my face, I wanted to flinch, I tried to close my eyes out of pure ingrained habit. But I couldn’t even blink my eyelids.

“I found I have a natural talent but it only manifests as the ability to shrink objects. Not people, no nothing as cool as that. Just objects. It’s not exactly impressive but it’s all I can do. But wouldn’t it be just terrible to be so small, so helpless…” sge trailed off as a stream of pale purple light began to slowly extend from her hand and wrap around my immobile form. I felt the effects instantly as the chair I was sitting in suddenly felt much roomier, my hips no longer pressed against the arms of the chair. The glowing coils of power grew thicker as I shrank. Three feet. Two feet… one foot tall. I wanted to struggle. Tell her to stop. Call for help from my now-absent coworkers.
