BEWARE THE MAGIC POTION
By: Vanessa Sgroi
The Winchesters stared at the ruby red goblet-shaped glass sitting on the scarred wooden table. Smoke shimmered, curling in gossamer strands above the chalice. Next to it a note written in shaky script demanding "DRINK ME!"
Dean stepped forward and wrapped his fingers around the stem. He raised the glass to his nose and sniffed, grimacing at the noxious odor emanating from the viscous liquid within. He shrugged. "Down the hatch."
"Dean, no! I wouldn't do that. It never, never ends well."
"Sam, it says 'drink me'. I think I kinda have to follow the rules, remember?"
"You don't, Dean. You don't. We'll find another way."
"There is no other way, Sam." He raised the glass. "So...bottoms up!"
He swigged the foul beverage, quickly emptying the glass. For several seconds, nothing happened. Then there was a crack of thunder and a flash of light. And Dean shrunk. Shrunk to the size of a mouse. He squeaked until Sam picked him up and dropped him in shirt pocket.
Sam started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" squeaked Dean.
"Next time I fart, I can honestly say it wasn't me, it was the mouse in my pocket."
