Thanks for the review. Please continue to R&R.
My alarm went off at 6:00. I slowly got up and walked out to the kitchen. I was so tired! I glanced over at the time and once again I started to feel the room racing by me at 100 miles per hour! I grabbed the countertop to steady myself and then it stopped. I went into the bedroom to get a pair of socks. I didn't see any in my drawer, so I figured Wendy had done the laundry yesterday. I walked down the basement stairs to the laundry room and I noticed something very odd! I must have walked down these steps 100's of times and every time I had to duck right before the last step or I'd hit my head. I didn't have to duck at all; in fact I looked up and saw several inches clearance above my head! I stood there and shook. What is going on here? Am I shrinking? I walked upstairs and found Wendy was up too. She looked out of proportion as she stood there but I just couldn't put my finger on it. I was shocked because usually she sleeps in after I go to work and doesn't get up until at least 10:00 "What are you doing up hon?" I asked.
She gave me a strange look and said, "Well I figured I'd get up and go to work today just like every other day dear!" I was very confused at this point. She didn't have to work; I made plenty of money! My real shock came when she walked around the island and walked over to me. She was at least 2' taller than me!
I jumped back, she looked at me and said, "Damn Ken, I know I don't look that bad in the morning!" I just stood there shaking as chills went down my spine. Could I have shrunken again? And what the…my wife is taller than me now? I just couldn't believe my eyes.
"No I just don't feel very well hon." I told her. She looked down at me with concern and kissed me on the forehead.
"Maybe you should stay home little guy, I know you've been working hard all week ever since the party." She called me little guy! Just the other day I swore I was 10" taller than her! I have to go upstairs and shower. While she went upstairs, I went over to her purse and pulled out her license. It said she was 5'11" tall! I quickly ran over to my wallet and pulled my license out. I'm 5'9"! Now she's 2"taller than me! Something is very wrong here! I have to go to work to see if I could find Dr. Maphesto!
I went upstairs and showered. I noticed I had to adjust it down after Wendy had gotten out. Man I don't know what's going on, but I don't like it! I'm starting to feel like a shrimp! I got dressed and I couldn't figure out why all my clothes still fit me if I was shrinking! As I walked down the steps and looked into the den I noticed that all of my basketball trophies were gone. What the? Where did they go? I walked out the door and looked out at the driveway. "Where's my Mercedes?" I yelled.
Wendy walked out the door and to her car and said, "Indeed where is your Mercedes Hon!" I walked over and got into a Honda Civic. The seat didn't need adjusting or anything. It was a strange feeling, but it felt like I had been driving this car for a long time. I must be going crazy, maybe I only dreamed I was 6'5"!
I finally got to work and my brother was sitting there at my desk with his nameplate on it. I was really confused now! He looked at me and said, "Why are you always late?" You need to go down into your office and get to work!"
My dad walked up behind me and said, "You'd better listen to your brother Ken, you know he's taking over in a couple of months!" I thought I was taking over! And my dad now towered over me! What is going on here? Rebecca walked right past me and into Kevin's office. She was even taller than me now! I looked down and noticed she was wearing flats. Here are those reports you wanted, sir.
He smiled and said, "Give these to Ken so he can go over the figures." I remember doing the same thing to him all of the time! Now we've switched roles. He was Dad's favorite now! I hung down my head and walked down to Kevin's old office, which was now mine!
On the way there I ran into Red. She stepped in front of me and tried to block me from getting by. My dad walked up to her and said, "Red, could you please leave that boy alone?"
Red said, "But he's just so cute, Stuart I can't resist playing with him!" Great now I was Red's plaything instead of my brother! I walked into my office and saw Bebe there. She didn't look as small as she used to either! Still 4'10", but now 4'10" came up to my shoulders! I spent most of the morning looking for Dr. Olglestein, but couldn't find him. I was starting to get really sick about the whole situation. I asked Bebe if she could find out where he was and she told me he took a vacation! 'Oh great!' I thought. I spent the rest of the day listening to my brother calling me stupid and lazy and yelling at me because my work wasn't done. I couldn't wait to go home!
Finally the day ended and I went home. I walked in and lay down on the couch. I was there for a few minutes when Wendy walked in. "What's for dinner?" I asked her.
"You mean you didn't start dinner yet? Look we had an agreement that the first one home would start dinner!" I didn't remember any such agreement but I told her I was sorry. I walked out to the kitchen and looked in the cupboards.
She pushed me aside and said, "Oh, just go in the room and I'll cook!" I was shocked that she actually pushed me! Actually pushed me out of the way! I really started to feel sick to my stomach. Probably tomorrow she would be even bigger and stronger than me!
I stood there shaking for a moment and then told her, "Wendy, I feel sick, I don't think I'm going to eat tonight." She looked over at me with concern and walked over to me, put her hand on my shoulder and said she was sorry for pushing me. I went to bed and took some sleeping pills. Then I set my alarm for 6:30. Maybe if I sleep through what ever has been happening at 6:02, I'll be able to avoid it!
