Level Down

Zack was the luckiest guy in the world. He and his girlfriend, Mary, had been together for about 6 months now and he couldn't have wished for a more perfect partner. They shared a lot in common: Mary was witty, intelligent, and a keen moviegoer. They both met in their fine arts class and instantly hit it off. Plus, she was incredibly cute (bonus)! Zack was beginning to believe that there was not much else to discover about Mary. She, however, still had one very small detail that she wished to keep a secret.

Mary is an avid gamer. It's one of the Hobbies that she and Zack share. Normally, she plays with her desk chair in the centre of the room and her lounge chair opposite to put her feet up on. However, whenever Zack stays over, he sits in front of her at a 90 degree angle to leave his lap open as a foot-stall.

The start of this evening was no different. Mary loaded up "God of War" to complete a few of the side quests she had yet to finish. Zack took his post on the lounge chair and shifted Mary's legs, providing quips and funny commentary as they both embarked on the various missions.

Zack felt Mary shift her feet. Assuming she is trying to gain a better seating position, he moves slightly to accommodate. Mary grunts and tuts as her character dodges and weaves on screen, even jolting her own body from side to side as she does. Zack, whose vision is still fixed on screen, feels Mary's legs fidget more and more. He moves again... but Mary can't keep still.

Looking down, he sees Mary's legs slowly creep back towards her. Strangely, her sweats weren't going back with them. Odd, he thought, placing his hand back on her leg. What was even odder was that her legs felt smaller. As far as he was aware, she was still active at the gym. Maybe she changed her focus and skipped a leg day or two? The more he held, the smaller they felt. In fact, it seemed to Zack like Mary's legs were GETTING smaller. Zack felt as Mary's heels left his left leg, where they had been comfortably placed, and had slipped onto his right. Looking down, he saw Mary's socked feet poking half way out of her sweats.

He then looked over to Mary, her face laser focused. She seemed to be sinking into her seat! Her head, which was normally right against the chair's head cushion, was now about 2 inches below and still creeping downwards. The shoulders of her hoodie were slowly deflating, her top losing definition. Mary cursed as she missed a counter attack. Her long sleeve had now engulfed her hands as her fingers tired to reach buttons that were slightly too far apart now.

Zack watches on. He is bewildered, speechless, and even slightly aroused. His girlfriend, who was usually taller than average, had just shrunk before his eyes. Judging from her legs, she must have lost about 8 or so inches already.

Mary's feet, now completely engulfed in trouser legs, drifted off of Zack's lap, leaving her shrunken toes to catch onto him. Mary, who was still unaware, rolled up her ludicrous sleeves and leaned in as she finished off the last few enemies with a special attack. She squealed in triumph, looking over at her boyfriend... whose mouth had dropped to the floor.

She looked down at herself, realizing that her worst fear had come true. The secret was out. She blushed.

"Uh... I can explain."

You see, Mary has the uncontrollable ability to shrink. Whilst it wasn't a regular occurrence, she was rather hoping to keep it from Zack out of fear that her condition would drive him away.

However, if anything, Zack discovered that he had a 'thing' for shrinking ladies.
