Heather's Laboratory My name is Phil Tiny chapter 16 by copier · original author: aypgirl

The tiny boy looked around and saw various machines and equipment. He walked around and tried to get a better idea of what the room was. To his far right he saw a giant chamber about 6 feet high made of glass that appeared to be connected to the wall. There were tables with various other equipment, but Phil was drawn to the chamber. He walked up to it and looked around, wondering what it was. "Phil," he heard behind him. He turned around and saw Heather standing in the room. "What are you doing out of my bra?" the woman demanded. Phil stammered "um, I was just, um, that is, I was scared and thought I would go looking for you." He hoped that he might be appeal to appeal to her sympathetic side.

Heather softened and said "okay, I can understand that, but next time you have to stay where I put you." Phil said "okay," not wanting to anger the woman, and Heather came over to pick him up. "Wait," he said, "what's that?" Heather looked up at the chamber and said "oh, that's a device I've been working on. It can change the molecular nature of objects. So far I've managed to transform objects into other objects. For example, that bra you were in used to be my toothbrush." Phil was intrigued and asked "so it can really turn anything into anything else?" "Well," Heather said, "I haven't really tested out everything, but in theory it should work. But lately I've been testing it out as a size transformer."

Phil nodded, and then the woman's words struck him. "Hold on," he said, "what do you mean by 'size transformer?'" Heather walked over to the machine, put her hand on the glass and said "if my tests are any indication, it can change the size of any object. It can shrink something down to the size of an atom, or it can make it bigger, up to the limits of the machine of course." Phil's jaw dropped and he asked "does it work on humans?" Heather furrowed her brow and said "I suppose it could, I haven't really tested it on any organic matter though. Not really sure what would happen." She bent down to pick up Phil and said "I suppose I could get some rats and test it out, then maybe get some human test subjects."

The little boy realized that this could be the answer to his problem. "Why wait?" he asked as Heather started leaving the room, "test it out on me!" Heather stopped and said "well sweetie, it could be dangerous, we don't know what would happen." Phil shook his head and replied "come on, use me as a test subject, I'm perfect, you can see if it can grow me to, I don't know, 5'7." Heather thought about it and said "well, that would skip a few steps. Are you sure you want to do this?" Phil nodded eagerly and said "more sure than I've been of anything before." Heather stared at the tiny boy and said "okay, if you're willing we can give it a try."

Heather walked over and put Phil into the chamber. She closed the door on him and sealed it shut. "Why'd you do that?" Phil asked. Heather answered "well, the transformation light affects everything it reaches and the glass operates as a barrier. We wouldn't want to change the size of anything outside the machine." Phil accepted her answer and asked "okay, so what now?" Heather picked up a remote control and said "I am going to set the device to change you to 5'7. There's a twenty second delay while the machine powers up, so you have to wait a bit. Once it does, the light will come on and, if we're successful, you will grow." Phil was getting very excited, hoping that he would be normal once and for all.

Heather made a few adjustments to the device and called out "okay Phil, are you ready?" Phil shouted "go ahead." Heather programmed the device and pushed the button. Phil heard the machine power up and he closed his eyes in anticipation. He counted down from 20, waiting for the light that would hopefully solve all his problems. Soon the machine began to glow and suddenly the light filled the chamber it a blinding brightness. Phil couldn't see anything for a full 30 seconds. When the light finally shut down, Phil's eyes adjusted to the change. He looked around and realized that he was now looking through the upper portion of the glass. He looked down and saw that the ground was far away, but he felt his feet touching it.

"IT WORKED!" Phil exclaimed. He began jumping and hit his head on the ceiling of the chamber. Phil rubbed his head but realized that this was the best thing ever. He screamed and jumped and was very excited. He called out "Heather, it worked, I'm normal size!" Heather smiled and said "I'm so happy my machine works." Phil reached to push open the door when he felt the machine powering up again. "What's going on?" he called out. Heather replied "oh, I built in an automatic reset feature, it changes you back to the way you were after 5 seconds." Phil froze and said "what, no, don't do that." He reached to open the door but realized that the chamber had no handle on the inside. He pounded on the glass as the light came back on. Phil screamed in horror as the chamber filled with light once more.

When Phil was able to see again, he found himself on the floor of the chamber, once again standing at a mere 3 inches tall. Heather opened the door and said "good, now we see that everything works." Phil called out "why did you do that reset thing?" Heather smiled as she picked him and said "well, if it didn't work I wanted whatever had happened to reverse itself. The device is still in the testing phase, I wouldn't to do anything permanent." Phil responded "okay, but now that we see that it works, can you put me back in there and make me tall again?" Heather shook her head and replied "honey, I need to analyze the data output from the machine and run some calculations. This takes time. It may be months before I feel it's safe to try the machine out again."

Phil was despondent as Heather took him back to her room. She placed him back on her bra in the corner of the room and said "okay, I'm going to go downstairs to make some lunch. I'll be back in about 10 minutes." She turned around to leave and said "and Phil, this time if you get scared, just wait for me to come back. I don't want you leaving the confines of my bra." The woman left the room and closed the door.

The tiny boy had now experienced being normal height and wanted it back. He decided........
