Debbie's stomach made the decision for her: she would go with the Panera bread line, because it had the most morsels-to-be to satiate her hunger. At this point she had only heard anecdotes from her husband that the shrink-ray worked, but had never seen it happen, let alone try it out. She was very excited at the thought of all these people being shrunken down and ending up inside of her tummy.
These people were all human beings, just like she was. Men, women, and children. Some of the men and women were even taller than she was. Her body trembled at the thought of her fellow human beings being shrunken to tiny size and then added as a topping to her chili and salad. Right now these people were just standing around in a line, but soon enough they would be swimming in a bowl of piping hot chili, or scurrying about across vast landscapes of turkey and lettuce, in a vain attempt to avoid being scooped up by a spoon or fork and elevated to the waiting lips of a hungry middle-aged woman.
Steve had shown her the shrink-ray's wide beam setting which hopefully could shrink down the entire line with one burst so the people in the line wouldn't be aware of what was going on and panic before she could shrink them all one by one. She adjusted the beam accordingly and positioned herself at a good distance and angle to be able to target everyone at once.
Debbie's heart pounded in excitement as she pulled the trigger and a beam of light spread out engulfing all 15 people in the Panera Bread line, blinding and disorienting them, but at the same time also causing them to dwindle down to about 2 inches or so. At this size they would make a filling meal in their own right, but Debbie wanted them to become toppings so she would need to shrink them yet again, but this was a perfect height to gather them up and put them inside of her purse.
Fortunately, the 2-inch toppings-to-be were dazed and disoriented from the blast of the shrink-ray and did not make any effort to run away, not that they could get far from her massively long legs anyway. One by one the shrunken people were gathered in Debbie's purse.
As she was doing this, she felt something crunch beneath her pumps along with an audible pop. She lifted up her foot to examine the bottom of her pump, and sure enough there was a mess of blood and gore, along with the body of what seemed to be an elderly woman still twitching slightly. "Yucky!" Debbie said as she crinkled her nose in disgust and wiped the old woman's remains off her shoe with a napkin before discarding it in a wastebasket.
"I wouldn't have wanted to eat her wrinkled and decrepit flesh anyway." Debbie thought, though still disappointed over the loss of one of her toppings-to-be.
A wicked grin crept across Debbie's lips as a perky redhead in her early 20s came out of the back of the Panera Bread to the register with a bewildered look on her face over all the customers who had been there just a moment ago now all being gone. With a burst from the shrink-ray she got her answer as she was soon added to Debbie's purse along with them.
Debbie decided to jump over the counter and then proceeded to shrink down all of the Panera bread employees working in the back and put them in her purse also. She also shrunk down all the food and placed it inside of a pillbox for safe keeping and put that in her purse for later. When she got home she could regrow the food and feed her family without having to cook. She could also use the food to feed her new "friends", if she decided to keep them around rather than turn them into toppings.
With all of this in tow, Debbie made her way back to the table where her bowl of piping hot chili and turkey cobb salad was waiting for her to dig in. Debbie reaches for the 2-inch people in her purse and places a few of them on the tray near her food. Debbie then...
