“I want to give it a go.” Lisa says to her father. His face grows with excitement.
“That’s great! Are you sure? It could be dangerous. It’s untested.” Lisa places a hand gently on his shoulder.
“Dad, I’m not going to miss out on being the world’s first shrunken woman. Plus it helps your research! It’s also just plain cool!” Steve hugs his daughter tight. A tear forms in his eye.
“I’m so proud of you darling!!” Steve stands and heads to a metal locker. He opens it and takes out a headset, lab coat, and safety goggles. He hands them to Lisa. “You’ll need these. Health and safety etcetera.” Lisa laughs as she puts the safety goggles on her face and drapes the lab coat around her.
“What’s the headset for?” She asks inquisitively.
“Oh, that’s just so we can communicate! It’d be stupid to not be able to check on you. Something could go wrong!” Lisa’s smirk drops into a look of slight concern. “Which it won’t! I’m sure of it sweetheart.”
20 Minutes Later...
Lisa, all geared up activates the head set, “testing... one, two, three. Can you hear me Dad?” After a couple of moments Steve replies, his excitement is clear in his voice.
“Yes! Hearing you loud and clear Lisa. I just need to make some final adjustments. For the first test run I’m hoping to shrink you to the size of a micro machine. Which is about... 1.5 inches if I’m correct.”
Lisa grips the steering wheel tightly and grits her teeth. “Gee Dad, that’s quite small for a first test.” Lisa responds nervously.
“Well, the way I see it... Go big, umm I’m mean ‘small’ or go home!” After his response he hears Lisa laughing in his headset. Satisfied that he’s calmed her down. He goes to turn some dials and flip switches. “Right Lisa, here’s where the fun begins... Commencing the test in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...” With a final pull of a lever the machinery buzzes and drones loudly around the chamber. Strange flashes of light flood the room. Causing Lisa to close her eyes with a scream! Then...
