“Why don’t you shrink the car in the garage, then?” Derek insisted, wanting to see the shrink ray in action.
Steve was tentative at first, having already reduced about fifty cars today. But this time it was different. This time, he had an audience he was aware of. “Yeah I guess I can do that,” he said and started to walk towards the garage with Derek following him. “Just don’t tell your mother.” Derek laughed at his remark.
Derek and Steve entered their garage. To their surprise the overhead light was already on. “Well here goes nothing,” Steve said with a giant grin on his face. He aimed his shrink ray at the SUV sitting there in the garage and pulled the trigger.
Instantly, the luxury vehicle dwindled down in size. When the shrinking stopped, the families SUV now was just 1/8 inch long, the same as the other cars Steve shrunk.
“Holy crap,” Derek said in amazement, eyes widened. Steve smiled, watching proudly as his son walked over and plucked up the tiny vehicle.
Derek just held the tiny car in the palm of his hand, with it shaking in excitement ever so slightly. “Dad, this is awesome,” he said.
It made Steve feel great that he could share this moment with his son. With Derek’s interest mainly on sports rather than science, they rarely had moments like this. “Cmon son, lets put it with the others,” Steve said as he shut off the light in the garage.

What Steve and Derek failed to realize was that there was a reason the garage light was on. Unbeknownst to them, someone they knew had just entered the garage and SUV seconds before. Unfortunately for them, they were now near microscopic on the car currently in Derek’s hand.
