The guilt had become far too much to bear and despite her best efforts to bury the truth deep down inside she just couldn't any longer. There was only way she could atone in her mind that was to experience what she'd subjected Tommy to.
First things first she wrote a letter detailing her guilt. It explained everything, the incident itself as well as the lengths she went through to keep the truth hidden. Lisa held nothing back and prayed that the recipient could someday forgive her for what she'd done.
With her letter now complete she placed it in an envelope and sealed it shut. She placed it in her room on the nightstand and could feel her fears starting to creep up on her. Lisa was terrified of what was to come but wouldn't chicken out now.
She took a deep breath and fiddled with the setting son the shrink ray before settling on a mere three inches in height. She looked over to her still sleeping cousin and took a seat on the sleeping bag she'd been using. "I'm so, so sorry."
Lisa steeled her resolve, aimed the gun at herself, and squeezed the trigger. She was immediately hit was a cold chill that ran down her spine as the world around her began to expand and made the conscious decision to let go of the gun so it wouldn't shrink with her.
This was her punishment, and, in her mind, she didn't have the right to undo it. Down she went with no way to fix herself without help and when she was finally finished shrinking, her whole room looked like the equivalent of New York city, complete with tall skyscrapers.
"Wow..." Was all Lisa could say as her curious side took over. Even the shrink ray looked like a massive sign that could hang on top of a diner.
She then remembered that this was a punishment and reeled herself back in. She took a seat next to the shrink ray and waited. Whoever awoke first and found the note she'd left would be the one to judge her and decide her fate.
Lisa couldn't help but wonder who that someone would be. Would it be Kenzie, her father, her brother, her mother, her sister, perhaps her aunt would visit and find the letter. Lisa couldn't help but find that to be out there but also fitting.
With a sigh Lisa crossed her legs and folded her arms. All she could do was wait. She was finally doing the right thing, but the consequences would no doubt be dire. She'd dug herself a hole and her only hope to get out was somebody else.
