After three weeks at The Mini-Resort, Karen felt ready to rejoin the full-sized world. She missed her son, Aiden, and her terrible job as a medical receptionist. The air tasted different as she wheeled her bags to the teleporter. “Hello, Ms. Davis. How did you find your stay?”
Ronaldo, the concierge, appeared from the shadows. “Everything was wonderful.”
He pushed a clipboard in front of her. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. Before you go, we need you to sign this form. Please, take a moment to read it. I’ll be here if you have any questions.”
She scanned the page. “This is a liability waiver, isn’t it?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Most of the more technical language flew over her head, but one line caught her eye. “Ronaldo. What do size-related accidents due to teleportation adaptability regulator mistakes mean?”
He sighed. “There’s a minute chance you’ll remain this size when you teleport home.”
“How minute are we talking?”
“You have a better chance of winning the lottery, twice.”
“That small of a chance. Okay. Thanks for clearing that up.”
Karen signed the form and handed it back to him. “Great. Wonderful. Thank you. I hope to see you again.”
Ronaldo disappeared again as she stepped through the teleporter. Colorful prisms of liquid beauty flashed in front, then faded. The ground hardened beneath her. Everything looked a blur. “Aiden! I’m home!”
She thought it odd he didn’t respond. Aiden told her he would wait on the couch for her arrival. Still blind, she pulled her phone from her bra, hit redial, and called him. “Hey, mom.”
Aiden’s voice boomed. “Where are you?”
“On the couch. Where are you?”
As he spoke, she felt his voice echo all around her. “I can’t see, but I think I teleported home.”
His snigger vibrated Karen's body. “I’m looking at the spot you marked on the carpet now, and I can’t see you.”
As his voice echoed again, she realized her unlucky predicament. “Listen close, Aiden. I think I’m here, but not how I want to be.”
“What do you mean?”
His feet boomed as they hit the carpet. “Aiden, be careful. Look closer at the cross I made with tape. I don’t think I grew back.”
Aiden’s body creaked as he stood. “Oh my god. I think you’re right. There’s a wild mini standing beside some tiny luggage. You know what this means, right?”
New fears struck her. If Aiden caught her, he could register her or worse. Karen ate the wild minis she found. As she remembered how nice they tasted, she felt sick. She hadn’t considered them human. Dozens of unlucky people died in her stomach. Aiden’s fingers coiled around her like fat anacondas. Karen dropped her phone. “Aiden. Put me down. I need to call the resort and get some help.”
He sniggered again. “I see your mouth moving, but I can’t hear you. Hell, it doesn’t matter. After I register you and set up your cage, you won’t need to talk ever again.“
Karen screamed as Aiden peeled off her clothing and smiled at the sight. He rushed to his bedroom, sat on his bed, and stroked her naked back as he pondered the fun they’d share.
