"How small can you get?"

"How small can you get? I want to see."

"Wait but-" I blurted before a vine wrapped around my mouth.

"Shhhhh, its okay, I won't hurt you." Sophia said, kissing my entire head.

I suddenly saw the vines around me glow, as they grew thicker and thicker. I began to be able to make out the individual fibers of the vine, until I was no longer binded by Sophia, where I started to plummet, stopping myself by grabbing a thick fiber, as thick as a pipe. The shrinking didn't stop however, as the rope I was hanging on grew too large to wrap my hand around, so I needed to adjust my grip as to not fall. Eventually, the fiber became wide enough to act as a platform, the groove deeper than my body was tall.

Suddenly, the world stopped expanding, and I used this opportunity to look at Sophia, who somehow didn't lose sight on me despite my microscopic stature.

"Woa-" Sophia said, stopping herself as she saw me nearly shake off. Each inhale she took was like I was on a drop tower at an amusement park, the inertia continuously tossing me up and slamming me into the ground.

I saw Sophia move, trying desperately to keep the vine I was suspended on still, as she grabbed what seemed to be a small bowl from my bag. She moved the bowl underneath the vine I was on, and she gestured for me to drop, before quickly realizing why I wasn't. In my perspective, the bowl seemed impossibly distant, like looking down at the earth from space.

Sophia grabbed some of the sheets from the bed and made some make-shit padding on the bowl, before the ground under me began to rotate.

I clung to the walls and ceiling of the groove, until the grade of the slope began far too steep to keep my footing, so I prepared for the drop.

After I let go, I realized that there wasn't nearly as much lethality in the drop as I initially thought. I was so small that I fell like a feather, or perhaps more accurately, a speck of dust. Sophia's exhales were like whirlwinds, causing me to tumble and spin, as well as drift off course of my destination.
