Smaller Still

Michelle took out her phone and played with it for a while as if searching for something. James could only look up at her hoping this distraction might lead to laying off for a while. A full day of this would be demeaning beyond belief, not to mention how some of her behaviour and the complete power she held over him was frightening. Even without the curse at his current size and strength there was little James could do to stop Michelle from tormenting him, but he was aware she could make things even more unbalanced if she wanted to.

"Tell me honestly little one, what are the terms of your curse. How much power do I have over you and for how long?"

"You have complete power over me for twenty four hours" James admitted. Although he was relieved there was a limit on it that still felt a long time from where he was standing.

"Yeah, that's what I thought but I'm looking at the wording here and it technically says you have to obey any command I give you within those twenty four hours"

"That's what I just said wasn't it?" James answered, confused.

"Don't you dare question me!" Michelle threatened James, raising her hand which caused James to stake a step back in fear. That made her giggle with delight "What it means is that if I, within those 24 hours, order you to remain totally obedient to me for a week you have to do it, right?"

"I guess" James admitted, his heart sinking.

"Then I order you to be completely obedient to me as you are now for a week!" Michelle grinned. James nodded feeling instinctively that the curse had made it so "Oh, this is so much fun! I might end up keeping you for a month! How do you like the sound of that? Answer me honestly!"

"I don't like the sound of it at all" James had to admit.

"Good" Michelle smirked "Then I order you to remain completely obedient to me for a whole month!"

"I will do" James nodded with resignation.

"Now, we might have to think of some practicalities for our arrangement. I share this place with three roommates and they cannot find out about you. This might be a good size for you for now, but there may be some times you need to get even smaller. Let's try it out. I want you to get even smaller for me!"

James heart started beating faster as he began to shrink again, down another foot or so. He was not much more than half of Michelle's size now and she was starting to look as scary as she was hot.

"You can do better than that! Shrink some more and don't stop until I say so!"
