Micro May Day 26: Medical Mobile Home
This story's prompt was: Nano and micro with a doctor. A patient with shrinking problem goes to see his doctor.
Sitting on the tiny exam table, I can't help but notice how big everything still is. People started shrinking seemingly at random for a random amount of time. It was called a shrinking virus, and there is no known cure or treatment for it. I went to find the smallest doctor I could find that was also one of the top of the field. I held out hope that he could do something before I shrank away. The door opens, and the doctor walks in. A chubby beaver man known to be very friendly and warm. He towers over me like everyone else, but he can't be taller than a few inches...
"Oh, there you are." He takes a closer look at the table with me on it. "You seem to have lost some more size since we last met."
"Yeah." I let out as I felt another shrink spurt come on. Sometimes they were worse than others. Thankfully, it was only a little bit this time.
"Well, sadly, I don't have any news on that front. Are you still feeling alright?"
"I guess, other than being worried about how long this is going on."
"You seem to be one of the rare cases; most people finally stabilize on a size. We are doing everything in our power to help, but progress is slow. I wish I could give you something more."
"It's alright, I under-" Suddenly a jolt goes through my body again as I shrink more. "It's happening again!" I stand up, shocked as my view starts to get lower.
"Hold on! I'll-"
It was too late, as I shrank very fast and very small. When it stops, I look up and see something fill my view. It takes me a moment to realize that it was the pads of his feet, almost like a whole world on to themselves! It starts to move, and I fall as I watch it come closer to me. Looking for any sign of me, but unaware of the fact he was going to step on me.
I can see every flaw and detail of the toe that was about to hit me. It presses down and can just barely touch me. I grab on, not seeing any other choices and hold on for dear life. I don't think he would ever find me at this size, and I prepare for this being my new life as he walks away, trying to get help to find the new mite on his body.
