¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨¤ they tell me: "we are going to shrink ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤
¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨ you." i don't quite like the tone in ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨ their voices, like they are restraining ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤
¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤ themselves. there is a hunger in them ¨¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨ and it wants me to shrink. and what ¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤
¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨ really irks me is that so do i. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¨ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨
¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨ they give me wristbands and anklets, ¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨
¨¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨ made of some strange stone. their ¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨
¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨ surface is swirling, like dark ¤¨¨¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨ thunderstorms trapped in glass, like ¨¨¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨ windows into a smaller world, close to ¨¤¤¨¨¨¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¤ my body so that it can see clearly ¨¨¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¤
¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨ whats in store. ¨¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¤¤
¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¨¨¤
¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤ they give me food: prawn-like bugs that ¨¤¤¨¨¤¨¨¨¨
¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¨ make my tongue curl with satisfaction. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤
¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤ "out of this world", i think, having no ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¤ frame of reference. i eat only two, but ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨ the bugs leave me suspiciously ¨¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤ satisfied. ¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤
¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤ ¤¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤
¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨ they measure my clothes. "you are going ¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¤
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ to become about half as big", they tell ¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨ me, barely controlling themselves with ¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨ anticipation. ¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
