,,&,,,&&&, 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. &,,,,&,,,,
