Learning a Lesson Part 6 (Patreon)

As Maisie crashed through the outer entrance, she felt a tinge of relief as she was finally out of view - and no one else seemed to be around.

The woman took a breath. Still, this mess was far from over. The dwindled woman at least took some solace that her shrinking seemed to have cease. Still, her trust in the scientists was small than she was - so she half expected to turn bug sized with each step.

Putting that thought aside, Maisie stared ahead and took in her surrounds. Whilst the refuge of being relatively out of sight was a relief, that was quickly replaced by a new kind of anxiety. The world around her was... big!

Or rather, she was small. She hadn't fully appreciated her reduced scale outdoors but with a door ahead of her, she suddenly felt smaller than she looked.

Maisie tried to steady her breathing, and took a hold of the door. It was so heavy! She realized she needed two hands to open it... Reluctantly, one of her hands slipped from her side and she pulled on the seemingly very heavy threshold. As it came open, the sight inside was so distracting she barely felt her underwear trickle down her legs.

Oh man. Maisie swallowed nervously, she knew for certain she wasn't even close to five feet anymore.

Part of her didn't want to step inside the enormous hallway. Part of her wanted to run away from the imposing sight, but she knew that wasn't an option.

'Get it together, Maisie! No turning back now...'

Steeling herself, the girl stepped free of her underwear, bent down and lifted them into her hand. Trying to hold them up was becoming too tiresome. Maisie tried not to think about how huge they seemed...

The shrunken woman padded inside, clutching her once daring and fitted dress to her dwindled form. As she had assumed, the halls were clear of students and teachers. She couldn't hear any ruckus in the nearby classrooms too. Despite the insanity of all this, that was some measure of good fortune. The woman's urgency was slowed by the bizarre experience. She hadn't dwindled to the size of a doll, but instead to this awkward height where she wasn't short, or tiny...

Just... small.

It confounded her mind more than she expetcted. The nearby doorknobs seemed so highly placed, the lockers tall and imposing, the sheer scale of the hall itself seemed enormous.

Maisie did her best to dispel her mind of such things and pick up the pace. She needed somewhere she could hide... preferably with a computer perhaps? Maybe if she got internet access she could contact a friend and... ugh. No, the NDA...

Perhaps she could contact the scientists and let them know? She had several emails from them... If Maisie could just get internet access, that might be her best bet...

Her mind bubbled and boiled amidst the quiet stillness of the school hallway.
