SHRINKING UNDER PRESSURE

Description: You’re shrinking, inch by inch. your voice has thinned to a quiet whisper. at first the changes were subtle, but over the past few hours you’ve dwindled to nearly half your height. hiding it from your girlfriend is no longer possible—yet she shows no surprise. you’ve been shrinking because you just can’t live up to her high standards. each cutting remark she delivers, every item she reads from her list of disappointments and your short comings, shrinks another measure of your stature. before her eyes you dwindle away, and by tomorrow you’ll be nothing more than a fleck of dust under her feet.
