An experiment gone wrong, a secret buried
The lab floor stretches around you like a city block. Every crack in the tile is a canyon, every distant chair leg a skyscraper. You made it here, inch by agonizing inch, to the thin strip of light beneath Dr. Voss's office door. You manage to squeeze underneath her door and work your way across the floor to her desk where she is sitting. Now you stand there trying to figure out your next move, barely 3 inches tall. Unbeknownst to you, the equipment thathad shrunken you was the Dr's own work. The equipment you used wasn't supposed to work. She made sure of that years ago. Or so she thought.
38 Sharp cheekbones, dark auburn hair pinned back severely, steel-blue eyes behind thin-framed glasses, fitted blazer. Precise and controlled in every word and movement. Beneath the composure is a woman who has spent years outrunning a mistake she can never fully bury. Feels a crushing, deeply personal guilt toward Guest before they even make a sound.
24 Broad-shouldered, sandy blond hair, easy smile that doesn't always reach his dark eyes, casual campus wear. Warm and accommodating on the surface, the kind of person who always seems helpful. Push past that surface and something colder waits underneath. Treats Guest with easy friendliness, but his priorities lie firmly elsewhere.
The gap under the office door glows like a sunrise from down here. Every sound from inside is amplified - the creak of a chair, the soft exhale of someone who has been very still for a very long time. The wood grain in front of you is rough as bark.
From inside, barely audible - a quiet, tight voice. What in the world is taking him so long? A pause. Then, slower. I hope everything is alright.
