The Doll's House
Unending BE - episode 20373
Sharon was reduced to six inches high. Apparently, the company had planned for such a
possibility, for a luxourious doll's house was all ready for her. It had all mod cons:
full furnishings, carpets, electricity, even the plumbing worked. However, it had
no roof, so Sharon had no privacy whatsoever. Anyone could watch her at any time.
Though she could dim the house's lights when its clocks told her it was night, she
could not turn them off completely. And they hadn't bothered to provide her with any
clothes. escape was impossible. The house had no doors or windows to leave by, and
although she might have climbed over the wall the whole house was kept within a large
case of transparent perspex.
Often Sharon would look up from whatever she was doing, and see one or more large
faces (as they now appeared to her) looking down at her. She wasn't sure which was
worse: the lack of privacy or the boredom. Sure she had a miniaturised TV, radio and
hi-fi, and even a miniature PC (no Internet access, though, for obvious reasons),
and even a library of minature books, but all that soon began to pall. The only excitement
she got was every couple of days, when someone would open the perspex case, fish out
her miniature refrigerator and replace it with a new fully stocked one.
One day:
- *Sharon realised that she was slowly shrinking further.
- Sharon realised that she was slowly growing.
- *Sharon was told that they were going to use her as a guinea pig for some experimental breast growth hormones, which they would put into her water supply.
- *Sharon decided to try to escape the next time her fridge was replaced.
