Jimmy always aspired to be a scientist. He enjoyed creating inventions and was currently working on a Shrinking Ray. The Shrinking Ray can shrink anything into minis. Jimmy was working on the project day and night and was starting to lose focus and a sense of reality.
Jimmy woke up and went to school. Before he left, he had to test his experiment one more time as the Science fair was tomorrow. He put his favourite toy in front of the Shrink Ray and turned it on. A big beam of light shot at Jimmy’s toy and it disappeared. He used his microscopic goggles to search for his toy. He spotted the toy and it was smaller than he thought. Jimmy was happy and mad, his Shrink Ray works but his favourite toy was now a casualty of the experiment.
Jimmy picked up the Shrink Ray and walked towards the door. As he arrived at school, he noticed no one was in the lab. He entered the lab but Jimmy slipped and turned on the switch of the Shrink Ray by accident. A big beam of light shot at Jimmy. Jimmy was now on the floor and unconscious. Worse, he was now a Mini.
The next day, Jimmy woke as if it was a normal day, except he was at school on the floor of the science lab. He thought to himself,
“Why is everything so big?”
Jimmy looked to himself and he was naked, Jimmy shrunk but his clothes stayed the same size. Jimmy had to look for something to cover himself. It wasn’t like anybody was gonna see him, but he felt uncomfortable.
Jimmy realised that the science fair is today, but he didn’t know how he was going to win the science fair. He had to figure out how to get back to his normal-sized self.
The Shrink-Ray was too tall for him to reach so he had a lot of climbing to do. He reached the top and turned on the switch. The Shrink-ray wouldn’t turn on, the Shrink-Ray didn’t have enough power. Jimmy needed to get his Shrink-Ray charger from home, but it was going be a long journey. Jimmy had a long way in front of him.
Jimmy had to find something to help him travel back to his house. He then stumbled upon a gang of fire ants, of course, they were bigger than him but Jimmy wasn’t afraid, the fire ants could talk which was surprising to Jimmy.
“Well, well, well, who do we have here,” said a giant fire ant.
“Sorry I didn’t mean to disturb you” Jimmy hastily replied.
“Well, you did, do you know what happens to people who come across the fire ants?” said a bigger fire ant.
“You help them because you guys are nice,” said a kind fire ant.
“No you get pulverised” said the other fire ant.
The Fire ants began to march forward but suddenly a group of black ants came marching through and told them to back off.
“Who are you guys” said Jimmy.
“We are the protectors of the tiny world,” said black ant.
“Could you help get to my house?” asked Jimmy.
“Sure” said the black ant.
Jimmy got on the black ants' back and Jimmy started to guide them to his destination. They finally exit the school and are on their way to Jimmy’s house.
Jimmy’s house was right in front of him, the door was wide open. Suddenly his Mum and Dad drove into the driveway and got out of the car. He tried to get his parents to notice but at his size it was mostly impossible to get their attention.
Jimmy told the ants to get him inside and upstairs to his room. The ants began to get tired, as they reached Jimmy’s front door they got inside and started to climb, the Science Fair was going to begin at 8:30 and the time was currently 7:30. He had one hour to get his charger to school, turn himself back to normal, and show his Shrink-Ray to the whole school.
When they arrived upstairs they headed to Jimmy’s room and started to look for the Shrink-Ray charger. Jimmy and his group of ants finally found it but there was just one problem, the charger was bigger than them.
“Don’t worry, Jimmy we can get this charger to school in no time,” said Black ant.
The black ant began to whistle and then the ground started to rumble. He saw something in the distance and it were more ants. There were a lot of ants helping out. They took it out of the house, on the road, and they were finally going to get back to school and turn himself into a regular sized boy.
As they reached the entrance of the school, it looked like the hall was full of people. He wondered how he was going to get inside but then he realised that he was small so he stopped thinking and headed to the hall. They plugged in the charger and two minutes later the Shrink Ray was charged up. They flipped the switch and Jimmy’s body started to grow and grow even more. When he was a regular sized kid again he was so happy but he was also naked in front of the whole school. He put his clothes on, everyone was confused about what just happened, but he told them it was just part of his act to show his Shrink-Ray to school.
Everyone gathered around and he put his little ant friend and turned him into a huge ant. The school were frightened but Jimmy turned him into his normal size. Jimmy then got the 1st place ribbon and in the end he got what he wanted. He left the school that day a normal sized boy with bigger dreams of being a scientist.
Wow Viliami, nice job. Keep it up
