“Mum!”
She told me it would be dangerous to use my power lightly, but when I saw the insect just standing there in the park, I couldn’t resist shrinking so I could take a ride on the back of the fly. It was exciting, like the best fairground ride, but without the predictability. It was fun watching mum wondering where I was, and getting scared.
“Mum!”
She can’t hear me. My vocal chords are too small, and although she’s frantically looking for me, I’m too tiny to see.
I wish I’d listened when she said I was not experienced enough to reverse the effect without her help.
“Mum! MUM!”
Mum, please come and set me free, before the spider reaches me.

Great challenge to take part in Jane, love your response to the photo, made me smile. I once created a bumbling Mage character who taught magic and one of her lessons was “never do a do until you know the undo”!
