This choice: The Incredible Shrinking Girl • Go Back...Chapter #6The Incredible Shrinking Girl by: BeeJay   "It's called The Incredible Shrinking Girl," Mom said. "You play a high school student who suffers an accident that causes her to begin shrinking. You need to hope that your friends and loved ones can figure out how to reverse the process before you shrink away to nothing."
"Sounds like fun," Amanda replied. "I can't wait to see the effects they'll use to make me look smaller."
"It's a surprise," Mom said with a grin.

Casting went a lot faster than Amanda was used to, but she decided to roll with it. She was also surprised that the movie was being shot in chronological order, and that she couldn't read the whole script in advance. Instead, she got only the pages for the next day's shooting, the night before the cameras rolled. Ah, well. Maybe she could use it as a funny story to tell her castmates on her next project.
Today, she was filming the accident that would trigger the shrinking. Looking at the setup, she asked, "Where's my stunt double?"
"Stunt double?" the director replied. "Why would you want a stunt double?"
"To avoid getting injured or killed, and setting back production?"
"You've got nothing to worry about, kid. We've got this down to a science. There isn't a chance in a million of you being hurt. Even the stuff we're pouring on you is just colored water, so you don't need to worry about any allergic reactions."
Her concerns alleviated, Amanda went to her mark and awaited the director's call.
"Action!"
Amanda followed her scripted actions, walking and talking with her friends, until an old woman fell down in the middle of the street. Running, she got to the woman and helped her up and to the sidewalk.
Then, a car swerved to avoid her, smashing into another vehicle, which hit another, which overturned a tanker truck and sent it skidding toward her. When it came to a halt, the tank burst open, dumping green liquid all over her.
Since she had been told that the liquid was harmless, she didn't worry about being soaked in the stuff, and walked leisurely to her trailer to wash it off. Although she did think it was strange that the liquid made her skin tingle.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
