Cutting Class Part 4

Ms. Newton was getting smaller.

She pawed and clutched at her loose attire - which was quickly becoming more and more unwieldy. The panicking woman needed to be as far away from Aubrey as possible! At least, that was what her racing mind concluded. A part of her brain kept insisting that people couldn't shrink! And yet here she was...

The teacher understood as well that they were in a part of the school that had no classes happening at the moment, so her sounds of panic weren't being heard as they echoed in the hall. If she had confronted Aubrey anywhere else, then help surely wouldn't have been far away...

Unfortunately for the teacher, things such as door knobs were getting far away too...

"Ms. Newton..." Aubrey's voice drilled into the mind of the older woman. "You can stop running now. Your steps are getting shorter, you get that right?" Her voice was condescending and matter-of-fact.

Aubrey had wanted to shrink Katelyn the bully, but the bossy Ms. Newton was an acceptable runner-up prize.

What did the teacher think she was going to achieve by running? It wasn't like she had a growth ray back in the staff office or anything. That said, what was Aubrey going to do once she caught her dwindled prize? The younger girl was intelligent, but impulsive, as the shrinking, fleeing woman before her demonstrated.

"Watch your step, miss! That hem is looking pretty long!" The genius girl couldn't help but be amused as she strode after the woman, the teacher looked ridiculous in her clothes now!

As Ms. Newton fled, it was with horror she realized Aubrey was right. She was still shrinking, which mean that even as she fled down the hall, the end of it was simultaneously getting closer and further away at the same time.
