"Paper Thin" by Chelsea G.

I slept comfortably on my bed; suddenly I hear the alarm clock go off. What seemed weird is that it was much louder than usual. I open my eyes and I see everything bigger than me! I think to myself “What’s happening why is everything so big”. I stood up desperately from my bed in search for my mom, that’s when I realized that the distance of my bed and the floor was like a 10 story building. How do I get off? I looked at my blanket and under it there were sheets; I grabbed them and started climbing down once I was low enough I jumped off the bed like in the movies until I finally reached the floor. I was so desperate to get off I just jumped I didn’t pay attention to the height. I ran from my bed to the door what used to be a couple inches now felt like a yard. I got to the door I was small enough that I could crawl under the door ; once I was out of my room I realized I had to go down the stairs to get to the kitchen where I could hear my mom cooking. I felt it was impossible to climb down those stairs I was almost halfway down when I heard footsteps. My brother was on his way down to his room down stairs I tried getting his attention but he didn’t see or hear me. I saw that he was going downstairs so I hopped on his shoe. I was in the kitchen now and I could see what my mom always yelled at me about, the kitchen floor was filthy. Thank god we had Chinese food a week ago there was still peas on the from it. I decided to try to get my mom’s attention by kicking the peas near her so she can see something move and see me. I didn’t get to move the peas because she had already lifted me off the ground and puts me in her purse!!?? I’m in her purse during the car ride (confused, screaming hoping she’ll hear and it’s dark).After spending about an hour in silence, I hear the sound of a zipper opening to find myself blinded by a celestial ray of light. I could only see a peach blob coming at me at full speed and then I felt an asphyxiating pinch. As my vision cleared she carried me through the air and I found myself in someone else’s palm. Soon enough I was once again being dragged across the air, but this time I caught a glimpse of her name tag. Courtney. She then stuffed me in a metallic prison. “cha-ching” I then realized what that sound meant. IM A DOLLAR!?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHH .
