Ultra Death Dealing Shrink Ray

    Two young boys playing in the abandoned house down the street discover a dusty relic under a tarp. The tarp has danger in faded red letters printed all across its surface. The younger of the boys pull the dusty tarp away to reveal a silver monstrosity. All ridges, metal rivets, and wires snake across the surface of the coffin-sized machine. The older boy runs his hand over the machine wiping away dust. There is a sign on one end. The sign reads, Ultra Death Dealing Shrink Ray.
    “What’s an Ultra Death Dealing Shrink Ray?” the younger boy asked.
    “You will find out soon enough,” a voice behind them said.
