The last thing Gwen remembered was being at the Size Matters, Inc company party and a little drunk. Now she was in darkness, standing on shavings of wood with an overwhelming aroma of cedar. As she stumbled around in the darkness, she found some type of furniture, some of it plastic, others metal, but nothing resembling chairs or table and the walls were metal bars thicker than her wrists.
Suddenly, she was bathed in blinding light. As her eyes readjusted, she was horrified to find her looking up at one of the other office girls, Amy, who was now huge, as tall as a ten-story building and Gwen realized she was inside a giant hamster cage. Amy's laughter assailed Gwen's ears. Then Amy reached down and opened the door to the cage and began to reach her hand into the cage. Gwen tried to hide under the hamster wheel, but Amy's index finger and thumb squeezed under it and got home of Gwen's shorts. She slowly pulled Gwen out from under the hamster wheel and lifted her out of the cage. Dangling in the grip of the monstrous sized Amy, Gwen kicked and thrashed, but this only caused Amy to laugh even more.
As Amy lifted the terrified Gwen up to her eye level, she said, "So, you thought you could undermine my promotion by sucking up to Professor Thorton. Well, you forgot my department has access to the Matter Manipulator so I slipped a sedative into your drink last night and after you passed out, I shrunk you and took you home in my purse. Without you around, I'm sure to get the promotion I so deserve. You had better get used to the cage. You'll be in there quite a bit from now on.......but for now.......that new office guy really got me hot and bothered last night, so you're gonna help me relief my frustration. You're just about the right size to be his, shall I say, substitute. "
