Transformation
It was a normal Tuesday for Ted Williams, on his way to his job at 6:30 in the morning. He has no wife or children and his parents have recently passed away. He is in a dead-end job that he hates. He doesn't even know why he continues to work there; maybe it is for the money or sense of responsibility. Either way the job is very degrading. His daily routine is very uniform. He stops at his usual coffee stand for his decaffeinated coffee and jelly donut for breakfast. He then makes his way to the 16th subway station and waits for the 7:00 subway. As he stands there eating his donut he notices something very peculiar about the station. Through his eyes it appears to be bigger than usual. Maybe it is just the early morning and lack of sleep affecting his judgment but it is bothering him. The subway arrives on time and he boards. As he is sitting on the seats he watches rats along the subway scurry off the track and into the little cracks into the wall. He wonders what it is like to be that small. As the rats distract him he spills his coffee on the sleeve of his shirt. As he wipes the coffee off his sleeve he notices that his sleeves are bigger than they use to be. He ponders it for a minute
As he was walking to Joe's corner office he noticed something weird happening. As he thrashes about he can here the hate filled comments from the drivers of the cars such as "Get out of the way you waste of space!" and "You're such a loser!" He glances at the selfish people and continues to clean up. With his eyes closed and arms in the air he landed on the tracks with a hard thud. As he was scurrying along the sidewalk he quickly thought of where he could go. "I'm sorry Ted but you are fired, now get out of here before I call security," said Joe. As he saw the bright light coming he said to himself, I had a chance to be someone but I failed. He looks at his watch and realizes that if he doesn't hurry he will be late for work. This really hurt him because it was at this point in time that he finally realized that he was worth nothing and a waste, a waste of time, space, and effort. I was nobody and made nothing of myself. As he arrives at work his boss at the front door greets him. His clothes were starting to cover his hands and feet. He had shrunk and was continuing to do so. The note said that he needed the plans for the amusement park A. He stood and waited for the next subway to come barreling down the tracks.
