Micromanaged (Shrink Inc)

“This used to be my office; now it's my prison. There are no bars or barbed wire; no dogs or searchlights, but I am trapped here just as effectively as any inmate in San Quentin or Alcatraz ever was. More so. Those prisoners had a chance for parole or escape. There can be no parole for me. And the only escape is death. Before the accident I was in charge. People listened to what I said. I commanded people's attention and respect. I dressed in designer suits, took long lunches, and enjoyed all the gifts that great wealth and position gave a man. After the accident I'm powerless. Impotent. The world has either forgotten me or thinks that I'm dead. I no longer wear my designer suits. They no longer fit, and Gail doesn't let me wear clothing anymore anyway.” The Stovent Company, nicknamed Shrink Inc in the media, has perfected technology that can shrink a fully grown person to the size of a toy. The official story is that the first human shrinking subject was a man known only as Patient Zero. He had been reduced to the size of a doll before the ink was dry on the legislation making his shrinking legal. But there is more to the story then that. A sordid little tale concerning the very founding of Stovent. The story of a very wealthy and very foolish man who risked his life for science and fame and the money that they could make him. The experiment was a success. From a certain point of view. He walked into the chamber a fully grown man only to make it through to the other side half an inch tall. On that day John Harper left his life of sleeping in, taking long lunches, and hitting on his secretary. Traded that in for a life of a lab rat living in a plastic prison. Slowly devolving from business leader, to pet, to foot slave to his former underling. Stripped of his clothing, his money, his power, and position he must do whatever he can to survive, in the hopes that he will one day be allowed to return to the human life that had been abruptly taken from him.Warning: This erotic science fiction novel is for mature readers only.
