Suddenly you were on what looked like a stage full of odd equipment.
"Welcome to Mad Scientists - LIVE!" shouted a host. "First up, Dr. Tinker and his amazing Squash-o-Matic!"
"Thank you, Rick" said a man with wild white hair. "And looks like we have our first volunteer" he said pointing to you.

I look around my new location in amazement. "Who, me?"
As two of the doctor's lovely assistants walk up behind me, I start to look pretty worried.

"Take him to the chamber" he said to them, as they grabbed your arms. The "Chamber" he referred to, was a tall cylinder that was clear.

The assistants lead me to the cylinder, and gently pushed me inside. The tube is a little shorter than me, leaving my head sticking out the top and my socked feet sticking out the bottom.
I wiggle my toes nervously as the assistants lock me into the device. I glance down at their smiling faces, and ask, "Hey, is this thing safe?"

"Should be...but who knows" Laughed the scientist as he threw the switch, and something began to hum.

I feel the machine start to hum, and then a sudden motion as the ends of the cylinder start to move slowly towards each other, causing my head to lower and my wiggling feet to begin to lift off the floor.
"Oooohh...it feels like...I'm getting squeezed in here..."

"That is because...you are, my friend. Trust me, it's a thrilling sensation" he said as you realized soon you would only be head and feet, like you had asked for while sitting in the beanbag chair.

Despite the feeling of helplessness, I start to enjoy the feeling of getting crushed. Inside the cylinder, it feels like my body is actually being squeezed out of existence, but it isn't painful at all. In fact, it feels like a tight hug.
I look back and forth at the smiling assistants posing next to me, and wiggle my socked feet, which are now a foot off the floor. "You're right...it does feel pretty good! I'm just amazed someone would build something like this!"
I can't help but wonder in the back of my head if anyone is actually watching this show as I approach half my original height.

"Look, A Hobbit" laughed one of the girls...
"No, just a squashed man!" said the host. "Isn't it amazing, folks" he said as the supposed audience cheered.

I blush, not aware that that there was an audience. I rub my feet together, the cylinder now only a foot and a half tall and still squeezing.
"It is amazing, doctor! It feels like, well, like my body is being squeezed out of existence! And I gotta say, folks, I don't mind!"

"It feels that way because it IS! Isn't it amazing"

"Mmmm...It's completely amazing," I exclaim with a laugh, my feet curling and wiggling like mad. "But it feels like there's only a few inches left of me! I can't wait to see what happens when this machine is done!"
I squint out to see if there is an audience, or cameras or something, and say, "I hope the audience is enjoying the show!"

The crowd laughs and claps.
Suddenly the humming machine stops, and hisses open. revealing you...just a head and two feet...

My eyes widen as I feel the last of my body vanish, and the tops of my scrunched-up socks touching the bottom of my head. The assistants lift me out of the device and stand me on a table in the middle of the room.
My look of amazement fades into a wide grin as I wiggle and curl my socked toes on the table's surface. "Oh wow! This is incredible! Look at me folks, there's nothing left of me but my head and socked feet!"
My toes continue to wave and tap, since I can't move anything but my feet. I don't even have a neck, so I can't look around. "Doctor, this feels wonderful! You're a genius!"
I smile out to the audience. "I hope you folks like my new look," I say with a wink.

They do, as they clap again...
"Now to take you back to the lab" said the doctor, picking up your head. "Thanks for the show, Dr." said the host as he walked out with you...which was not part of the plan.
