I waggle my feet around as the doctor picks me up and carries me off-stage. From my fixed field of vision, I see that I'm being carried backstage, but I don't know where. To a new show? A dressing room? Storage? Despite my nervousness, I'm actually kind of glad the doctor hasn't restored me to normal.
"H-hey! What are we going? I was having fun being in front of the audience like this."

"I keep all of my vict...er...test subjects...I like to collect things." he laughed as he produced a cage big enough for you and shoved you in locking the door.

"WHAT??"
I look terrified as the doctor locks me in the cage, but all I can to is flex my toes and move my feet a bit. "No, wait, you can't just leave me in here! I can't do anything but wiggle my feet!"

He packs up the cage under his arm and exits into the daylight. This world seemed real, and for some reason the sense of wonder had turned to...fear.

I blink in the sudden light, my feet rubbing against each other. The fun feeling of helplessness evaporates, and now I'm really feeling scared.
"Wh...where are we? Where are you taking me," I ask, fear making my voice quaver.

"Home, little man" he chuckled.

"Home? Who's home?"

"Mine, and now yours, little man" he said. "You did hear that I was a Mad Scientist...right?"

The doctor sets my cage down on a table, and I try to at least pull myself forward with my toes.
"Oh no...I gotta figure out a way out of here..."
As I pull myself slowly towards the bars, I feel something under my feet. I feel around with my feet as best I can, realizing that it's...
"The remote! Oh thank goodness. I don't mind being stuck like this, but I think I should try it on a different show."
With that, I press the channel changer with my toe.

Suddenly the white room re-appeared.
"Look at you" said the old man. "How's the weather down there" he laughed.

I look relieved, and wiggle my toes happily on the cool floor.
"Not bad, actually. Feeling a little better now that I'm away from that mad scientist, and actually happy to see that I'm still just a head and feet; I'm really enjoying being like this."
I can still feel the remote between my feet, though. "Hey, what would happen if I changed the channel again? Would I, like, wind up on a talk show, or a infomercial like this? Or will it be another surprise?"

"Lots of things happen to those who channel surf on this TV, let me tell you" he said with a smile.

"I guess that means I need to change the channel and see," I say with a chuckle as I press the channel changer with my toes.

The white noise fills the screen again, and when it's gone, you see that you are in a room filled with people just like you. Just Heads and Feet.

I look at the crowd of compressed men and women in shock, my toes wiggling in surprise.
"Oh, wow...um, hello everyone! I never thought I'd see so many squished people!"
