Shrunken boyfriend (II)
After much measurement and examination, the doctor pompously announced that Chuck had shrunken to exactly 609 millimeters -practically two feet- and that his weight was now 2818 grams -just above 6 pounds. Otherwise, all was normal with his body, as the shrinking of all parts had occurred at the same rate. Chuck was clearly suffering from a rare -but not unheard of- form of mushroom poisoning but, for the time being, the doctor could do nothing to help him: to synthesize an antidote, it would be necessary to wait several weeks, until a sample of all the mushrooms in the pickle flask were received at the hospital laboratory from the Polynesian island where they were grown. She mentioned, however, that in the meantime Chuck could either shrink a bit more or recover a small part of his height. Nevertheless -she emphasized- Chuck should be mentally prepared to never get back to his full original size, even after taking the antidote. In any case, the hospital could provide psychological support.
Quite sensibly, the doctor advised Lawrie to take care of his boyfriend, helping him to get used to his new everyday life, until the poison antidote could be administered. She explained that, since finding clothes of suitable size might turn out to be difficult, Chuck could safely remain nude or perhaps could cover his private parts with some kind of homemade loincloth. However, it was important that he slept in a closed glass container -a big candy flask, for instance- in order to avoid too much heat loss from his small body. To his embarrassment, the rough manipulation of his muscular physique by the doctor's gigantic hands, and the mention of his manhood and nudity, gave Chuck a raging hard-on by the time he was being enclosed again in his cat's crate. The doctor, however, didn't even seem to notice the erection.
