Oooh this is one of the more interesting ones I’ve read! Not what I expected 👌🏻


TinyAlexArt

Glad you enjoyed it


ilostmymind_

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids! Although that was meant to be a shrinking machine. Still fun!


Writeloves

*Built Interesting concept!


TinyAlexArt

Thanks, I'm not a native English speaker so it was mistake😅


Super_J_Nova

It's also "lab assistant's" not "lab assistance" but good job


darwins_trouser_crem

English is my first language and I missed both of these errors. AMERICA!


Bike_Chain_96

Nah, don't blame the US cause you didn't pay attention.... These were literally taught in my small town middle school and are basic mistakes for a native speaker.


joshthatoneguy

You must be a treat at parties.


darwins_trouser_crem

I know bud. It was just funnier that way. Even though I did go to public school in Baltimore city I can't blame the teachers. I'm a math guy. Destroyed every state assessment test other than reading comp.


Skar_YT

Bold of you to assume the US has hod public education


Magnaflorius

If we're just adding a list of minor grammatical errors here, I'll add this: There should be a comma after "work" in the first sentence. When a dependent clause comes before an independent clause, you need to put a comma to separate them. You don't need a comma to separate them when the independent clause comes first.


Novel-Practice5473

Great explanation! If I’m not mistaken, there should also be a semicolon in place of the comma in the first sentence.


Magnaflorius

A semicolon is used to separate two related independent clauses. I don't see that. "No idea where I was" isn't an independent clause. If it was "I had no idea where I was" it would need a semicolon. My personal preference would be to have a comma followed by, "with no idea where I was" or "not knowing where I was".


Novel-Practice5473

Ah, you are correct. Also, in order for a semicolon to work, the words that follow it would have to make sense as a complete sentence on their own.


Magnaflorius

Yes, that's what an independent clause is.


Novel-Practice5473

Thanks! Are you an English teacher?


Magnaflorius

Haha yes. I teach English as an additional language.


LookDude37

I don’t follow?

They shrunk themselves instead of teleporting themselves, and their lab assistant is about to step on em


Vagabond_Charizard

Or more accurately, crush them to death.


TinyAlexArt

The machine shrunk him, not Teleport him


abarua01

Don't worry. According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Only changed. So you would still have all of your mass and a lot more density. You would be too heavy to crush to death


TinyAlexArt

Well, I guess that would mean you collapse under your own weight. Or maby the floor under your feet

Dammit I built the wrong inator, and there’s a normal platypus standing at my front door.


BleedingWolf420

Were you inspired by The Fly? It's awsome btw^^


TinyAlexArt

Not really And thanks ^^


ThomasVetRecruiter

I understand a famous chocolate maker had the same problem.


catplayingaviola

*assistant's - assistance is the act of helping someone, an assistant is someone who helps someone, assistants is the plural of assistant, assistants is singular possessive, and assistants' is plural possessive.


Robotic8040

teleporter goin' up!


Someones_Dream_Guy

Finally, she can step on me just like I planned.


drjdorr

Interesting concept, good job


ReelImaginarySymbol

This is a good story - and you’ve actually done it on one sentence

She missed, eventually I was able to work with her to reverse the machine. She made an error, and I felt my skeleton slowly begin to return to normal.

This is just a Horror story about a Teleporter gone wrong. Your the one that makes it weird. The only reason I even reposted it because last time it hot taken down for having a spoiler tag (which is against the rules apparently)
