If you look at in in the context of storytelling and drama, this is a really tall order. Look at hollywood movies in general. How many movies can you name where nothing non-consensual happens to the protagonist? It has been done, but I doubt you'll find as much as the 11/74 ratio that ShrinkFan has achieved. Having a short story, with shrinking, yet shrinking is not involved in the central conflict, is a quite tall order.

I agree that surrender to despair is not fun. Shrinking as the call to adventure in the hero's journey is my favorite. I've been in kind of a funk lately, maybe we should try writing.
