The Time of the Month

[chesya]

(new series - patchy quality)

Every full moon I have to get out of town. No, silly, I'm not a werewolf. No, it's just as strange though. Whenever a woman is attracted to me during the full moon, she shrinks according to her level of arousal. To make things worse something about the full moon either makes me devilishly handsome or does something to my pheromones because while I have little success with women during the rest of the month, well let's just say that i have to keep away otherwise there'd be plenty of tiny women running around being kept as pets or being stepped on and the like. So every full moon I go to my bolt hole in the woods. While I'd like to make use of this monthly success with women, I can't see what use some poor shrunken living doll is going to be to me.

Anyways, I'm off to my brother's log cabin by the lake up country, when I realise I've forgotten my wallet. I should still have time to go back and get it from my rooms. I get back to find the door open, I gently push it and there's Ennie the landlady's daughter nosing about my stuff. She's gotten the key and come in. She turns round all haughty and the like as if she had every right to be there. I start to have a go at her when, I notice she's getting smaller. the full moon must have started sooner than I'd expected and she must have some hidden thing for me, because in seconds she's shorter than my kitchen table!
