The Ring

Jeff lifted his hand up to his chin. Slowly. Carefully. Afraid of finding... soft skin on a feminine jaw.  The ring she had given him felt heavy now.

She looked at him with a quirky smile. She was waiting for him to say something, probably. But his tongue felt numb in his mouth. It did not feel like his tongue at all. He tried to move it around, but his teeth felt too small, somehow.

He was all too, small. He was looking up at her now.

"Well, what do you think? You like?" She asked eagerly, as if she had given him a present, and now expected his joyous gratitude.

"What...." His brain managed to get his tongue under control. "What. Have. You. Done?"

"Hey! What's the matter, Jeff? I mean, you have always lived the life of a stranger. I thought it was time you lived the life of yourself."

For some peculiar reason he found himself smiling.

"Now, what shall we call you?" Amanda asked. "You look like a Jinny to me!"
