How the story begins
I don't know why my brain is given direction at random times, perhaps it just grabs the oddest things it hears and makes fantastical stories. Anyways, I was sitting on the ledge of a window at work, smoking, when two men walked by, certainly no older than 25, both maintaining heights of 6 feet or greater-it was hard to tell from my lowly angle- when the thinner of the two, built not much bigger than a distance runner, pointed to his arm and said, "this is the biggest I've ever been." Now some people might laugh, he wasn't that big, and surely he was talking about his muscles, but my mind raced with the idea that he had stumbled upon some secret formula that temporarily increased his height, and perhaps age. So, my theory, is that they were two 12 year olds (immature as males usually are) who were in some temporary transition brought on by chemical transformations caused by some secret scientific discovery that will allow all 12 year olds to appear old enough to enter bars and drink until the people around them are sure that they really are twelve.
