Unfair Advantage

“Come on Allyssa…just one game. You have nothing to lose. You win and I’ll be your handyman, cook, maid, everything for at least a month. Heck I’d effectively be your slave.”
Allyssa DeHaan craned her head to look down at Titus. She was 6’ 9”; he was 5’ 3”. She was a sports star… he couldn’t make it onto his neighborhood team. She would destroy him, and he had to know that too. So what’s the trick? Did he just want in her house to steal something? That said, everyone said he was a sweetheart and his love of the game and her former team was clear. Perhaps she would just need to give him a thrill.
”Fine squirt. Name a time and place and I will traunce you. If by some miracle you win, so can count on me to be your servant as long as you like.” She smirked and patted him on the head like a little boy before heading into the elevator. She gave a little wave as the doors shut. As the car began to move, all went dark and felt like she was falling. She screamed as she passed out.

Some unknown amount of time later she awoke to find herself in her old college uniform. Her favorite ball was pressed against her chest. As she got up she saw that she was standing on a piece of wood. There was a cheaply made hoop about a body length away with a hoop at just below breast height. Instead of stands or a fence, in the distance was fuzzy masses that appeared miles away. Then she froze.
Above her was Titus’ smiling face. “Great you’re awake! Ready for the game? Though I don’t know you’ll need this.” Fingers advanced pinching away her ball. It was the size of a large gum ball to him. He looked at it for a second before tucking it unto his shirt pocket. “I think we can agree I won…”
Alyssa was always proud of her height and that she stood head and shoulders above the rest…women and men. It gave her so much power. As his hand encircled her, she realized she was no bigger than one of the dolls she played with as a child. Then as he stroked her cheek, lips and hair, she realized he now saw her as that. She had lost all control, but as the shock wore off, she was ok with it. Just then her eyes felt heavy and she nodded off.

When her eyes opened, she found herself on the floor, Titus cradling her head. He asked his supervisor help to get her in his car to go to the hospital. She agreed and helped him. As they lowered her into the passenger seat, a small object rolled out of Titus’s pocket and bounced in the floor. She reached down and picked it up…it looked like a small basketball…her ball.
As the supervisor left, Titus slipped into the driver’s seat. “What is the meaning of this?” Alyssa challenged holding the ball between her fingers. Titus took it back and smiled. The smile burned in her as she felt her insides collapsing.
“Aww Alyssa don’t worry I will take care of you.” He reached down and picked up her doll sized form. “You will be mine forever now…thanks for that game in the break room. Now you will be my little basketball treasure forever. Maybe I can collect some more of your friends for a game.” Alyssa just screamed. Titus shrugged, kissed her face and tucked her in beside her ball, forever his toy.
