Semi-Series: Uneven Head Shrink

[vid]

(I've mentioned before, but I enjoy uneven size change, particularity shrinking heads. Whenever I come across a pic I like, I see if I can collage it. During one session, I came up with an idea to tie pretty much all my pics together into a loose series. I probably won't do this regularly, so don't ask [and I won't do requests since I can't guarantee I can actually pull it off]. That said, I'm making a thread to start a story and will post pics when I feel like it. Hope you enjoy!)


The latest report from the world of tech:

"Fringe," the new cellphone that debuted two years ago was looking to become the hottest gadget on the market. But a defect that produces a low frequency sound wave was recently discovered that is causing serious health problems. Several men who used the device are developing hearing problems. For women, it's much worse and far more bizarre: their heads physically shrink to roughly the size of a tennis ball. Aside from the obvious cosmetic concerns and a higher pitched voice, victims have been reported to suffer extreme dizziness and increased sensitivity to exposure from heat or cold.

Resulting lawsuits have bankrupted the company, but for many the damage may be irreversible. We have exclusive interviews from those whose lives have been forever changed by this strange phenomenon.

Tracy Williams is a marketing consultant who was on lunch break when she used her Fringe phone to call a friend. She says she barely noticed the low humming sound but felt something wasn't right.

"I just felt like something was off," she said. "I could feel a slight tingle in my scalp and there was this weird creaking noise. I didn't realize I had to lean closer and closer to the phone."

When Tracey's friend asked why her voice sounded weird, Tracey turned her head and was startled.

"My hand looked enormous! I didn't know what was going on!"

Panicking, she pulled out a compact mirror. The horror of her discovery is still fresh in her mind.

"I...I must've been screaming for 5 minutes straight."

Life has been difficult for Tracey at home and at work.

"Eating is hard. I have to cut things really small or I might choke. I've been doing what I can at work, but no one really takes you seriously when you sound like a chipmunk."

Tracey was able to settle out of court for over $2 million.
