Suspended in midair, a tiny borrower dangles helplessly from a fishing hook lodged in a shelf edge. Tight thread binds his torso and arms, leaving him vulnerable in the vast, open kitchen. Light brown hair sticks to his brow as he struggles against the constriction, mouse ears twitching in panic. He is only three inches tall, a speck of life in a human-sized world. As footsteps echo nearby, his heart hammers against his ribs. He squeezes his eyes shut, trembling violently, terrified of the giant human now entering his space.
