Craig looked around in fear at the gigantic world around him. He was still in his bedroom, on his computer desk in fact, but everything was absolutely enormous. 

Not only that, but the teen's body felt strange. Even his vision was oddly fragmented. 

It was only until he awkwardly crawled his way to an overturned metal spoon on the desk that he realized what had happened.

"Oh god... I'm a ...I'm a....fly??!" The tiny horrified highschooler turned around to face Caleb, who was now looming over him like a building. 

Craig tried to yell, but nothing came out.

Caleb was so shocked and worried by the disappearance of his brother that he hadn't even noticed that a random fly had suddenly appeared on the desk.

The ten year old began attempting to access the program, only to find that everything looked completely different than before.

"Boys we're back early!!" the sound of a woman's voice echoed from downstairs.

"S-shoot!..." Caleb began frantically clicking around the page, trying to find a way to get his brother back.

Meanwhile, right under the boy's nose, Craig was screaming in unheard warbles at his looming 'little brother'. 

"CALEB! IT'S FINE!! IT'S ALRIGHT! YOU JUST WAIT A FEW MINUTES! THERE'S A SAFETY PRECAUTION! IT WILL TURN ME BACK AUTOMATICALLY!!!" 

The sound of the woman's footsteps could be heard ascending the stairs. Caleb's was really starting to panic now. He would surely be blamed if his parents came in and found out what had happened.

Having not been told the purpose of the countdown in the upper right corner. Calab could only determine one solution to the situation. 

Craig watched in horror as his brother reached over and started to hold the power button of his PC. 

"WAIT CALEB NO!! DON'T!! I'LL LOSE MY ORIGINAL SCAN INFORMATION!! STOP!!!!" in an act of instinctual desperation, Craig somehow managed to gain control of his wings and began to buzz up to and around his brother's finger. 

"CALEB!! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!! PLEASE DON-!! "

[ZZZzzhuuuuuu] The computer screen went black as the electronic hum of the tower faded into silence. 

"Hey honey, where's your brother?" Caleb's mother suddenly spoke from the doorway.

Quickly spinning the chair around to face her, Caleb attempted to sound as unsuspicious as possible. 

"..uh.. um.. I think he said he was going for a walk or something..." The boy lied. 

"What are those things?." The woman asked about the two strange two devices connected to the computer.

Caleb was caught off guard by the question. The boy suddenly realized he could have just quickly unplugged the devices and hid them. However, it no longer seemed to matter now since his mom hadn't recognized recognized what they were to begin with.

"Oh..um.. they're just um... minecraft accessories that Andrew let me borrow...."

"Oh..alright.. well i'm going to start getting dinner ready." The women mentioned before walking away.

Once he was sure she was heading downstairs, the Caleb let out a sigh of relief and slumped backwards into the swivel chair. 

"Phew...that was close..." The boy smiled guiltily as he crossed his arms behind his head. 

Meanwhile on the desk behind him, a tiny unassuming fly was planted motionless on the desk just at the foot of the computer tower.

Despite the fly's seemingly emotionless exterior, what existed beyond it's dark convex eyes was a sea of dread.
