Penny’s mouth dropped open as the room came into focus. I could see the confusion on her face. She gripped the front of her long housedress.

Chris, Kelly, and Carlos stepped aside as Penny moved into the room.

She blinked several times. Then she pointed to my dresser mirror. “Is that mirror broken?”

Bim paid no attention to her. He let out a roar and charged across the room. He butted his head through the other bedroom window.

The window shattered with a clatter of glass. Shards flew everywhere. I could hear big pieces sliding down the side of the house and crashing to the ground.

Penny raised her fists in the air. “Stop it! Stop it, you fool!” she screamed in a hoarse, high voice. “Stop it — you crazy fool!”

I held my breath as Bim stopped. He turned around. He studied Penny, his eyes moving up and down.

“You stupid idiot!” Penny shrieked, waving her fists. “Look what you’ve done to this room! Are you crazy? You total idiot!”

Bim took a step back. His antennae wilted on top of his head. He appeared to deflate. His shoulders hunched.

“Look. It’s making him small again,” Carlos said. “Keep it up. It’s working.”

“He goes by his feelings,” I said. “So maybe insults make him feel small and helpless.”

“Bim — you’re stupid and ugly!” Chris shouted.

Bim opened his mouth in a soft cry. His head lowered.

“You’re a total jerk!” I screamed. “A geekfaced jerk!”

“And you smell bad!” Kelly joined in.

Bim shrunk some more, like a balloon losing its air.

“Your skin feels disgusting and gross!” I shouted. “You stink and you grunt like a pig!”

Bim appeared to fold in on himself, like an accordion closing. He shrunk some more. His whole body started to quiver.

“My feelings are small,” he said in a tiny, babyish voice. “You make Bim feel small.”

He clasped his hands in front of him. He kept his head lowered as he shrunk back to his normal size.

“Keep it up!” Kelly said. “Keep it up!”

“You’re the ugliest beast I’ve ever seen!” Carlos shouted.

“And your breath stinks!” Chris added.

“You’re stupid and you smell like puke, and everybody hates you!” Kelly chimed in.

“You’re just a dumb-dumb dummy!” Chris shouted.

Bim let out a weak cry. Then he rolled himself up into a tiny ball on the carpet.

My heart was thudding in my chest. But I was starting to feel a little less frightened. We were winning — and Bim was losing.

I stared at the little orange ball so still on the floor. “Good-bye, Bim,” I said. “And good riddance!”

“Good-bye, Bim,” Chris, Carlos, and Kelly echoed.

“My feelings are small.” Bim’s voice came out tiny and weak from somewhere inside his balled-up body.

“My feelings are sad and small,” he squeaked. “And when Bim’s feelings are small, you know what happens?”

All four of us stared down at him without saying a word.

Was he going to disappear? Vanish into thin air?

“When Bim’s feelings small, it makes Bim not happy,” he squeaked. But then his voice suddenly grew deeper, stronger. “It makes Bim’s feeling VERY NOT HAPPY!” he roared.
