Giant Sunglasses

I scrambled onto the glossy counter in the accessories aisle and found a rotating sunglasses tree. Right on the lowest rung hung a pair of sparkly pink cat-eye shades—nearly as wide as my whole torso! I gripped both plastic rims, leaned back, and hoisted them straight over my face. They immediately slipped down and wedged right across my nose like a giant tinted windshield. Everything in the store suddenly turned a goofy, mysterious purple. I threw both arms up and struck a dramatic pose in front of the little round counter mirror, giggling until the heavy frames tipped forward with a soft clatter against the shelf.
