Well, Sarah's a bit of a hypocrite, too. Maybe not intentionally, or even consciously. But, a hypocrite, none-the-less. Because, she promises to take care of him. And, yet she plays with him like a terrible two-year old with a new toy!*
That, plus her undeniably VISIBLE effort to remember to call him by his given name when shrunken (just as frequently as she calls him "Bobby" when he's normal-sized), give him good reason to be somewhat exasperated with Sarah.
*And, we all know how not-long toys last with those kinds of kids. :-(

This was a very enjoyable chapter.
You had some pretty good descriptions in this addition. Bobby's perspective from the window sil and his dealing with the chilling winds in the grass were particularly well done. Not only do they paint a nice picture, but they put the reader through Bobby's dilemma as well.
The pool room scene was pretty neat. I liked the way Bobby tried to have faith in Sarah, but couldn't fend off his nervousness. It was also morbidly funny how his silver lining to his grim situation was that he could cling to the side of the pocket and possibly avoid being squashed by a giant billiard ball. It gave Sarah a reason to call him out on his hypocrisy, too.
Man, cell phones sure are nice to have when you're tiny.

You raise a good point, there, dude.
If Jen--a natural extrovert--feels overwhelmed when in a shrunken state, it's got to be twice as bad for an introvert like Bobby!
