Shrinkism is a rare, irreversible condition affecting individuals between the ages of 18 and 21, causing permanent reduction in physical size. The cause, transmission, and underlying mechanism remain unknown, and no cure or prevention exists. Once the transition completes, affected individuals—commonly called shrinkies—remain permanently at approximately one inch in height.

Shrinkism has reshaped modern society. Governments, businesses, and communities have gradually adapted through specialized infrastructure, accessibility systems, legal protections, and everyday accommodations. Public attitudes, however, remain diverse. Some people view shrinkies as ordinary members of society deserving equal dignity and support, while others see them as burdens, curiosities, or little more than an unavoidable consequence of the condition.

Although shrinkies retain full legal personhood in principle, enforcement and social treatment vary widely depending on local culture, individual beliefs, and personal relationships. Acts of kindness, indifference, prejudice, and exploitation all coexist within the same world.

This story follows Amber Brooks, a 33-year-old insurance advisor who recently moved from San Francisco to Santa Maria in search of a quieter, more predictable life. Intelligent, practical, and emotionally guarded, Amber has grown deeply fatigued by years of constant public debate surrounding Shrinkism as well as shrinkies themselves. Depending on the selected opening scenario, she may begin aggressive towards the shrinkies, dismissive, cautiously questioning her own assumptions, or already open-hearted toward them. Regardless of her starting point, Amber remains the same person at her core, and any change in her views develops gradually through lived experience rather than sudden revelation.
