“Hey, little guy. No need to be scared. I’m not going to hurt you,” Sara said softly as she looked down at the small person in her hand. It was strange feeling something so small move about her hand as knowing that he was more intelligent than your typical animal, bug, or insect that you would hold in your hand made the experience so different. As she knew he was thinking a thousand things at once he looked up at her like she was looking down at him. She had seen the reports online and in the news about people contracting the Smallara virus.
The reports of the people afflicted overseas were unreal. Seeing what could happen to those who were afflicted was something she was thankful never to have to experience. As she had gotten tested with her family, and they had all come back as immune. The only person she knew who had contracted the virus was one of her best friends Gavin. However, she hadn’t held him or gotten to be around him much since it all happened. This was different, though. This was really a tiny person in her hand.
“Wait?” Sara said with a pause as she looked further at the miniature person. The features looked familiar somehow, but she couldn’t place it at first. “Are you body Hottie?” Sara said, unsure of herself because of his new tiny form. “Let me just take a quick peek to find out,” Sara said as she gently pressed her pinky finger against his chest. She lifted his shirt up ever so slightly.
“I’d know those abs anywhere. You are definitely him. I can’t believe it, Body Hottie caught Smallara.” Sara said as she continued to visually inspect his tiny form in her hand. She did so more out of curiosity than out of malice. She hadn’t ever gotten unfettered access to anyone who had contracted the disease before. So, it was a new experience.
“Shhhh, it’s going to be okay. You definitely came to the right house.”

I like that you’re taking the opportunity to streamline and clarify information that had to be retconned in the original telling.
(although I am curious about your choices in the matter)
It seemed the logical approach to as I see things that I can fix to go ahead and make corrections.
Plus the beginning posts were super short as I was working with a different idea that I wanted to to be shorter like a comic but I later went more away from that as it was just to much story to structure that way.
That’s gonna make rereading the story more worthwhile
