Conflicting Stories

"I'm - I'm sorry, you said you were six feet tall before coming through that doorway?"

"Yes, my love. Almost exactly. Are - are you remembering me now? Because now we can -"

Astrid silenced him with a raised hand and turned to Velus. "Velus - didn't you tell me that coming through that doorway restored you?"

"I did, Princess."

Astrid looked suspiciously from Velus to the small man. How can both stories be true? she wondered.

1. Velus said, "Maybe it's because I entered the door on the opposite side from the way he did."
2. With a snarl, the little man flung himself back through the door.
3. Velus flung himself at Astrid with surprising force, knocking himself, her, the lamp and the little man through the doorway.
4. The doorway shimmered again, discharging yet another tiny visitor.
5. The doorway blinked, then suddenly vanished.
