The words became little.
They became tiny.
They became itty bitty bo-bliny.
The words were small as an ant, smaller than small, smaller than one or two or all.
The words were not larger.
And they were not huger.
And they were certainly not giant, gigantic, gigantomabular.
The words were miniscule.
They were infinitesimal.
They almost disappeared into the invisible.
