The Tide is High

A child of the 80s, Natalie had always wanted to front a synthpop band. Unfortunately for her, she'd been cursed with a booming, operatic tenor voice. Audition after audition, she was passed over for sounding too much like a man. Vocal tutors provided no help either: it seemed that whatever she did, she could never hit the required heights.

So, when she saw an advertisement for a miracle drug that promised to shrink her vocal cords and expand her range, she leapt at the opportunity. Ignoring the label warning about proper dosage, she downed the whole bottle in minutes. An hour later, she tried a vocal exercise and was stunned that she was able to hit notes a fifth above her usual top with ease.

However, she failed to notice that she'd also dropped five inches in height.

Another hour and she was singing an octave higher... and was having trouble keeping her jeans around her waist.

By that night, she was barely able to sing what used to be the highest note of her falsetto. It was only then that she noticed her apartment seemed smaller than usual...

By the time she woke up for her audition the next morning, Natalie had lost more than just the low notes. The good news is that the industry was currently pushing for girls with high-pitched voices!
