A while back Queenie posted a challenge with just one parameter: the opening line. You can see some of the results in the archive under the title "Cold and Blood."
Here's a new challenge along the same lines. Any length, any characters, any tone your muse desires. The only rule is to start with this line: "You take the keys."
Have at it!

"You take the keys," Lois declared. "You can leap tall typewriters in a single bound. If you type out a note, maybe someone will finally notice that we need another dose of the shrinking antidote. It would have been nice if Bernie had mentioned that we might suffer a relapse."

One question though, did Lois ever get dosed in the first place?
Nope. That's why I prefaced the ficlet with:
