rat had two horns sticking out of its head and instead of its usual claws, it had talons in their place. And it went without saying that it was just too darn scary at the end of everything.
     
    In the end, what seemed to be the most important thing was the fact that it had gone and come back, meaning that the machine had worked. But that was just one thing solved. Dr. Greene had to figure out just how he was going to set a particular destination as well as a time zone. And on top of that, it also seemed as though he needed to know whatever the heck was going on as far as getting all of these anatomical enhancements were concerned.
     
    It was scary, but Dr. Greene knew that he was on to something. And if history was anything to go by, all the scary findings always made him push a little bit further just to see to it that everything was going to work out rather perfectly in the end. But from the look of things, it did seem as though the latter discovery was much scarier than the usual.
     
    This wasn’t just any other cell trying to eat up another cell or a rush on a test subject that just would go away. No. this was a creature which crossed into another dimension and came back with some features that didn’t make sense at all. And so for a moment or two, it seemed as though the only thing that would have made some sense at the time would have been to wait and see what was going to happen.
     
    In the mean time, Dr. Greene kept on checking the rodent, taking all the precaution in the world since if it decided to attack, there was nothing he could do about it.
     
    It still seemed as though it was dormant and very confident, another very weird characteristic as far as rodents were concerned. Rats were always known to be very timid creatures that wouldn’t just stand there and watch a human go about their business. But this one seemed as though it was very confident that it wasn’t under any form of danger, and that just made Dr. Greene to be a little bit concerned about the place that the rodent had been to.
     
    And for a very long time, it seemed as though that idea had been bothering him for a while now. But at the end of the day, the most important thing seemed to be the fact that his machine worked. And at that moment, Dr. Greene decided that it would be a good idea for him to take a break, let his mind rest for a little while.
     
    The good thing about getting enough rest was that it always made sure that the good doctor always came up with some of the most amazing ideas. And at that moment, he realized that resting was the only thing that he wasn’t very keen enough to be doing and thus it was starting to affect him.
     
    So he decided to close the transparent box right away right before going out to check his refrigerator for some liquor. Once he got in the kitchen and opened his fridge, Dr. Greene just bowed his head and shook it a little. From the look of things, he hadn’t visited his fridge for quite a while, and all of the food had reached expiration date. That was the main problem with being too engrossed in making inventions that would help the world to the point that you couldn’t even think of helping your stomach with some fresh food.
     
    Dr. Greene knew that the world of science was starting to ruin him altogether, but he managed to keep on convincing himself that everything was going to be fine in the end.
     
    But from the look of things, it did seem as though it was just getting worse and worse. And at that point, Dr. Greene just walked towards the living room as slowly as he could and sat down in a heap, trying to figure out where he was going to get some food and later some drink to give himself some energy that he needed to think straight.
    *** 
    At that moment, Dr. Greene decided that it would be a good idea to go out and get some air. And the best place for him to be at the moment would have been none other than Tori’s bar. Over the years, it appeared as though Tori’s bar always gave her
