What the Story is About: A strange creature lives in the walls.

Nobody knows exactly what happened in that laboratory so many years ago. Still, it’s not difficult to imagine, given that Kim and Aldo could afford to go nowhere else at the time, and the lab staff, although highly competent did have a tendency towards sloppiness. Had somebody said, “Let me just have one more look around before we close up for the holidays,” that one petri dish would never have been left out on the counter over the weekend.
