It was like a terrible nightmare. Even now, I sometimes wait from a dream and find myself shaking from the memory of it. I'll never forget when I first saw him. A man so monstrous, so unhuman, that I refused to think it could ever happen again to anyone else.
But who can be sure? Others have had the same idea. Oh, yes, the law forbids it. But laws are broken every day. Who will this happen again to someone else? Someday in the future, perhaps it will happen to many.
I don't want to see it. To hear the story of this strange monster, listen in a moment to 2000 plus, adventures in the world of tomorrow. Comeric stories of science fiction from the years beyond 2000 AD.
An amazing story of science uncontrolled, but giant walks. If I twist your arm monsters, that's it. I'll spare your slimy stomach.
Please direct, Dr. Ted. Always finger at. If you weren't big enough already. If I had my way, I'd kill all you rats. That's what I do. Four feet long can be quite a mess, the little thing.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, Dr. L. Is everything ready well? Yes, sir. Run a maze or rapidly. Check that gold gradient with them. I love them. Point eight. The intelligence can imagine what they could do with their teeth if they had the chance.
It's frightening to think what would happen if we lose this evolution, Barstow. Merely the scientific, elaborate your experiments and success we can tell the world. Your theories will be accepted. You'll regain your rightful place in science.
Not yet, Barstow. Not yet. It will be an ultimate thing, date on the rep. We can build a larger, preferably be interested in that. That's me.
