THE MOON SHONE GORGEOUSLY THROUGH THE windows, its beams casting a cold navy hue onto anything in its path.
a woman raced through the halls, past dozens of doors and up a flight of stairs. her blonde hair flowed through the air, her bisque colored hand clenched around her phone.
panting she slammed the double doors open, her blue eyes piercing the old man's body. "it worked!" she cheered, calling her throat when she realized just how loud her voice was.
the old man looked up, his attention moving from his forums to her excited red face. he hummed.
"it worked, come." she walked towards him, pulling him from his leather chair and rushing him down to their laboratory. she tries not to rush him too fast, scared his brittle bones would crack under the speed.
once they got to the lab, down in the basement, she opened the containers door. excitedly pointing to the glass tube that glowed like a glowstick.
the man took the warm tube into his hand, tipping it, watching the liquid move like thickened sand. he thought it was too thick to be fully worked, but he would agree it looks the correct color, the correct texture.
he would have to test it to see if it worked, so he opened the top, sniffing the substance. waves of algae, wet grass, and citrus entered his nose.
smells correct too.
suddenly a thump flew into the air, causing the old man to look at the woman, to see if she heard it too. only to see her on the ground, her blonde hair sprawled out on the white marble tiles, her white lab coat draped over her body and half her face.
the man quickly closed the tube, putting it back into the capsule before he crouched down, his hand holding the back of her head. "Pogo!" he called out, listening for the clack of nails to come his way.
it was two hours before the woman woke up. her groggy eyes opening to the blinding white lights.
Pogo limped towards the woman, his knees not working like a humans would, being a monkey and all. he smiled down at her, tapping her knee for her to sit up.
"how're you feeling, dear?"
she huffed, rubbing her head in pain, "what happened?"
"you passed out." he explained, handing her a bottle of water, "have you forgotten to take care of yourself?"
