"It is often a matter of debate, ...human nature... A fragment of the ever expandable universe. Between blankets of space and time, who's to say what is to exist at a certain time, in a specific space. Or in the same space at a different time? The same time but in a different space? Human nature, then, can often be interpreted as a maleable construct of influence. Actions and changes that took place at different times in different places. But for us humans, that's all abstract existential talk. Down on earth, we regard these concepts with simple 'what if' 's. So what if. What if a different pair of hands shaped the nature of the beholder of the beast? Not a dog....but a rat."
