Improved Essays
"Doctor Quixin? It's time for the tests on the beast," Doctor Janine Halle called, looking into the lab, where Quixin's body lay. She stood in shock at the scene, the white creature nowhere to be found. All she saw was Doctor Quixin, some blood, and a test paper that was crumpled into a ball.

It was as if Albie was a child, and was writing his own autobiography!
"Albie, I need you to say something- really quick!" Janine pulled out a big phonograph and presented it to Albie. He stepped back subtly and hissed a bit. Still, he answered, "What would you like me to say?"
