The school year was over. Finally. As his students left the building, Professor Connors stood and watched them leave. Most of them, he would never see again. He did notice his brightest student. Peter Parker walked out of the building. Connors had a feeling he would hear of Parker again. He was right. He was right in a way he never thought possible.
Connors walked out of his classroom. He walked four doors down. He put in an access code on a keypad and went through the retinal scanners. The computer voice said, "Identity Confirmed- Good Evening Doctor Connors." The door opened and Connors walked in. He looked at a picture of him with his wife. This picture always made him more determined to complete his experiment. The reason… he still had both of his arms. He went to work.
At around midnight, Connors had a breakthrough. He cut the leg off of a mouse. He fed it the serum and the leg grew back. Connors was thrilled.
For years, Connors had been working on the serum. He studied that when certain reptiles lost their tails, they could grow back. That was when Connors first had the idea.
Connors made another dose of the serum. He drank it without hesitation. He heard a crashing noise. It came from the mouse. Connors walked over there. He saw that instead of a mouse, there was now a grotesque creature. It was green and scaly. Connors dropped to his knees. What had he done?
