21. Chapter 21

They had been running experiments for quite some time now. However, it seemed their breakthrough was nowhere near.

"Experiment number 24599" said one of them. The other put some yellow liquid into a vat of boiling green looking liquid. However, there was no visible reaults after they had been conbined. 24600 had mostly similar results. However, 24601 had finaly given the results they thought they had wanted. Now it was only time to test the concoction.

"Now, you don't have to test this with know the risk that can come with this." "I know, but that's why i want to be a test subject with you. I want some excitment from working with you."

The one in the lab coat took the first drink. But nothing seemed to happen. Despite this, the other man other drank the remaining half. "Damn, I had hoped there would be some sort of breakthrough!" "Well, We can always try again." "I don't know, I'm not really feeling up to it right now. How about you go home, get some rest? We can meet back up on monday.

They had both gone their seperate ways. On saturday, he felt... hot. He took his temperature, and it was much higher than normal. But he didn't feel anything else wrong. He did some of his normal morning routine. But once he got to the bathroom, that's when he finally saw it. His whole body was on fire, but he didn't feel like he was getting burnt. He tried dousing water on himself, that didn't work. He tried rolling around to put out the fire, that didn't work. He tried cutting off air, but he needed to get out to breath before any of the flames even remotely began to die down.

He rushed to the lab, but did not see the other guy there. He then tried to go to the scientist's house. When he got there, it seemed as though somebody could have bombed the place. He went in, looking for the other man. He saw him, upstairs. "Sir, I think that last experiment had horrible results." When the other man turned around, he got frightened. The first man temporarily lost conciousness. When he came to, the room looked even worse than what it did when he first saw the other man.

"What happened?" "Seeing you in that way frightened me.I can definitely say that you weren't the only one to have had adverse reactions to the potion." "So what do we do now sir?" "I'm going to try to fix us. But until then, It seems you're going to be stuck with a flame face for a while."
