The lab was buzzing with humming of the electron microscopes.
Slides containing dabs of E. coli culture were being ravished by an even more aggressive organism, undocumented to date. As the slides continued to slide in and out of the mounts, day slowly became night as did the number of lab technicians in the laboratory.
Finally, the only person that remained, was the university professor chairing the experiment.
Dr. Williams, the young virologist who's very livelihood depended on the success of determing the function of this organism, grew tired and sat down. His eyes wandered down his arm and saw the hands of his watch strike ten. It was in that instant that Lindsay Van Leu, his sophomore virology student, strolled into his office. Calmly she asked in a sweet tone, "Dr. Williams, am I interrupting?" Want more, just ask. |
