Ellen Thrombus slowly walked into the large labratory. There really was no other word for what the room could be. Test tubes and computers filled nearly every surface, notebooks with her reedy scribblings were stacked by the tables and thick books filled with boring research collected dust in the corner. This was her domain. What she did here was a little of this and that.
With a sigh, she tucked a lock of her curly brown hair behind one ear. She was supposed to be working on a theoretical cure for some unnamed disease, but she felt as if her steam were running out. Her work took up so much of her time that she sometimes wondered if it was worth it. Ellen had gotten back from her old roommate's wedding, and that old feeling of not being where she was meant to be in life was creeping back up on her. She wasn't unattractive, she just covered her shapely body with lab coats and buried herself away.
"Dr. Thrombus, there is something you have to see," an intern said, running into the lab. "It came in this morning. We've been told to drop everything and this is top priority!"
"What is it," Ellen asked.
"Come on! I can't explain it! It's just...wow!" The intern ran out of the lab and Ellen shook her head. Taking her time, she followed him to a large, empty lab down the hall. In the middle of the room was a table covered by a clothe. If Ellen was correct, it looked like there was a body under there.
"We just got this in," the director was saying. "This could be the answer to our prayers. We might be able to actually test some of our medicines and not worry about those pesky humanitarian laws."
"For God's sake," Ellen said, "what is it?"
The Director smiled and lifed the sheet. For a second, Ellen stared before she whispered, "Wow."
