Next morning
From Create Your Own Story
Next morning, you wander down to find Igor in hopes that he'll help you arrange your departure. You find Doctor Kreuger first. He's back in his stained apron and gloves. He smiles wildly at you as you approach. "Melissa! I was looking for you! I have something for you! I know you'll like it!" Before you can resist, he grabs your arm and drags you with him to his workroom.
"Doctor Kreuger. I really have to be leaving." He doesn't seem to hear you.
"Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."
"Doctor..."
"Close your eyes!"
You give up for now and close your eyes. You hear a door opening. "Okay now, open your eyes!"
You open your eyes, and you freeze. The doctor is standing proudly next to this... thing. It has a face like a monkey, but it stands on four legs, and its tail... it has like seven of them...
It neighs.
You scream.
You scream again, and you run out of the room. Doctor Kreuger follows you.
"What's with the screaming? I made that for you! You like monkeys and you like horses. I listened to you, so I know that!"
You just stare at him.
His ice blue eyes cloud with doubt. "Did I use too many monkeys?"
You know exactly how to respond to that. "You're mad! You're completely mad!"
Doctor Kreuger sighs and rubs his eyes. "Everyone says that. Even Igor thinks I'm crazy. I'm not suprized that you agree, though I had hoped you would see things differently."
"Doctor, Nicholae, I want to leave. I don't want to be here, and I don't want you."
He looks angrily at you. "I tried. I've tried to please you. What more do you want?"
You storm off.
