"You slime!" you shout at Dr. Eeek.

His eyes are still closed, so he doesn't see you coming. You leap at him with your goo-covered hands. You smear the goo on his chin, mouth, and eyebrows.

"Ha, ha, ha!" Dr. Eeek shouts, tossing his head back and roaring with laughter.

What's so funny? you wonder.

And then it hits you - haven't you been through all of this before?

That's when you see him reach behind his ear - and peel off another mask!

Oh, no, you realize. He may be crazy - but he's also very smart.

Smarter than you.

Now what are you going to do, hotshot?

Never mind - it doesn't matter what you do because Dr. Eeek will always have another mask underneath the first. You can't slime him. You can't escape him. And guess what else?

Your twenty seconds are up!

Say "Gooo-bye." Because this is...

I strongly disagree with the kid's extrapolation here.

Anyway look for the antidote.

quote:

Your heart hammers wildly in your chest. You've got to find that antidote. Time is running out!

You yank open one lab drawer after another.

"...sixteen, seventeen, eighteen..." Dr. Eeek says. Now he's toying with you, counting more slowly. His eyes are still closed.

None of the drawers contain anything that looks even remotely like an antidote to the goo. And it's taking you so long to open them. Your sticky hands cling to everything you touch.

Then you see it. In the last drawer. A jar of red gooey stuff.

Could it be?

"Twenty!" Dr. Eeek cries, opening his eyes.

You don't wait. You unscrew the lid of the jar, plunge a slimy green hand into the red stuff, and scoop out a handful.

It smells sweet, so you put it in your mouth.

"Ha ha ha!" Dr. Eeek laughs uproariously. "You think you can save your life that way? You're eating strawberry jam!"

Oh, no. He's right.

And guess what? You're allergic to strawberries!

quote:

You break out in hives.

Little bumps pop out all over your body. On your face. Your neck. Your arms. Your hands.

Even your tongue is covered with reddish, swelling bumpy things.

But the hives are nothing compared to the feeling of the green goo. It's sliding into your nose, your mouth, even your eyes. It feels like a million snakes, slinking their way into your air passages. You're going to suffocate any second.

All at once, Sam seems to snap out of a trance he's been in. He springs into action - and runs right at Dr. Eeek.

"Have a taste of your own medicine, doctor," Sam yells. Then he smears some of the green gobby goo on the doctor's face.

"Argghhhhhh!" Dr. Eeek screams in terror.

He bolts out of the room. And from the look on his face, you figure he's heading for the antidote!

quote:

You follow Dr. Eeek as he races down the hall, pulls open another lab door, and hurries in.

Inside, there is an enormous glass box with a hinged door. Dr. Eeek dashes into the chamber and tries to pull the door closed.

"Not so fast!" you shout. You and Sam dash into the box with him.

It's like cramming three sweaty people into a phone booth. Too close for comfort. And you can tell there is very little air inside.

But who cares? The minute Dr. Eeek closes the door, a white gas fills the box - and the goo dissolves!

You were right! It's the antidote box! You're saved!

Except...

"How come this door won't open?" Sam asks. He bangs on the handle.

"Hey - how come the lights just went out?" you cry.

You stare into the total pitch-darkness of the lab.

You're locked in an airtight box with a crazy person!

quote:

The only speck of light anywhere is the glow-in-the-dark face on Dr. Eeek's wristwatch.

In the darkness, you can feel him bend his head to look at it. He groans.

"What?" you ask.

"Nothing," Dr. Eeek says. "It's just that they're right on time."

"Who?" you ask.

"The electric company," Dr. Eeek says. "I'm afraid I haven't paid my electric bill for the past three months. They threatened to turn off the power at 7:00 P.M. if I didn't come up with the cash. I guess they weren't kidding."

Kidding? Nope - they weren't kidding.

And you're not laughing either. Why? Because it takes a big gulp of air to laugh. And you're out of air in...

quote:

"No way!" you shout at Dr. Eeek. "I'm not going to be your guinea pig!"

Then, with the goo growing all over your face, you turn and bolt for the door.

"Come on, Sam! Let's run!" you try to say.

The two of you sprint like world-class athletes, down the hall to the waiting room. And luckily, that big vault door in front is standing slightly ajar. So you zoom into the hall and catch a down elevator.

"Ewwww - yuk!" a teenage girl in the elevator cries when she sees you.

Uh-oh. The green stuff. It's grossing her out.

"I don't know what she's complaining about," Sam says. "I mean, look at her. Her skin is green!"

Yeah, you think to yourself. And so is her hair... and her clothes... and...

Hey, hold on. Everything looks green to you!

Then you catch a glimpse of yourself in a highly polished chrome elevator panel. That's when you realize - the goo has completely covered your head!

quote:

You stare at your image in the chrome panel.

The goo has grown up over your nose, eyes, hair - and all the way down the back of your head. In fact, it covers every inch of the top half of your body.

From the waist up, you're green and sticky-gooey. You look like a creature from a cheap sci-fi film. From the waist down, you look like a regular kid.

Luckily, the goo doesn't choke you. You can breathe through it - and you can see. It just makes everything look green.

When the elevator reaches the next floor, the doors open. And your mom gets on!

"Mom! Hi!" you try to say. Only the sound doesn't come out.

"Aahhhhh!" she screams, spotting you and Sam. "Aliens from outer space!"

And she calls herself a scientist?

Well, bad news. If your own mother thinks you're an alien, what do you think the United States military is going to do when they get a look at you?

That's right. It's time to learn how to say, "Wrxt Rinp" - which is Martian for...

quote:

"Okay, okay!" you scream. "I'll do it! Just get this stuff off me!"

Then you shut your lips tight. The goo has crept up your throat and over your chin. It's almost into your mouth.

You can't tell whether it's the goo making your throat feel tight - or the fear.

All you know is that you can't breathe.

Sam claws at the goo, trying to pull it off his neck. He accidentally hits his nose, and the goo goes in it.

"Hurry!" you scream through your clenched teeth and tight lips.

Then you squeeze your eyes shut. If the goo is going to choke you, you don't want to see it coming.

quote:

All at once, you hear a buzzing sound.

You open your eyes. Dr. Eeek is holding some kind of electronic wand device in his hands. The device is about eight inches long and two inches thick - about the size of a battery-powered screwdriver.

He passes the wand in the air over the goo, without touching it. Immediately the goo begins to fall away from your arms, your hands, your face.

Whew! Close one, you think.

You'd like to yank open the door and run like crazy. But you've still got to wait for Sam.

Dr. Eeek passes the buzzing wand over Sam. Within seconds, the goo is gone for good.

Or rather, it's lying in a puddle on the lab floor.

Dr. Eeek gathers it up in his hands. He molds the goo into a giant sticky wad the size of a basketball.

"How did you do that?" Sam asks. The goo didn't stick to Dr. Eeek's hands!

"Never mind," Dr. Eeek says. "Follow me."

quote:

Dr. Eeek leads you into an adjoining room. Two big black leather chairs with padded headrests stand side by side. The chairs look like airplane cockpit console seats. They sit all alone in the middle of the empty, darkened room, facing a two-way mirror.

Then you notice something. Each chair has a headset on the seat. Like the headgear Sam has with his virtual reality game.

"Have a seat," Dr. Eeek instructs, pointing. He clearly wants you to take the seat on the right. He points Sam to the chair on the left. "And put on the headsets."

You're about to sit down when you notice something else.

Straps. On the arms of the chairs.

It looks as if he's planning to strap you in!

If you sit down and put on the headset, turn to PAGE 35.

If you'd rather get out of there - FAST! - run to PAGE 113.

Without waiting another second, you and Sam bolt for the door. You race back into the lab with the goo. Then out the door and into the hallway.

Now...

Hey, wait a minute. Which way is the waiting room? Left or right?

Can you remember?

You'd better think fast, because Dr. Eeek is on his way!

If you think the waiting room is to the right, go to PAGE 102.

If you turn left, go to PAGE 95.

quote:

"This way!" you shout to Sam. You turn left and run down the long white hallway.

In a minute, you reach a door at the end. You yank it open.

BINGO!

You're back in the waiting room!

"We did it!" Sam yells, slapping you a high five. "Let's get out of here!"

But just as you're about to race to the front door, you freeze. It's that vault door - the one that's six inches thick. Only there's one big problem.

There's no handle on the inside. No doorknob. Nothing. No way to open it.

"Maybe it pushes open," you say. You race across the room and lunge at it. *Ouch!* You ram your shoulder into the door, but it doesn't budge.

"We're trapped," Sam moans. "We're locked in!"

Oh, no, you think. And then you hear footsteps! Someone's coming. Probably Dr. Eeek. What now?

Maybe you'd better hide behind the door - and ambush whoever comes in.

quote:

You quickly roll the receptionist's swivel chair across the room. You plant it behind the door, so you'll be in position to ambush whoever's coming. Then you search around for a weapon.

There must be something you can use to conk the person on the head!

"How about this?" Sam asks, handing you the telephone.

"Hey - good idea!" you say. You hold the phone over your head like a club and wait. You stand on the swivel chair.

The door opens, and Vanessa walks in.

You lunge forward with the phone. You reach out, trying to smack her with it.

But suddenly the swivel chair swivels, then slides.

Whoops... the wheels are rolling... rolling... you're losing your balance... and...

BAM!

The chair rolls out from under you.

You fly forward and hit the floor.

A moment later, everything goes black.

quote:

You wake up in the waiting room. Vanessa is towering over you. And Sam is crouching beside you.

"Are you okay?" Sam asks.

Before you can answer, Vanessa reaches into her lab coat and pulls out a spray can. There's a sign on it in big red letters. It reads:

SLEEPING SPRAY - THE DEADLY DUST OF NIGHTFALL

She points the can in your direction and Pssssss! - she sprays it in your face. Then in Sam's.

Then she starts to sing. "Lullaby... and good night..."

You glance over at Sam. He has slumped to the floor. His eyes are closing. So are yours. But before you fall into a deep, deep sleep, you hear him speak his last words.

"The phone... I meant you should use it to call 911," he says.

Oh, yeah. That would have been a good idea!

Well, maybe next time.

But this time, you're going to lullaby land - and they don't have any phones there. Just a great big sign, with big red letters on it saying...

THE END

I'm not sure if the implication is that we died from Dr. Eeek experimenting on us, a fatal side-effect of the sleeping spray, or shame after realizing Sam came up with a better plan than us.

I think if the phrase "deadly dust of nightfall" is included in the sleeping spray branding, it's safe to assume it's "sleep" in the sense of "put to sleep"/euthanasia. If it were meant only to render someone unconscious it would say "99% safe*!"

*may interact fatally with the following drugs: opioids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, alcohol, quaaludes

Inside a big steel-walled room sits a huge, horrifying creature with long pointy fangs.

Have you ever seen a cross between a gorilla and a vampire bat?

And cross is the right word, too. The "vamporilla" thing is so grouchy, it decides to tear you apart just for the exercise.

quote:

You and Sam sit in the black leather chairs. Dr. Eeek places the headsets on you and straps you both in. The visor-goggles on the headset cover your eyes. Everything is dark.

Then you hear Dr. Eeek's footsteps. He's walking over to a console. He punches keys on a keyboard. All at once, your headset pops to life.

"Amazing!" you cry, staring at the graphics in your visor.

In the headset, you see a virtual reality scene that is so lifelike - it's even better than reality! Even though you are strapped in a chair, it feels as if you are really there.

Where?

Hawaii - or some kind of tropical South Seas island. You see yourself walking along a rocky cliff near a lagoon. Palm trees sway all around. Tropical birds are everywhere. The air is soft and warm. The water is turquoise blue. You wonder what it would be like to jump into that beautiful water - seventy feet below.

Uh-oh. Watch out - your thoughts are controlling this game! In the next instant, you start to fall... fall...

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!" you scream at the top of your lungs.

You are about to smack your head on the rocks below!

quote:

With all your might, you try to throw your body away from the rocks.

It works - but just barely. You almost graze the rocks as you drop directly into the lagoon. You sink for a minute. Then you give a kick and shoot back to the top.

Good thing you can swim!

You climb out of the water and sit on the rocks to dry off. The sun warms you. Pretty soon your clothes are nearly dry.

This is freaky! you think to yourself. If it's just a virtual reality game, why do you actually feel so damp?

Then you hear a rustling sound in the bushes. Before you can jump up, a ten-foot-long Komodo dragon darts out at you!

You scream. You've read enough about Komodo dragons to know how dangerous they are. They're the world's largest living lizards! And they're fast, too. This guy could jump at you, chomp down on your stomach with his jagged teeth, and kill you in a flash.

You can't decide whether to freeze or run.

But you'd better decide something - and fast!

Freeze on PAGE 75.

Or run like crazy to PAGE 86.
