The heat was full of moisture as rainforests always were.  It had been two hundred years at least since  “It” crashed through the canapé from the skies, ending up in a cave.<br/><br/>The living there was humble and sparse only able to dine on bats, snakes, and the occasional pig.

In the forest nothing of any intellectual abilities seemed to exist to the creature’s mind. Yes this creature was a highly developed life form with  expectations,  aspirations, and even companionship needs.<br/><br/><strong>Near the cave</strong>.<br/><br/>Professor Andrew Price was just coming out of his tent. The downpour had stopped and it was time for he, and his students to get back into the forest. He had brought four of his more promising students to Brazil’s rainforest on a project to cataloging the plant life. It is his hope that a study if unknown plants would reveal an specialized plant to save lives or cure certain cancers. If it happens to workout that way perhaps the encroachments of foresting could be stopped, at least in this part of Brazil.<br/><br/>“Ok guys let’s get out and busy. We have only four hours of daylight left today,” he called to the tents.<br/><br/>
