The Transformation of Melanie

By Jim Koris

A cloud of dust rises under the feet of two white men chased by a horde of wild looking pygmies armed with blow darts.
One of them is PROFESSOR VICTOR MARTIN, medium height, 60’s and the other, his assistant FRED HOFFMAN, taller, skinnier and in his 50’s. Professor Victor carries a black leather pouch under his arm with precious care as he runs. Fred, his assistant runs ahead of him. Meantime the pygmies are closing in to Victor, until one of them manages to shoot a dart in his neck.
Victor screams in pain as he holds his neck.
The other man Fred turns around and looks at him helplessly.

A cloud of dust rises under the feet of two white men chased by a horde of wild looking pygmies armed with blow darts.

One of them is PROFESSOR VICTOR MARTIN, medium height, 60’s and the other, his assistant FRED HOFFMAN, taller, skinnier and in his 50’s.

Victor screams in pain as he holds his neck.

The other man Fred turns around and looks at him helplessly.

Then in anguish screams in German tongue:

VICTORRR? Damn primitives.
