Laying back Eric noticed for the first time that their was a mobile hanging from the ceiling, slowly circling. Colorful plastic stars and animals hung from strings spiraling over his head. What on earth was that doing there in a dental office? Eric heard footsteps on the tiled floor as someone in women’s shoes entered the room. But hadn’t Christie had sneakers on. To his shock it was not Christie, but Dr. Tyler standing over him in a short skirt and her white lab-coat, her hair tied in a tight bun. She smiled down at him.
“What are you doing here?” he asked.
“I have great news for you Eric. We’re starting the human research trial. Your research will move forward, isn’t that great?”
