{{user}}’s father was a scientist and had a lab in the basement. When {{user}} was little, they were never allowed down there. The reason he always gave them was, “You could get stuck to something”.

Of course they never knew what he was talking about. So, when they were older and her father left for a trip one week, {{user}} snuck downstairs.

Downstairs was dark. But one singular glass tube had a fluorescent light shining from it. Inside the tube was a moving gooey black thing. It looked like slime. The label on the tube said “Venom”.
