Deep in the mad scientist district another scientist was having a go at making a growth ray. Many others can tired but so far they either did nothing, turned there target into glowing ooze, just blew up stuff, blew up themselves before they could do anything or turned whatever it was pointed at into its weight in bright pink squirrels. Like everybody that was sent to the mad science district he was sure that his thing would work, even though only two of his 529 inventions did anything like he said they would.
His growth ray was quite large, about two meters long. It took a lot of gears and turning of large wheels to move it, is also took a day to charge for each shot. By the time is was charged he'd forgot how he made it.
He looked around for something to test it on. No lab animals were aloud in the mad science district except with the express permission of the governor. They kept getting turned into monsters and they always had to monsterfy another critter to deal with it and it took ages to get the blood out of everything. He found an apple in his pocket, he was given it for lasting a whole week without swapping anybodies limbs for other things.
He set in on a table, took about half an hour to stop the table from wobbling aimed the ray and fires.
A pulse of green energy came out and hit the bright red apple. Nothing seemed to happen. He waited for several minutes and still nothing happened. He keep watching the apple intensely for half an hour and he wasn't sure anything happen but he suspected it was bigger. He would measure it but he traded his measuring tape for a really big magnet. He couldn't ask the other scientist for there's because they were all crazy, so crazy they thought he, Professor 312 was crazy (he figured he must be called 312 because that what the label of his labcoat says).
He then got bored and spent the rest of day working on left handed socks.
A few hours later the bed time alarm went off and he went to the sheep room. The room was filled with sheep, it had a banner hanging from the ceiling saying "there are 3 sheep in this room." His was wrong so he can to correct it and he started counting the sheep. He got to seven before he fell asleep. Then some of the sleep stood up, they were people in disguise. They bundled him off to sleeping pod where he would be tied down to stop him from sleep inventing.
Morning came and after a quick breakfast of Kellogg's brand very boring food, guaranteed not to spark any ideas, he went back to his science room for doing science in. Something had happened to the apple.
