Once we finished eating and sleeping. We go straight to the top of the mountain. Instead of cool meteorite like we hope it would be, turned out there is a big capsule sitting in the middle of the crater. The capsule is leaking a green slimey thing.

  "I think that was caused the water to turn green."

  "No shit Sherlock."

  "Closed your jaw and help me move it inside our cave."

  "What, why?"

  "I think that green substance is the one that caused our mutation, therefore-"

  "Power."

  "Yeah right, just help me carried it inside, you're the one with the muscle."

  Once we put the capsule beside the now-green-spring I told Joel to test drinking out the gooey substance that was leaking from the capsule in which he refused me.

  "Why me? It was your idea to bring it inside."

  "Well, you are the one with the better physique compare to me and don't you want to increase your superpower?"

  "Fuck no, let me find a rat for you to test it on"

  *sigh*"Y-y-yo-you are right, I think there something messing with my brain, to think that I would risk my only friend for my curiosity"

  "Nah that's okay, there's nothing messing with your head you are already a little crazy from before. Remember that one time you lock yourself in a closet for days without food just to trying to understand what makes people claustrophobic?"

  "Yeah, until this day I still don't understand what about a small room that makes people scared"

  "That I don't know, human psychology is different on every person so you mustn't think about it too deep."

  After saying that he leaves me alone inside the cave while he goes out searching for a rat or something. Now that I have the time alone to think, I began pondering about my request earlier, maybe I am crazy and just don't know it. Only 15 minutes or so has passed since our conversation but to me, it feels like days because my mind unconsciously activated my brain power. Joel comeback with a bunch of rats and put them in a barrel and then I walk to him and say.

  "Joel, I'm sorry for even suggesting that you should risk yo-"

  "Ssst, It's okay man, it's not even a big deal anyway let just stop thinking about that and start your experiment. Like you say I do want to increase my superpower so let's get this started"

  I just do as he says and start the experiment, I just hope it works as I expected it to be. I scoop a bottle of gooey green thing that perfectly fine to touch with my bare skin and put them on top of a table. Before I realize it I stop thinking about my inconsiderate attitude.

  "Can you please be so kind as to bring me the patient number one"

  I feel like an evil scientist trying to conduct an evil experiment, well from the point of view of the rats I am an evil scientist doing an evil experiment. Joel bring me the poor creature, he must be a tough one seeing he only had one-eyed and can survive this wretched world. I name him Jack The one-eyed rat before I force feed the green slime straight to his mouth. At first, there's no change at all on the rat so I put him in a glass Jar and put him aside as I continue on his other friend.

  I check on all of them everytime I wake up in the morning every day. We continue our boring live inside the cave with the occasionally going out to hunt, I start to helping about in our hunting by building a simple trap so I don't feel useless like Joel said. We both agree to remain in the cave until our experiment with the rats is complete.

  It's only been a week before I notice some change on some of the rat, I expected it to change like us for about a month or two but considering the amount of the green slime, concentration in the water and the size of the poor creature it makes sense that they develop faster than us. The first one to show some change are One-eyed Jack, his eyes are reforming from scratch and now One-eyed Jack is no more. The second change to be his total size, he increases from like 32cm to 40-45cm.

  The second one is not showing any change, nor does the fourth and last fifth. It just Jack and Jill. And it looks like Joel is the first one to notice the change in Jill body. I knew this because his shout is like a lion roar plus the echoing in the cave makes it the perfect alarm for anyone living in a cave.

  "Yo! Paul look at Jill"

  "What!"

  "She's cool as fuck"

  "What so cool about it"

  Literally, everything is cool about Jill. She is covered with ice from the tip of her nose to the tail. Even the container is cold. Shes cool as fuck like Joel said.

  "You were right, it does give people superpower or animal for that matter"

  "Now we have two option, either we test the green slime on a different animal or we can say fuck it and just drink it for our self. But remember only 2 to 5 rat survive"

  "Fuck it, let's drink it, we already survive the green water anyway"

  "Well it seems to be a bad idea to consume something we really don't know anything about"

  "But you are wrong, one we did know something about it, it gives people a fricking superpower and two who say gaining superpower a bad idea"

  "Meh. Whats the worst can happen"

  I said before I chug a bottle of the green slime, I can see Joel is doing the same thing on the corner of my vision before it became blurry. And then I passed out.
