Some scientists gathered around a table, exclaiming in disappointment and disgust. Chemicals and other items lay strewn around a table. Other scientists were scattered here and there around the lab, and were furiously taking notes or doing other experiments. All of the scientists had one goal, to create a golem type creature, and all of them were failing miserably, except for Scientist #13. Scientist #13 was the smartest, brightest, and most determined of the bunch, but he was the "insane" one as well. Most if not all of the others steered clear of him, and he was only out of the mental hospital for his scientific discoveries. There used to be 20 scientists, but now there were only 19. Because of him.
His table was set far away from others, and the other scientists never knew [and never wanted to know] what happened at his dark little corner, lit by nothing but glowing worms that he created himself. It was dark and damp, and fungus and bacteria thrived in his sanctum.
Suddenly, he laughed maniacally, and held up a small brownish sack full of sand with a slit down the middle in triumph, and for the first time in years, he ventured toward the others. Fearful, the other scientists backed away slowly until they gathered at the end of the room, ready to bolt out the door, and lock it behind them for that matter. They all shivered in fright as he crept closer and closer...
With a creepy smile, Scientist #13 whispered "Boo!" and the other scientists dropped everything and ran. The door shut with a bang as the last one to leave slammed it in a hurry, and nearly catching his lab coat in the door as he did it. Scientist #13 nodded in contentment, happy that he was finally alone. This was his project, and only his.
He ambled back to his corner, checking on the wiggling bacteria filling the little tray. They were creating special fluid, dead, poisonious fluid for his creature. Smiling, he laughed inwardly at the other "stupid" scientists that they didn't realize that a living thing is "alive." Unless it was already dead. But that didn't matter. All that mattered was that he would finally be recognized for something big, something great. Not a cure for this, or a cure for that. He would never be that "mad" scientist ever again. No, he was finding something HUGE.
5 months later
The other scientists still hadn't come back, and Scientist #13 had 5 months worth of work fly by him. His little creature was now ready, and he was stitching the last few stitches on it's little egg shell. His hand quivered with excitement, and in this moment, his needle slipped, producing a drop of blood that fell into the sack right before he closed it shut.
1 week later
The egg had been sitting in the damp corner for a week now, and was finally ready to hatch. With an x-ray screen, an invention made by himself, he scanned the egg and watched as the little creature inside pulsed with life. It was ready to hatch, and they both knew it.
The next day
In his haste and excitement, when Scientist #13 came in the next morning, he forgot to slam shut the door, and it was now open a crack, spilling light into the now dimly lit lab room. He strode confidently toward his corner only to find the egg shell ripped to pieces [*]. Swinging his head wildly around, he searched frantically for his creature, his one of a kind prize possession. Unknown to him, the little monster was watching him from the ceiling, and when it pounced, the scientist didn't even have the chance to make a sound before he hit the floor dead. His blood had given it life and hunger, and now his flesh was going to give him vicious savagery.
After finishing its first meal, it loped toward to door, the only light source since the worms died long ago. Similar smells to his now dead master filled the room, and with a torrent of curiosity, it swung open the door and strode out into the human world.
Dun DUN DUUUUUNNNNNNN...
[Sorry, had to have that.]
[Also sorry for the extremely long story. My imagination got carried away..]
[Another thing: Was it okay that I had the monster already hatch? I hope so, I don't know how to change my story if it's not okay...]
Good luck to everyone!

[*] - Hopefully it'll have claws. If not, oh well, the egg was still "ripped" in my imagination.
