The story begins

The Mad Scientist glares across the open expanse of the lagoon. “They don't understand me,” he mutters, “they never will!” His eyes wildly flicker from side to side surveying the traffic, the apartments, the passerbys; all of whom are potential enemies of his natural order. Suddenly he spots a sign. While reading it his scowl turns into a frightening grin. “Hum,” he ponders, “large shark-like fish the size of men live here, eh? Just imagine what I could do with them. Unleash them on to an unsuspecting world and show them who is the true genius!” He breaks into evil laugh and shouts, “Mine! All will be mine!” But then he reads more. “What!,” he exclaims in dismay, “no teeth! How can they serve my purposes?” A furrow of thought creases his forehead. He then smiles once again and thinks to himself, “Ah yes, the lab. We must go to the lab.” And, he vows, they won't call his creature the Paddlefish but rather the SKillianFish.

Story continued in part 2.
