Now I realize Halloween is months away...but doesn't hurt to plan ahead.\nThe story involves Ms. Cotton and some new characters, Maple and Cider. And a short cameo by Howard the tentacle house monster.\nRight now the story is still in the works, I'm going to work out the naughty bits later. But right now I thought it'd be better to get this out there and update it as the rest comes to me. I think i'll try a series out of this...but i'm not sure?","content":"It's Alive!...I think?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The storm was perfect this night.\u0026nbsp; The skies were dark and alive with power.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The lightning rod was ready once again, atop the highest tower of Hill Castle.\u0026nbsp; The wires and copper cables weaved like veins down its inner shaft into the labrotory of Doctor Cotton.\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton is a polar bear, she was five feet eleven with long blue hair and emerald green eyes.\u0026nbsp; She lived with her lab assistant Maple, a rat, who worked along side her at teh University.\u0026nbsp; They lived in Hill Castle, experimenting new ideas and inventions to help the masses.\u0026nbsp; But tonight, they were working on her life's work.\u0026nbsp; Cotton was ready for that powerful bolt of lightning.\u0026nbsp; The raw energy of nature would course into the monstrous creation lay at the table, dead and covered in sheets.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The Crack of thunder roared over the tower as the lighting rod was struck by another powerful bolt.\u0026nbsp; Cotton turned to her assistant, Maple who prepped the machines for one last chance at success.\u0026nbsp; They tried countless experiments before, all were failures.\u0026nbsp; Horrindous to their standards of he experiment to create the perfect life form.\u0026nbsp; This was the eighth attempt.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

She ran over to the table and watched as the power surged into the creature.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Life!\"\u0026nbsp; She roared to the heavens with all her beastial might, \"Give my creation, Life!\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

Exhausted, Doctor Cotton lay her head atop it's chest and sighed.\u0026nbsp; \"Another flop.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; A moan, \"What are you moaning for Maple?\u0026nbsp; I'm the one who did all the work!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Maple knew that wasn't true.\u0026nbsp; She did twice the work the Doctor did.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Uh...Doc...that wasn't me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Cotton turned her ear to the body, there was a faint beat.\u0026nbsp; It grew stronger every second.\u0026nbsp; She stood up right as the creation sat up from the table.\u0026nbsp; The cloth that covered it's face fell and revealed her creation.\u0026nbsp; It was a man of slender build.\u0026nbsp; Soft fur and dark set eyes.\u0026nbsp; He was an elk born, his antlers were cut short for the experiment.\u0026nbsp; His forehead bore the stitches of the brain augmentation performed on him.\u0026nbsp; From his neck, two metal bolts were drilled into the base of his brow.\u0026nbsp; He opened his eyes and found himself alive.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's alive.\"\u0026nbsp; She whispered.\u0026nbsp; The realization soon became clear.\u0026nbsp; \"It's alive!\"\u0026nbsp; She said a length to the heavens.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Her lab assistant cleared her throat, getting her attention.\u0026nbsp; Maple was examining the creation more thoroughly under the tarp.\u0026nbsp; She called Cotton over to examine her findings.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Like the previous experiments, they were of a perfect mind and almost perfect body.\u0026nbsp; When Doctor Cotton examined her Assistance findings, she knew just what to do.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Gawd damn it!\" she cursed.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Yup, 'fraid so.\u0026nbsp; No size change.\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Why is it so hard to get the wood right?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The elk examined himself under the tarp, \"It looks fine to me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Shaddup!\" ordered Cotton.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What should we do with him?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Throw it in the reject pile with the rest of em.\"\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton pointed to the deep well in the lab, placed at the foot of the table.\u0026nbsp; From the mouth echoed the voices of previous failed experiments, wailing from the dark depths. \u0026nbsp;\n\nJust as he was born into the world, he was quickly discarded.\u0026nbsp; The table tilted down to the mouth and the elk creation fell through the well, down into the unknown.\u0026nbsp; He landed hard on his backside.\u0026nbsp; His tarp was no longer with him and he was exposed to the cold chill of the pit.\u0026nbsp; He looked up and saw the length of the pit.\u0026nbsp; The walls were slick and wide.\u0026nbsp; As he sighed in sorrow, he was greeted by another failed creation.\u0026nbsp; It was the same build and height and bore the same scars and bolts in his skull.\u0026nbsp; Like the elk, he came from the village below Hill Castle; this creature was a rabbit of a light tan fur, in his hands was a burning torch.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Hi!\u0026nbsp; Welcome to the pit!\"\u0026nbsp; He greeted the new arrival, showing him the mass harem of rejects left in the pit.\u0026nbsp; Creations that were failures of the Doctors experiments were now coupled together in a wild orgy of each others company.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAs the Elk watched the arousing display of various male species mating around the pit, he was unaware of the Rabbit sizing him up.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"So\" he asked, placing the torch on the walls of the pit, \"...you wanna join in?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"...yea alright.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Maple looked through the dark depths of the rejection pit, \"I wonder what they do down there all day?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"That's for another story, Maple.\"\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton yelled from her chalk board, erasing the data she developed for the previous experiment.\n\nShe growled, \"So close, I'm so close!\u0026nbsp; But I can't get it right with such inferior specimens!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton turned to her main blue print drawn on a neighboring board.\u0026nbsp; It was covered in formulas and calculations of perfecting the muscle structure of a man and enhancing key features in his physiology.\u0026nbsp; At the center was a drawing, depicting the perfect male creation.\u0026nbsp; It's build was strong, tall and well endowed.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I can just taste it, Maple.\u0026nbsp; The perfect man.\u0026nbsp; He'd be the strongest man on the planet.\u0026nbsp; Smarter than the old badgers at the University.\u0026nbsp; Faster than any athlete.\u0026nbsp; He'd loyal, obedient, clean, well mannered, romantic and one hellova lover.\u0026nbsp; With the power of mother nature, he'd have a limitless well of energy day and night.\u0026nbsp; His\u0026nbsp; hips would be built like a piston, hands like a vice and a shaft...Oooo...just perfect.\"\u0026nbsp; She cueded at the thought.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"As long as he's straight.\"\u0026nbsp; Maple gestured towards the pit, hearing the male orgasms rising from its depths.\u0026nbsp; \"Can't have him going in there...we'd never get him out.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"That's a fact.\u0026nbsp; But where am I going to find the right man to complete my project?\u0026nbsp; We've tried every sexy slob in the village and they all turned out to be a closet case.\u0026nbsp; Where am I going to find him?\u0026nbsp; WHERE?\u0026nbsp; It's not like he'll just fall right out of the sky and land at my doorstep!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; A silence fell between them as Doctor Cotton sulked at the thought.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Maple broke the silence, \"Yeah.\u0026nbsp; You wanna have sex upstairs?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

The door bell rang from below.\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton shot up with delight when she realized what it must be, \"OOH!\u0026nbsp; My package arrived.\"\u0026nbsp; Joyfully, she ran down the spiraling staircase into the massive main hall of her castle.\u0026nbsp; She ran to the massive double doors and greeted her new arrival.\u0026nbsp; It was a lion man who stood a foot taller than her.\u0026nbsp; His khaki uniform was soaking wet from the down poor as he carried the large wooden crate from his delivery truck.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

\"You've been waiting for this big thing for a long time haven't cha?\" he asked as he carried the large crate into the hall.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Oh...you have no IDEA.\" She replied, \"I can't believe how big it is.\u0026nbsp; It's bigger than what they said it would be.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Yeah, most people don't realize how big these things get.\u0026nbsp; Just keep it away from heat, those nuts expand pretty fast.\u0026nbsp; Makes a mess of everything.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

Doctor Cotton ran over towards the fire place in the hall and retrieved the pike from teh wall.\u0026nbsp; As she started to pry the wooden lid, a thought flashed into her mind like a stray arrow.\u0026nbsp; She grew an evil grin across her face.\u0026nbsp; Throwing the pike aside she ran back to the door and waved to the lion just before he started his truck.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;

I'm sorry, but there is just one little thing I could use your help with.\"\u0026nbsp; She leaned back inside the hall and called for Maple with a sweetness.\u0026nbsp; \"My Assistant and I need the help of a big strong man too help us out.\u0026nbsp; Would you be kind enough too help us?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; He was hesitant, \"Uh...I have a few more deliveries to make.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, please.\u0026nbsp; It will only take a second.\"\u0026nbsp; She turned away from the door and brought Maple out for him too see.\u0026nbsp; Her shirt had been torn, revealing her blacked colored bra.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"My Assistant here would be _ever_ so greatful.\" She leaned in on Mable, playfully lifting up her skirt too show off her matching panties to the lion.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Shocked he could only respond, \"Okay.\"\n\nThe lion entered the castle.\u0026nbsp; He was drawn to Maple when he entered.\u0026nbsp; Unaware of what Cotton was doing out of sight.\u0026nbsp; He was a good two feet taller than she was, she shivered against his wet uniform when she pressed against him.\u0026nbsp; Maple took hold of the lion's hands, they were large and seemed to almost engulf hers.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What's your name?\" she asked.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Boobs...Bobby Boobs...Bobby Cider...Boobs.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Doctor Cotton came behind him and squeezed his shoulders, digging her claws into his coat.\u0026nbsp; \"Well then Bobby Cyder Boobs.\u0026nbsp; We just need you too do something for us.\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What do you need?\"\u0026nbsp; He asked, with a seductive smile.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; She chuckled, \"To pass out.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Before he could figure out what she meant, he felt a strong bash against his head and the world went dark as he passed out.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Maple stood over him as Howard, the Castle's resident tentacle monster, loomed behind them holding a tiny hammer in one of his tendrils.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Thank you Howard.\"\u0026nbsp; Cotton complemented her guardian.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Maple glared at the Doctor as she covered herself up with what remained of her lab coat.\u0026nbsp; \"You owe me a new shirt, Doc.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 'Later, sweaty.\u0026nbsp; Right now...get the lab ready.\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
