(Oh, and apologies to Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg for this.)
Dr. Schwarzenstein staggered across the lawn, bleeding profusely, as he thought once again that maybe, just maybe, re-creating velociraptors from frog DNA and the contents of fossilized mosquito stomachs had been a bad idea, and that maybe, just maybe, genetically enhancing the raptor for super-intelligence had been a really bad idea.
And then there she was, the Queen Raptor, in front of him. He wasn't going to make it to the jeep. This was it. She bared her fangs, bristled her claws. "Surprise, I'm pregnant!" she said.
"I've created talking raptors?" he thought -- a scientist to the end -- as she leaped toward his abdomen.

Hey, you do good work without a net!
;)
That was a surprise in so many ways. Nice take on a very 'girly' prompt. You made it so much more Sci-fi...as you do!!!
I was really curious to see what you would do with this one! Very good indeed! No mush or moan here, creative stuff!
Wow, she was not happy. Darn scientist.
Yuk! What a picture you have created in these few words. Brilliant!
Fancy having a go at this one? http://bit.ly/q4xJJp
I chuckled - fresh timing too, a little different than a simple closing punchline. An interesting scientific concept even.
Outstanding Job !
I know where to visit to get a great Scifi fix and a good laugh too...BRAVO !!!
BTW, Why did the scientist make talking raptors ? Because he COULD !
See what happens when you mess with things they way they already are and shouldn't be messed with??
Excellent!~Ames
Great way to go, right off the cuff! Very cool!
"Dr. Schwarzenstein"? Heh heh heh.
Did he say, "I'll be back?"
Very funny Sci Fi. I enjoyed it.
After seeing the movies, will they ever learn? :) More meddling with DNA and he learns the hard way. Great slant on the prompt.
I like your free fall here!
It was an amazing flight...and I loved that you let us tag along!
What a fabulous imagination you have!
If it's the overalls let me know! I'm gonna buy some for me!
Well done!
I worked with and without a net in my Part One and Part Two.
Best wishes,
