I was playing Pandemic II as a boredom killer. set difficulty to realistic, set race to virus, and actually won by dumb luck.

After that I went into the kitchen to celebrate. I placed a glass on the counter…

*Glass shattering*

I look back from my place at the fridge to see my cat on the counter where the glass should have been and a lot of broken glass on the floor… And some odd substance.

I knew I did not put anything in the glass as that was why I was over at the fridge.

I got some of the substance on my finger, to give it a taste.

“Bleh! that tastes disgusting!”

I went to the bathroom to wash it out.

After Increasing my water bill by two hundred percent. I get a call from my doctor on a blood test I had a few days ago.

“Hey Allen. Hows it going down there.”

“Ehh… Nothing much, just some weird substance appeared in my kitchen. Tasted like blood and potato juice now that I think about it.”

“Huh… Blood and potato juice are used to grow bacteria colonies, we might want to take a look at that.”

“So I probably shouldn’t put any in my mouth?”

“Not until we know what it is. I got some friends who are biologist, they may be able to help.”

“Alright… So what are the results of the test.”

“Healthy! You have scored negative for diabetes.”

“Thanks Derick!”

A few minutes later the biologists Derick were talking about came to see this substance. I showed it to them and they started looking at it through a microscope.

“Where did you get this?” Asked one of the biologist.

“I have no idea. The stuff just appeared when my cat knocked over an empty glass.”

“Not all of this glass is a glass cup. these glass shards are of a test tube. And from my understanding of physics. This tube fell like the table it was sitting on disappeared .”

“What does that mean?” I said.

“Either you’re lying and dropped this yourself, or you’re telling the truth. In which case this may be our first possible way to prove whether or not there are parallel universe’s.”

Its at this moment I realized that the biologist were all wearing face masks. which made me notice I was not.

“Can we take some of this for further analysis.”

“Take all of it! I don’t need it.”

When they left with the entire substance, I was relieved.

Too bad this was the easy part.
