Mr. Wogglebug opened the door in the floor and climbed down the long flight of stairs. At the bottom he found a large wooden door which he knocked on.

​

"Come in," called a low deep voice from behind the door.

​

Mr. Wogglebug opened the door and walked into an elaborate laboratory. He saw shelves with many beakers and flasks and jars lining them. And a table with experiments set up on it. On the walls he could see large electric instruments buzzing and whiring with sparks of lighting flickering on and off from them.

​

He glanced up at the person who had spoken to him from behind the door. He was a tall and muscular man wearing dark clothing. He had a greenish face that was shaped somewhat like a square with thin black hair on top of his equally square shaped head. He smiled warmly at him.

​

"Hello," said Mr. Wogglebug. "Are you Dr. Stein?"

​

"Me? No. I am his son. My name is Frankie," he replied with a little chuckle. "Dr. Stein is back there."

​

Mr. Wogglebug walked toward the back of the laboratory and found a short elderly man with a round head and little greying hair wearing glasses and a lab coat. He was bending over a large slab that was laying against the wall and was making adjustments to things on it.

​

"Hello," Mr. Wogglebug said. "I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. I hope you don't mind, your son Frankie said I could come in."

​

"That sounds like him," replied the doctor in a subtle German accent. He turned around and gazed upon Mr. Wogglebug with profound curiosity. "Why, you look yourself like some great science creation if ever I've seen any," he remarked.

​

"Thank you," said Mr. Wogglebug. "I was in fact created by a scientist and inventor named Professor Knowitall. He is also like a father and a mentor to me. Is that why Frankie refers to you as his father? Because you created him?"

​

"Yes," replied Dr. Stein. "I did, in a manner of speaking. I gave life to him with all you see around you, And I don't mind it because Frankie is so childlike and simple it's to be expected. Plus I kind of love him. He is after all my own magnamopus. What can I do for you, Mr. Wogglebug?"

​

"I was just hoping  you would know of a way for me to leave this place," he replied. "Count Karloff has been very kind. But as of now I think I've seen enough here."

​

It was just then that he noticed a large gilded cage in a corner of the room. Inside of which was a small silvery blue unicorn with tiny black eyes that were cast downward as its head hung low.

​

"I haven't seen that before," Mr. Wogglebug said with curiosity. "How peculiar to see such a creature as that in a place like this. Is it another of your creations?"

​

"No," replied Dr. Stein. "It is a creature which Count Karloff found wondering about the castle grounds. He decided to keep it for a pet and the resident witch also wants it for its magical properties. Right now I am keeping here to decode what makes it so magical. Now if you will come with me I will show you a way out of here."

​

Mr. Wogglebug glanced again at the unicorn as he was led away from it by Dr. Stein. They went to a hidden door in the wall which the doctor opened and inside it there was a large chamber at the center of the room which was shaped like a tube that had been split open in the middle. As they approached it he could see many glowing buttons lining its insides.

​

"Just step right in here," instructed Dr. Stein. "And push one of these buttons of these colors. Red, Blue, or Green. You will be transported to a new location in seconds. Another grand invention of mine if I do say so myself."

​

As Dr. Stein left Mr. Wogglebug pondered which button to push for he didn't know where any of them would lead to.

​

Red button

​

Green button

​

Blue button
