Malcom's Mishap

When the smoke cleared, he just stood there, raised his hand to his ash covered face, and coughed. She looked at him amazed that they both, were still alive.
A few minutes ago; the test on the formula was going well. Then he knocked over a beaker, spilling it into the last batch they had made.
The explosion shook the room, and the animals.
Julia took off her gloves and goggles, then slamed them on the counter.
Do you know what you have done?
Gone! A half years work, ruined just like that.
Malcom you clumsy fool, she yelled.
Your paper work had better be up to date.
If we weren’t so short handed, I’d dismiss you myself.
Clean this mess up, and shut that monkey up!
I’ll be in main office trying to explain why you shouldn’t be fired.
Malcon opened his mouth to speak.
Julia raised her hand, don’t speak, as she walked out the door.
