I bent over to open the cupboard, 

there I found a bowl.

I poured everything I needed into the bowl, 

the mix, the water, the vanilla, and the cinnamon.

The mix was a great light brown, no clumps.

The griddle was set.

On went the smooth silky batter.

I waited and waited, watching as if nothing was changing.

I tried scooping the still raw batter at the same time as normal.

I was perplexed. 

I wondered what was taking so long?

I continued to wait and wait. 

Time ticking slowly, and cooking went slower. 

I began to wonder.

Did I set the griddle right?

I had the temperature too low.

I turned it up,

The batter started to transform

When flipped over,

mutated monsters.
