   You stare at the cola can. Nothing happens.
   It's only a can of soda, you tell yourself. The
silence must be getting to you.
   You grab the cola from the six-pack, along with
some chips and a slab of chocolate cake. Why not?
You don't usually have a chance to pig out like
this!
   Then you head for the family room. You flop
down on the couch in front of the TV. No battle
over the remote today!
   Where is everybody, anyway? you wonder
again.
   You flip up the tab on the cola can to open it.
Instantly you hear the fizzy gas escaping.
   PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
   Whoa! The fizzing won't stop! You shove the
can away from you, holding it away from your
body. The can must have been shaken up.
   A fine wet spray shoots out all over you. Then a
cloud of misty white gas begins escaping from the
can. Your eyes widen as the cloud grows bigger
and bigger. It fills the room like a giant mushroom
cloud.
   Your mouth drops open in awe.
   Something else is coming out of the can!
   Something alive!
