"Indeed? But it was a complicated problem."
"That is true. Wait while we examine your work."
The next few moments seemed as long as the whole exam time had.
Suddenly a gasp burst from the loudspeaker. "What is this? There is no creature such as this on any of the original worlds assigned to you. Explain please."
Jeremy tuned in on the thought and sight wave of the Instructor. Before him was a creature that he could not remember creating.
"You remember this creature, Student Hovah?"
"No, Instructor."
"But it must be yours. The entire facsimile is tuned to your wavelength. We have checked. Only you could have brought it into being; only you can destroy it. You know it is against the rules to increase the number of species in Creation. Destroy it!"
Jeremy looked at the creature so comfortably asleep against a tree and he felt pity and compassion and love for it.
"I cannot, Instructor. I do not know how it got there, unless it is a product of my dreams. Once I forgot to shut off the power while I slept."
