A speedIF about a mummy in modern life, February 4, 2016

This is a well-put together Speed IF about a mummy waking up in a modern laboratory after centuries of slumber. With your mummified cat friend, you need to pull a Wizard of Oz and get a heart, a brain, a stomach, etc.

The ending has a twist that introduces a very different tone into the piece that some found effective and some found off-putting.

Recommended for Speed-IF fans.
