Hyper labs is a story that sets the scene for the next story. It is based on a composite of a romanticized version of my father's laboratory (that I frequently visited as a child) and the bizarre and dilapidated headquarters of the magazine National Review that I once visited as a young illustrator.
My notions of what a laboratory should be was derived mostly from reading Tom Swift novels as a youth. I was always enamored with the possibility of outrageous creativity of scientific labs.
