‘As the time machine roared through blinding space, Professor Yorz Huntz-Briteley’s whisker rattled loose and fell straight into Plummets eye – the key piece of equipment controlling the ship’s destination. Yorz truly gave out a fearful scream like dry piano wires – and was sucked into a mid space mouse hole. The ship finally arrived, decades before, in a parallel universe, where ‘Manchego – the brutal cheese mouse’ had just shot the Professor’s Great great Auntie 12 times. Yorz cursed his birth and remaining whiskers and collapsed into vinegar tears.’
Paws’ publisher felt that it was not clear that the Professor’s path had been altered because of his own whisker falling into the equipment. Paws disagreed strongly but agreed to a rewrite.
