Hypothetical Theme:  The engineer and the older professor have been
lovers for years as they performed research for a new source of
energy.  All they suffered was heartbreak.  Then comes the final
tragedy:  the professor has contracted a terminal disease.  Not
wanting his lover to die a broken man, the engineer fabricates a
fantastic fairy tale that appears to be a final success to all those
years of research.  The media beats a path to the door and the
professor dies believing in their success.  The engineer dies a few
years later in prison when his experiment of lye and assorted metals
explodes when he flushes it down the toilet in frustration.

The End
