The Heap wanders back to the site where he first became the Heap. Just then lightning strikes that vat of experimental nerve gas which covers the Heap. He now finds that the double mutation has cured him. Jim Roberts is ecstatic until he learns that he is only human during the day and changes at night. Not only that, but due to the mutation he now appears more humanoid in his Heap form. While stowing away on a ship to flee civilization, the ship gets attacked by a giant squid. The Heap fights and kills the monster and then washes up on an island.
