The professor was a happy man. Who wouldn't be? He had just discovered how to make inanimate objects sentient.

Posturing himself in preparation of the fame that would surely come, he walked over and looked at his prime specimens. Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Gallium, Uranium, and Magnesium

He waved. They didn't wave back. They were too busy exploring the fineties of consciousness. The professor was pleased. He quickly set out for home and a tabloid.

....

The next morning, he came back to the elements huddled over a corner of a room. "What's happened" he asked.

They turned their heads and stared blankly at him.

The professor decided to check the security tape footage to see what had happened. All was quiet for a while, until Potassium suddenly melted, and then blew up. Quite concerning.

Announcing a state of emergency, the professor called for a group meeting, to determine who had done this dirty deed.
