"Just dump the damn barrels!" said the man to his unsure companion
"But-"
"Come on!"
"I really think we should get rid of this stuff properly."
"Would you rather drive for another 3 hours? Or would you like to dump this crap and get home quick?
"Yeah...I suppose"
There as a loud splosh as the barrel of "stuff" was plunged into the pond and the truck drove away. It eventually worked its way to the river and downstream; into the sewer system under a certain florist's house. The damaged barrel of "stuff" became lodged in the damaged edge of the system.
It leaked and leaked onto the sides of the sewer attracting a couple of curious rats. One curious female clambered on to barrel; which, already precariously balanced by its rough journey, toppled over. The contents splashed out in a flood across the wall of the sewer; sending the other rats scurrying. The young female, drenched and sopping, shook herself in the puddle, somewhat disorientated. The others returned warily. Before their rodent eyes the young female began to swell and swell, her coat becoming more glossy and full. She grew to a full three times her original size. The other rats fled; she was going to have fun.
The odd liquid seeped through the cracks in the wall; in the water pipes leading to the shop, the water began to fizz slightly.
Evie got up. She was quite thirsty. She went through to her kitchen and poured a glass for herself; drinking it quickly. Tastes a bit weird... Evie returned to bed and fell asleep again quickly.
