81st Avenue

The residents of 81^st avenue were, in lack of a better word, befuddled on the morning of August 24^th. It was only around 5 when the sirens first roared to life, and although most were already up, they had only just begun to prepare their morning routine.

One by one the skeptical folk opened their doors and windows to see what was going on, and upon learning the truth contorted their faces in horror.

For there, where some knew the Harrison's lived, was a line of 3 tactical SWAT vans. And slowly, those vans released people, men and women who wore the SWAT badge and covered themselves in ballistic armor.

But something wasn't right, for Lars Mikelsen, who lived directly across from the Harrison's, knew that the Harrison household consisted of an elderly couple and occasionally a 6 year old grandson. So, he questioned to himself, why were they there?

The answer came to him in the form of three body bags.

To the others, the bags came to a more simple yet all the same horrifying conclusion. Once the bags were safely carried out from the house by a group of men in hazmat suits, the brute force entered. Then, silence.

By this point the entire street had at least one member of each household out, surveying the house from however far away and keeping quiet. A few had tried to get close to ask what was happening, only to be turned around.

Finally, the door opened.

The subsequent rush was too great for anyone to actually get a good glimpse of what happened, but immediately people were ordered to be evacuated. As people left with what little they could carry, a series of various government vehicles rolled by, consisting of Homeland Security, DEA, CDC, and many more.

Those who remember the disintegration of 81^st avenue, in which many do not, have no idea exactly what passed through that door. There was one who did claim to see it, however; a man named Lars Mikelsen. In a local newspaper interview on the incident some 5 years after it happened, Lars claims he saw only one man come out of the home, covered in a shiny, black sludge.

Mikelsen passed away 7 days later.
