Forever Clean
by ~Cyberleader2000Forever Clean
Medowdale, a Quiet Peaecful village in the Yorkshire dales. The early morning quiet was shattered when the community was woken up by the rumble of several large vans arriving along the main street. Men jumped out and placed a large blue bottle and an envelope on every doorstep. People looked out of the window, and saw what was happening, went down to investigate and take the bottles inside. Forever Clean it said on the bottle the only cleaner you will ever need. Mrs King took the bottle into the kitchen and opened the envelope. Inside was a blue sheet of paper which said, Forever clean is a new type of product, from forever Pharmaceuticals, which will eradicate all germs in the home, not only from surfaces but as the liquid evaporates, it will kill germs in the air. She opened the bottle, it contained a thick blue liquid that smelt faintly of roses. She thought that she might as well try it as it was free. Getting out a cloth she wiped down all the surfaces in the kitchen, at she left the room there was a faint smell of roses in the air. A few days later Mrs King felt unwell, sick with a stomach ache. She had chicken curry from the local Curry House last night. She hoped it wasn't food poising and decided to have only water for the rest of the day. By the evening she felt worse. She decided that if she felt no better in the morning she would go and see the Doctor.
In the morning she went down to the surgery, the waiting room was full. After waiting for ages, she eventually saw the Doctor, he said that, everyone seems to have the same problem and that he had called in the environmental health department. He told the best thing was to go home and get some rest. As she walked home she heard the sirens of ambulances. When she got home she turned on the radio and heard the news that the village was now in quarantined.
The Public Health Laboratory conducted various tests and found that instead of food poising, people had no bacteria in the systems which was causing the problem. They suspected, the new cleaning product, all bottles were collected and destroyed. Forever Pharmaceuticals sealed the liquid into drums and buried them at a secret location. Hill Walkers out for the day, stopped to have a picnic, dropping sandwich crusts and orange peel. Six months later it was still lying there.
