Over

Not a living soul had entered the domain

of the once famous scientist. No one back then seemed to remember what had happened. The famous scientist was gone from one day to the next. Some said they'd heard a van in the middle of the night driving away, others claimed he was shot or kidnapped because he found the antidote to fight the created virus set free from his lab. Was it quilt that had made him leave and made the people in the wide area guess and gossip? A bad name is usually hard to forget.

As it became clear he was gone and the last colleagues had packed their bags it became silent. The gossip died, and of those still alive no one felt the need to check out the secret lab and find some answers. They knew it was built in a bunker on the other side of the hill close to a dark forest where only the brave ones so far had dared to stay after 4 p.m. in the old days. They decided to let it go and ignore what had happened. Relieved they picked up their lives the danger was gone, everything was back to normal. Forgotten were those who died and abandoned the thoughts of the past.

Is it possible to ignore the past?
Over the water fall started at the spot where aliens landed to save the country. One by one they set foot on the soil and those who had feared to die from a created virus disappeared.
No one dropped dead, not a single body was found on the streets or inside the houses. The entire area changed into a ghost town as if a wind had blown all life away.
Slowly nature took over and covered the once lively world of the forgotten and so she did with the laboratory.
But if there was someone left he or she would notice that at certain times the lights were switched on and even footsteps could be heard. If this was the case this person could conclude that the lab isn't abandoned as thought. Someone was still at work trying to find the antidote for those who no longer existed.
