"The Experiment" Part 2

I woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. I went downstairs to find my family eating at the dinner table. "Hi kids!" As soon as they heard this, my daughter and son came running. "Daddy!" The two always loved to see me after a few days at the lab. "Hello, beautiful." I said to my dear wife as she was cooking. "Hon, why were you back so late?" Even though she was my wife, I still couldn't tell her what I was truly doing. "Nothing. Just a mishap at the lab." "You know how the kids miss you, right?" "Yes." "Promise me, next time you'll get back on time."

"Yes ma'am."

After eating breakfast, I went to go do my normal chores. Chop the lumber, feed the cattle, and all that stuff. But something caught my eye. It was...... a Crow... I was confused by this as crows usually don't come to our town. The only time one came was when it was eating something..... but this one wasn't. It's was just....... watching.... like it was looking for something. "Meh, it must've just got lost from it's flock. But it surely is weird...." I just left it alone and went back to doing my chores.

But then, a person came into town. A person i've never seen before. Surprising, as I thought I knew everyone in town. All of a sudden, he started yelling out,"THE PLAGUE IS COMING!!" Again? This is the second time i've heard of this so-called "Plague". "Mister, what in the darn world are you talking about?" "The Plague.... It's coming.... And it's coming soon....." "What are you talking about!?" I was becoming fed up with this nonsense about a plague. "Just know..... nobody is safe...." These were his last words before he collapsed on the ground and died. Apparently, other people noticed too, as I realized I had a crowd behind me. "Who was that guy?" I heard someone say. "A Plague?! All of our livestock will die!" Another person exclaimed.

I was still confused by all this nonsense. Why is there a Plague coming? How is this connected to the remains I was sent? I was truly flabbergasted at this point. There was only one thing I knew. Something was going to happen, and it's gonna happen soon.
