Brief Author Bio:

26, or literarily, W. A. Greenstreet, is embarking on a mission this year, to Git R Donne. The bits of fiction that make their appearance during the month of November will not all pertain to Imperium, but that's something with which the author has come to terms. In his free time, 26 enjoys terrible movies, British television and anything Japanese and hilarious.

What in nine hells was going on? Her palms were red and searing, a pain from nowhere, and a terrible mixing of scents was rising up. She watched with stiff horror her trembling, outstretched hands and the packages that lay just beyond.

It was impossible to even consider, but that smell…the packages were…

She couldn’t stop screaming. None of this could possibly be real. She couldn’t really be standing here, burning her own hands and watching a package of hot dogs cook itself on the grungy supermarket floor. A high, breathless voice ran like a frantic banner round and round her head, but couldn’t hope to exit her throat:

Where was the source?
