Those "estaminets" are very hard to figure out.

Seems like the start of a horror movie...just be sure to let us know if the mysterous hazerdous substance has created giant monsters or zombies. Also, if zombies please advise if they are fast walkers or the slow meandering type. This will give us an estaminet on when the first wave will hit.
