Karen Summerset was one of the children who lived in dark falls at the time of the chemistry plant malfunction. Dark falls was a small, tourist community of everyone who knew everyone, it was tight knit. At least, until mysterious men began to show up. A chemistry plant was established, run by men in black suits. At first, they claimed that they were studying a chemical that could power hundreds of cities at a time, and then when the workers began to experience odd burns, they claimed it was to help American soldiers while they were at war. Along with the chemistry plant came noise and smog, the air was thick and visitors to the small, scenic town became slim, until they became none. Jobs were lost because of this, forcing more and more of the people that lived there to work in the chemistry plant to try to keep their families fed. Karen Summerset's father was one of the people working at the plant when it malfunctioned. With so many people working at a plant out of desperation instead of knowledge, it was bound to fail. It was almost like the men in black wanted it to happen. A cloud of noxious gasses was released into the smog over Dark Falls, trapping it above the small town. They thought things were fine, they were assured that everything would be fine... and then.. the burns appeared. Skin started falling from bone, nobody could keep food down, hair was falling out. These people were rotting before they were even dead.
