The Fleshfall on the National Mall
More actions
The Fleshfall on the National Mall was a Rotten Event which occurred after Earth's use of the Gigamagnet against the Combine at the End of the Great META War. When metallic Combine snyths were sucked up to the massive magnet, their flesh was torn off from the speed at which they travelled and thus rained back down on Washington DC Below.
Hence, egregious quantities of soullean and rotten flesh rained down on the citizens of Earth. This rain was particularly concentrated over Washington DC, due to the Gigamagnet's initial launch site. The National Mall was bathed in 3 feet of organic material, with a total volume being nearly equivalent to the flesh content of 15 Billion People. Thankfully, the Washington DC Volunteer Fire Department had 4 hoses and 17 volunteers, and as such were able to disperse with the fleshy loiterances by employing 20-hour work days within the span of 11 months.
