RE: Finish The Story Contest: It Happened at Dawn
Ohhh!!! at first I thought it was going through a forensic discussion between the sheriff and the coroner but making it a military conspiracy was indeed unexpected.
I have this half remembered memory of a city either in Houston or somewhere in the US where the CIA was using the inhabitants of the town in their experiment in neuro toxin. This came out after the declassification of some military records so their is a tinge of truth in your story.
Fascinating but scary.
There are so many instances of the medical community, with the cooperation of government agencies, experimenting on unknowing civilians. There's George Jervis, for example, at Letchworth Village--a sprawling institution that housed the disabled. He used Letchworth as his personal laboratory and conducted experiments on the residents. And then, also at Letchworth, Hilary Koprowski tested a completely unproven polio vaccine. I guess, when I read @calluna's piece, this information was floating around somewhere in my head and, voila...:)
