Once upon a time: An evil plan that was just to be carried out…

‘Muahahahaha, Bacon! Our ultra-mega-super-sticky plan is just to be revealed before the unbelieving eyes of the unaware citizens, completely ignorant of the danger that soon is going to lash them!’ The fearsome supervillain laughed before saying his minion how his “ultra-mega-super-sticky plan” was going to work. When they arrived the fifty third landing.

‘Don’t laugh so much, Mr… It’s bad for your throat.’ Bacon reminded him, panting with evident worry. ‘Remember what your “Evil Dr.” said.’

‘You’re right, Bacon… But it’s soooo evil…’ Complained the supervillain. ‘I just couldn’t resist myself.’

Both of them continued going up that staircase that surrounded the building, until after almost 15 minutes they arrived the rooftop… Quite tired… Honestly, they considered using the lift, but then they concluded that it would be fair more evil going up the 27 floors of the building by foot…

Along the air conditioner exhausts there was an ENORMOUS jerrycan filled with some kind of sticky substance, that was controlled from a panel with barely five buttons and two levers on it; all with big labels to avoid mistakes. The container, at the same time, was connected to a pipe which descended to the ground to join the city’s drinking water public system in the “most intrincated and convoluted, and less orthodox and functionally posible” way… So I think you already know where is all of this going to…

‘Behold the malevolence of my unbeatable wit, Bacon!’ The supervillain showed off, climbing to the controls along his minion. ‘We will free into the drinking water supply, thousands of jerrycans like this one, filled with the stickiest and grossest substance I was able to find at low cost, after a small investigation on internet!’

Bacon touched a fraction of the substance, that was dripping aside the control panel.

‘Snail slime…’ Bacon muttered, just as thrilled as disgusted.

‘That’s right! Muahahahaha! We’ll flood the plumbing system and when any unaware pig open the tap in his house, or try to wash his car, instead of the classic colourless and basic for life fluid, it will come out… SNAIL SLIME! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!’ The supervillain laughed out loud, without thinking on his throat.

‘Let’s begin!’ Said Bacon, glad and cross-eyed.

The supervillain, wiyhout thinking it twice, pressed the great button in middle of the console, absurdly labeled with a big “RELEASE”. As fast as a stockbroker snail, the jerrycan started to empty towards its unfortunate victims, producing a quite weird sound on the process… Something lik a “BLOP BLOP BLUIIIIP”.

‘Hum… This is going to take longer than I expected…’ The supervillain said, half an hour after. ‘However! This is a magnificent day to be evil, Bacon! The sun is nefariously shining! And the profumo of snail slime fill my wicked lungs with a sensation that blends repulsive vigour and vomitive glory together!’

‘Yep… But we better go before the respective authorities come… I like my new bow tie without stripes.’ Bacon answered, going down the staircase still cleaning of the slime he touched.

‘I agree… Hum… Are you hungry? The lunch of victory on the lair is on me!’ Proclamed the supervillain, leaving along his minion the crime scene.

Meanwhile, in the city…

Things didn’t go well at all… A few days later…

Those who were watering their plants, soon realized that this new and gooy liquid didn’t favour their vegetables at all…

I think to those who were washing their cars, after an exhausting and endless morning of washing, there were left a day even longer…

Medics became absolutely confused with the new sterilizing liquid they were washing their hands and instruments out after the complex cirugies they were performing… But I think they didn’t greatly notice either…

Fountains by which once flowed pure and crystaline water, started to fail before that grumous and sticky torrent… And also started to produce weird sounds like: “BLOP BLOP BLUIIIIP”…

Public pools became dirtier that day… But the maintenance guys were used to it though.

But odd thing… The cleaning staff reported that never in their lives they saw a brighter floor, after mopping it with that 'wonderful elixir'… Words of them…

There were also contradictory reactions: While those who were taking a bath, including the supervillain, cryed with disgust; a few hours later they were shouting with joy after tasting the dishes on their favourite restaurants…
