Doctor Margaret Shearer, MD, gazed at the ten year old girl.

'Are you feeling suicidal? Do you hear voices?', she asked her.

'Yes. They come at night. Midnight. Mom says that I am wicked', Maggie Porter answered.

'It's fine, Maggie. With medication, you shall be better'.

'Will I?'.

'Yes'.

'I saw Barney Traber kill himself. It was last year. He was depressed'.

'Can you remember that?'.

'Yes, he was my cousin. I broke down after that. And I came here', Maggie said. Doctor Shearer nodded.

She knocked on the door.

A nurse arrived.

'Get her a doze of olanzapine'.

'Yes, Doctor'.

She gave the girl the drug, and she went to sleep.

***

The boy was sneezing.

And he fell downward.

'Help him, please'.

His Mom.

Doctor Shearer focused on the darkness of the situation.

'Do you have a fever?', she asked.

'Yes', the boy answered.

'Why is he sick, Doctor?', his Mom asked.

'People are sick all of the time. They don't die until death comes knocking', Doctor Shearer answered.

'But, Jacob is sick'.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJXYtO48RJ

'What's your name....Mrs...'.

'Walsh. Tod is sick'.

'Then he should be in bed'.

'Oh, yes. But he is sick since the Epidemic begun last night'.

'Epidemic'.

'Yes, it's on ZNN'.

'Oh, I see. The cable television station in New York'.

'Yes'.

'When did it begin?'.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMErr4WtL0

'When Hal, my husband, vomited in the bed. The sheets were ruined. And I had to wash it with gloves. And it was icky'.

'Diseased'.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CgsA7ZTFQ

'It's a bloody virus, Doctor. It's messed up'.

And Doctor Shearer nodded, and told Professor Alan B. Moore, MD, about what was happening.

As she knocked on the door, she saw his body slumped on the desk. The computer screen flashed the words: EPIDEMIC IN AMERICA

She raised the alarm bell.

And hell broke loose.
