It started one day in July.
At first the scientists claimed it was a virus, eventually admitting they didn't have a clue.
The usual crackpots spewed forth theories and politicians summarily rejected them.
And then of course, everyone admitted everything and things became unbearable. Truth is a piercing arrow.
Tertullian was right about the first reaction being hatred. Within days there weren't four friends left in the whole world.
The killing began quickly, without ceremony, and spread. For some reason, I can but guess, the religious and the advertisers went first.
Those that had no axe to grind with others turned on themselves.
I write this because I must; it is the truth, and it is all I have left now for the dead.
Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end. Perhaps it has set us free.
