Men on the streets drop dead, boils covering their forms like so many leeches.
The end times? Punishment for man's sin?
I don't know.
Through it all, he...well, he does something.
He doesn't have a name, and no one has ever seen his face. But he always rambles on about the "pestilence." Perhaps he is a doctor, with is bird-like mask and tall, lanky physique. What strikes me as oddn however...
Is that he always has these people following him.
They are gaunt and pale. They don't react to pain, voice...anything. The walk like puppets on strings. The man says they're cured.
I'm not so sure.
