Invaders at the gates: a real-life Choose Your Own Adventure

[cthulhie]

You are home sick for the fifth day in a row. You are feeling better today, though your partner is still in the weeds with it--doubled over coughing up a hedgehog every five minutes, whining plaintively in a manner that can best be described as "reasonable." The doctor said it was the flu, and to come back if symptoms persist after seven days.

Possibly, but on the list of "Ways that I've wished to play with door-to-door missionaries," giving them swine flu is a clear frontrunner.

Truly, their turning up yesterday WAS a gift from god.

(I sent them away. Reasonably politely. They gave me a postcard with a square-jawed white Jesus.)

You have been smitten by an angry god.

This made me happy.

I know your day job is critical in ensuring that the world continues to turn (probably mainly from a bank account point of view), but damn it, I miss reading the words you write. Maybe you could bcc me on some customer emails some time, just to fill the gaping hole in my life?
