Plague Patrol
This is making me ill. Talk about ironic words.
This is almost like being back in the jungles all those years ago...faint memories of Mom and Dad using their medical knowledge to save me from Sakutia.
But this isn't Sakutia. It's...God, I thought I'd never say this...worse.
And to top it off, I may not be dead or dying (I think), but a lot of good people are. Civilians and heroes. I even found out about Supes before I left the Tower. I thought only Kryptonite brought him down!
But I'm still here. Still fighting, burying the dead after the madness, still trying to save the living. I'll be damned if I'm gonna just fall apart now. I need to stay focused. We need everyone that's still standing just to keep things in order.
I...this is...it's like a bad dream. A nightmare. I used to wake up in cold sweats when I had dreams mixing my memories of the jungle epidemic with San Francisco.
Now I find that it's worldwide. Death toll in the tens of thousands and climbing, even if we save the ones that we're forced to triage with heavy hearts. One place I helped deliver supplies to, a fourty-four year old guy was given triage over a baby g...shit.
If I hadn't met up with Aurora...I'd might as well have dressed myself in a straitjacket and skipped Wizard-Of-Oz-style to Arkham. I'd have lost it. Majorly.
Thank God for small, yet very significant, favors.
But, at least for now, I gotta hold together, not just for my sake, but for the people of the Dominion Hotel, and Aurora herself.
