Huh! Speak of the devil! I just popped by your journal to see if there were any life signs from you. When I refreshed my f-page there was. What is Captain Trips? I get an image of nice rumdrinks with umbrellas in but I bet that's wrong.
Awww, thanks for checking on me. :) Captain Trips is the superflu from Stephen King's enormous apocalyptic novel The Stand. It kills off 90-some percent of the population in a matter of weeks. I read that book when I was a young teen and had a terrible cold when I started and I swear, it scarred me for life. Or at least turned me into a life-long King fan. :)
Ah! I've read that one. But that was in Swedish so I think the flu was called something else. I got flashbacks from reading the Stand when we went for our flu-shots last winter. That was a creepy experience.So much people! And all quiet, just standing there, waiting for the door to open. Son said it was 'warlike'.
