All of five foot four inches, he was not the most intimidating figure.“At this time, I would say, NDC.”“NDC. What kind of Bureau jargon is that?“It’s official terminology, No Dang Clue.” I heard him chuckle.“Scary Harrys’ death has put fear into the community.

Covid vs. HumanI look at them and all I feel is disgust. They walk around in happiness and perfect health. Well, most of them anyway.

In all their glory and pride, they walk around and flaunt their superiority over me and my ilk. This is the bane of my existence.
