Chapter 7 - A Rat in the Night (2)

Thank you for reading. --Meta disclaimer-- I admit, I was a bit worried about using a virological magic system in the wake of the pandemic situation. Of course, that is also where I partially got the idea from, which feels a bit ghoulish. If you've been personally touched by the tragedy over the past year-and-a-half, please know that I don't mean to cheapen the serious nature of this healthcare crisis. However, I see no point in putting my head in the sand and acting like diseases don't exist for the forseeable future. I'm using this opportunity to turn something that sucks into something partially useful, and in that spirit, deal with the situation constructively. This is just the first of several dark topics this story will touch upon, so please prepare yourself, if you decide to keep reading it.
