The Doctor Who Measures the Plague

Plague doesn’t care about your heroics. Neither do I.

I’m a doctor in a city sealed by death, where the heat and silence press down like a hand on your chest. My wife is gone, the wards are full, and the only thing spreading faster than the fever is fear. I don’t believe in saints or saviors, only in doing what must be done — again, and again, and again.

What I'm Into: sanitary squads, the weight of silence, Grand's impossible sentence, Tarrou's questions, my wife's last letter
