Silent Killer

Germaphobes rejoice

 

A silent killer is on the run, neither a man nor beast, neither with a knife nor a gun.

 

Oh so minuscule that the eye can’t see, a mutant strain on a killing spree.

 

It festers and cultivates within its host, it has no ego and no time to boast. You’re not fully aware until it’s too late, race creed or color it doesn’t discriminate.

 

It spreads like wildfire streaming through your veins, until your lifeless carcass is all that remains.

 

You better notify your next of kin, there is no cure for this “Pathogen”. On to its next host through water and air, are you the next victim in search of medical care?

Incredible job. Never thought anyone would write about a disease. Still, excellent and so very true.

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks so much, I appreciate the look..and yes a very strange topic to write about I must say. :)

[Rob Santana]

aaww man this is killer!! Creative/original. I haven't seen anyone write about something like this. I really like the pic you chose, sik. Helluva job!

[Dream Weaver]

Thanx Creeper, I designed the pic myself, I'm into graphics...and thanx for the glowing review my friend.

[Rob Santana]

Really? Damn you got skills brother.

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks again bro...I'm just too lazy to use em tho :)

[Poetic Beauty]

This is done quite well and as we know there are some diseases that take the life of people. No cure and traumatic pain before death. I like the creative way you wrote this.

[Dream Weaver]

Thank you Kristina, it is quite informative... :)

[Dream Weaver]

I did redo this one, I wasn't happy with the old version...

[Joiedevivre]

[Ladysue]

oh wow you nailed this subject well...it is a scary thing when you really think about it....this was very creative writing...good work...

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

These days I barely want to shake hands with anyone......chills from this one and my hands are in my pockets. Well done!

[My Fair Lady]

Its actually really scary... antibacterial soap is good.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A philological warfare of difference, sometimes the mind weakens and scares when faced with such sidepieces, however once again you have faced it head on, well done, great read.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Still....I think I'll wash my hands a few extra times today. This gave me creepy chills up and down my spine. You're a complete genius....I love the concept and creativity that went into this. Indeed, biology is wonderful ;)
