Micro Menace

I reek havoc on my unsuspecting hosts hitch a ride on the good cells, then fight start all sorts of insufferable symptoms watch them cough and sneeze all day. I care not, for I have no feelings wild and unruly, my sole mission is to make humans hopelessly miserable. Though I am minuscule and invisible a mini menace to mankind am I for I am the almighty VIRUS. Date: 7/14/2019

Wow, Laura you could have written this yesterday - I see from your comments it was a year and a half ago! So prescient... a great write whenever but so salient today. Glad I bumped into this one! Hugs ~ John

There is nothing quite like the misery of a virus. I can certainly relate. I had not had one in 2 years but when I finally came down with it, it lasted three months! I enjoyed your take on the contest Laura. Best for a win! xxoo

Hi Laura, You've penned a good entry for the contest theme. Good personification it felt as though that "nasty bug" was speaking. Getting sick doesn't feel good at all. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis
