The low-rise velour tracks are everywhere today, shimmering like oil slicks under the flickering drugstore neon while I wait for my prescription. I can’t help but stare at the headlines about this "alien virus" creeping through the city, my eyes darting between the sick and the kids zooming past on their silver metal scooters.
I nearly dropped my Nokia when the cashier rang me up; paying **$1.03** for a single loaf of bread feels like a robbery, but I suppose all my peeps are feeling the pinch lately. Between the rising costs and the unseen fever floating in the air, the world feels as hollow as that invisible man on the movie posters.
