    Older gentleman walked into the lobby of our office. None of us knew who he was or had seen him before. He looked confused and lost. Someone went over to ask if they could help him. He tried to but didn’t respond. Then fell over. Hit his head on a table on the way down. Was dead before the pandemics arrived.

    We were all in shock. Poor guy was starting into a stroke when he walked in. Maybe even walked into our office to try getting help. But it was already too late.

      before the pandemics arrived

      I know this was a typo and you meant to write paramedics, but all I could think first thing I read this was “what a lucky bastard”

          This fucked me up when I learned and finally accepted it, but it’s actually “Fly, you fools!”

            I thought he says that in the books, but “Run” in the movies. He really says “Fly” in both?
