The Truth is Contagious by Emily Goodwin

Vaccines to halt the horrific disease that had swept the nation. The Authority thought we were testing vaccines on these people. Some didn’t have a chance of surviving transport.

And they were shipping the live test subjects to our residence. Sure, we made some fake stuff for the internet and printed some fake diplomas, but someone must have been sleeping on the job for us to get approved.Īnd yet, we were approved. Ray’s sheer genius and my knowledge garnered from researching natural healing allowed for us to talk like scientists in the interview, but how we passed any of the background checks is beyond me. Somehow (Providence? Dumb luck?) we had convinced the Authority we were scientists. He was pulling the 3M N100 respirator over his mouth. He already had on his scrub coat and surgical hat. I was sure this last act would be our demise. Everything was packed up and the truck was loaded, waiting in the alley. It was a miracle we’d pulled this off for this long. “You’re kiddin’ me,” Ray said, shaking his head. What was on the front step would have to wait a minute. “We got another one!” I yelled over my shoulder as I took a step back and shut the door firmly.
