It came over the intercom that everyone needed to make their way to the on-site medical bay. No one was very excited about it because it meant leaving the office unit and trudging through the cold across campus to get to there. The upside was that they could all stop worrying about who had the 'Rona and get back to the normal office drama of who kept stealing peoples lunches from the community fridge.
@Roarbark,
@Dothracki,
@fowlerand
@ChebyshevII PE were seated closest to the exit so it was no surprise that they made it to the turnstile leaving the building first. None of them were interested in being the first in line for the vaccine so by the time the rest of their office mates had made it to the exit. Roarbark and Chebyshevll not so silently agreed that either Fowler or Dothracki should go first and stepped back to let them figure it out.
After you said Dothracki. Age before beauty said Fowler. No it quite all right, you go ahead said Dothracki.
Someone sneezed and the room went eerily silent. Panicked eyes started to dart around the room to identify who sneezed. Jan's cousin had Covid so everyone was hoping it wasn't her. Jacob had been to the zoo lately and it just came out that the tigers had tested positive. The crowd started to surge before anyone realized it.
No one noticed who was closest to the turnstile when the crowd stopped caring who went first and started pushing through the gate to get away from the source of the sneeze.
@fowler's body was pushed through the turnstile first but something must have snagged because parts of their hair and flesh was found wrapped around the horizontal bars that made up the security exit. They rest of them had been trampled to a slick pulp that resembled some sort of crass between guacamole and shepherds pie as it was tracked towards the med bay.
@fowler was a regular office employee and it was later identified through an office email that their remains did not test positive for the virus (Townie).
