VIRUS

You've seen this reel before. You know how it ends. But it gets better every time.

VIRUS feed.

VIRUS mobile.

VIRUS is a truck out on the four-way, a mile or more away.

But it's the light in your VIRUS that keeps me warm.

VIRUS has all the fresh flavor of just-brewed drip coffee. Your husband will say, Christ, Sally, I used to think your coffee was only so-so. But now, wow! Safe when taken as directed.

VIRUS is a machine for making choices.

VIRUS: the spring in your step.

VIRUS promises a soft manageability, and it delivers.

VIRUS is the end to that.

VIRUS is your quiet smile as you run into an old friend on the street.

VIRUS welcomes you with a firm handshake of carbon monoxide.

VIRUS.

VIRUS is a welcome cup of coffee on a hot morning.

VIRUS is a windswept vista through your polycarbonate riot shield.

VIRUS is the social.

VIRUS holds you in its long petro- chemical arms.

VIRUS reconfigures cities. For breakfast.

VIRUS.

In Forster’s sense of things, I have always tried very hard to not be a “political” novelist. I do not come to the page as a propagandist for my own beliefs. This has been made rather more easy for me, I suspect, by the fact that I am, as far as I can tell, more or less a centrist, equally repelled by either extreme of the political spectrum. Indeed, I believe that the spectrum forms a full circle, with right and left merging, as they meet at their respective extremes, into luminous batshit evil.
