The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal or hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horrot of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were incident of half an hour. But Paul, Terry, Matthew, and Holly were happy and dauntless and sagacious. When their dominions were half depopulated, they summoned to their presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of their court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of their castellated abbeys.

Speaking of comments - I just got this one, 5 years after posting about it. Too bad they didn't sign up for a journal:
Hi Paul, I think what this person did to Ken was horrific!!! However I am so sick of people playing the racist card,this has nothing to do with race!!! The man that was responsible should be shot I agree but, it seems to me he would have treated any homeless person that way!!!!How do you know it's because of his race, it just adds on one more reason to separate us white people from the other races!!! If this man treated Ken this poorly, he would treat anyone that poorly!!! (that he thought was bad for business)Did you actually hear this??? I shop at Wilsons in Lexington on a regular basis & Iif this is true, I would STOP in a heartbeat!!!! Please don't say it's because of his color!! I love all people, especially the most needy, and all races!!!! I hope you get what I'm saying!! Good for you that you're taking a stand!!
There was no commenting syste on the site until 05. Back then there was only the journal linking system.
I can't believe no one has commented on this; or did the comments get erased?
This story still pisses me off. I hate wilson farms, and now that the co-op is open across the street, I just go there for everything.
