who in America will fall prey to Ebola / part 3

fiction
Edward w Pritchard


There is a sense that one must be away from the others, out in the cold, isolated, beyond communication, beyond reach, and out of mind to keep safe from the Ebola virus. It's a heavy price for safety; everyone shuns all Kith and kin, Father a Mother and cousins all of kind.

For long periods of time it's suspect to eat animal meats and one crouches by a stream letting fish swim by freely and clutches instead foul sea weeds for nourishment. One must journey far from patches of humans to find clear untarnished water to temporarily purify the soul during an Ebola epidemic.

 Sleeping  in a cave of the clan is verboten in time of rabid Ebola. One must sleep lightly with suspicion of the approach of others, never on one's back and without the warmth of animal skins if one's is to survive periodic flair up's of the Ebola; it's the unwritten rules of the times of Ebola passed from father to son to insure a few survivors of the species from the dread enemy Ebola and it requires isolation and alienation from all others if someone is to survive to tell about the Ebola plague's sinister visitations.

There's no one to confide in and no one to reassure one's self during Ebola crisis's. Soon it will get very cold and dark early and the Ebola virus will wane.

Prop yourself on one crooked elbow and sleep fitfully a few minutes at a time alone in the wind and dark. Listen for approaching footsteps and huddle in the dank shivering cold without a comforting animus skin blanket safe from the touch others.

Stir your tracks circuitously to shun humans and Ebola.

There is a sense that one must shun and avoid others if one is to survive to tell of the times of trouble in the periodic Ebola outbreaks. The world is not hostile just very precarious during the frequent Ebola arising's stalking us from the ancient home of our distant forgotten ancestors. Be suspicious of the approach of Kith and Kin at Ebola times and pay the heavy price of solitude, anonymity and stealth from clan when the invisible pink Ebola virus is active and stalking about the territory.
