Because When You Type Fast It Looks Like Your Fingers Are Dancing

I’m scared that by just typing the letters C-O-L-D I’ll get one. But there goes, I just typed ‘em.I want to hide. Before I only joked about it, but now I want to. This morning on my way to work I counted the number of people in my subway car with a chunky cough. Six. Six people. The car was about half empty, so (doing the math) that’s about 25%. And that doesn’t take into account the number of people who had quieter symptoms, like a runny nose or fever. I don’t know where to go. They are everywhere. They = the sick people. I don’t want to be a part of the Theys. I’m perfectly fine being a not-They, which I guess would make me a Them? What is the opposite of They? (I feel like I’m embarking on some sort of sociological exploration.)
