"Blue Face" by Richard F. Yates (HF)

[Digital photo with digital embellishments and color.] I don't like going outside amongst the peoples. I'm not sure that I actually LIKE the peoples. Sure... Sure... They haven't done much to me, but they've done plenty to each other. I'm also a germ-o-phobe. Even BEFORE the global pandemic, I was the kind of freak that used napkins to turn doorknobs, and felt extremely uncomfortable being surrounded in grocery stores or comic-cons. Now that everyone ELSE thinks going out can be deadly, you finally have a tiny understanding of what I'VE lived with since I was four or five years old! PARANOIA! (Probably what turned me blue!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
