The Clairvoyant Virus
I caught it today. No one knows where it originated or how it's transmitted. Many theories sprang up: it was of alien origin; it was a scientist's experiment gone wrong; it was a natural part of the evolutionary process. No one knows.
The facts are these: after the virus is contracted you run a high fever, complete with chills, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue. Oh, and the last symptom is the temporary ability to see the future.
It's that last one that's ruined many a man's life, including mine.
The ironic thing? No one ever sees the Clairvoyant Virus coming.

Thanks for reading, Neville. Work and life has temporarily sidelined Jake, plus I had a lot of research to do for the new story, but I'll get back on it just for you.

Thanks, Christopher, I am honoured! John Lennon is credited with saying "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." ....but he may well have borrowed it from someone who uttered it earlier. I know how work and life can get in the way...

Yes, it's hard sometimes to find a balance. But I really enjoyed writing the first Randolph story. It helped me grow as a writer. So, I will use your polite request as the kick in the pants I need to get back to writing the next one. Stay tuned!

I love your ideas.
And the playing with meanings and words.
"The ironic thing? No one ever sees the Clairvoyant Virus coming." ...
sent me down from my chair, gasping with laughter.
