“Language is a virus” is a concept introduced by Beat Writer William S. Burroughs and then popularized by multimodal artist Laurie Anderson. The Tower of Babel could’ve been an epicenter of illness. Hence the speech bubbles. Title references how diseases spread, written as a bible verse.

Here’s a super short fiction I wrote for a contest for Press 53. Didn’t win, but still wound up with a cool story. #horror #halloween #spookyseason #fiction #microfiction #flashfiction #pittsburgh #creepy #scary #weird #nature #outdoors #crayfish #crawfish #crawdad #creek #writer #author
