the crazy is contagious.
it's the only explanation.
all around me, smart and capable people are turning into snarling, conniving, beast-things.
it's because someone nearby, someone in a position of authority, is afflicted with a bad case of the jumping-up-and-down crazies.
and whether the crazy is airborne or in the water or transmitted psychically, it's going around like plague.
those of us not yet infected ("i'm not infected! i'm not! look, here's a sample of brain tissue!") are still affected in ways many and profound. we flinch in the face of the lunacy, and unsurprisingly it makes us look nuts.
others, fortuitously positioned at a distance, scurry away wild-eyed at our approach.
they know. they've been warned or somehow they've intuited it...
the crazy is contagious.
