Invasion Of The Omicron

      Now, it wasn't that I had never heard before yesterday about some new coronavirus variant that had turned up somewhere in southern Africa. But it seemed like just another ripple in the constant stream of COVID chatter flowing across the internet to which I wasn't paying any serious attention. 
      Then yesterday, Black Friday afternoon, Tom and I ventured out to a movie theater for only the second time since the onset of the COVID epidemic to see a flick that I was really chomping at the bit to see: "House of Gucci" with Lady Gaga and Adam Driver,

...which, alas, turned out to be 'waaay too long and incohesive and tiresome. 
​      But anyway, we went to a 1:20 pm matinee and exited the theater three long, bleary-eyed hours later. During the drive home I checked my texts to see that there had been some activity on the family thread:

     I turned to Tom, who was doing the driving. "What's omicron?" I asked him. 
     He thought a moment then replied, "I don't know."
     "The kids are talking about it on the family text," I said.
     "Never heard of it," he said.
     "Guess I'll google it," I said. "Oh, no," I said a moment later.   
      It was as if during the three hours that we were in the movie theater the world had been invaded by a juggernaut army of killer mutants,

...which, indeed, aptly enough describes the newest iteration of COVID-19 to launch a full-scale invasion against mankind. And the hyper-contagious Omicron, with its 50-headed spikes all the better to make war on the human body with, is as terrifying in form as anything that could be dreamed up by the most darkly imaginative creator of science-fiction.

     And so the beleaguered human race, wracked, sick, and dying by the thousands every day from the still on-going attack of the Delta variant, is now under a new attack by the Omicron. 
      To every human being who hasn't yet joined in the battle, who hasn't yet stepped up to do their part to save our our people and take back our planet, I say now is the time to enlist in the fight to defeat the Omicron and all the COVID-19 mutants: GET VACCINATED!
