Description
Death. The plague doctor is not the harbinger of death. No, death is already amongst them. The smokestack billows black from the burning of the dead. The people are still uneasily denying. Not me. Not us. But disease is already a friend taking up a cozy place in their bedrooms. Soon, the plague doctor will be about his work; Death and the plague doctor side by side at the bedside of the dying.
But death was first on the scene.
