Conditional Reality

Anosmia temporarily became a much prized ailment. Elevator companies had to lay off employees because people began avoiding their products. I noticed a liberating sense of freedom infected people everywhere. It was like our secrets were no longer secret. Tension lines began to slide off the faces of strangers. The liberating power of expelled gases changed everything. Houses of worship went empty. Schools were abandoned. No one wanted to go to work. The natural world in all its glory beckoned. We answered the call and lived as our ancestors once lived: close to the land. We loved our animal selves.
