For centuries, alien visitors known as the Nons (or Non-Humans) attempted to live amongst humans, but something in human DNA caused the aliens a painful death.
After years of research, a discovery was made. The cure was so simple: one part Human DNA, one part Non DNA.
How will we convince them to take it? asked a Non.
“Humans hate being sick” said the other Non. “They take meds for colds, so when we tell the world of the Swine Flu, people everywhere will demand the shot.
And thus, the H1N1 flu vaccine was administered to half the Earth’s population.
This little conspiracy theory of the H1N1 flu shot is my entry into this weeks’ Friday Fictioneers.
This story has been banging around in my head for quite some time, I was just waiting for the right photo prompt to show up. I hope you enjoy it.
