[QUOTE="rentier, post: 39462, member: 306"] The story is called "The Stolen Bacillus" and it'll take you 10 min to read it - [url=https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind_and_Other_Stories/The_Stolen_Bacillus]not the worst way to spend time[/url]. It's a really short story about potential implications of germ warfare: some people speculate typhus epidemics appearing here and there throughout Europe were artificial, and H. G. Wells is not helping - he's convincingly describing actual germ warfare taking place, by the way of poisoning water supply. But that's not why I write this. The story features an "underdog" anarchist character that wants to go ER and stage a terror event, he steals bottled cholera and tries to infect the city of London. This is his psychological portrait that stuck with me: Ouch. Sounds like you, [USER=48]@𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖑[/USER] It's amazing how certain users manage to misinterpret [i]normal behavior[/i] as "mocking" them, and nearly get permabanned for this. Like, what if I wasn't mocking you (which I wasn't) and it's just your default perception of things? [/QUOTE]
