The Army of Pestilence

Children are a disease. Or more accurately they are disease spreaders. I am weak, my body hurts with each step, and I can't think for certain. This is something Rolando did to me, I know he did it to me because he's suffering through a similar affliction. Which is worse because than he's unconsolable and he will not sleep. I know thousands of spells and arcanum, but nothing that puts a baby to bed. My wife tells me I'm being a baby about it, but I don't think so at all. She's already turned down a few requests of mine to call over the local annoying religious botherers to make myself feel better (it's not like they would be missed! I wouldn't miss them!)

I did come up with an idea to take over the galaxy by leading an army of sick children. You'd be all "daw look at the child in his uniform like he's a person" and then boom you get sick and then well I hadn't thought of it beyond getting people sick with annoying but not fatal diseases (I hope its not fatal, something else to worry about I guess). All the same, army of sick children take over the world, you'll be seeing it soon enough, soon as I and the boy get over this illness.

"That was a weird entry." Trezlan was struggling to remember when he wrote that one.

"Why did that pull up again?"

"Must have said something about army or sick and not realized it would pull up that entry about Rolando killing me, it was a series of them as I recall as with each horrible thing he inflicted on me I wrote a new entry warning past me about having a child despite it being too late, I figured time travel would stop this from happening, but no time travel so I'm screwed."

"The collective thinks there is a 50% chance that your army of sick kids idea would be successful."

"Something to keep in mind I guess, anyway on to the next actual entry."
