“Remember when we used to just… talk?”

“Remember when we used to have things to say?”

“Remember when we used to have things to do?”

“Remember when we didn’t have such great memory?”

“Remember when we had more important stuff to remember?”

…and so on.

The 2023 Mnemonic Plague.

Never forget.

On a boring day at the passport office, some guy burst in. Looked like he’d been attacked by a bear.

Uncharacteristically, government employees rushed to help him. He was later taken by ambulance.

Turns out he’d infected all the employees with the zombie plague.

Didn’t affect their work performance, though.
