It was extraordinary for me (a fake scientist) to observe what I'm calling "plague-faces" Over the centuries and throughout time there have been plagues.
Humans make the same faces during daily life no matter what century it is.
Seeing the "plague-face" expression to me is like a time capsule.
This calamity has it's own expression and we only get to see it every hundred years or so.
I was just observing a gentlemen walking by sporting an epoch smashing plague face.
Splendid composition. perfect bad posture, perfect shark mouth, blank stare and quiet resignation.
I was giving him a 9.6 when he noticed me.
I didn't have my own plague-face loaded in the chamber so I just smiled.
I looked down his arm, he was rocking a 12 pack of Rainier beer. I looked at the beer, he looked at me looking at the beer, I smiled at the beer, he smiled at the beer, we smiled at each other and then the beer again.
A silent distanced conversation about his evening to come.
Goodie gumdrops, tension quashed and he was on his way again sans the plague-face.
Glad to see him happy-faced before he gets shit-faced.
