Agent (H)

By Sean Gormley

It's flu season again, at least that's what is seems to be. Something's gone wrong with the way the United States government is handling things. The problem is, they want to handle everything. Government control has gone bad in a fast moving, and horrifying way. It's easy to assume that everything we eat and drink is safe, because after all, it's inspected by experts, right? You won't ever look at a salad the same way again!

Tim was so excited to finally be doing research work for such an important cause, as the farms in the area that he'll have the pleasure to work with, supply the entire countries winter crop of vegetables.
