318-word post, or “The New Flu Shot”

Heinz Klarenger paused for a long time before speaking. “Nobody is going to want this new and improved flu shot.”

He was addressing the 12-member meeting of the World Health Executive Committee for the Improvement of Annual Flu Shot Delivery Methods (WECIAFSDM).

Heinz stared at them over his horn-rims. This was his trademark look. He didn’t really need glasses in the first place, but he loved the idea of how admonishing he thought he looked doing it, so he’d bought a pair of stern-looking frames.

No colleague had ever questioned why his frames had no lenses in them, fueling the megalomaniacal image he had of himself of a well-respected and feared Director Of Decisionery (DOD). Mostly, people thought he was batshit crazy, but it was unclear in the byzantine maze of bureaucracy who exactly to lodge complaints to.

The members of the research team looked at each other over the table. Some rolled their eyes. Some clicked their pens. A few mouths were hanging open. One of them sneezed.

“No,” said Heinz. “They won’t.”

“Uh-huh!” said Chao emphatically, nodding his head and sitting down, snapping his finger.

And so it was that, the brightest and youngest minds in inoculation delivery research found themselves today, being told that their 2-year pet project of shooting flu vaccine at people using modified handguns fashioned to look like the myriad of weapons available in ‘Grand Theft Auto XII’ was not being approved.

Heinz stood. He felt old. He felt out of touch. But he knew he was right. “Nuh-uh!” he said, and walked out of the room.
