What are you dressed as?

[stubbleupdate]

It's hallowe'en, so lots of dressing up and cosplay etc. However, I'd much rather just post some of Ex Machina Special #3

You'll note the date, and of course remember that Monday October 19, 1999 was when Mitchell had his accident.



I need to reread this book. I've forgotten how good it was.

This post sent me scurrying off to my bookshelves to find the rest of this story. I then sat there and re-read about three trades in a row. Curse you and your Great Machine skills :D

So a bandaged man goes buy medicine, and the lady behind the counter thinks he's dressing up?

[glprime]

He had the misfortune of doing it Halloween night. She might have been seeing people come in all night in costume. But yeah, if you're working a pharmacy counter, you wouldn't think that anybody in bandages wasn't actually hurt.

Oh I dunno. It's the medicine counter at a random Duane Reade/Walgreens. How many heavily bandaged people with serious injuries casually stroll in there? Most people go there to pick up like herpes or cold medicine.
