Two Of The Estimated
There are an estimated 380 trillion viruses in the human body. The entire population is known as the virome. Ed and Frank were two of the viruses in Mel Fromberg. As it happened, they talked to one another…
"Let me ask you, Ed. Did you ever want to be something else?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, how about a bacterium?"
"I can't stand those things, Frank."
"Or how about a cell?"

"You know. How about a cell in a human being like Mel here?"
"What?"
"Maybe a lung cell? Or nose cell?"
"Mel? His nose? Are you kidding me?"
