Play for Germs
by Israel Horovitz
Synopsis
THE STORY: Having become comfortably ensconced in his victim's body, Socrates (a gonorrhea germ) resents the sudden intrusion of Aristotle (a syphilis germ).
Their confrontation becomes a boasting match as they trade the names of their many famous conquests—but an ominous note is sounded when they realize how many of their fellow germs have fallen prey to modern medicine.
And, while Aristotle launches a frenzied attack on his latest would-be conquest, so do they—as clouds of lethal “penicillin” billow in, making them choke their last.
