Trench Warfare

That's what it's like between Loren and his illness.

The virii lob a projectile over to where Loren's dug in. Soon, his fever goes up.

His weakened immune system fires back. He hunkers down and waits for a brief respite, which might mean his temperature will cool down to 100.

Sooner or later another heat-seeking missile arrives and the fever rises.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

Never a normal temperature.

Eventually, his body should win.

All the "sooner or laters" seem to add up to a long time, though....
