A deadly yawn has infected the world because of an evil Japanese spirit. This story is wild.

It’s also surprisingly unsettling when you take into account that yawning, while not uncontrollable, is something people do without thinking about it too much. Should this supernatural plague last more than a day, I could easy see people waking up and yawning before remembering that it’s not safe to do that anymore.

Thanks. I thought this would be a fun theme for a story. Yawning indeed contagious and I think maybe it could spread more than just the yawn itself.

I especially loved that the simple mask (which has been so vilified in covid times) proved to be the saviour! 🥰🙏
