The Flu Outbreak of 1963

The Outbreak

The kids were playing board games while eating breakfast one day.

"Calvin, are you ever gonna take your turn? What's the point in playing Queenie Eye with buddies if your buddy never plays?" said Charles Wallace.

"Sorry, bud. I'm trying to read the news. Since the outbreak began, the number of flu deaths is off the charts" said Calvin.

"Uh-oh. And I'm not at work. I better go" said Meg.

"Good luck" Sam said.

"Thanks" Meg said.

"I hope the Beatles can survive that concert they're at in Portsmouth. Especially during the outbreak" said Calvin.

"Me too" Sam said.

"Me three. On the plus side, while they're gone, we have the Cavern all to ourselves." said Charles Wallace.

The Beatles were in Portsmouth getting ready for an interview.

Three of them were really excited about it.

Three because Paul was feeling out of it. His stomach was really hurting him and he had chills.

"Feeling alright, Macca?" said John.

"I dunno" said Paul.

The lads tried to survive the interview, but once they were done, Paul had pretty much passed out.

They had to cancel their tour and go back to the Cavern.

And back in the Cavern, the Wiggles were visiting.

"I hope this outbreak ends soon" said Anthony.

"So do we. Meg's bosses are overworking her because of it" said Calvin.

"It's like that time Murray got food poisoning and Sam never took her eyes off him" said Greg.

The Beatles then came home.

"Hiya, Johnny boy" said Charles Wallace.

"Hiya, Charlsie" said John giving Charles Wallace a high five.

"What's the matter with Paul?" Sam said.

"He's been out of it since we walked into that interview" said George.

"Seems to me he's getting the flu" said Ringo.

"Ha. I'm not surprised. It's going around like crazy" said Calvin.

"Kids? Where's Meg?" said Paul.

"She's at work. But we'll be here for ya" Sam said.

Ooh, this is already getting good.

Will the kids survive the outbreak?

Will the pressure get to them?

Let's find out!

Peace and love,

Sammy
