#690 The Lark- Amelia Gray
Another day another story with a sickening plot element, this time literally. William has a puking problem. He vomits every time he speaks. After the words come out, so does the bile in direct proportion to the length of his sentences. As you can imagine, this makes William very quiet and very lonely.
He naturally gets a job working at a post office, where his speaking can be brief and his customers either odd themselves or at least wanting to spend very little time in the post office. He manages to find some sort of equilibrium and can hide his affliction. That is until one day a woman seemingly crazy comes in toting a legless can in a carrier and he spews all over the office and ruins some first class mail. The proverbial cat is out of the bag and his co-workers are sickened. Everyone is sickened except the crazy cat lady. They say there is a soul mate for everyone.
