What is this all about really???? Sometimes it feels like I’m living in the Twilight zone.

“Janet Tyler has undergone her eleventh treatment - the maximum number legally allowed by the “State” - in an attempt to look normal. Her head is completely bandaged so that her face is entirely covered, and her face is described as a “pitiful twisted lump of flesh” by the nurses and doctor, lurking in the shadows of the darkened hospital room. The outcome of the procedure cannot be known until the bandages are removed. Unable to bear the bandages any longer, Janet pleads with the doctor and eventually convinces him to remove them early.”

“The doctor removes the bandages and announces that the procedure has failed, her face having undergone no change. Janet is revealed to be a beautiful woman by contemporary standards while the hospital staff all possess monstrous faces with drooping features, large, thick brows, sunken-in eyes, swollen and twisted lips, and wrinkled noses with pig snout-like nostrils. Distraught by the procedure’s failure, Janet tries to escape until a similarly attractive man named Walter Smith arrives to take her to a village of “[her] own kind” where they will not trouble the State. As he does so, he assures that while the State’s society find her ugly, others will find her beautiful.”

My theory: Chemically preserved processed food, sugar, and Toxoplasma gondii (which infects 50% of the global population).

Yep. That is what living in Oregon is all about now.
