By the time I am writing this it is 1630. I have moved to venice. It is impossible to think that this city used to be the greatest and richest city state in europe. Now the streets are ravaged with I strange disease. This disease in just a year claimed the lives of thousands. But I cannot be overcome with fear. For I am a Plague Doctor. Everyday I have I have to prepare by dressing in a special outfit : Tough Leather breeches to protect my, and I wear a long Heavy Coat which covers my entire body. I wear a type of cape with a hat and of course, My trusty metal mask. Each day I travel to the homes of the people that has been infected. I use the best cure, Blood lettings and telling the ill to rub onions on their sores. When My patients are very sick I poke them with my cane so I don’t have to touch their infected body. I don’t know if these techniques work. I can’t help but worry. Will my safety precautions protect me from the same fate? At this moment we know it it not the first plague. It has been happening for centuries. But finally It seemed like the world is coming to the end. The last plague was 300 years ago and that killed almost 1/3 of europe. Now it has came back to venice and this plague has hit my city hard. Before a place of culture now to another country infected by the plague. The number of deaths increase day by day and now. Over 1/3 of a population is dead. Every day you see a new chariot full of corpses. These are dragged along by some poor soul who…. in. a few days will sadly circum to the same fate as the rest of them. Usually they are buried but sometimes they are burnt in great piles. I just hope there is one day when venice will look like this :
