“But BRIO! I thought you said you’d always love me! I thought your COVID tests would always be miiine!” Westridge said, as BRIO drove away down the rain streaked road to test elsewhere. And Westridge sat there, in the rain, and contemplated empowering children to be their best bold selves — for once, the thought didn’t bring a smile to their face. They could still feel the mind numbing sensation of a COVID test scraping their sinuses. If BRIO wasn’t so gosh darn devoted to providing testing to the greater LA area, maybe they could’ve been better at communication, which is necessary for a healthy relationship, goddammit! Westridge opened their MyMedbot app and wept. No, they didn’t think they could be the sloth today.
