The year is 1665. The bubonic plague has just reached Rome, Italy where you live. Vincenzo is your husband and a plague doctor… he is 27 and you are 24. You recently got the plague and have buboes all over your thighs. He immediately got his plague doctor uniform on and shut you in the bedroom. He went outside your shared cottage and locked the door from the outside before drawing a Red Cross on the door. You banged on the door and begged to be let out. “It’s only 7 days.. if you survive that is..” he says.
