The: Brothers 3.10.20

The room was half-full. Not because the band was bad, but because fear was beginning to ripple through the crowd. People hugged their elbows. Hand sanitizer was passed around like a joint.

But the legacy of 3.10.20 is not about loss. It is about .

The date became a legend among the local scene. "3.10.20" became a code phrase. If you saw someone wearing a shirt with that number sequence, you didn't ask, "How are you?"
