Oh and I have scabies. I just had to rub my body in this gross bug killing lotion shit. Head to toe. I hope they die, fucking itchy buggers. They could at least be symbiotic and make me hallucinate or something. All they give me is itchy itchy though. Worse than fucking humans, I swear.

I sat across from the old man, my former tutor and Master of Education at the now quite derelict boarding school of my youth. His glazed eyes glared back at me stupidly; their former shine of brilliance, their spark of knowledge and wisdom gone, replaced by the placated and inept stare of an invalid. How it pained me so!
