buggy

We were hanging out in this apartment I had been in before. It has been passed down from friend to friend. There was a really nice atrium, and cool steps inside. Sarah, unfortunately, had gotten way too skinny after she moved in here though.

I saw a really colorful caterpillar on the wall and you giggled. The rainbow colored caterpillar curled up to make a ball that looked like a little raspberry, each ball of color different. It pulsed and each bubble grew like a balloon, and as they grew each one came away from its body as if on an antennae. The balls of color swelled and bobbled around as they grew. More antennar grew from its body bearning little black flags. Each colored antennae bubble sloshed at the end of its appendage as they began bursting! sticky bug juice ran down the wall everywhere.

It was amusing until we realized that the juice contained thousands of tiny tiny wormlike babies. they were nearly translucent and resembled 1/4" long nematodes on speed. We tried to kill off the infestation with some alcohol. It didn't work, and we grabbed listerine, nail polish remover, anything we had on hand, but they just kept comong down the wall.

Soon there were longer ones as well, several inches. the waves of worms cascaded down the wall on to the floor where they began collecting all the dead exoskeletons of other bees wasps and tucans they found on the floor, organizing them into large grids of bodies. Grids were forming on most of the walls and parts of the floor before we had to leave. When the accumulated enough of a grouping they would animate the dead creatures and move their bodies into hiding.

drink up

the race had been over for some time, and the crowd were still pouring through the city, each team taking up camp in the doorway to a bar or an apartment along the street. everyone was still cheering for their side, although im not sure who won. i think we were all winning. as the night grew late, kids were kicking trash cans around the street and fights were breaking out. the crowd was drunk and lost. walking home, or at least to somewhere else.

we went into a cafe to finally sit. it was hidden in the back of one of the buildings along our street and they served only the secretest of drinks to big dark groups of people on big dark cushions.

rami bought us a round of drinks, and i started into mine. bubbly and blue. they soon got up to leave, and i noticed that mine had begun growing poisonous white crystals out of the fluid that a moment ago i was drinking. of course, its delicious because the crystals are deadly. of course.
