Insane in the Membrane

Recently I read a post about a man who’d had a moth in his head for two years. A moth. For two years. I once had a spider in my ear for two seconds and thought I had lost my mind.

I was sound asleep, dreaming that I was in the school cafeteria. In my dream, someone was eating extra crispy lettuce right next to me. It was annoying! I politely asked this person to stop, but he got even closer, leaning on my shoulder and crunching in my ear. I pushed him away, but he kept getting closer and closer until his mouth was covering my ear!

I awoke from my dream to escape this stranger with a lettuce-eating ear fetish only to find that the crunching continued. I panicked! Had I finally lost my mind? Is this what insanity felt like?

Scrambling out of bed, I ran about the room like a woman possessed, shaking my head and slapping at my ears. Then, blessed peace! Looking down I saw the tiny offender scrabbling across the floor. I smushed it. Then I shivered violently. There aren’t enough ewwws in the world to describe my disgust. Just, eww!!!

For many nights I couldn’t fall asleep without a spider barrier (more commonly known as ear muffs) on my ears. But I also wondered, are there people in institutions who just need to be inspected for arachnids? Seriously!

Peace, People!
