Flash Fic Friday - BRAIN BUGS

Flash Fic - a short, short story of exactly 100 words on a Friday. How convenient.

This week - BRAIN BUGS

Brain bugs are they call them, which is a misnomer. The infestation is actually a seed, not a bug. The name comes from the manner in which the seeds enter the nasal cavity and then bore into the brain. From there, stage one is screaming and writhing in pain. Stage two is an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Stage three is uncontrollable violent behavior, whereby the infected succumb to their appetite.

Is that why I eating this person? No, I am not stage three. I am capitalizing on the apocalypse. I’m just a garden variety cannibal. Join me for dinner?
