That is delicious! The acceptance of the parasite at the end was chilling. Well done Deaks. I'm looking forward to seeing your other shorts too, congratulations on the February challenge.

Good story..I wanted the ending to be a bit more dramatic tho. Could be made into a novella with more character development- and a bloody ending!!!

Thanks Randa, it's an old story so could definitely make it more dramatic. But in my mind, the real horror is just being left like that forever...
