Apologies For The Interruption To Your Service

I’m busy. Real busy. Healthy dose of the Fear busy. Drowning in a sea of deadlines so the (Blog)Writers Guild are going on strike until the workload subsides. Yes, I’m the only member of this fictitious organisation.

So apologies for the impromptu hiatus. Your usual service will be resumed in a few weeks or so. In lieu of real updates I provide you with this instead. Say hello to my friend Parasitic Gordian worm.

“Gordian worm live inside crickets for long periods, feeding on the cricket’s diet. Once fully grown, they inject chemicals into the cricket’s brain brainwashing it and forcing it to kill itself by jumping into the water. Once in water, the worm wriggles out of the writhing body and swims off in search of a mate.”
