Each little bite they took of my brain sent jolts of pain
through my skull. I tried rubbing my head with my hands. That didn’t help. The
mad pain drove me to scratching at my scalp, till my nails bent and skin bled.
I pulled my hair out in clumps, but the pain continued.
When they were sated, I could fall asleep for a time. But
when hunger stirred the tiny things to wake, they would resume their gnawing. I
would come awake, writhing and shrieking, and wishing for all the world that I
would be put to sleep forever.
