This morning I found a strange, worm-like creature wiggling around in the garden. It was about 5 inches long and thinner than a pin–completely wrong proportions for an earthworm, and further, it was waving its upper end in the air in a manner that earthworms can’t.
I am not worm expert, but my assumption is that there’s only one good reason to be that thin and that long: to make burrowing into someone else’s body easier.
Being a stupid hippie, I wear sandals everywhere (except in snow; I have found it more comfortable to be barefoot in snow than in sandals, and I do not find it comfortable to be barefoot in the snow.)
Forget that shit. I now have nice, sturdy boots for the garden.

Long, thin, able to crawl in someone’s body? Reminds me of the guinea worm. Terrifying indeed.

In retrospect, I may have overreacted to something harmless. But still, caution is wise.
