Midnight Pals: Tape Worms
Added 2023-09-09 17:00:02 +0000 UTCMira Grant: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the parasite that makes you into a zombie
Grant: so they genetically engineer a tape worm that cures everything
Grant: so everyone gets one implanted
Grant: but they were, all of them, decieved
Grant: so everyone has an implanted tapeworm
Grant: and also people start turning into zombies
King: oh that’s a weird coincidence!
Poe: I bet those two things are related
King: wait
King: wait you think?
Poe: well it would stand to reason
Grant: have you guys heard this story before?
Grant: our hero is this girl who got in a massive car accident
Grant: that gave her brain damage that made her more agreeable
Grant: she got reverse Phineas Gaged
Grant: now that this girl is so agreeable, everyone she meets wants to tell her their life story
Grant: which is really convenient for me, the storyteller!
Grant: let’s get some exposition goinggggg
Grant: so the tapeworm makes people into zombies
Bogleech: you act like the tapeworm is doing this on purpose
Bogleech: it’s just trying to survive in its own way!
Grant: people are dying
Bogleech: [huffing indignantly] I don’t have to sit here and take this slander!
Grant: now civilization is collapsing because of tapeworm zombies
Poe: oh careful this story’s getting a little intense for dean
Grant: but also our hero got a dog
Koontz: a dog?!
Poe: think you’ve had enough dean, you’re getting hyper
Koontz: i want to stay up and hear about the dog!
Poe: come on dean let’s go
Koontz: you’re not the boss of me! I want to stay and hear about the dog!
