Worms

== Worms== Alex Waters was a normal man. His father was a drunk that into the Gulf war wand got himself killed. They said he spent three days in the mud, paralized from the neck down, unable to move. They said they found him screaming worms untill he finally died of a massive heart attack. When the letter came that his father had died, Alex stayed calm he knew death was a natural part of life, but his mother became a broken woman. She took up drinking and came home with another man every night. Alex had been deathly afraid of worms since he recieved the letter. He was a smart kid for his age, but because he was a slaker he ended up in a dead end job that payed well. He was saving money to put himself through medical school. His life changed the day the worms came. The first time he saw the worms was at work. He was typing away constantly at his desk at a failing company when his boss came and screamed at him. " You lazy shit stain! Get to work, have you seen this quarters report! I should fire you!" Soon the constant ranting of his boss was drowned out by the sound of squeaking. He took a closer look at the screen, and there was a worm crawling across desktop. He thought it was a joke by Tom, he was a tech guy, he knew how to do these things right? The thing seemed to look at him and he heard a harsh, raspy voice coming from the computer. "Gouge his eyes out. Just do it, put your thumbs on his eyes and press till' the bastards blind. He probably is already blind to mary that cow he calls his wife." The voice was so calm. It sounded like it knew what it was doing, but Alex resisted the strong urge to follow the worms advice and went to the bathroom to wash his face. A few days later he went to a drink with Tom and his other friend Jacob. Jacob was a ladies man, he hit on women with shitty pick up lines and ended up banged them by the end of the night. There was just something about him. While Jacob went to talk to some blond woman, Tom pulled Alex aside and told him he was joining the military. Tom thought it would be a good way to go to medical school with Alex.

"You can't! I told you about what happend to my father right?" Alex asked with concern.

"Alex relax I'll probably end up behind a computer piloting some drone, in no danger. I mean look at me Alex! I'm not perfect ondition to go into the front lines."

"I just don't want you to get your self killed."

"Relax everything will be fine." It wasn't. Tom was killed in action in the Iraq war at the age of 27, the same age as Alex. Alex quit his job as soon  Alex started to see worms around his house for another three years untill he met Susan. They met in medical and fell in love. They got married and bought a house in the suberbs. One night his wife was extremly pissed at him, for a reason unknown to him. His wifes shouts started to echo in his head then stoped. His noise started to bleed  then a worm came out, covered in mucus and blood. the voice came again,

"Beat the shit out of that whore. You know she's cheating on you, think about it why does she never look for a job and stay home all day when she has a medical degree." The worm sounded more convincing then before but Alex fought the urge. Two weeks later Susan left him for another man.

The worms were every where now. Everytime he ate the food became worms, so did his vomit. When he left his new apartment the buildings turned into giant worms juting out of the ground. Jacob came to visit Alex because he was concerned about him. He wasn't answering his phone and never saw him out of his apartment. Jacob came into the apartment, Alex had given him a spare key in case of emergancies. Jacob heard whimpering from the bedroom. He saw Alex, pale and skinny with a dead cat in front of him.

"Jesus Christ, Alex! What happend to you and why is that cat there!" said Jacob

"It's not a cat, it's a worm. Can't you see? Why won't they leave me Jacob!"

Alex turned around and screamed. His friend turned into a thound worms crawling around in the form of a man. He screamed untill Jacob left. Alex knew he couldn't live like this. He went to his closet and got a rope tied it into a noose and put a chair under it. He saw the noose turn into a worm. The scare made him stumble backwords and fall out his window. Alex fell 4 stories, as he was falling he looked below him and saw the ground was all slimy, slithering worms. He acepted his fate as he landed into the endless pit of worms.

Jacob pushed his way through the crowd to see his friend laying on the ground still (remarkably) alive. He had a wide grin and managed to spit his last words to his friend. "There gone...finally. Jacob don't follow the worms." Jacob watched in horror as worms started to come out of Alex's mouth.
