Intrusive Thoughts

Everyone is always making a huge deal about how germ-infested bathrooms are. And yet I've heard doctors say there's almost nothing you can catch from, like, a toilet seat.

But what about flesh-eating bacteria? That is a real thing in the world - I saw it on Mystery Diagnosis. If someone with an infection of flesh-eating bacteria sat on this toilet seat, couldn't I catch it from them? I am 100% sure I could. In fact, how else would you catch a flesh-eating bacteria? The people who do have them, they never know.

And once you catch a flesh-eating bacteria, you have to die. And all your friends have to watch your face fall off.

What is the single creepiest thing in the world? There is only one answer to that question and it is flesh-eating bacteria.

And prions. It's a tie.

Something just poked me. Probably a poisonous spider crawling into my pants and biting me. I might not die, but I'll definitely loose a chunk out of this leg.

Some people say Shylock was red-headed because Shakespeare was a racist. Actually the Bard was way ahead of his time in realizing that gingers have no soul. Also he was racist.

Organization

Yesterday lingers in the living room - its blue leaf pendant necklace on the table, its sweater and socks on the floor, its flowers beginning to wilt in their vase. It seems to have settled here.

As far as I know, that blue leaf plastic pendant will occupy this intersection in space forever, unless I evict it, pick it up, carry it back into the dim closet and make it live in some other point, Point B, maybe.

When people say, "the past is gone," or whatever else similar thing people say, is it from ignorance or humility that they deny their powers?
