INSIDIOUS DISEASES

A disease… one of the most insidious kinds. It entraps children and etches its memories into the creases of their minds. One might question if this disease exists.

Not so unreasonable if you ask me.

Like a fungus, the disease releases spores and infects its host, remaining invisible and yet, still felt by its victims. As the children grow so does the fungi and fungus must survive too. It releases its spores to seep into the minds of the next generation. And so…it spreads. Now grown the children look around beginning to notice the way it thrives in others too. Each host has become a puppet to their disease and each puppet has a job. They must find and nurture one another and in turn, the species survives. Life for the children has become hopeless. It’s inescapable.

Pain…an insidious disease. Invisible. Inescapable. Inevitable…

It’s self-sustaining.
