Can confirm, got a tick sorta like this

Thanks for reminding me that scene exists. Now we all get to suffer.
Rising from my nightmares, i see that scene. Blinding, searing reality cuts through my consious thoughts; it had always been there; waiting for a spark. A fungal web of neuronal links itching to infect and consume. Unavoidable and inevitable.

Who doesnt love chiggers?
It's called a blanket
