Note: 

This story and the afterword included down below were written on Saturday February 21, 2026, before I posted my 199th post and 200th post on my blog. Oh, and it was 100% written by a human being. I shouldn’t have to write such a disclaimer, but this is the world we’re currently living in. People are using AI (artificial intelligence) to write stories for them, using data that they stole from across the Internet 🛜, and just regurgitate text out that vaguely resembles what the person typed into the prompt for the AI to generate. No, I don’t do that bullshit. If I write stories, I write stories instead of having some AI do it for me. And I come up with my ideas on my own, and don’t use AI to give me ideas on what to write about, which is what some content creators, even ones I respect, do. They get their ideas on what write about or make videos about from AI. Or they use AI to do simple things that a human being could easily do on their own. Like, I saw this one review of The Fifth Element, it was a podcast of some kind, called Gen Wars, you had a panel of four people, where the pairs of two people making up the four are from different generations: Generation X and Generation Y, better known as Millennials. They basically review movies together, and they each review it from the perspective of their respective generation. 

The Gen X people on the panel review the movie from the perspective of Gen Xers and the Millennial people on the panel review it from the perspective of Millennials. And one of the people on the podcast, the woman used ChatGPT to give a plot synopsis of the film 🤦‍♂️. That’s lazy, and it’s stupid! I could’ve easily done that. In fact, I wrote my own review of The Fifth Element, and I liked my review more than theirs not to toot my own horn or anything. I don’t do that, I don’t use AI for anything, and I never will. You can’t make me! As long as you’re on the Jedi the Scribe blog, or as long as you’re reading a story credited to Jediah Sanchez, or Jediah N. Sanchez if I ever decide to use my initial in my name, you can assured that it was written 100% by a human being. I also wrote this while our Internet 🛜 was off. T-Mobile disconnected us because we were unable to make payments on time, and have this huge overdue bill on top of it. So, I wasn’t able to look up certain things while I was writing this, and I added to edit it later on when I did have access to the Internet 🛜 once again. So, keep that in mind.

 It’s late at night, around 11 o’clock or so, and you’re getting ready for bed. You have to go to work the next morning, and you stayed up later than usual. You don’t want to risk oversleeping, or waking up all tired and groggy the next morning, barely even able to keep your eyes open, or even get up from bed at all. You could call in sick, but you don’t want to because you’re working on something important earlier in the day, while at work, and it requires to come in the next day and work on it. It is absolutely dedicate work, and it requires your full attention, and it requires you to alert and awake. You could drink coffee, but there’s only so much coffee can do, even with a shot of espresso added in. You certainly don’t want to take an adrenaline shot. That’s way too much and way too extreme. So, you have to go to bed now, otherwise, your job might be on the line. Your absence could lead to a disaster. 

So, you quickly do your nightly routine. You brush your teeth, floss, and then you try this new thing that you heard about, tongue scrapping. You heard about it in a YouTube video, and then you did some research online talking about what it is, and what the benefits are, and you see that it makes your tongue more clean and hygienic. You basically take this little tool, either made out of wood or metal or plastic, and then very gently scrape your tongue to get all the dead skin off, get any food particles that maybe on there, and of course get rid of plaque. You do this until your tongue is fully its natural color with no white or yellow in sight. It helps get rid of bad breath of course, but the part you’re the most interested in is that it improves your taste buds because there’s nothing blocking them or covering them. 

So, if you scrap your tongue on a regular basis, you’ll be able to taste even better. You’ve never scraped your tongue before in your entire life, the most you’ve done is just brush your tongue with your toothbrush, and that’s it. So, you wonder what you’re missing out on if anything. Is tongue scrapping even worth it? It might be worth it just for aesthetics. No body likes looking at a tongue that’s white or yellow, so you decided to try it. At least just once, just this once, and then if you don’t like it, then you don’t have to do it ever again. But, if you do like it, then maybe you can continue. Make it apart of your normal routine when getting ready to go to bed. So, you try it. 

You try to be as gentle, and apply as little pressure as you can without hurting your tongue. Don’t want to start bleeding or anything, and have to get gauze or tissues to put in your tongue to stop your tongue bleeding because you cut it with the tongue scrapping tool. At first, it does hurt a bit because you applied too much pressure, but once your get the hang of it, and start applying less pressure and scrape more gently, actually start to see some results. All that white stuff that was on your tongue before it actually coming off. You couldn’t believe it. That video you saw, and all the articles you read online were right. Usually you don’t trust the Internet because the Internet is full of mistruths, especially when it comes to your field of expertise, but in this case, the Internet was actually right about something. Your tongue is still a bit white, but you’re sure that if you keep this up every night, your tongue will be perfect. 

Finally, you gargle some mouthwash, spit it out, and then rinse it out with some water, and then you leave the bathroom. But, before you even go to bed, you decide to go to kitchen first. You walk up to the fridge, open it up, and take out a bottle of water. Just a regular plastic bottle of water. You like to drink water before you go to bed because it hydrates you, especially when your mouth is dry. But also because you just like the taste of water, regular ol’ water with nothing added to it. It’s refreshing. Plus, now that you’ve scrapped your tongue for the first time, you might even be able to taste it more. Who knows? You won’t know until you drink it. So, with bottle in hand, you close up the fridge, and finally make it back to your bedroom. You close the door behind you because even though you’re all alone in your house, you don’t like to just leave your door open. You like to have that little extra piece of privacy. It makes you feel more safe and secure, and that’s what you want when you’re able to go sleep. Safe and secure. 

You place the bottle of water on the bed stand next to your bed, right next to your lamp and your phone. One of a couple lamps in your bedroom. Because you’ve already stayed up later than you were supposed to, and decide that there’s no time for you to put on pajamas. So, you just decide to take on your clothes, and then sleep in your underwear. You don’t get completely naked because you’re not quite ready for that yet. You already tried one new thing tonight, and you don’t feel like trying another. One new thing at a time. Who knows? Maybe if it all works out, maybe you could try sleeping completely naked the next night. You’ll be a part time nudist. A nudist by night. But for now, you just decide to sleep in your underwear. That’s good enough for now, as long as you’re comfortable while you sleep that’s all that matters you think to yourself. You pull the blankets aside, and you sit on top of your bed next to your bed stand. You grab the bottle of water, twist the cap open, and take a decent swig. You don’t want to drink too much because you don’t want to have to get up in the middle of the night, and have to pee. The more sleep you can get out of this night, the better. 

You close the cap, you put the water down next to your phone. You grab your phone to check to see if your alarm is set to the right time. Yes! It’s set at 7:00 am just when you set it. The time when you’re suppose to wake up to go to work every day. And you are staying up way later than that time allows. You better go to bed now and get as much sleep as you can, so you can be in any way functional the next morning. So, with that peace of mind, you slide underneath your blankets, turn your lamp off, and then you try your best to try to go to sleep. You toss and turn in your bed, trying to find the best position you can sleep in. Your used to sleep on your side, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t fall asleep while sleeping on either side of your body. Not your left side, not your right. So, you decide to try sleeping on your back. You know you told yourself no more trying new things tonight, but this is important. You need to start sleeping, and getting the rest you need for tomorrow. And while you don’t usually sleep on your back, to your surprise, it actually works, and you close your eyes, and slowly drift off into sleep. Your drift into sleep was so subtle, you didn’t even really perceive it. 

But then, you feel something. You feel a sharp pain, almost as if someone stuck you with a hypodermic needle, like someone was giving you a shot. But, how could that be? You’re all alone in your bed, and in your house. No one should be in your bed with you except you. Then, you feel another sharp pain, as if someone stuck another needle in you. Then you feel another, and another, and another, and another. Now you feel like you have half a dozen needles sticking you all at the same time, and as if that wasn’t enough, you also feel something crawling on you. Not just one thing crawling on you, but multiple things. And these are not little things too, not like little bugs crawling on you. These feel big, way big, but you can’t imagine what could possibly crawling on you that’s that size. 

It can’t be a crab, or a lobster, nor can it can be a spider like a tarantula. Tarantulas have soft legs, soft feet, while these things feel hard and sharp, like whatever’s crawling on you has a hard exoskeleton and has poky legs. It can’t be a scorpion like the Emperor scorpion (Pandinus imperator) or a centipede, like the Giant centipede (Scolopendra gigantea). It doesn’t feel like it has that many legs, just around six rather than ten or twenty like a centipede. And why would you feel as if you have all these needles poking into you. What kind of creatures are these that they could be crawling on your with poky legs and could be sticking you with things that feel like needles. This isn’t your imagination, you’re not dreaming, you’re too awake and aware for this to be a dream. This is real. Something’s wrong. 

So, in a panic, you quickly pull the blankets back to see what’s on your body, and what’s going on. You grab your phone, you turn on the flashlight feature on it, and to your surprise and horror, the things that are on your body are bed bugs. Not just any bed bugs, giant bed bugs. Bed bugs the size of abalone shells, and they’re biting you. Biting you and crawling on you to find more places to bite that aren’t already occupied. You know that they told you growing up to sleep tight and not to let the bed bugs bite, but it’s a little late for that. How could this be? You think to yourself. I’ve never had bed bugs in your bed before, and certainly not ones of this size. It should be impossible for them to grow this big. But then you remember, at your work, you were helping develop a growth serum to make plants grow faster and bigger, and perhaps even  enlarge human body parts that people are interested in enlarging. Like breasts, or penises. 

The bosses who run the company you work for certainly want to use it for that purpose. But, in order for this serum to be eventually be used on humans, it has to be tested on animals first. Human trials are still a long way out. So, the head scientist on the project that you and your team were working on, decided to test it on bed bugs. He chose bed bugs because they’re some of the more durable insects. Not as durable as cockroaches, but pretty close. Some families who get bed bug infestations end up spending a fortune just to get rid of them, just to fumigate their house because bed bugs are vulnerable to heat. And when an infestation gets really bad, the only way to get rid of them is to call in an exterminator, and have them heat the house or use a heat tool to kill them. But, luckily, there are now bug sprays out there on the market specifically designed to kill bed bugs before they really get out of hand. Before an exterminator is even necessary.

So, given that, bed bugs, seemed at the time, to be the perfect test subjects. You didn’t want to test this stuff on an animal that was extremely vulnerable to any kind of chemical exposure it wasn’t used to. You want an animal that could survive the tests. That way you don’t have animal rights and animal welfare organizations jumping down your throat. But, if these were the same bed bugs that you tested the growth serum on, how did they get in your house and in your bed? Did you accidentally bring them in? Did they hitch a ride on your clothes or in your bag? And how did they grow so fast? Unless the growth serum worked that good on them that they grew to this size over the course of a few days. You have been working on this growth serum for several months now, and you’ve been testing it on the bed bugs for more than a few weeks. 

So, that was certainly more than enough time for the bed bugs to hitch a ride to your house, get in your bed, and start multiplying rapidly as bed bugs tend to do when they’re allowed to go unchecked. But, you don’t much time to really think about any of this. You’re being bitten by giant mutant bed bugs. You don’t know how long they’ve been biting you, you don’t how long you’ve been asleep. it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since you fell asleep. You feel as if you’ve only been asleep for a few minutes, but it very well could’ve been a few hours. These bed bugs could’ve been biting you all during that time, and sucking out your blood using their proboscis like a straw. Or like a syringe since their proboscis is sharp like a needle, and that’s it felt like was poking your body when they started biting you. your only concern is getting them off of your body. Given their size, they could easily drain your entire body of blood if you don’t keep off of your body. You’re not sure how blood you have left. 

So, you scream, and then kick jump out of bed, and you try to brush the bed bugs off of your body using your hands. While that works with some of them, it doesn’t work with all of them. The ones that are currently biting you are stuck to you like flies on fly paper. So, for those ones, you grab them, and pull them off of your body, no matter how painful it is. The parts where they bit you are still bleeding, your wounds are not clotting because of that saliva-like liquid that bed bugs inject into you when they bite you to keep your blood from clotting, so they can drink as much of it as they can before their bellies fill up. It’s also what makes you itch after they bite you. It’s the same thing that mosquitoes and other bloodsucking insects do whenever they bite someone and drink their blood. So, you got blood oozing out of the parts of your body where they bit you. 

But, you don’t have time to be concerned about that. So, with all these holes in your body oozing blood and large chunks of your body covered in the stuff, you start stepping on them to try to kill them. At first, it doesn’t work, the bed bug just lies on its back, wiggling its legs around trying to get back up, but once you apply a little bit more pressure, you finally manage to squish the bug, or at least you squash its belly open, causing all that blood it drank from you to spill out. Realizing just your bare feet won’t be enough to kill these bugs you grab your shoes and start crushing them with them. Using as pressure as you can, moving your shoes back and forth to really keep the bugs down, and make sure they’re crushed and dead.

Your carpet is completely covered in blood, your blood. While the bites on your body are starting clot, they’re not starting to itch, and start scratching yourself, on your legs, your torso, and your sides. But, this isn’t enough as more bed bugs by the hundreds literally burst out of your bed, and start crawling onto your body at once. You don’t have any bug spray on hand, not even bug spray specifically designed to kill bed bugs because you’ve never had a bug problem before, certainly not a bed bug problem, and certainly not a giant bed bug problem. You’ve had no need to buy and keep bug spray in your house. But, you wish you had some. You don’t have any guns either to shoot the bed bugs because you’re not much of a gun person, and you live in a relatively safe neighborhood. So, you have no real weapons at your disposal to really kill these things as they’re attacking you. 

The most you can do is just use your shoes, use your feet, and use other objects in your to room, which is exactly what you start doing. As more bed bugs get onto your body and start biting you, you pull them off, crush them with your shoes, and then you grab your lamp, unplug it, and then use that to crush them. Then with the swarm of bed bugs on the floor, you decide to take your entire bed stand, and move it around to crush them, and then you drop it on a large group of them. You do the same to your dresser. All the while, more and more keep crawling on you and biting you and sucking out more blood from you. You’re surrounded on all sides by a huge swarm of these things, they just keep coming out of your bed, like some endless stream. You feel overwhelmed, and now, you’re starting to feel weak. 

Likely from blood loss due to the bed bugs sucking out large quantities of blood from your body, and then you oozing blood from you pulling them off of your body, and the bites not clotting and continuing to bleed. You don’t know how much longer you can keep this up, but you can’t stop, or give up. You’re not dying tonight. Surviving this night would be a victory in and of itself, but if you do manage survive, you can warn the company and your fellow scientists, your fellow geneticists, about the bed bugs and they can be quickly taken care of. Perhaps, they could use flamethrowers to torch them all to death, or even detonate a decency powerful bomb inside the house to blow it up and kill the insects in a flash. Whatever the case, none of that will be possible unless you survive this night. So, you got to live, you got to keep fighting these things. If you don’t, the bed bugs might spread, and the whole neighborhood will be in jeopardy. 

So, rather than just trying to kill as many insects as you can, you instead decide to run out of the door, and close the door behind you to keep the bed bugs contained in your room, so that you can flee to the living room or the kitchen, and call for help, and warn as many people as you can about what’s going on. But, as you start running, the bed bugs realize that you’re trying to escape, and all coordinate together to start piling on top of you to keep you from getting away. You fall down to the floor from the sheer weight of these massive insects piling on top of you all at once, and a lot of them starting to bite you and suck out more of your blood. But, you get back up , and continuing moving forward. Nothing’s going to stop you, you have to get out of this room. You manage to grab the knob, you twist the knob, just as two bed bugs bite into your neck on both the right and left side, and starting drinking more of your blood from out of your neck, just like a vampire would. 

You manage to open the door, just a crack, and that’s when you fall over again, and cause the door to open a bit more. You land on the floor, but this time, you can’t get back up. There too many bed bugs on you now, and they’ve sucked out too much of your blood. You’re too weak to move now. You’re just lying on the floor, in the doorway, in your underwear, covered in your own blood. All the while, the bed bugs just continue to munch on you. Drinking all the blood in your body as if it were some kind of juice pouch. All your efforts were futile. The outside world will not be warned, and you will not survive this night. And with the door open, the bed bugs have plenty of chance to escape, and several of them start crawling out of the bedroom and elsewhere in the house. 

While the others still on your body continue to drink away until you’re completely drained and there’s no more blood for them to drink. You don’t want to accept it, but it’s coming anyway. You can’t stop it. Your eyelids start getting heavy, you keep trying to keep them open, but you can’t, they just keep closing and you try to open them up again. You feel light headed. You start losing all feeling in your body. Your eyes close for one last time, and you draw your last breath. You’re gone. It’s over, it’s all over. You don’t even perceive that you just died because all your senses have shut down, your consciousness has completely faded away. You didn’t perceive death because there’s nothing to perceive, and you lost all your senses. It’s all just black emptiness. A silent void. Nothing.

Afterword (Saturday February 21, 2026):

Well guys, I did it. I actually did it. I actually wrote an honest to god short story. It’s been a long time since I’ve written a short story, or any piece of fiction of any kind. I think the last fiction thing I ever wrote before writing this was that fan fic alternate ending I wrote to the Meru the Succubus OVA by Skuddbutt. Yes, I really did write an alternate ending to a porn 🔞, or I guess a hentai. I don’t know what it would be called, but it’s animated, you know it’s not live action porn 🔞 by any means. But, either way, I didn’t like how that ended, so I basically wrote my own ending. And that was the very last fictional thing I wrote for a long time, and was about 4 or 5 years ago. I wrote around the time that the OVA ended which was in 2022. Can you believe it’s been that long 😧? 2022 doesn’t even feel that long ago, but it is. 2023 doesn’t feel long ago either but it is. I guess when you’re an adult, time just goes by faster. When you’re a kid, things feel like they go for a long time, like years feel like an eternity when you’re a kid. But, when you’re an adult, shoot, they fly by fast. They go by so fast you don’t even get to do much of what you wanted to do. That’s why I don’t like to make New Year’s resolutions because I never end up fulfilling them. And frankly, no one else does. The only resolution I made for this year, 2026 was to just post stuff on my blog a lot more frequently because through no fault of my own, my output has decreased. 

Okay, some of it is my fault, I do get lazy, and I procrastinate a lot, but there are other factors that out of my control that prevent me from posting as frequently as I want to. Like, at the time of me writing this (Saturday February 21, 2026), our Internet 🛜 got shut off. It happens to us a lot, and the only reason why it happens is that we can’t make the payments on time. We’re way overdue on our bill, and because of them T-Mobile just shuts us off, and we’re sometimes unable to use the Internet 🛜 or make calls or text for almost a whole week. Sometimes even two weeks. I have a feeling we’re going to be without Internet 🛜 for a while because we just don’t have the money 💵 right now to pay T-Mobile to have it reactivated. That’s just how it is. We’re almost always broke, and we barely have enough to pay all our bills for the essentials (water 💦, electricity ⚡️, and gas 🔥) when my grandma gets her Social Security money 💵 the second Wednesday of every month, and buy the other things we need to live, like toilet paper or bath tissue 🧻 as my grandma prefers to call it, flushable wipes, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, Kleenex tissue, dish soap, hand soap, trash bags, things like that. 

We don’t have enough to pay for our phone service and our Internet 🛜. The phone service/data is what takes up most of our bill. The Internet 🛜 is not the problem. The problem is being able to pay to have data/service for our phones 📱. And end up paying astronomical high just to use our phones 📱 to make calls and texts. I mean, I can text other phones, as long as they’re iPhones 📱 if there’s Wi-Fi 🛜 around, but I can’t send texts to any other kind of phone. Like my grandma uses a cheap ass Samsung phone, and I can’t text her when our phones are shut off. The only people in my family I can text are the ones who have iPhones 📱, and most of that’s just my aunt because she’s the person I mostly text. I’ve been texting her a lot more now that our phones 📱 have been shut off, and I have to send her texts on behalf of my grandma for whatever she wants to tell my aunt. So, I’m pretty much acting as a middle man between the two during this time. But only when there’s Wi-Fi 🛜, when we go somewhere where there’s Wi-Fi 🛜. Usually just McDonald’s or Starbucks. Though we did get to use Wi-Fi 🛜 at Sam’s Club when we went there to buy groceries since I got my SNAP benefits that day, but we didn’t stay there that long, and my aunt didn’t even reply while we were there. I got her reply much later. 

My grandma’s pretty much counting my dad to get his lawsuit money 💵 from Keller & Keller to pretty much fix everything. Pay off all the bills, pay back all the family members who she’s had to borrow money 💵 from just to make ends meet and get things done, make additions to the house, get a new grill (either a charcoal grill or a gas grill), get a new vehicle (for me or my dad), buy me a new computer (either a new laptop 💻 or desktop 🖥️), and just whatever we need. Whatever requires money 💵, we intend to use that money 💵 for. Last time we called them, which was back in December, Keller & Keller told us that it was going to take 6 months for that money 💵 to come in. And now it’s been 2 months since we made that phone call, so only 4 months to go. Fingers crossed 🤞 we get it sooner rather than that.

So, the money issue 💵, and us not being able to pay to keep the Internet 🛜 is a factor that it totally out of my control because I don’t make any money 💵, and all the money 💵 that we do get to support ourselves comes from my grandma and her Social Security. And there’s three of us, so it’s not always enough to support us. My dad does try to make money 💵 on the side, usually by selling brownies which he bakes himself, but that’s usually not enough to do much of anything. It’s only enough to buy marijuana, which is what he mainly uses it for. He likes to use to buy marijuana because he’s a pothead. Hey, it’s better than him doing meth 🤷‍♂️, that’s how me and my grandma feel about it. And before you ask, no, the brownies my dad sells are not pot brownies 😒. They’re regular brownies with walnuts in them. Get that out of your head, this isn’t Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you’re not going to end up like Sam Witwicky’s mom if you eat one, although that movie was pretty inaccurate to the affects of marijuana from what I understand. I’ve never done marijuana, don’t want to, but from people who have done marijuana, or just know what the effects are, Revenge of the Fallen was pretty inaccurate. It would be more accurate if she was on cocaine, or meth, bath salts, or something like that. What’s a movie like Transformers doing showing drugs anyway? 

Another factor that’s out of my control and often prevents me from writing is me getting sick. I got sick twice in the month of December last year, and it greatly affected my blog post output, along with my usual laziness and procrastination. Whenever I do sick, I’ve never in the mood to write. I just want to rest, kick back, and relax until my body gets better, and I’m back to full health. Luckily, I’m not sick, so that’s good. It’s just my Internet 🛜 that’s off. I can write, it’s just that I don’t have much to write about currently. I was suppose to watch Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus 🦈🐙, that Asylum movie starring Deborah Gibson, Vic Chao, Sean Lawlor, and Lorenzo Lamas about a Megalodon 🦈 and a giant prehistoric octopus 🐙 of some kind that are frozen in some Arctic or Antarctic ice 🧊 (I think it’s Arctic ice 🧊) and then accidentally get freed, and then both each go on their own separate rampages, destroying everything they come across. They’re both kaiju sized, even though that’s pretty inaccurate to how big these animals actually were in real life millions of years ago. Megalodons 🦈 only grew to about 45, 49, or 50 feet at most, while there were no octopuses 🐙 of any kind back then that were capable of growing to a size comparable to that of a real life Megalodon 🦈, let alone one as the big as the octopus 🐙 in this movie. 

So, with these two prehistoric giants on the loose, it’s up to these three scientists 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬, including Deborah Gibson’s character, Emma MacNeil, Vic Chao’s character, Seiji Shimada (the character’s Japanese 🇯🇵 but the actor playing him is Chinese 🇨🇳, which is a practice I’m not very fond of 😤), and Sean Lawlor’s character, Lamar Sanders, to figure out a way to stop them,  especially Emma since she’s kind of responsible for letting the Megalodon 🦈 and the octopus 🐙 out of their icy tomb 🧊. I mean, it’s not technically her fault, it was actually caused by a bunch of whales 🐋 that were startled by something, I don’t remember, but she was definitely present. She was piloting a minisub along with Lamar, and saw the Megalodon 🦈 and the octopus 🐙 frozen in the ice 🧊, and saw them escape after the ice 🧊 broke. Given what the title of the movie is, you can probably figure out that the Megalodon 🦈 and the octopus 🐙 do eventually fight each other. In fact, that’s the scientists’ whole plan on how to get rid of them: get them to kill each other. And they intend to get them to do that by pretty catfishing them using pheromones to lure them towards each other, make them think that it’s a potential female of their species wanting to mate, only it turn out to be each other, through sheer sexual frustration and blue balls 🤬, fight each other to the death 🤣. 

Which is a plan that they only came up with after Emma and Seiji had sex with each other in the janitor’s closet of the military facility they were sent to and forced to work at gunpoint. I guess being forced at gunpoint to figure out a way to save the world can really make you horny. All those test tubes 🧪 and beakers are really sexy~ 😆. It’s the only time that I think of where a sex scene was genuinely plot relevant, and the characters having sex was necessary to them figuring out the solution to the problem they’re trying to solve. The conflict of the story. Deborah Gibson does look good in a lab coat 🥼 I’ll say that. BTW, while Emma does return in the third movie, Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark 🦈, Seiji does not. So, I’m wondering if they broken in-between movies, or they are still an item, and we just don’t see Seiji. Maybe he’s off doing work back in Japan 🇯🇵, or maybe he’s become a house husband, you know like a housewife, but the husband version of that, a house husband. 

So, I was supposed to watch that movie, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus 🦈🐙 on YouTube, since it’s free to watch on YouTube, The Asylum uploaded the entire thing on their official YouTube channel, and then finish writing the review that I already started writing a week ago so I can post it for my 199th post. You see, whenever I reach a milestone on my blog, I want to make it a tradition to write special posts for the 99th post and hundredth post. Like, for my 99th post and 100th post, I reviewed Deep Blue Sea and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 🧽. For my 199th post and 200th post, I had originally planned to review Anaconda (1997) and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, but neither one of those worked out as intended, so I switched to both my plan Bs, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus 🦈🐙 and The Simpsons Movie. For my 299th post and 300th post, I’m currently planning to review Komodo vs. Cobra 🐍 and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. The first review always has to be a creature feature I decided, and then the second review, the actual milestone post can be whatever I want. They’ve all been animated movies so far, but they could be anything. I didn’t intend to review two shark movies 🦈 in a row for my 99th post and 199th posts, but that’s just how it worked out 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully my 299th post and 300th post go a lot better than my 199th post and 200th post have gone so far. These two posts have delayed me so much. They’ve prevented me from posting other posts that I’ve already written, and they’ve kept me from writing more posts in the future. This will be yet another thing that I wrote in advance that I won’t be able to post until after I get these two posts done 🙄. 

I’ve straight up missed out on opportunities to write posts about certain topics that I wanted to write about that were topical at the time, but couldn’t because I waited so long to start working on these, and I kept getting delayed. Namely the post I wanted to write about the UN General Assembly 🇺🇳last year, the one where Trump made a fool out of himself and out of the entire country 🙄 and the one where everyone walked out on Benjamin Netanyahu when he showed up. It was the one where pretty much every country in the world that didn’t already recognize Palestine 🇵🇸 voted to recognize Palestine 🇵🇸 in opposition to Israel 🇮🇱’s genocidal war effort in Gaza. I also wanted to write about Gen Z anti-government protests 🪧 going on in multiple countries around that time, namely Madagascar 🇲🇬, which were the latest wave of so-called Gen Z protests 🪧 going on, and it was also going to be me speculating if something similar would happen in the US 🇺🇸 because the Trump government is becoming incredibly authoritarian and increasingly unpopular, especially amongst the youth, and we already have No Kings protests 🪧. Could the protests 🪧 we have here in the US 🇺🇸 lead to a kind of revolution where the people rise up, and topple the government in power, and install a new government in its place, one that will hopefully be much less corrupt and much more democratic. That was what I was going to discuss in that post. 

But, because neither one of those topics are relevant right now, the UN General Assembly 🇺🇳 or the Gen Z protests 🪧, I can’t really write about them anymore. I mean, I guess I could still write about the protests 🪧 because the Iranian protests 🇮🇷🪧 that started in January might still be going on, and Trump is talking about doing some kind of military action against Iran 🇮🇷 😒. Whether it’s just a few airstrikes or a full leadership decapitation like in Venezuela 🇻🇪, nobody really knows at this point, and I certainly don’t know because I currently don’t know what’s currently happening in the news. By the time I get around to it, it might already be old news (that’s an oxymoron), and it won’t even be worth writing about. The only reason I got to write that post about Venezuela 🇻🇪 is that it was the 198th post, meaning that I could have it up before my 199th post and 200th post. And now that the Internet 🛜’s shut off again, I’ll be delayed even more. I can’t watch the movie until after the Internet 🛜 gets turned back on. And I probably won’t have anything to show for the months of January and February, even though I did write stuff doing those months, including this 👇. 

At least I actually started work on my 199th post. I just wrote the intro part where I was talking about why it was taking me so long to finally start working on this or post it, the posts I wrote in advance that will go up once I finish writing this and the 200th post about The Simpsons Movie, talking why I chose to review Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus 🦈🐙 for my 199th post instead of Anaconda (1997) like I originally wanted, and airing some dirty laundry about how I was feeling stressed 😣 because I fundamentally disagree with my aunt on politics (she leans right, I lean left, she likes Trump, I do not) and how to square that with my love for her. How can I reconcile still loving my aunt with having such a fundamentally disagreement over our values. But, I talked about it with her, and now I feel much better. We still disagree, but we’re okay with that. That’s life, you don’t have to agree with everyone in your family on politics to still love them, as long as they aren’t being abusive to you or being awful in anyway. 

As long as they continue to love, respect, and support you as family should, that’s all that matters. But, I still think that if push came to shove, and Trump’s policies started to more directly negatively affect her and her family, she’d flip on him. That’s the kind of person she is. If you hurt her family, if you hurt the people she cares about, she’s done with you, you’ve made an enemy out of her. I know this not just because I know her personality, but also because she’s not full MAGA 🇺🇸. She’s not a full Trump cultist, she is capable of changing her mind if things change and harm starts to come to her family. And frankly I hope she does change her mind one day. Hopefully without any harm coming to her or her family. But, if she doesn’t change her mind, then we’ll just have to continue to agree to disagree. Hopefully, we’ll still be able to that in the next two years. If Trump has his way and becomes a dictator, we won’t be. 

The only part of that post I haven’t written is the actual review part, the part where I actually talk about the film. And I won’t be able to write that part until after our Internet 🛜 and phone service gets restored. But, it will come I promise. If this is up on the blog, then you know that it came. So, in the mean time, I don’t have much to write about. I guess I could review Riddick (2013), but I don’t quite reviewing that yet. If the Internet 🛜 is off for as long as I’m thinking it will be. Maybe I will, but right now, I want to focus on this. I have written notes for other future reviews, things to remember to write about, but I still have to work on them, and add stuff to them, and I can’t until I have access to the Internet 🛜 or to Wi-Fi 🛜 of some kind. So, I thought, “Why not write a short story? I’ve got nothing else better to do, and I’ve been planning to write more stories, and I never ended up doing it. It’s better to just do it now, when you have an idea than just keep waiting for the right moment because you’ll never get it. The right moment is now.” 

So, after reading this, you might be wondering, why bed bugs? Well because my grandma got bed bugs in her bed 🛏️. She discovered them in December, and she had to throw out her old mattress, and then has to use an air mattress that my aunt provided for her to use temporarily until she can get a new mattress. Then, I started finding some bed bugs here and there on my bed 🛏️, but I could never find where they were coming before. I checked my mattress and my box spring and there’s no obvious nests like there were in my grandma. I even used an iron to draw out the bed bugs, and nothing appeared. But, these damn bugs kept appearing on my blankets, mainly my top blanket. We bought some bug spray yesterday (Friday February 20, 2026) that’s specifically designed to kill bed bugs, it’s by the Ortho brand, which is what part I wrote in the story was about the bug spray specifically designed to kill bed bugs, or keep them away. That’s what I was referring to. I sprayed it on my bed 🛏️, as well as around my bed 🛏️, and it seems to have worked. I haven’t spotted a single one since spraying that stuff on there. 

My dad is supposed to help me move my bed 🛏️ so that we can vacuum the carpet underneath and around the bed 🛏️ because one of the things I remember the Wikipedia page said about keeping bed bugs away is to vacuum your carpet as frequently as you can. As well as washing your clothes and bedding in hot water 💦 as frequently as you can. I used to wash my blankets, pillow cases, and my sheet more frequently than I do now. I used to pretty much wash them every week. But, I stopped doing that because I didn’t want to use up the detergent and softener. So, I switched to washing my blankets once a month. But now it looks like I’ll have to start washing them on a weekly or biweekly basis from now on until these bed bugs are completely gone. We think the bed bugs came from my dad because he kept bringing in stuff that he got from the transfer station, which is the closest thing, or was the closest thing (since they shut it down) to a landfill we have on the Acoma Reservation. He was a full on dumpster diver, and he would just bring back and keep things from the transfer station that at least looked in good shape and was still usable. Well, some of that stuff probably had bed bugs on it, and that’s how they spread to my grandma’s room and then to my room, kind of.

So, while all this was going on, I was inspired to write a story about bed bugs, because no one makes movies about bed bugs. They certainly don’t write stories about them. And I thought that would be interesting to see. Bed bugs would make for interesting creatures for creature features I thought. And that’s what this story is, it’s a throwback or homage to 1990s or 2000s creature features, theatrical or direct-to-DVD 📀. That’s how I saw it, and that’s how I approached writing it. It would be a dream come true to have this story adapted into a movie, hopefully after I expand on it in a novella or something. Hopefully they’d bring me on to work on the screenplay. Plus, bed bugs are an insect that no one likes, so people could get behind the idea of them being portrayed as monsters out to get us, because it already feels like they’re out to get us. And because no one really likes bed bugs, no one will have an issue with you killing them in your story, even if the character in my story didn’t succeed in killing them. 

It would be fun to see this get turned into a movie because when you have the characters kill the bed bugs, you can have blood 🩸 come out of them from all the people they sucked dry (not like that). You’d get use a lot of fake blood 🩸 on set. Possibly use more fake blood 🩸 than Iron Lung even, which set the record for having the most amount of fake blood 🩸 used on a single film. That’s kind of what happens when you make a movie that takes place in a literal blood ocean 🩸, an ocean made out of blood 🩸. But, with this, we’d be dealing with giant insects that drink blood 🩸, and ooze blood 🩸 after you shoot them and kill them, and there are hundreds or thousands of them. Of course, I had to make the bed bugs giant sized, way bigger than normal to make them more of a threat. Because if they were just normal sized bed bugs, they wouldn’t be much of a threat, nor would they? They’d be pretty easy to deal with, not that regular sized bed bugs are that easy to deal with, they’re a bitch to deal with, but compared to giant bed bugs, which can actually kill you just from draining all your blood 🩸 out of your body, they’re a lot easier. 

I used abalone shells as the point of comparison for the size because I watch a lot of Iron Chef episodes, and abalone is a commonly used ingredient on that show, and was used as a theme ingredient in at least one episode. And abalone shells are pretty big, bigger than a person’s hand, and I thought that’d be the perfect size to make the giant bed bugs in this to make them more of a threat without making them too big. I didn’t want the bed bugs to be human-sized, I wanted the bed bugs to be way bigger than normal bed bugs but also small enough to actually swarm over the person, and cover them up like the Scarab beetles 🪲 in The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (although the Scarabs 🪲 are only at the beginning of that movie, and they immediately get torched by guys wielding flamethrowers 🔥), although the bed bugs in my story are a lot bigger than the Scarab beetles 🪲 in those movies. BTW, that’s also what that line about using flamethrowers 🔥 to kill the bed bugs was a reference, it was a reference to The Mummy Returns when the Imhotep cultists kill the swarm of Scarabs 🪲 that rose up from the ground, and started attacking the diggers trying to find Imhotep’s remains so that they can resurrect him (again) so he can fight the Scorpion King 🦂 and claim the Army of Anubis for himself to use to take over the world. And also I just think flamethrowers 🔥 would be the most obvious weapon to use against giant bed bugs, besides guns of course.  

I really hope that I got the science right about bed bugs. I based all of what I wrote how the bed bugs operate on things I’ve heard from people I know in my daily life, and I stuff that I read online. If anything’s wrong, then I’ll go back and edit it to make the bed bugs facts are correct. Of course, I’ll have to go back edit in the species name of the giant centipede, which is the largest species of centipede, that either lives in South America or in Asia, as well as the name of the largest species of scorpions 🦂, because I couldn’t think of it when I was writing it, and I don’t have the Internet 🛜 right now to go back and check. Hopefully, all of that will be in order by the time this goes up. As for why I chose to write this story in the second person, it’s because I write a lot of my notes for future reviews or future posts in the second person. Like I’m telling myself to do this or write that, or joke about this, or remark about that. So, I felt I had enough experience and confidence to write something fully in the second person. Every story that I ever wrote before was in the third person. I had never wrote a story in the second person before, or even in the first person. 

It was always kind of hard me to write a story in the first person without it just sounding like me. I don’t want it to sound like me, I don’t want it to sound like I’m the character in the story and I’m narrating, I want to sound different and distinct. Like someone completely different from myself. I don’t like writing self insert characters. I try to make every character different from myself. That includes even making them different races, ethnicities, or even nationalities from me. I’ll occasionally throw in a quality about myself into a character, but I don’t want to go too far with it where it’s just a self-insert. I’m not writing an autobiography here. A lot of authors get caught up writing characters that are too much like themselves, especially in science fiction. A lot of characters in science fiction novels 📖, especially in older sci-fi novels 📖 tend to just be the author but more handsome and more badass. I don’t want that for my stories. I want to make every character different from me, and have their own personalities, wants, and desires, likes, and dislikes. Their own histories and pasts. That’s how I think. And I tried to do that here to the best of my ability.

I also wanted to write the story in second person so that the reader could insert themselves into the story, and feel as if this was happening to them. They were being attacked by giant bed bugs in their bedrooms. That’s why I started it off so mundane, describing the character’s nighttime routine, how they get ready for bed 🛏️. I tried to be a bit vague and nondescript with that so that the reader could imagine their own nighttime routine while they were reading it. The tongue scraping thing 👅 was something I added because it is something that I’ve heard about online, from seeing a clip from Holly Randall’s podcast, where one of her guests, a pornstar 🔞 (since most of the people that Holly interviews on her show are pornstars 🔞), was talking about how she scrapes her tongue 👅 and how she would never kiss someone 😘 who didn’t scrape their tongue 👅 also. And I have been curious about trying it, although, unlike the character in the story, I haven’t the courage to actually try it for myself. I don’t want to hurt myself by doing it wrong or doing it too rough. And the sleeping naked thing was something I added because that is something that I actually do every night, I really do sleep 😴 in the nude. Even if the character in the story doesn’t do it, I do it. It’s way more comfortable for me that way, trust me, you should give it a try too sometime. You’ll thank me later. And I wrote that that line about being a “part time nudist” or a “nudist by night” because I thought it sounded funny 😆. 

Because that is essentially what those of us who do sleep 😴 in the nude are in a way, we’re part time nudists, or we’re nudists by night. Of course, every nudist in a way is part time nudist in a way because they eventually have to go to work, or they have to do something in public, and they can’t show up naked even if it’s their disposition to do so. They eventually have to put clothes on to do much of anything. The only time they actually get to be naked is in their home, or at specific nudist functions, like nudist beaches 🏖️ or nudist camps, or just nudist get-togethers in parks reserved for that function ahead of time. So, the best way to describe people like myself who do sleep 😴 in the nude is “nudists by night.” Although I personally have to put on my shorts 🩳 to get up to use the bathroom 🚽 at night so no one sees my naked body while I’m walking to and from the bathroom 🚽. But, if I were living alone, or if I was living with a romantic partner ❤️ who didn’t care, or who was actually okay of what I was doing, and actually championed it 😙👍, or even did it themselves, I wouldn’t bother. I’d just walk over to the bathroom 🚽, use it, and then walk back to my bedroom completely naked, without a care in the world. 

I tried to be as vague about the description of the character as I possibly could, not really saying what the gender of the character is, what their race or ethnicity was, or even what their house really looked like. Of course I had to say what the character’s job was, what their occupation was to provide some kind of explanation for why the bed bugs are so big and how they got into their house. I basically came up with the idea that they were a scientist, and they were working on an experimental growth serum. And they were testing it on bed bugs because of their durability, they could see what effects this serum has on them without them potentially dying. And the main character accidentally brought some of these test bed bugs back with them. They got into their bed, multiplied like crazy, formed nests, and then just kept growing until they were the size of abalone shells. And then they kill the main character (of this story at least), and then are left roam free throughout their house, and eventually escape spread to the rest of the neighborhood, which is where the story would go from there if this were longer story. 

I wasn’t quite sure about the growth serum explanation while I was writing it. I didn’t fully buy it, and I still don’t, but I couldn’t really think of another way for these bed bugs to grow so big, and explain why someone would create them, either on purpose or accidental. And I’m the kind of person who needs explanations for things, especially for things like this that are otherwise implausible in the real world. I can’t go into a story with no explanation for things happen or why they’re like that, no sir, or ma’am. So, I just went with it, and I told myself that it’s okay, this is a sci-fi horror story. You’ve seen dumber explanations for things in other creature features, some of which had big budgets or at least mid budgets behind them. No one complain too much that the bed bugs were created by being experimented on with a growth serum. I was even thinking of a steroid or like a gene therapy 🧬 to create super soldiers or something like that, like a super soldier serum basically. Like, maybe the scientist tested the super soldier serum on themself, injected it into themself 💉, and then some ordinary bed bugs that they didn’t know they had bites them, and gets mutated by the serum inside of their blood 🩸, causing them to grow to gigantic size. But I decided not to go with that. If I ever revisit this story, or I ever expand upon it in a novella 📖 or a novel 📖, I might change the explanation. But if not, I’ll just keep it as growth serum. Maybe work out the fine details. 

This story is ultimately one scene. While this  is enough to make up an entire short story, it would just be one scene within a larger story if this were a longer story. It’s not out of the ordinary for short stories to be just be one scene, I mean the original short story that The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was based on was just that one scene where the Beast (what would later be known as the Rhedosaurus once Ray Harryhausen got involved in the film) attacks the lighthouse. That’s it. When they adapted it into a film, they expand upon that story, that scene, to explain what that creature is, where it came from, why did it attack the lighthouse, and does it do after it destroys the lighthouse? And the way I look at it is that in a longer story, this would be the opening kill. The scene that establishes the creature, or creatures, of the story as a threat by having them kill someone at the beginning of the story. Usually an innocent bystander who didn’t deserve it. It’s just like the opening scene of Jaws, where that girl gets killed by the shark 🦈 at the very beginning. 

It’s the same rule in a slasher films, you open the movie with a kill so that the audience gets to some carnage, to establish the tone of the movie and satisfy the audience’s craving for movie violence, and so that the audience understands how much of a threat the killer is, and difficult it will be for our actual main characters to take down. In this case, the first victim here is one of the scientists responsible for creating the giant bed bugs in the first place. So there’s a bit of Frankenstein in this story, where the scientist is killed by their own creation, or their own creation turns against them. I don’t know how short a story has to be for it qualify as a short story, and how it long it has to be before it’s no longer considered a short story, and is considered more of a longer form story like a novella 📖 or a novel 📖. I’m kind of learning this as I go. But, I think that my story is short enough and also long enough for it to be a short story, and that’s what I will categorize it on my blog. I’m going to create a section on my blog specifically for short stories, as well as long form stories if and when I start writing them. If I get the idea, or if I find the time or the motivation to it, I will write more short stories and they will go in that section that you will be able to easily find and access. 

Hopefully I end up writing enough short stories to where I can compile them together and then publish them in a book 📖 that I can then sell at book stores, online and brick and mortar. It would be awesome if you could find my short stories in a book 📖 that you could find in the local New Mexico section at Barnes & Noble if you live in Albuquerque, and visit the two Barnes & Nobles we have in Albuquerque. That’s why I didn’t include any emojis in the actual story itself. I resisted the urge to put emojis in there because I’m thinking that this story could end up in a book 📖 someday, and I didn’t have emojis in the actual text because that would look so improper. That’s why I felt relieved when I got to this afterword, and then I could just use as many emojis as I wanted because it’s me writing this, and I’m mostly writing this part for my blog audience. If the story does get published in a book 📖 someday, and I decide to include this afterword, I’ll take the emojis out. I don’t know if I would change the title of the story if I published it in a book 📖, or I adapted it into a novella 📖 or novel 📖. I think the title works with it being Bed Bugs, it gets straight to the point and tells the reader exactly what it’s about.

If I did expand upon this in a novella 📖 or a novel 📖, maybe I could change the title to something like Bloodsuckers 🩸, or Sheets, or Blankets, and keep the title of the short story the same. I don’t know I think I’d still keep it Bed Bugs because it fits the story so perfectly, and there’d be no mistaking this story for any other story because no one really writes stories about bed bugs. Giant or otherwise. But, that tagline is amazing, I came up with it myself: “Don’t let them bite.” Which is of course inspired by the thing parents always tell their kids when they tuck them into bed, “Sleep tight 😴, don’t let the bed bugs bite.” You probably heard that at some point in your life when you were a kid. Your parents probably told that to you when you tucked you into bed 🛏️. It’s such a perfect twisting of that saying because now there are bed bugs for real, and they’re big enough to actually kill you. So, don’t let them bite. 

In the mean, at least I finally wrote a short story. Every time I go to a family gathering of some kind, like a party 🥳 of some kind, a graduation reception or a birthday party 🥳, my other family members always ask me if I’ve been writing any new stories because they know I’m a writer and I used to write a lot of stories. And I usually told them “no,” and that I’ve been writing movie reviews, and that’s the truth, that is mostly what I’ve been writing about, as well as writing about entertainment news, video games, cartoons, anime, politics, history, and culture. Anything I feel like really. Well now, when they ask that question, I can tell them, “Yes, I did write a new story. It’s about giant killer bed bugs.” I’d like to see the looks on their faces when I tell them that 😟 🤣. Also, you might be wondering how I personally envisioned the character in the story while I was writing it given how I intentionally made it vague to where the character could be anyone the reader wanted them to be. Well, beyond being a scientist, I envisioned the character as a woman ♀︎. I don’t know why, I just couldn’t picture this character being a man ♂︎ while I was writing this. Maybe I just like the idea of a female scientist 👩‍🔬.

Update (Saturday May 9, 2026): 

💵


There are few things that I mentioned in the note above the story and in the afterword that have changed that I want to mention. We did get the money 💵 and we did pay off the phone bill, but we got off of T-Mobile and switched back to Verizon because T-Mobile was charging us too much, and was lying to us about how how we would have to pay each month for our phone and Internet service 🛜. I say “switched back” because we’ve had Verizon before but we switched a long time ago to AT&T before switching to T-Mobile, and all of it due to cost. Cost is the biggest issue when it comes to phone and Internet service 🛜. We’ll try it out for three years, and if it doesn’t work out, then we’ll probably switch to another provider. I don’t know which since we’ve tried all of them at this point, the three big ones. I guess we could try Mint Mobile, the phone and Internet provider 🛜 that Ryan Reynolds has been promoting. 

But hey, at least I got a new phone 📱. I upgraded from an iPhone 14 📱 to an iPhone 17 📱, and my grandma upgraded from her cheap ass Samsung phone also to an iPhone 17 📱. I got the Sage Green color and she got the Mist Blue color because they only had one of the Sage Green and I wanted it, so she settled with the Mist Blue. It’s still a nice color, but she really wanted Sage Green, I could tell. Maybe next time when we upgrade. I don’t know what the colors of the next iPhone 📱 will, but hopefully, they’ll have enough of whatever color my grandma wants when we upgrade. But, I still do like my new phone 📱 😁. It’s a huge upgrade from my previous phone 📱 in almost every conceivable way. And of course, me being my anti-AI self, I disabled the AI as soon as I activated my new phone 📱 and had everything transferred over from my old phone 📱. 

She got her protective case already, but I’m still waiting on mine to come in since I ordered it off of Redbubble since they have some nice phone cases designed by actual human artists…most of the time. AI is starting to creep up into Redbubble too 😒. I hope they actually stand by their artists and put policies in place to penalize people for trying to sell stuff that was made in any way with AI, or large language models (LLMs) as they should be more accurately called. Because this is their livelihood, this is how a lot of artists make a living by selling merchandise based on artwork that they created. Though given Redbubble’s a tech company, and every tech company it seems is falling victim to the AI virus, I kind of doubt it 😒. 

The bottomline is, as of the time of this update, I have Internet 🛜 again, and I’ve been able to work on my blog again and post all of my posts, including this one. Increase my 2026 output by a significant margin. This of course means that I did finish my 199th post and 200th posts, they’re up on my blog now and you can read them if you wish by clicking these links 🔗: My Thoughts on Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus 🦈🐙 and My Thoughts on The Simpsons Movie. I also did review Riddick (2013), and you can read it by clicking this link 🔗 right here: My Thoughts on Riddick (2013). Speaking of links 🔗, I provided links to a couple of the videos I mentioned in this post (in both the note and afterwords) including the clip from Holly Randall’s podcast and the podcast review of The Fifth Element by Gen Wars. As well as a link 🔗 to that fan fic alternate ending I wrote for Meru. 

When I was getting the link 🔗 to that to put in the post, I say that I had two fan fic stories related to Meru, and I was confused 😕. I thought maybe DeviantART was just showing me two of the same post, but no, I turns out I wrote another Meru fan fic before I wrote the alternate ending. It was about Meru being in detention after the fourth episode, where she had sex with all those guys ♂︎ in the locker room. Because the fifth and final episode of that OVA doesn’t show what she did in detention, just that she was there, she got bored and escaped. But, I fleshed it out, and added a new character that I came up with for Meru to interact with while she was in detention. I hope Blogger doesn’t give me any trouble about providing links 🔗 to those stories because there’s nothing pornographic 🔞 in them. They’re pretty clean and SFW because it’s all the story that’s in-between all the sex scenes. The things that make it a hentai. None of that’s in there, it’s just the story in-between and after. So please, I beg you Blogger 🙏, do not age restrict this post. Whoever’s in charge of your moderation team, and has to review this stuff to see if it’s within the terms of service, I am following the rules here. But, if it’s an algorithm or an AI in charge of that, and not actual human beings, I’m fucked. If I have any trouble with that, then I’m sorry I’ll have to remove the links 🔗 on my blog at least. But, here’s the link to the Detention one.
