\chapter{The Mosquito of Death}

|
|
Luke Bavarious stumbled slowly through the New York City alley,
|
|
gently swatting the mosquitoes away from his skin with the butt of
|
|
his beretta. It was a hot and humid night, and the blood-suckers
|
|
were relentless in their pursuit of delicious, sticky human blood.
|
|
His delicious blood was made even more delicious after drinking
|
|
four Coors in a nearby bar. The mosquitoes knew it was delicious
|
|
and that Bavarious was too drunk to defend himself properly. Or so
|
|
they thought.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As Bavarious continued to wade through the refuse and urine-soaked
|
|
mattresses strewn about the alleyway, the mosquitoes became
|
|
ravenous. They swarmed him in droves, and he began frantically
|
|
waving his trusty beretta around, squishing the lowly bugs into a
|
|
mess of guts and recently-consumed human blood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suddenly Bavarious vomited. The alcohol had finally gotten to him,
|
|
and he spewed out chunks of peanuts and pretzels, mixed with beer.
|
|
He puked so hard he began puking blood out of his mouth. The blood
|
|
and vomit cocktail splattered to the ground, forming a vile and
|
|
horrid river of bodily fluids. If only he had listened to his young
|
|
son, Timmy, and stayed home that night, instead of going out and
|
|
drinking Coors, none of this would have happened.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mosquitoes began to fly away from Bavarious. He thought in his
|
|
drunken mind that they were giving up, and that he would be able to
|
|
continue on his walk home, while the insects pursued more
|
|
easily-caught prey. Bavarious was wrong. Dead wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bavarious tripped over a rotting pile of dog feces, and landed
|
|
face-first onto the asphalt. As he raised his head, blood spurted
|
|
from his broken nose in every direction. Bavarious used all his
|
|
manly strength to pull himself up, and when he looked up, he saw
|
|
all the mosquitoes joining together, like a giant mosquito army, in
|
|
a frenzy due to the delectable scent of his flowing blood. They
|
|
grew in number, and eventually a million mosquitoes joined forces
|
|
and swarmed together. They began to morph into one hideous
|
|
creature. One giant mosquito! The most humongous mosquito ever
|
|
recorded in the history of mankind. A gargantuan travesty of a
|
|
beast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not to be deterred by this horrendous creature, Bavarious screamed at the
|
|
top of his lungs, ``{\bf Evil-doer! Villain! You do not frighten
|
|
me!}'' As he screamed, flecks of spittle mixed with the
|
|
still-running blood from his broken nose, only attracting the giant
|
|
mosquito more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The giant mosquito, the size of Bavarious at least, stood up on its
|
|
back two legs like a human, to do battle with Bavarious. Its long,
|
|
pointed proboscis inched closer to him, yearning for the sweet
|
|
taste of human blood. Luke Bavarious unholstered his beretta and
|
|
let loose a torrent of bullets that merely ricocheted off the giant
|
|
mosquito's hard insect body. {\em This is no ordinary
|
|
mosquito}, Bavarious thought to himself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The massive insect lunged forward and sunk its sword-like
|
|
blood-sucking mouth-nose into Bavarious' neck. Bavarious
|
|
screamed in agony as blood flowed from his wound like a red rapid.
|
|
The pain caused him to lose control of all bodily functions. He
|
|
writhed in agony as the pain caused him to puke up the remnants of
|
|
his pretzels and peanuts, mixed with beer and the bile left over in
|
|
his stomach. He felt particularly uncomfortable as his bladder and
|
|
bowels emptied into the camouflage fatigues he wore. His apparel
|
|
was filthy. He was reduced to a slithering, screaming shell of a
|
|
man, covered in excrement, urine and vomit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mosquitobeast had had enough. It pulled its sucker from
|
|
Bavarious' neck with a wet, slimy burp. Bavarious watched in
|
|
pain, as the mosquito slowly turned and began to walk away, unable
|
|
to fly because it was so filled up with his beer-blood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, a white light beamed down on Bavarious. He squinted from
|
|
the blinding light, and could vaguely see the shadow of a man in
|
|
the light, far, far away. As the shadow-man moved closer, Bavarious
|
|
felt that he looked familiar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Grand-nd-pa?!'' he said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Yes. It is me, Luke Bavarious. Your grandfather: Brock
|
|
Bavarious. I am here to help.''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Soundlessly, Grandpa Brock showed Bavarious how to slay the beast.
|
|
And as quickly as he appeared, he was gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bavarious mustered up the last of his strength and stood up. He
|
|
slowly stalked the giant mosquito and lunged forward, clinging to
|
|
the creature's back, like a child riding piggy-back on the
|
|
back of a man. As the mosquito let out an eardrum-bursting roar,
|
|
Bavarious grabbed its giant proboscis and yanked it hard. The
|
|
proboscis broke off and the creature's power was drained. Its
|
|
only way of eating was destroyed. It crumpled to the ground,
|
|
writhing in a puddle of its own blood mixed with the blood of all
|
|
of the victims of the millions of mosquitoes that made up this
|
|
disgusting creature. After a few seconds of painful screaming, the
|
|
creature died.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bavarious didn't want to take any chances, so he raised the
|
|
broken-off proboscis and stabbed the mosquito right through its
|
|
insect heart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``You suck,'' he said, as he hobbled away, ready to get
|
|
home and get some sleep.
