Hovering Just Over the Shoulder


It's hard to get used to the stares.  In stores, in restaurants, even in my own neighborhood, if I don't keep the curtains drawn.  No one sits next to me on the bus, as though it were contagious.

...

It isn't.  Stop looking at me like that.  At the very least, it won't be hungry until it finishes what it's eating, okay?

...

It's one of those evolutionary quirks, I guess.  If you've got limited resources, then the slower you metabolize, the longer they last, right?

...

I dunno.  I'm no expert.  It's not like I asked to get bitten by a timesnake...
