He Let the Bed Bugs Bite, a Conclusion

Jeremy thoroughly did not like the idea of sleeping in a cabin with bed bugs. Shortly after Jeremy had awoken, Aaron the Spindster awoke to discover that his bed was crawling with the horrible pests as well. Jeremy quickly threw his bedding out onto the cabin’s front porch and gathered up his things. After a thorough inspection of his belongings before packing them up, Jeremy left the cabin in search of another place to sleep.

Jeremy walked to the car where he had decided to spend the night. It was already close to 4 a.m. and he was by now quite tired. Although the car wasn’t very comfortable, he decided it was much better than sleeping with dozens of small insects stabbing his flesh and using his blood as a beverage. He lay awake for a long time, exhausted yet somehow not quite able to sleep. A few days later he found out that apparently Jared Etherton had been asleep in a tree nearby. Luckily he did not know this at the time or there would have been a very great temptation to do something to the poor lad. He eventually fell asleep and had a short nap before waking up when the sun rose.

Later that day, the resident entomologist, Sarah, confirmed the reportings of bed bugs and collected samples for analysis. Why anyone would want a sample of a blood-sucking creature Jeremy was not sure, but she informed him that it would have a fairly quick death. Jeremy would have preferred a long, drawn-out death because he felt that the insects deserved it for their horrendous and unjust actions against his very precious blood.

After arriving home that evening, the great purging began. The cauldrons bubbled and boiled as the hot steaming water flushed out and destroyed any bed bugs or eggs hiding in Jeremy’s belongings. He could hear their tiny screams coming from his clothes and baggage as he dunked it into the steaming water, but he cared not. They had started this war, and he was going to kill them all.

Was Jeremy successful? Did he win against the bed bugs? He certainly hopes so.
