Day three: The alien embryos growing in my lungs appear to be becoming more active. I can occasionally feel them kicking the insides of my ribs, and they have a tendency to squirm when I drink hot tea. I am subsisting on Cinnamon Life and fruit salad.
The end is near.
However, I have the wow death brownies from tamnonlinear, who is hereby invited to the OMGWTFBBQ, if cpolk and I ever get around to actually putting it together.
Even the alien embryos seem to like them.
