The sun rose over the satellite dish on the neighbor's mobile home,
and flooded the living room of Swegs' 1976 12 wide. His head was on
the keyboard of his computer. He began to wake. The foam from his lips
had dripped into the keys during his sleep. He rubbed his eyes, put on
his horn-rimmed glasses, and tried to get back on-line. He
couldn't-the spittle had frozen the keys, and paralyzed the mouse.
He got up, and tucked his filthy T-shirt into his coffee stained
sweatpants. He walked slowly to the windows of the 12 wide, over the
bodies of dozens of insects that once were his pets—live healthy
beings destroyed by his increasing neglect of anything but his
obsession with trolling.
At the window, he began to sob. "How could the God that makes
creatures
as beautiful as the Borrellia make people as repulsive as those Lyme
Loonies?"
He dried his eyes and reflected on his lost career. "I could
have won the Nobel Prize. Well, maybe I could'a got nominated. I
could'a been Somebody, I could'a been a Contender."
He tried to think positive, like his Therapist had advised him.
"I'll call Allen." In reality, even Allen didn't talk to him any more.
Then he fell into a heap, on the floor, next to his beloved little
friends. Another day in the hellish existence of the once promising
micro-biologist had begun.
