Movie

Rain!  I guess it is the wet season and it should be expected.  But there has been so much.  No wonder it is said “a land of drought and flooding rains.”  I expect both, but I am not used to them together like they are now.
I love the rain and we need it, but I may need to see a psychologist.  Some may suggest that is overdue despite the reasons I cite.  But it is the yard worms.  They seem to have a death wish.  They often realize too late that cement is not their natural environment.  But it is ok as I am here to rescue them.  But I am over it.  There have just been so many.  I opened the garage door and there was a heap of them.  A plethora in fact.  Not a heap as in piled high working on the door locking mechanism, but a lot.
But that was just the start.  Seems I only needed to turn my back and there were more worms making their way across the cement.  Seeing dried and shrivelled up worms tells me that is a dangerous thing for a worm to do.  I encourage Merril to give them mouth to mouth but so far, she has refused.
I am thinking of making a movie.  If Alfred Hitchcock could do Crows, I reckon I could do Worms.  The poster would be in some earth-shattering font.
The first scene would be someone running along a dimly lit dirt path at night, often looking back like they were being pursued.  Then they would trip and scream from on the ground as a circle of worms around them would approach.
The next scene would be the next day and have a forensic person all suited up and estimating the time of death.  The morgue scene would show someone declaring they had never seen anything like it.  The xrays would reveal no broken bones but an examination of the body would show multiple lacerations.
That would fade out and the story of the investigation would begin.  The next scene would have an aerial shot of Burpengary with writing that says BURPENGARY 2020.  Then it would go to me sitting at my computer all innocent like.  The next scene would go to a place in our yard just below the surface, showing worms hatching a plan.
I would get famous worms to play parts to give the story credibility.  I must admit I cannot recognise a good-looking worm.  The absence of posters does not help.  Finding the villain worm would be easier as their name would be dirt already.
Anyway, the plan would be built around me visiting the rain gauge.  As they would be to the right of my path, they would create a diversion.  The chief villain worm would suggest another worm emerge and do handstands.  A worm doing hand stands when it does not have hands would be sure to get my attention.  I would, still all innocent like, approach and bend down for a closer look.  I would not have a clue what was emerging on mass behind me.
It’s a work in progress.  I am just glad I am sitting here screened in.  There are so many maraurding worms out there.
