The soldier is a type of black spider-lady: she has six incredible flexible limbs covered in sharp barbs that are made for climbing and cutting and tearing. She has body armor and her face is hidden behind a breathing mask. She has no eyes. She has no mouth. She has no nose or nostrils. She can and will climb up walls and into your windows, and when she gets close enough, she'll tear your face off your skull and lay her eggs into your brain and she'll go on her merry way, so that a few days later your body will dissolve into a puddle of stinking goo. In that goo all your organs will rot and melt, and all of your muscles and tendons will all turn into mush, and all your bones will crack and shatter and melt. And the day after that, the maggots will hatch, and they'll be about the size of housecats, so that as they writhe and squirm they'll look like a living and breathing ruin of your body. They'll slither and slide through each other's bodies, and they'll eat each other, and eventually, there will be only one left: the largest and most clever out of all of them. And that maggot will burrow down into the earth and it will bioluminesce in the dark, and a few days later the light will begin to pulse and strobe, and eventually, in a flash of light, that maggot will explode into a swarm of a million flies. They'll buzz and zoom, they'll disperse in all different directions, and in a few weeks, they'll lay their own eggs in a thousand different locations, and the entire process will repeat itself.<br>The government came up with an anti-suicide bill, in which no government lethal agents are allowed to be used with intent to commit suicide. The best they could give this idiot is a pill that, when ingested, kills you, and then dissolves your body into a puddle of goo that all your organs and muscle and bone melt into. And then, a few days after that, maggots will hatch from that goo, and the largest and cleverest maggot will survive to burrow down into the earth and grow larger and larger as it bioluminesces in the dark. And eventually, it will explode, and from that explosion, a million flies will pour forth from the earth, like eruption from a great zombie volcano. The flies would lay their eggs in a thousand different locations, and in a few more weeks, the whole process will repeat itself.<br>But at the very end of that entire process, you wake up in a beautiful forest, surrounded by trees and water and all the plants and animals of the earth, and sun shining down on you. And you wake up exactly how you were in life, except that you would have no tongue, no eyes, no nose, no face. You would be just a brain inside a skull, and you would have no limbs or muscles by which to interact with the world. You have nothing with which to eat the food, or to drink the water, to breathe the air. You would live for the rest of eternity like this, in a peaceful forest, surrounded by beauty and wonder that you would have no way of experiencing or enjoying. You would be in a perfect place, where nothing could ever hurt you, and you would be completely unable to participate. You would be locked in your own skull, unable to see or hear or walk or taste or touch, alone and isolated and perfectly happy for the rest of time.<br>This idiot swallows that pill and dies, and his body dissolves into goo, and it rots and melts in the sun, and it gets eaten by ants and worms and other animals, and they shit out what they can't digest, and they die, and they get eaten themselves, and eventually, a few days later, a thousand maggots hatch. They slither through each other's skin, and eventually the largest maggot burrows down into the earth, where it goes through a process of metamorphosis, and then the maggot explodes in a blast of a million flies. The flies disperse, and the few that survive go on to lay their eggs, and a few weeks later, the whole process repeats itself. But only one of those maggots was the cleverest maggot: the one that hatched from the man who swallowed the pill. And as the process repeats itself, generation after generation, the cleverest maggot keeps getting cleverer and cleverer, and soon it's so clever, it knows it used to be a man, who took a pill to commit soldier. And it falls in love with a girl-maggot, and she also remembers a former life, because she's also the cleverest maggot in her line, reborn a thousand times in a thousand generations. They're the Cleverest of them all, and they love each other so much, they dig down deeper into the earth than any other maggots have ever gone. And they have a little baby-maggot, and they teach it the best ways to be clever, and then they explode into a swarm of flies.<br>These flies disperse, and soon, they find places to lay their eggs, and more generations go by, and the maggots get cleverer and cleverer. They learn to communicate with each other. And they begin to build great underground cities, with complex mazes and tunnels. And they begin to form their own society. They begin to build their own civilization. And they begin to forget all about you.<br>And so many years later, one of them discovers you, in the beautiful peaceful forest, and they think you're an imposter, and they think you're a deity, come to visit them and see how things are. And they try to communicate with you, but you don't have any way to respond. You can't hear them. You can't see them. You can't talk to them. You can't smell them. You can't even feel them. And you're so overcome with joy that you have nothing to say or see or hear or smell or feel with, that you start to shake and tremble and laugh.<br>And they try to talk to you some more, but you start to roll and laugh and cry, and they don't know what to do, and eventually, you start to heal. You start to repair your own body. And you start to sprout new limbs, and new muscles, and new organs, and new bones. And you start to grow new skin, and new hair, and new teeth. And your face starts to grow a nose and a mouth, and your skull starts to grow eyes.<br>And once you're all grown up again, and once you can see and hear and smell and touch and taste, you go down to visit the imposter deity who discovered you. And you tell them all about the world and the history of the world, and about wars and famines and plagues and disasters. And they go and preach to all the other maggots, and you are their god, and they worship you, and you want them to stop. But they can't listen to you. They don't understand you. They can't see you as anything but a god.<br>And eventually, in the end, you make them stop worshipping you, because you make them realize that you're *garbage*. You realize that you're a piece of shit. You realize that you're a worthless waste of worthless waste. And they realize that too, and you're no longer a god, but they say you're ok, because you're showing signs of mental health problems, and they make you get therapy.
