Imagine being Fanny Jo Begonia. An everyday woman, soon spiraling into a universe of obscurity, as she unwittingly becomes an unwitting host for a mind-busting, intergalactic critter.
According to our friends at Florence Hospital, Goblinworms wreck havoc on nearly a zillion life forms across the cosmos. This, though, is the first Flibberworm species seen nesting in a human. Cool, eh?
Now, Fanny Jo may have unwittingly brunched on these cryptic worm caviar, just like Buster, the mild-mannered garden gnome next door. Indirectly, of course.
This town, Redwood Pines, has the Space-toad Lake area, Fanny Jo's favorite. She doesn't go to the lake for the carpet-skinned Astro-pythons sunning themselves, mind you, but to gather moon-palmed truffula leaves. Yep, they look like spinach. Lots of it to prepare her '5-star' meals.
Now fellow adventurer, you're probably wondering where did these alien worm eggs come in from? Well, her kitchen was contaminated or maybe she slurped her greens without washing well.
Enter Dr. Eldon Von Stinkybrains, Head Brainologist at University of Nowhere, Nebraska, and Chief librarian of the globally acclaimed Paceous Lab of Noodle Bugs. He's like, "Dudes, we gotta chill. It's a wacky world out there, but getting scramblers from space serpents isn’t a daily happening." Good hygiene is all you need, folks.
“Most bugs come visit us ‘cos we’re at the wrong place at the wrong time”, Doc Eldon, who has nothing to do with this research, provides his two cents. “Like munching some alien baby eggs not meant for us. And if we're immune Dodos, then hello, rad space infections!” Wowza!
So there we have it folks! Fanny Jo, the serendipitous Flibberworm celebrity. Once depressed and forgetful, now the life of the party with her weirdly unique behaviors, all thanks to her new brain tenant. Gongoozle at this fantastical occurrence, our fellow Earthlings, and always remember to scrub behind your ears!
