I'm old... So, so very old... I can hear them inside me... Eating...Chewing...Gnawing... 

I cannot seem to recall when they arrived but it must have only been a few hundred years ago... I'm unsure how much time my old roots can take...

Hahaha... Billions of years of life... Billions of years of death... What was the point of it all? I was worshipped, loved, groomed, watched... Burned, cut, sawed and tore but I never once desired or asked for anything.

The pain these disgusting parasites are causing me is unexplainable...

I have always longed for companionship but now that I have experienced it I have never wanted to be more alone. While I feel these little devils writhing and devouring my core. I can feel them taking away something I never thought they could.

I have experienced heaven, now, its time to experience hell. And I shall gratefully embrace it.
