Dear diary,

My face hurts. Goodman slapped me after I started throwing fireballs everywhere yesterday. Turns out I got bit by the sand bug. No wonder I felt so annoyed and grumpy.

The sand bug is a kind of parasite that hijacks your brain and makes you hate sand. It's pretty bad. It looks like a really long worm. Gina showed me the one she pulled out of my ears and it was like the length of my arm. I don't even know how it fit in there.

It's really thin. Like thinner than a thread, thin. I can't believe it was in my ear.

Love,

Tina
