life 2

we used to have a dog that had fleas. we lived in a pretty flea infested area of Ontario and the fleas were all over the place. when it was bad you could part my dogs hair and you would see the little buggers. one day i was in my room reading and i felt an itch on my stomach. when i looked i saw this little flea moving along. i watched it for a good few minutes. it amazed me somewhat. this tiny insect living on my body. unaware of the human world and our worries. it had no clue about all the things in my life at the time. the bullies at school, the girls that wouldn't look at me or my skinny frame. that flea knew none of it and i would have to make it pay.
