I'm suddenly glad I learned to make sure the door was locked before showering was my sister's toddler joining me. Between being directly under the water to wash my hair and the music I didn't hear her until she was in the shower with me demanding "Give me the shower"

Had a mini heart attack and kid almost went flying 'cross the room, but other than that it was fine. No mysterious entity trying to turn me into it's next snack.

I don't think they tossed him in to get infected, think he was locked up because he was infected. Brother appeared to lose control and get violent, father had bruises and he didn't want his sister to get too close.

Plus no idea if it would/could spread to the others meant isolation was the safest option for everyone involved.

I think by the end the brother is gone and his body is just a puppet for the parasite.

Why the father was willing to kill it. His son was gone and all that was left was a parasite defiling his corpse.

From my understanding the pov is from a younger child, with the older brother being host to some sort of parasite that's slowly taking over his body.

Take the blanket, bundle it under you and U.B so you can inchworm/crawl away without risk of exposure.

It isn't easy but not incredibly difficult either, did it a lot as a child. And occasionally as an adult so I could turn on my heater without leaving the warm blankets.

Sims 3 was horrid about that one. I'd pause the game and every sim on screen would snap their head to stare directly at me.

Work hard for every dollar because they made a deal with the devil and now the entire family pays the price.
