Izzie didn't get invited to the birthday party of the century so instead it was an opportunity to catch up on some tasty Radio National morsels
Brainsssss! It turns out that the writer of the very freaky tale "The Girl with all the Gifts" had already been out there gathering lots of creepy cordyceps fungi and producing all sorts of amazing mutations worthy of Monsanto.
But all is not lost. There's still kitty litter to play with.
But lest you think that humans are safe from these kinds of brain hijacking, there is emerging evidence to suggest that some humans can have their brains hijacked by a little monocellular organism known as Toxoplasma gondii. This is a little single-celled organism that often exists in cat poop. So this is actually the parasite that doctors warn pregnant women about. So this is why when you are pregnant you are not supposed to change the litter box.
Things have been going sluggish over in Camp Nanoland until yesterday. Using a Steampunk tarot deck as inspiration was just not getting off the ground. It was then that silly Izzie finally remembered a wickedly wonderful selection of very twisted writing prompts which have worked like magic.
I guess it's time to add Consciousness Deficit Hypoactivity Disorder and kitty litter to the list.
