When the plague started taking its hold upon our wretched souls the office was circled by blood-sucking leeches, who came sniffing and tasting around our flesh: and lord help me some of us even invited their attentions, in the hollow belief that they might, in some way, speed our passing from this place - not so much to be somewhere better; but simply to be somewhere else.
And these great monster leeches took from us, and promised that they would return for us.
... but we are still here alone.
yet now we are alone and ashamed; ashamed that we consorted with such creatures.
