The Mysterious Brain Eating Bug

by Eula Dailey

Miles gets contacted by Larry Walker. Journalist for newspaper out of portland, Maine. He was in Boston and was hoping to meet up. He's doing a story on some lost hikers in Maine. He found something odd about it. He was hoping we could meet him to talk about whatever stuff. He's at the Motel 1906 in Boston. Miles drives us over to the Hotel.
 
We go to the hotel - me, Ed, Miles and Reg. We go up the stairs - an enclosed stairwell. Some guys come out of the door. They are wearing Zoot Suits and they hop into a car. They have a Maine plate. Feels sus. The door is ajar. There is a disheveled gentleman on the floor. He is dead. Looks like Larry. He was shot. The room has been tossed. Nothing really interesting in his notes. Stories that his boss might have given him. Ed finds a hidden compartment in his suitcase. There are notes about missing hikers - Candace Parker and Gary Carter - missing hikers. Hiking near saddleback Maine. They went missing. There have been other disappearances that are unsolved in that area. Mention of flashing lights. Also a roll of film in the bag.
 
Police come. Seargent Ed Flairty. We relay the story to the Sargent. We are going to investigate. We go to the library to recon. There is a story about a hunter in an asylum in Augusta. He and his buddy were hunting in the Saddleback area and his friend disappeared and he was accused of murder. But he didn't do it. And he went insane. Emmitt Smith.
 
We go to get the pictures developed. Some nature pictures. Picture of old logging cabin. One of the pics looks like it's half dark on one side. Maybe a tree. And then there is a clearing that is open. Perhaps the photographer was hiding behind a tree taking the pictures.
 
We plan to go to Maine and camp. Leave the next morning. We drive to Portland - go to the newspaper. Tell the editor about the death of Larry. The editor is Mr. Parish. Mr. Parish notes that there have been missing hikers in that area for awhile. No previous stories. We find out that Gary's parents live in Boston.
 
To Do List.
Larry's Apartment.
Hiker in Asylum in Augusta.
Maybe go back to Boston to talk to Gary's parents. - Send a cable to Dirty Jimmy
 
Larry's Apartment
Door is broke open. The place has been ransacked. The guys find a map.
 
We head to the insane asylum on Augusta. Augusta State Hospital. Eula persuades the nurse to let them talk to Emmitt. Emmitt is handcuffed -- restrained. Appears to be.
gary and he were in an opening in a clearing. And he saw huge bug grab him and then Jerry laid down the bug cut him open and took his brain. Then he took him. He has Entomophobia (fear of bugs).
 
We wonder what the three people in suits have to do with the bugs. Perhaps the bugs have been bred by people.
 
We spend the night in Augusta. Oh - Reg thinks the suit people mayhaps turn into bugs.
 
We find someone at the local nursing school who is into bugs. Len Dawson. Moose flies. He doesn't know much about weird bugs.
 
We leave.
 
We go to the library. Twenty years ago - abominable snowman sightings in the Madrid/ Saddleback area. In the Madrid Weekly. No mention of missing people or brain demons.
 
We head to Farmington.
