I am the King of Maggots. Discarded remains are my domain. I open my mouth to lead my Children, and Flies erupt from my lungs. There is nothing for me in this world. Nothing but contempt. Let it come, let it dribble down the chin of disdain as it swallows. My Spawn hatch beneath my skin, squirming, thriving on my lifeblood. At last, it is time to leave the nest, and Maggots burrow out through my pores. Outside, I am empty. Inside, I am fulfilled.

King of Maggots
I am the King of Maggots. Discarded remains are my domain. I open my mouth to lead my Children, and Flies erupt from my lungs. There is nothing for me in this world. Nothing but contempt. Let it come, let it dribble down the chin of disdain as it swallows. My Spawn hatch beneath my skin, squirming, thriving on my lifeblood. At last, it is time to leave the nest, and Maggots burrow out through my pores. Outside, I am empty. Inside, I am fulfilled.
