#for instance Morbius’ speech patterns

[totally-not-an-awkward-okapi]

Enclosed below is a transcription of the piece of paper found in the seat pocket of seat 23 b of Flight UA 8469, translated from Latverian to English. There may be errors in this translation, due to the handwriting deterioration and the damage on the original document.

If you're reading this, whatever he poisoned me with took effect before I could get off this flight and for that I am sorry. My name is, or more likely was, Dr Micah Morbius. As you can probably guess, I am Latverian. What you almost certainly do not know is the disease currently ravaging my home. Dr Victor Von Doom has been careful to conceal its spread from the outside world. However, given that I was the primary researcher on it, if you're reading this I feel no shame in calling for international aid.

My PhD was accelerated due to the crisis, as my theories regarding the potential cure being found in the adaptations of hematophagous animals were extremely promising. But as a single researcher, I could only move so fast. I tried, I really did. But.

I cannot remember if I became infected myself before or after Dr Victor Von Doom introduced me to those colleagues of his. It does not truly matter. In my desperation, I began testing the cures I workshopped with those doctor’s on my self. One of them, an American man located in New York, was especially interested in my work. I am certain it was him who did this.

[Text begins to fully deteriorate here, there was likely a period of time between this and the rest of the note. Much of the text overlapped.]

He did this. He did this and I let him. We did this. I did this. No. No, I did this and he let me.

It’s so hard to think.

I’m. So hungry. I’m so hungry.

It’s so hard to think.

I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry.

It’s so hard to think when you're so hungry. When I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry.

I feel my bones moving.

I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry.

He made my bones move. I made my bones move. My bones are moving. Their always moving. Oh God their always moving. Everything is moving. I can hear it. I can hear it. I can hear it. It’s so hard to think.

It is so hard to think like this. It is so hard to think. It is so hard to think.

I can smell it.

It’s so hard to think. It’s so hard to think.

God I’m so hungry. How can you be this hungry? How can I be this hungry? Why won’t they let me eat? I’m so hungry. Why won’t they let me? Why won’t they let me think?

It’s so hard to think.

I’m. So hungry.

I’m so hungry.

It’s so hard to think.

I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry. I’m so hungry.

Please help me.
