" It was two weeks before Racin’ Jason knew for sure he was being eaten alive. It was more like a gentle nibbling really. It wasn’t so much painful at first, it tickled unendurably though. Later it became agony. And it took over a year for the entire body to be consumed, although Racin’ Jason was dead halfway through that. He had wondered at times whether this was some sort of punishment for his crimes, for he knew that he deserved something bad. He wept a great deal in the last months, through sockets where his eyes had once been, and he apologized to all the gods he could think of, but it made not the slightest difference. "
