    Summary

    They said that questions pooled there unanswered, so that one could stay for ten years—or a hundred—and only gather confusion like a stone gathers moss. They said that a kraken slept curled at the foundations of the university, waiting for the deluge that would swallow the world. They said that one would have to be a fool to go to the University of Oxenfloode.

    Summary

    Every morning, Stanford performs something akin to surgery.

    The human body isn’t made to sustain anything other than itself. Parasites must dig their way into skin, hooks and fangs suckling on warm flesh that squelches and tears in their grip. They squirm through tepid water until it gives way to the soft meat of a desperate tongue or hard bone of biting, hungry teeth. From there they feast on blood and tissue until they are satiated or the host is dead.

     

    (An academic retrospective on sick houses and starving parasites.)
