The Scuttlers

Tom regretted it, he shouldn't have got out of bed last night, look at him now chained to a wall. But he hadn’t been able to sleepso, being Tom, he'd broken into the park next door. He took out his football. That was when he had heard it, the scuttling sound that drew closer. Then the rusty gate creaked open, and Tom was swarmed by these tiny beetle things!

Millions of them, covering every bit of his body. Somehow they had brought him here, chained him to a wall in a dark room, and left him to die!
