The Raisin-Leech Diary!

Hello! My name is Roy G. Biv! I am a raisin-leech! A couple of minutes ago, I found this journal floating in the sewer. In the journal previously, there were a couple of gibberish notes, written by a man named Charles Darwin. Who had ever heard of him? Anyways, I tore the pages with writing out, and kept the clean pages. I decided to make this my very own journal, in hopes of somebody reading it. They don’t teach students about Raisin-Leeches in Science class because of our “unimportant role” in the drama of Mother Nature. Well, we may not be as important as other living things are in an ecosystem, but our lives are pretty interesting. Maybe you will learn a thing or two after reading my life-story - in my Journey Journal!

Today is Anti-Aging Day. Baby Raisin-Leeches are born with very wrinkly skin. On Anti-Aging Day, they go the sewer so that they can get nutrients from the contaminated water-to make their skin smooth. When I first poked my head into the sewer, I almost fainted! Man did it stink in there! It stung when I dipped my shriveling body into the cold water, but it was worth it. My raisin-body started t bubble! It almost felt as if I was a hot air balloon!

Anyways, as I grew older, I learned something. “Eat or be eaten”. Humans mistake us for ordinary raisins, and then they eat us. But, unfortunately, we have to carry them to a secret hideout and eat them humans there-because otherwise they would eat us! Humans are not our main diet, though. Most of the time we just eat whatever looks appetizing that floats in the sewer. We know that it is kind of gross, but what else are we supposed to eat-Ourselves?
Well, after a while, the Raisin-Leeches’ skin starts to wrinkle again. That forces us the move to an even more contaminated sewer, to get more nutrients for our skin…

Hello. This is another Raisin-Leech writing. The Raisin-Leech who had previously written in this journal is now deceased. I was made from his leftover cells. Just thought that I would let you know…


The Extra Scoop – The Story Behind The Existence of Raisin-Leeches

Once, there lived a leech. One day, he went insane. He did some of the craziest things! He even fell in love with a raisin! I think that you know what happened next…
