bimbi manifesto

We will not stop our continuing bombardment. What do we want? Blood! Our tactics can include (but are not limited to) the inducing of auditory and visual hallucinations and sleep deprivation.

That constant hum you here is not really us. We prefer dive bombing and coming as close as possible to your ears. Swatting, flailing and rolling around are no use. We will be successful in our objective – sucking your blood.

It is useless to perform ‘checks’ before bedtime. We will emerge from hidden corners. We are one and we are many. In the precise moment you fall asleep, we abound and are persistent in our mission.

Be sure we will make our presence known whether it is that buzzing in your ear or that soft touch of our wings as we make our way past your nose. It promises to be a fitful night of sleep for you. Your state of being will swing from conscious to semi conscious but we will not allow you the pleasure of sleep. Get angry, be annoyed…it is of no use. You will not win.

And while we prefer larger expanses of skin (legs, backs, arms), we have no problem planting ourselves in between toes, on your chin, the side of your finger. We want to be remembered and thus you are left with red itchy bumps – a memento of our manifesto.

We are one and we are many. We are bimbi. Submit!
