Charlie Burton was an independent insurance adjuster, and he was quite good at
his trade. Charlie could track down any vehicle, and estimate repair cost
flawlessly. For a claimant to receive a settlement, all it took was one call
from Charlie. He was in demand, and right now Worthington National Insurance
demanded his undivided attention. It seems that Rosemary Johnson had been
involved in a motor vehicle accident 31 days ago, and nobody had spoken with her
since the accident. Her statement was critical to the investigation, so the
insurance company sent her packet to Charlie. After ten days of searching, he
finally found Rosemary Johnson. Charlie soon discovered that Rosemary had been
taken to the hospital after the accident, then moved to a rest home when she was
well enough to travel. She had no family, except for sixteen cats living in her
van. And animal control had removed the cats, just after the accident. The hard
part was done, now all Charlie had to do was work up a repair estimate. The man
at the wrecker service told Charlie that he had towed the van to Rosemary’s
house, and put it in her garage. Charlie went to her house then walked into the
garage, and opened the van door to look inside. As soon as he stuck his head in
the van, Charlie heard a whirring sound. It suddenly felt like electricity was
crawling all over his eyeballs, he was blinded instantly. He now felt the
stinging itch all over his body, and began to choke. As Charlie lay dying, he
suddenly realized what was happening. Millions of blood starved fleas were in
his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, soon they were in his lungs. They covered his
body, and ate old Charlie alive.
