Bite-Scratch

The Anopheles mosquito, dread bearer of malaria, is a small but troublesome beast. As it flits its tiny wings, grown men have been known to flinch and shy away, quailing in fear. How could such a small insect, one of God's lesser creatures, inspire such terror? Ah! That is the secret of the fearmonger. To create such powerful emotion is a skill lost to many. Would it be true to say that it is a skilled artisan in such a field? Or perhaps more correct to call it an annoying bug? History will decide.
