I watched my group of friends from my bedroom window, who were laughing and playing silly party games that were oddly entertaining. Of course, I couldn’t have gone. I wasn't allowed to leave the house, and if I was, it was for a short amount of time, or I wouldn’t have gone alone.

Each episode is based a short story akin to The Twilight Zone: the tales are dark and suspenseful, survey unusual circumstances, and incorporate thought-provoking…

health conditions. In order to be prospering, one must be healthy; which means the absence of the latter situations. A quick look into a human health book will verify the complexity. Terminix is implying that to fulfill human necessities, such as sleep, which aids the immune system and improves one’s mood (therefore elevating social relationships), will lead to a “better”…
