Shortly afterward, I felt an itch on my calf. Ouch! There was not one, but FIVE leeches attached to my leg!

  1. oh nice leech hickeys .. pity they weren't on your neck, you could tell a good vampire story! The only time I have encountered leeches was on year 8 camp when I befriended a rather humongous one.
