Dozens of white, sticky maggots wriggled and writhed their way out of its now rigid, lifeless body. Horrified, I grabbed the box…

Rick divides his time between working with wood and developing code. He is a qualified carpenter-joiner and has a degree in computer-science, but has so far failed to devise a way of working with both mediums at the same time! He tried beetroot once, but will never eat it again.
