It happens all the time.

That would be Beatrice. Long time back Varda (another user) and I had a running series of drabbles inspired by my username that eventually became about an intergalactic invasion of parasitic moustaches. It's 'The Moustache Mythos" if you want to look it up.

What could "it" be? The thing each of us fears most? Or the thing we think others fear most? Or that the deserving should be subjected to?

You want it all but you can't have it

This is pretty thought provoking. I think my favorite part is: it happens to people you never really cared about. Because it's true! It never happens to good people. Only to those wretches we wish would go away anyway.
