Exactly a week ago, I was feeling lethargic going to work in the morning. Mondays are usually extra energetic days, the mind having rested over the weekend and the body relaxed. Last Monday was a surprise. I still managed to get the work done well, forced myself to hit the gym but by evening, my body was giving up.
The next day, I went to get a lab test for Malaria, and before the results landed in my lap, I was already shivering in bed. In the hallucinations that followed the infection, I could imagine me and the alleged mosquito dueling over a duet. The song was none other than Def Leppard's Hysteria..........Malaria:
Malaria:
Me:
Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in shit, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees
Mosquito:
I gotta know tonight
If you're blown tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire
Oh, I get hysterical, Malaria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a nocturnal mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
'Cos it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Me:
Malaria, when you're near
(After I get bitten)
Mosquito:
Out of me, into you yeah
You could hide it's just a one way street
Oh, I believe I'm in you, yeah
Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me
I gotta know tonight
If you're blown tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire
Me:
Oh, I get hysterical, Malaria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a nocturnal mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
'Cos it's a miracle, oh say you will
Ooh babe
Malaria when you're near
Come on
