The Bug - Episode Six — Barry J. Hutchison

The explosive finale to this six-part post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror serial More blades emerged, wriggling free of the carcass. They were legs, Moira realized. Long, spindly bug-like legs, each one almost half a meter long. The bodies weren't bodies at all. Or, rather, they were. But they were something else, too. Incubators. ABOUT THE SERIAL No-one knows where the bugs come from. They emerge from the shadows all over the world, creeping and crawling out of the darkness and burrowing beneath the skin of every man, woman and child they encounter. Once inside, the bugs begin whispering dark thoughts into the minds of their hosts and driving them to carry out horrifying acts of violence against those not infected. Most survivors try to hide from the bugs and the bugged. Most don't succeed. But all over the world pockets of uninfected people find ways first to stay alive, then to fight back. This is their story. Because it isn't a virus that will end the world. It's a bug.
