Deep beneath your feet, they live in the octillions

I remember as a kid learning about all the “cooties” that live in our body and being really creeped out about it. I’m not creeped out by the thought of octillions of creatures living beneath our feet but it’s equally as amazing.

Against Peter Jackson’s “They Shall Not Grow Old”
