Old Radio ShowsBeyond MidnightSomething On His MindThis horrible little story is set in Borneo, where planter George Thring discovers that his wife Rona has been having an affair with his business partner Peter Macey. George is usually a nice enough guy who would quite happily give away the shirt off his back if anyone asked him, but he is also a very possessive and jealous man and Macey does little to hide his feelings about Rona, so it is not long before George gets suspicious and confronts his wife. When he does so Rona tries to deny everything, but George is no fool and when Rona turns her back on him and says she is going to bed, George forbids her to go until he has the truth and Rona is forced to admit that she and Macey have been lovers for four months. At first George seems to take this shocking admission quite well, but he is only biding his time while he plots his revenge and when George finally acts his revenge is of the most diabolical nature and involves not a gun or a knife, but an insect. In Borneo there is a breed of mammoth earwig with a body as long as that of a good-sized caterpillar and as fine as a spider's web. In fact its body is so delicate in nature that it can often walk across human skin without its presence even being noticed. In the wild the earwig lives on the waxy secretions produced by some plants and trees, but it has a distinct liking for the human ear and, once inside the ear, it is unable to turn around and is forced to continue moving ever forward, eating as it goes.
