Me Vs Mold

My whole time in this house I have been fighting with a little thing called MOLD. I fight and fight and its relentless attacks on me are slowly breaking down my front lines. In fact, it now has my house under seige. 

So, how to get rid of Mold? You can't. I give up. I will leave the country. I have tried bleach, I've tried having someone in to strip the walls. I've even tried screaming at it. 

And then a heartless attack this afternoon. All I wanted to do this afternoon was play my clarinet. But no. MOLD has taken control of the object I love most. I think this is Psychological Warfare. If I come down tomorrow morning and my Macbook Pro is growing mold, I will surrender. Who knows, maybe it will take me and I will become a superhero called the Mold Warrior. I'm not sure whether this super-hero will fight for the good or bad of mankind. But I must become resigned to the fact I will become one, as there's nothing I can do. Besides, if you can't beat em, join em. And I know from personal experience, one thing's for sure: once I'm the Mold Warrior, nothing CAN DEFEAT ME!

  1. Surely you can just replace the reed on the clarinet?
