The Locust, a teen who makes an identity out of being ostracized and finding (or creating) the “freaks like me,” interpreted through the lens of a teen infected with a horrific disease, a rotting curse or an unknowable parasite that even the mundanes know is Not Right on a subconscious level. (The name “locust” was chosen for the connotations of pestilence and swarming.)
Constructive criticism appreciated.
OK. Added some comments.
