Disgusting creatures

A friend of the family chainsawed up the stump of the tree that was remaining. That just left some rather large sections to be split up. One of the sections was comprised of two trunks which had become fused together as the tree grew. When I split this it was strangely full of massive leeches that were hibernating there. At the time I thought I had managed to dodge all of the vile creatures but one of them must have been attached to my shoe and when I put it on again a few days later and then spent a day gardening I did not notice it. However later that night I was reading a book to Claire and lying on top of her bed and when I got off there was a monstrous leech that was bloated with my blood.

Wood splitting
Technique leaves a little to be desired.

Leech
It was at least as long as your forearm if my memory of the horrid thing remains intact.
