"I was sitting in my room when I suddenly felt something moving inside my ear. At first, I thought it was just a small itch, so I tried to ignore it. Then I felt the movement again. I became worried and touched my ear. Suddenly, a small worm came out of my ear. I was very scared and quickly moved away from it. I looked at the worm on the floor. It moved slowly across the room. I ran to the bathroom and looked at my ear in the mirror. I could not see anything strange, but I still felt that something was inside my ear. I tried to clean my ear with a tissue, but another small worm came out. I shouted and ran out of the bathroom. When I looked back, the worm was gone. I checked my ear again, but everything looked normal. Then I woke up feeling scared and touched my ear to make sure there was nothing there."
