"The Wrath of Cons" comes from Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn, which was released in 1982. Due to my father's interest in the Star Trek the film was showed to me at a relatively young age. In the movie the eels crawled into the ears of Captain Terrell and Commander Chekov, which eventually drove them mad. Looking back there were few movie scenes that really affected me on a horror level as much as the Ceti Eels. In this release the Ceti Eels serve as the inspiration and the backbone of this writing.

The eels symbolize critiques against you, and how the things people say can change your view of yourself. Furthermore, how negative voices can breed in your head as a result. One line in this release is spoken as "They're in my brain", but the line is actually written as "They dissect my brain". This refers to the Centi Eels moving around in the heads of the two Starfleet men, but also a statement of trying to understand critiques others have of you. You may then be left wondering whether the hurtful things said are valid. The two second to last lines refer to the eels ability to make their host more susceptive to persuasion. One criticism of mine is that I don't talk enough or am not open enough. In my circumstance these criticisms made me overly conscious of being "too quiet", which persuaded me to talk more, much like how the eels helped persuade Terrel and Chekov. The last line speaks about how the more I talked the less articulate I felt I was. There was a big fear of being misconstrued or thought of as dumb, and no matter what I said language seemed inherently flawed. The line "but human language can't find the right ones" also serves as a slight nod at the many other alien languages in the Star Trek universe.
