the haunting

last night i flipped out because i found a huge ass roach in the bathroom. i immediately went under the kitchen sink and grabbed my little can of Raid and proceeded to spray like there was no tomorrow. It’s worth mentioning that I couldn’t bear to actually be in the same bathroom while I sprayed the lil wretch, but stood a good 9 feet away raining down all my Raid wrath upon his little twitching body.

I left the roach there, belly up, behind the bathroom door. Mostly because the cloud of Raid was impenetrable at this point, but also partly because I didn’t have the spine to wrap a paper towel around it’s body and feel the awkward crunch of it’s exoskeleton under the pressure of my thumb. so he just lay there, haunting the hinges of the door.

that night, i dreamt of roaches.
