One School Night: The Roach

It was just another school night. After searching the net for pictures on my collage, I go to my room to work on my English Card. So, naive me, went to my room when I suddenly froze in terror because of some creature I saw. If you saw my face, you would have thought that I just saw a white crow! I became instantly paralyzed and a primal instinct in me told me if I should fight or flee. For there, my friends, I saw a cockroach scurrying around my room. The horror...the horror.

I always despised cockroaches and have a weird paranoia about them. There brown, ugly wings make me puke and scowl. I'm hanging only by a thread in declaring myself cockroach-phobic and I admit, I can't gather any wit I have to even dare to kill them! There, I said it! The truth shall set me freeeee!!!! I have a theory (that I invented just about....now) that the reason why they survived every freaking disaster in this earth and may continue to survive is because

• they have evolved to the point of almost becoming immortal
• they suck the living daylights out of people (like me) who get scared of them and convert it to massive power

So, I finally gathered enough wits to cautiously go nearer to the critter. I wonder, ]

"Oh God! What if it suddenly comes near me and goes into my mouth!". Experience gave me a scare one night when talking to my sis, a cockroach suddenly flies at me and lands in my head! I could only do sooo much not to faint and sanitize myself with alcohol.

3 painstaking minutes later, I stamp my feet and....it goes away, lost in the shadows of the night, seen only in my nightmares.
