Visitors in the Night

Have you ever woken up in the night from a dream that something was crawling all over you? Unfortunately for me this was not a dream. Last night I was rudely awaken to the feeling something was moving on my bed. I quickly jumped up, ran to turn on the light to see what it was…to find a BIG NASTY ROACH!! YUCKY! It was running fearless all over my bed. Standing in the corner near my door wondering what shall I do, everyone is asleep but I can’t get back in bed with that nasty beast! With a deep breath and a silent prayer, I grabbed the closest weapon possible, my flip-flop. Drawing closer to the bed to get a closer to the minas who caused me to lose some z’s. Running to and fro, up and down my bed, I waited for the opportunity to attack. I swung once and missed as it ran under my sheets, shook my sheets until it came out and then as it moved closer to me I swung again this time not missing but hitting it several times making it pay the ultimate price for the disturbance. Leaving it under my shoe until the morning. After the killing, the decision came to of what to do next…do I dare lay back down in fear of another creepy crawling things to come or will I keep watch? Carefully I re-inspect my bed making sure there are no others to disturb me. When nothing else was seen, slowly made my way back to turn off the lights and crawl back into bed.
