The Midnight Encounter

There was a power blackout. It was 2 in the night! There was total darkness... And complete silence.. I woke up because the fan stopped running..And there was no air circulation in the room....

That was when I heard the sound of his feet in kitchen.... As shivers ran down my spine.. I was suddenly wide awake...What was happening... What was he doing in the kitchen??? In a total frenzy by now.... Thinking fast... It would be safer to stay in the room than to venture out in the dark and face him....The little thief... But what if he came into the room???? What was I going to do now???? After worrying for a few minutes, I decided to face him... Brave! Aren't I?

So, I groped in the dark for the torch... I found it and crept stealthily into the kitchen... I waited for a few seconds for him to move... After what felt like ages, he moved slightly.. My ears perked up and I turned and shone my torch on him.... He was too shocked to react... Frozen he glared at me... I glared back... That was when I realised, he wasn't alone... My anger rose!!!!

It was time to act.... I picked up the bottle of baygon spray near my hand and sprayed it right into his face.... The 2 thieves scuttered around a bit... And then fell to the floor.... It was then that I mercilessly squashed both of them with my feet.. The bloody cockroaches.....

I went back to sleep in peace....
