Bug On The Wall

I’m not afraid.

Really.

But that big buggy on the wall isn’t helping.

Creepily waving hairy legs

Squinting beady eyes

Fat greenish brown body

Promising a squishy death

Disdain for the napkin that’s inching closer

Threatening

Don’t you dare.

Heart racing.

Close my eyes.

I can feel it.

Ewwwww.

No, I can’t do it.

You win.

Even though bugs are about 1000 times smaller than me, they have an aura of disgusting superiority and eyes that say, “I will haunt you for the rest of your life.” I can’t force myself to destroy them. Ugh.
