Memoirs of .. .. well .. .. a Roach

Hiding in the dark
The floor is cold on my feet
I can hear people talking in the background
*chatter chatter*

It smells of food here
Bananas, Chicken, my all-time favourite
Water Melons!
But I have to resist this temptation

For what lays opposite of this cold floor
Is my food haven
Fish, Char Siew, and the occasional Chicken Curry
*Mmm. Yum*

With the first glimpse of light
I lunged forward... ...
To freedom!
And food!

But alas!
I got trapped..
So near, and yet so far
Half in heaven, and the other in Hell

Such is my desperation
A little jiggle and a wiggle
Lo and behold!
At last... ...

And the first thing i chance upon
Was a boy
All of 165 centimetres
Shock and disgust written all over his ugly face

Of course I dived for cover!
Under a pair of slippers I went
Squeezing every ounce of myself
under that cozy dark soft platform

Everything turns black
I see God
I have reached...

First Blood!
