#cockroach cw

1. A single piece of spilled chicken on the counter top from supper. Coming into the kitchen and seeing a roach sitting on top of it and another hanging out. Having to laugh at how cartoonish it was vs weeping.

2. Cockroach I chased into a glue trap, except it did not get stuck and flung itself off the countertop like it was cliff diving and disappeared. Cue laughter to stop crying.

3. Cockroach on the front door that jumped off the door when I left for work. I panicked and kicked it mid-air into the hallway.

I walk into the kitchen to clear the counters and beging sweeping up my ineffective piles of DE and get to my puff misting

Idfk why, but there are 2 late instar juvenile roaches in the same position in 2 corners of the kitchen on the ceiling. Fucking EWW???????

So anyways, I clear the counter off and stand up there, and see that oh Christ, they're living behind the cabinets. There's a ton of shit on like, the walls, all up above the cabinets, etc. I taped off the cabinets where they sit by the wall a while back and that made my life a lot better. But obviously, they're just coming in and all from the top. Whatever, at least they're hanging out away from me and my shit

So anyways, I go up w my can of raid, and decide to give the 2 a squirt because fuck you in particular. There's shit on the wall, so I give a spray on that spot as well because the residue will stick to their feet in the future and poison them.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. A bunch of adults scurried out and it was horrifying. I was borderline expecting that, but it was still loading in my head and creeping me out.

I'm explaining this to h, and still standing on my stool thing, and we hear a "plunk" on the counter. A fucking pregnant one dropped from Christ knows where and is dying on the counter.

And so I’m watching this one where it’s like; selecting role: hero

And like ok I understand the idea of being a hero. Is fun sure, be the main character, but I’m the cockroach that will survive the fall, I can live without my head, while you scream over a paper cut.
