The Voice of Tyrian Doesn't Like Scorpions

The first time, I was like four or five years old.  I was laying on the floor in my mom's sewing room, and laying underneath a giant quilt that she had made for me before I was even born.  I'm just laying in it and rolling around and playing, and at one point I just feel this sharp pain on my foot.  I scream and I pull the covers off and there's this huge scorpion that just...worked its way under the covers and decided that my foot offended it.

I was at my grandmother's house, again, laying on the floor in the living room.  There was TV on and I was just sitting there.  I was looking up at the ceiling and I see...it was one of those tall vaulted ceilings where it goes up in the middle...and I saw something dark up there and I thought "That doesn't look right."  And before I look away, it's falling and it lands on my face--on my face!--and it was a scorpion.  Thankfully it didn't sting me; I reacted quick enough and just freaked out, but yeah.  Almost had a face full of scorpion tail.  I'm not a fan of them.

Could she have forgotten to lock it? Nancy asked herself as she opened the case. They had been rushed, but still....Frowning, she began taking things out, trying hard to remember everything she had packed and the exact order it had been put in. Everything seemed all right, but when she reached for her new, blue knit shirt, the wrinkle in it moved and she jerked her hand back quickly. Nothing happened, so she carefully picked up one of the clothes hangers from the bed and lightly touched the "wrinkle." It moved suddenly, and to her horror, a brownish scorpion nearly two-and-a-half inches long scuttled out of her shirt, its deadly tail moving angrily!

He then opened the door a crack, removed the lid of the canister, and freed from its prison a large, black scorpion. Urged forward, the insect crawled out, revealing its monstrous claws and poisonous sting! The boy pulled back, shutting the door without being seen and listening for the first shriek of discovery.
