Cockroach Saga
The other day, when I was in the bathroom, I saw something moving under the sink. I took a look and saw a huge cockroach. Immediately, I stepped back and tried to escape from it. After spiders, cockroaches are next on my "Hate" list, especially flying cockroaches. I was praying hard that the one in the bathroom would stay on the floor. In the end, I decided to ignore my goose-pimples and get rid of it, once and for all.
I went near the cockroach and tried to step on it (I was wearing bathroom slippers, in case you are wondering whether I was bare-footed or not), but it ran to the far end of the bathroom. I chased it into a corner, and before I could step on it, it turned around and ran towards me instead! I freaked out and ran to the bathtub and hopped into it. Luckily, it couldn't climb up and thankfully, it didn't fly. I took the shower hose and sprayed water at the cockroach. That sent it into a frenzie, and I quickly took off one slipper and threw at it. The slipper landed on top of it, and for a moment, everything was still. I got out of the bathtub, walked slowly to the slipper and stepped on it again, just to make sure that the cockroach was dead. I removed the slipper to check, and sure enough, it was slightly squashed. YUCKS! I quickly washed it down the drain pipe with the shower hose, and felt my life returning to normal again.
For the rest of the day, I could feel my goose-pimples returning everytime I think of that incident. I hope I won't have to experience such an unpleasant encounter again.
