The Angry Dieter

Delayed post due to excessive work time But it’s worth it.

The other night, after preparing a delicious meal of lamb curry, with a cup of tea, I was in the process of moving all the dishes to the coffee table so I could relax and finish watching The Scorpion King.

Well.. Fate and a GIANT MUTANT COCKROACH (GMC) stepped in.

I screamed, loudly. I have one of those sonic screams that can break glass. I am sure the neighbours from both upstairs and downstairs heard my screams of horror as the cockroach stared me down and started a run up to attack me.

It was obvious to me that this was a duel to the death.

My weapon of choice was a can of Mortein, and GMC elected to use fear. GMC nearly won.

I sprayed GMC and it turned around after making a puzzling retreat along the bench and launched itself at me. I dropped the can and ran to my bedroom cowering against the bed, twitching. A few minutes passed and I pulled myself together and went back for round 2. There was GMC scuttering around the plastic bags on the bench I had left out from this morning when I was looking for something. It looked at me, I looked at it, I slowly bent down to pick up the abandoned can of mortein.

Then I doused the entire kitchen, the benches, the sink with Mortein.

GMC scuttled away screaming and I went back to my room. It was still twitching this morning… but GMC is dead..
