Hide In Shadows

The Intruder

Last night I woke up around 5.30 in the morning with a strange feeling in my body.

I knew I was not alone in the apartment.

Within seconds, all my senses were on high alert, and I slid out of bed like a panther, ready to face whatever danger had trespassed into my private lair.

Because it's summer here in Greece, I keep my bedroom door shut so the cool air provided by my air condition unit won't escape out into the rest of my apartment, but I could feel the presence of an intruder through the door.

I didn't have anything big enough to use as a weapon in my bedroom, so armed only with the modest tools nature gave me, I opened my bedroom door that leads out into a hallway.

Then I saw him.

He was standing in the middle of the hallway, right outside my bathroom and looking straight at me not even 10 feet away. He was huge.

I froze.

We stood there looking at each other for a few seconds, then he spun around and ran into my bathroom.

I jumped into my office that is straight across from my bedroom, and picked up the biggest book I could find - a bodybuilding book called High Intensity Training by Mike Mentzer, and ran after him.

For some reason he decided that there was no place to hide in my bathroom, so just as I came in through the door, he tried to run past me and escape into the kitchen.

He was lightning fast, but I was faster, and the full wrath of High Intensity Training by Mike Mentzer hit him in the back of his head.

I heard a crunching sound, and I knew he was dead

Just to make sure, I stepped on the book a few times. Maybe fueled by adrenaline anger, I wanted to set an example - this is my domain! I rule these halls!

I really hate bugs of all kinds, and especially cockroaches. There is something nefariously evil about them, and if I had a choice, I'd rather take them on with a ranged weapon and not a book.

He is gone though. I flushed the evidence down the toilet.

But I still can't shake the feeling that he didn't come alone...

lol awesome. I lived in Texas for a while and some water cockroaches took up residence under our kitchen sink. when the exterminator came and sprayed the poison into their secret underground lair, dozens of them came swarming out.

Texas-sized flyswatter in hand, I massacred the bastards hehehe.

You can always get centipedes they eat cockroach eggs. But then you have a bunch of centipedes running around your house.

Other option would to not keep bats, their droppings tend to attract large amounts of cock roaches. I have only met one person in my life who avoided cockroaches by keeping bats and he did this by making their aviary a giant fish tank. He was also a former set designer at Universal studios in Florida so he had an up.

Last and final option would be to move into an igloo.

You really got me with this one. I thought your life was in danger at the beginning!

Anyways, just stopped by to say hello. Haven't seen you post in a while.

And to wish Elias a Happy Birthday! Hope you both have a good day.
