Heya guys!
As you know, I’m participating in Sandra’s February challenge. The prompt for 7th is “I killed it” and since it’s already 8th where I am, I’ll be incorporating the prompt for 8th- “Too much” as well.
Do check out the prompts for her challenge! It’s not the usual kind annnddd there are no particular rules!
Here is her post!
It was a grey, cloudy evening. It looked like those heavy clouds would give in and start their outpour any second. And I, was pretty much the same.
I was a dark grey, heavy, filled to the brim, explode any second kind of cloud! My playlist shuffled on to play- Everglow by Coldplay, on cue.
Definitely what I wanted to hear right about now.
And just as I stared at my screen, to skip the song- plop
A huge waterdrop fell on my screen.
Well well well, you know it!
Seemed like the Universe wanted to me let go. But nope. I will not
Not here
I am not going to be, crying on the street while walking girl.
Not today
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice that I had run face first into somebody.
I mean, is it my fault they stopped so suddenly?
Quickly apologising, I put one foot in front of the other and was determined to get home as fast as possible. Before I could get any more wet and before I could fall apart. In the street. For everyone to look at me. I had to get to the safety of my walls
Thankfully, the clouds didn’t let go all at once. It was raining but not as heavily. It wasn’t windy. And if I walked faster, I could avoid what usually follows after lightening.
10 minutes of brisk walking later, I arrived wet into my small but comfortable apartment.
A quick shower later, I head to the kitchen to make myself something nice.
And that’s when I saw that menace.
A tiny cockroach.
Eeeek
Grabbing my broomstick, I lashed out on this creature.
Me, a 5’5 grown woman and a barely 1 inch creature. A hardly fair fight. But what in life is fair?
I felt disgusted but also I was out for blood.
Couple of thwarps later,
I killed it… maybe a little too much.
And that’s when I decided to break down.
Tear after tear, I was crying my eyes out. All of me unleased into a storm.
Raging against the one outside.
A breakdown was scheduled after all.
Are you playing along?

No matter how big you are, it is the roach that has unfair odds. They are fast and they can live without their heads for days. Killing it too much is the only way to go. Good story and good job on making it a twofer.

The broomstick reminded me of joke the other week. A friend of mine had to cancel our meeting, she said her broom was in the shop (meaning she couldn’t fly to meet me). π
Poor little cockroaches…

Franz Kafka. (It’s about a young man who wakes up one morning to discover he has ‘Metamorphosed’ into a giant cockroach. It’s considered one of the great works in the Western canon. It’s pretty short…)
