Keeping me up.

As I lay in bed trying to work through the days issues at work, my mind is wandering. The warm summer air is blowing through the window.

I give up worrying and put my CPAP on, I usually knock off as soon as I put it on.

About three minutes into CPAP time, I feel tiny feet, soft as fog, walk across my bare leg. I'm thinking, oh damn another fly in the house.

I dozed off to la la Land and wake up a few hours later to go to the bathroom. I take care of business and come back to bed and when I pull the sheets back I see the biggest cockroach ever staring up at me.

He was one of those flying ones, he took off and climbed up the wall to the ceiling. I used Off on him put it took forever for him to fall to the floor.

Now I'm waiting for the rest of his family to show up. No sleep tonight.

I probably should have flagged this one for keeping me up tonight lol, you need to give a warning to those of us who have an over-active imagination. I'll be dreaming of creepy crawlies tonight for sure! 😮

Lol I share your same feeling @deaconlee ..thinking that I was almost enjoying the use of the prompt in the context of a fly.. I have an primordial horror for those kind of animals @wonderpop but..well written! ;-)
