Creepy

I was headed for bed, really I was.  Out of the corner of my eye, I see something crawling on the carpet.  I'm just closing windows on the computer, to shut 'er down when it happened.  I turned towards the moving as I saw it scurry under the couch.  Well, maybe not scurry.  Honestly, it looked like it flew, but not even a moth would fly away from light into the dark recesses of the unknown.  That is more a hiding place for creepy crawly things.  Or a frightened mouse.  I swear, if I see a mouse, I'm getting a cat.

If this was Arizona, I would have guessed it to be a roach.  I've seen monstrous cockroaches, more than 2 inches long that stand over an inch off the ground.  It is hard to kill them, as the boogers are fast and crunchy to crush.

I just know as soon as my feet hit the ground to get up, whatever is under the couch will come running out where my barefeet are.  It is difficult to type and watch the spot where I last saw movement.  But if I fall asleep, sitting in this chair, what if it crawls up here?

What?  Did I see something again?  Maybe I am imagining things.  My eyes are playing tricks on me.  What am I going to do???

If you never hear from me again, you'll know something happened.
