A/N- This one isn't serious at all. It's me being chaotic. Have fun reading.

Last night,
There was a bug in my room.
I'm cool with the spiders,
But I draw the line at space invaders.

He was chilling in the ceiling.
I threw my shoe at him.
He didn't like that.
He flew onto the pull string of my fan.

Little bastard.
Must have known I couldn't throw my shoe there.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I started spitting into the air and trying to hit him.

I know, I'm a gay wreck.
But his wing curled up.
I
GOT
HIM.

To attempt to get him down,
I tried whacking the fan with several different flannels.
None of them were heavy enough to give me any accuracy.
I kept missing.

He disappeared.
I decided to take a break.
There were black spots in my vision.
I was dizzy.
I was shaking.
I coughed
And it tasted metallic.
Am I dying?

I became paranoid.
I saw shadows dance across the ceiling.
Are his wings dry?
True terror was realized.

One last time,
To put my mind at peace,
I walked back over to the fan.

HE WAS THERE.

I threw my shoe.

He fell to the ground.

I mercilessly slaughtered him.

I can watch Friends in peace.
