cockroach
the only thing i remember is mom and i talking on the sidewalk in front of our house before we decided to walk to the car. as we’re going to the car, i say something about needing more sleep, and in response, my mom is surprised and skeptical because she thinks i need to change my diet instead. i suddenly fall on to the grass, and a large roach crawls towards me. scared, i grab the roach and try to kill it with my hand but the shell is too tough and it slips out of my hand and onto my shorts. i felt its spiny legs crawl up my stomach before i woke up. eugh.
