i stared at the plastic bag. was it just my imagination, or had it just crinkled? i squinted. the window was shut, so it wasn't the wind. what was it then, to have made the plastic bag crumple and crinkle like that? i hurried into my room and thrust my specs onto my face and ran back into the kitchen. gingerly, i lifted the bag, my nerves alight. there was nothing on the wall behind it.. was there? a sharp movement caught my eyes. the brown tail, the squiggling body.. no doubt about it, it was a lizard. and near the kitchen utensils too! my skin crawled as i imagined where it would have crawled if i had not noticed it. calling for my Da, he came to the rescue. or was it to the murder scene.. the brown reptile had scuttled to the narrow space between the wall and the window grille, protected by a pipe in front. Da narrowed his eyes dangerously as he calmly took a cup, and filled it with boiling water. my eyes widened. "You can't possibly be planning to-" he splashed the scalding water right at where the lizard was. smoke hissed angrily, and the creature scurried out, heading straight for the stove. if it had a voice, i think it would have been screaming. Da refilled the cup calmly and splattered the boiling liquid once more. it rushed toward the sink and paused. it was now directly in front of me, and i stared at it, frozen in shock. up close, i could see it's once-scaly body glistening and seemingly soft, its toes turning pink. its large eyes were glazed over, and they swiveled toward me. we locked gazes for a while. i could see it breathing -gasping- for air, and i could almost imagine what pain and shock it must be going through. Da swooped down and scopped it into a kitchen towel, flung the wad into the toilet bowl and flushed it down the sewers. i stood staring, gaping. the entire event took less than ten minutes, yet i felt really guilty. in the few seconds that the defenseless creature and i had, it felt like i had just witnessed a murder. it's stupid, isn't it, feeling sentimentality. |

Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
