It is early morning, and nothing is in here but me and a mosquito. I have noticed it buzzing around the desk lamp. I expect it will be only a matter of time until it notices me sitting here. Once it leaves the safety of the lamp it will, of course, become much more difficult to see.
I could, I suppose, go out to the garage, and get a can of Raid. My concern there is that I will end up inhaling more of the deadly poison than the mosquito. I guess I could just smack him with the can, and not spray the thing at all. For that matter, I could use my shoe.
If it were not early morning, then I wouldn’t need to concern myself with being quiet, but as I am the only one awake, (except the mosquito) I don’t wish to wake everyone by smacking at the drapes or lamp with a shoe.
“What was that!”
"Go back to sleep, it was only me knocking over the desk lamp."
If life goes on as it usually does, sometime later today I will find myself itching. A small bump will arise, and I will know who won the battle. I’m not really sure if I am just destined to be someone else’s snack or if the mosquito simply has better luck than me.

Hummmm, a similar thing happened to me just yesterday! There I was, in the bathroom, minding my own business, when I happened to see a black spider up in the far corner of the ceiling. It was the size of a quarter! I also thought about getting the Raid and giving it a spray - however my mind went to washing off the wall, ceiling and molding afterwards. Or I could just get the vacuum cleaner and suck him up. Well, I finished my business, and left the bathroom, but I remembered the spider hours later. Going back to check and I wondered if he would still be there. Nope! He had moved on! Now I find myself wondering just where and when we will meet up again! Scary!!
