Ticklish Things

Ah Lien typed her assignment furiously. She wasn’t approaching her deadline, but when she’s got an idea, she’s gotta type it out as fast as she can. So she channeled all her energy into processing whatever was on her brain unto the keyboard.

Then a buzz distracted her. Something flew right past her. She paused her academic mode and looked at her stack of notes. She saw that brown creepy crawling thing creepily trickle over her notes. Its feelers prodded the ink on the paper, then the pen nearby. Its six legs wriggled through whatever was on its way. Then it saw Ah Lien.

The cockroach freaked out and flew right into her face and into her nose. It couldn’t exactly fit her nose so the cockroach wriggled very nastily through her brain. Ah Lien screamed and jumped from her seat and tried digging the cockroach out of her nose.

In truth, all the jumping and digging only eased the cockroach’s entry into Ah Lien’s body. Nose poo came out. Tears poured out. Then the cockroach finally exploded through the insides of her nose and slid down Ah Lien’s throat. It was still alive. It managed to grab the edge of the end of her throat before falling into the cauldron of acid in the stomach.

So the cockroach tickled Ah Lien’s stomach very hard. She continued to jump psychotically for a while. Then the cockroach dropped into the acid and died.

Then Ah Lien swore she could hear war drums resonating from all over the place. She looked down at her feet and saw that millions of six legged, slimy brown cockroaches where tickling through her feet and feeling her skin. She stood there, not knowing what to do. She slowly opened her mouth in fear, only to realize that cockroaches, stained with fresh blood, came crawling out through her mouth and her nose, like champions of war. Soon her ears bled too, and her eyes ruptured.

Killer cockroaches.
