evolution

Waking up at night for a drink of water, I chanced upon a cockroach scurrying across the kitchen floor.

I attempted the skirt around that little fella and slip into the toilet.

However, this is where they do the very thing which makes them downright roaches.

It ran towards me.

A mix of emotions welled up within me.

Fear of course, just imagining the feelers hitting my toes sends chills up my spine.

But more than that, it was frustration. "how can you be so stupid as to run TOWARDS me?" 

But within the frustration, I saw some light.

The chances of a cockroach surviving can possibly be higher if it throws itself in a seeming kamikaze towards the human antagonist. 

You didn't exist so long for nothing. For that I respect you.

but... *squish*. Better luck next time. Your million year lesson ended in my moment of bravery.

Humans adapt too, you cocky scum.
