I have trapped a bug. A very large bug.

Living on the 7th floor of a modern high-rise building in the heart of downtown Chicago … that just doesn’t happen all that often. In fact, this may be first one I’ve found and detained in my … 2+ years living in this building. Had them all the time at my last place, but here I haven’t. I’ve got new windows and all that, so it just doesn’t happen all that much.

Anyway, I’ve trapped him beneath a clear plastic cup that is weighted down by an old AMD processor. MWUHAHAHAHAHA … just try and escape from that you lil’ pest!

Oh I’ll go back and let him out … once he’s dead.

I know, I know “Aw, just let him go … take him outside and free him”.

No. Firstly there is the off chance that in moving the cup he’ll escape! Also, he’s been in there for like 20 minutes now … I’d wager he’s pretty pissed off. If I let him go who’s to say he’s not going to come back for revenge?!

No, no … best to see to it that he dies.

Then again … I don’t really want anything to have died in my bedroom … ever. I mean if there is anything worse than a large bug (which will for my own sanity go unclassified) it’s a the vengful ghost of a large bug.

Maybe I will let him go. Maybe not. Maybe I’ll keep him as a pet?
