Fear


Why is it that every time I kill a bug in the shower or down a drain I am filled with fear and panic that it will come back up and seek its revenge against me? I hardly ever feel bad when I squish a bug, but sending it down the drain gives me the creeps. If I have to take a shower after I send the dastardly spider down to the depths of its death, I can't take my eyes off of the drain the whole time I'm in there. And if I have to turn around, I whip back really fast, just to make sure he hasn't snuck up on me. Sometimes I let the water run for a few minutes before I get in just to make sure he's really dead and gone. And I get all paranoid and I feel like bugs are crawling all over me. Its a very unsettled feeling and its the worst in the world. Is this the work of bug ghosts? Are they tormenting me for hurting their friends and loved ones? Probably. Goodness knows I'd do the same thing if someone sent my mom hurtling to her death down a drain, and drowning her in the process.

Conclusion:
Spiders and other bugs,
Stay out of my sink, toilet and shower. PLEASE. I will send you down the drain, and I don't want to have that unsettled feeling all because of a little thing like you. Thank you.
Best regards,
Dana
