Unharmed

I heard the small gasp of disgusted terror in the other room, and walked in quickly to find her staring at my board game shelving.


"What's the matter?"


"I just saw a huge cockroach scamper behind there!"


"Oh, is Rupert out and about? Fine, I'll-"


"You named it?"


"Well, yeah, since if I name and avoid killing it, I can claim I only have one."


She made a face.


"That's really stupid, you obviously don't have just one!"


"Yeah, but it's part of the ecosystem. Next you'll complain about the harmless spiders up there."


She looked up and screamed again.
