There was a brown beetle on my blanket last night.<\/p>\n
Being the unreactive (or shall I say calm and collected) guy I was, I did not panic or call my mommy (she was asleep).<\/p>\n
I waved the blanket in the air, trying to shake off the bug(ger), but it persisted! It stuck there, with its tiny claws in the checkered fibres.<\/p>\n
Improvised I did! I took a long toilet roll tube and cupped it. I then covered the opening of the well<\/i> with thick tissue paper. I then overturned the toilet roll tube, with the blanket following. Twap!<\/i> I flicked the other side of the blanket like the finest illusionists of those days.<\/p>\n
I slowly removed the blanket, covering it with another piece of tissue. I had captured the miniscule beast! I felt its helpless weight tumbling through the tube as I walked to the window. I held it outside and released the bottom tissue door; the tissue fell, with what appeared to be the bug on a ride of its life down the first floor rooftop.<\/p>\n
I walked back to bed, knowing I had spared a bug’s life<\/i>.<\/p>\n
As if to thank me, it whizzed, flying back into the room later, happily exploring the room. My brother and I avoided. Made me wish I threw the tube with both walls still on! Its cage would fall apart upon descent anyway. We laughed and figured it shouldn’t come back (or we weren’t bothered) so we went to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
