too scared to go to bed because there was a fucking scorpion in my apartment walking around like it owned the place earlier. what if there are more.
sad to say i did kill it and sweep its corpse outside but like what if apollo got stung or ate it or something. the only reason i knew it was there was because i heard apollo chirping and meowing at it, so i looked up from the couch and saw him trying to paw at it and i was like EEEEEEQUQUHGHHH NONONONONO
i dont WANT to be the person that kills bugs and arachnids, i WANT to be the person that puts them outside, but even outside of fearing for my cats safety specifically with a fucking scorpion, big spiders and roaches and now scorpions (which ive never seen irl btw this is the first one and granted it was maybe the size of my pinky, maybe even smaller, but still)—irl those scare me So Bad like visceral gut dropping fear, that leaving them alone makes me so anxious and wiggy i do not feel safe unless i am throwing my shoe at them and making sure they are Not walking around in my space anymore
plus its like yeah i WANT to put them outside, but outside is where they CAME from and they came IN from outside with absolute ease, i LITERALLY watched this scorpion crawl under my door like it was nothing and then crawl back inside before i killed it
like if i put the shit outside with that in mind its just gonna come back inside. and i dont WANT THAT.
im just so bothered rn and nervous like whats next. an Adult scorpion. a fucking snake. am i gonna see a goddamn home invader crawling up from underneath my door with a knife ready to kill me. anythings fucking possible now.
