morbid and creepifying! :)
yeesh. some blogger i am, eh? :P
anyway. had some fun with this one & felt like sharing. at work, we've just finished taking entries for this contest, where the challenge was to write a "mini-epic" story of exactly 100 words on any topic. although employees were (naturally) not allowed to enter, we were all encouraged to give it a go anyway for fun.
here's mine.

We were there at the beginning. Our elders sing the tale of our countless agile legs dancing this world into existence.
We watched from snug dark places as dynasties flourished and fell - the giant dragonflies, the nimble amphibians, the great lizards.
When you conquered the world, you tried to persecute our kind. We simply slipped in around the edges of your lives, and thrived in a land of riches beyond imagining.
We will be there at the end. When you have gone, we will feast on the detritus of a billion Happy Meals.
No Roach Motel will stop us then.
